    Proper protocol for Officer Cadets

    One thing that I personally hate is when you salute an officer and they say "Thank you"! You do not need to thank me, it's part of my job to salute, so say something like good day or morning, afternoon whatever just don't thank me for doing my job!

    RCD News

    RECCECREWMAN, The same thing is happening here in Edmonton, the base is saying something about the shacks being for training only or crap like that, and that the soldiers should live out on the economy! Thats not a bad idea, except for the fact that a house in Edmonton is around $400,000 for a...

    CEOTP and 15 other questions

    I think I can answer some of these, But my first question to you is why would you want to do something your family is against?  That will be your biggest challenge, esp when all you want to do is finish and be with them. 1) No cover letter needed! 2) It's all about competition, but I don't...

    tankers personal weapons and 9 mm vs 5.7 mm

    Hale, I believe the reason we use the C8 and not a SMG any more is because you could use it effectively (for the most part) up to 300m where an SMG would fall short, I like that idea, as I would rather try to hit someone at 300m rather than up close. Mind you, the way I shoot they would all...

    Extreme heat in army tanks endangers troops; forces use tank blanket to keep troops from baking

    Sorry just a few things, 1) it's a LEO C2 not C1(different turret) 2) walking with kit on down a mountain is different, you might get some type of breeze, and if anyone has been in a veh with windows closed, you know the only breeze you get is man made! 3) The RCD's we had with us in texas a...

    Gun Camp 2007

    Ya I have to agree, not one tank can't be a gun camp!!! But being an ex Forester, and knowing they use to have Sherman tanks back in the day, I guess I can let it slide! I didn't see anyone I recognized, but then again most would be WO's and CSM's by now! At least it looked like you guys had fun!

    FULL TIME FEILD PAY FOR COMBAT ARMS??? TRUE OR NOT TRUE

    My understanding, from what I have read is that it will be for field units, no back pay, and you cannot get it if you are on a category (T-CAT or P-CAT) You have to be fit to go to the field. It's supposed to be around $288 a month. It gets rid of the field pay and brings something into line...
