    for everyone who joins

    Don't think you are dumb just because you are relatively young.  If you act as a reasonable and responsible person, you will be treated as such (except by your parents, it is their job to always treat you as a kid :P)

    Tips on Cleaning the C-7

    Further to Recceguy's comments, minimize your use of CLP for cleaning the rifle.  Ironically enough, the rifle will look cleaner if you do a less through job (i.e. not use CLP to clean it) than if you did it properly.

    Hey, Reservists!

    Techs in the militia have a really raw deal in some aspects.  It takes years to train an EME tech in the reserves (1 month BMQ, 1 month SQ, 1 month EME Common, 3-4 months for QL3s... with almost all done during summers only!!!).  Retention is also difficult since many people aren't willing to...
