Can confirm from D Mil C that Officer and NCM CT's are merit-based and not first-come-first-serve. NCM files are compared to one another to determine if the mbr is accepted.
Sounds like the TAPV may come mounted with a Kongsberg M153 RWS meaning it could be equipped with an M2, C16 AGL or C6 (looks like they may have fixed some C6 ammo issues in this version).
Nah - THAT is the understatement of the year ;)
Don't discount us engineers - when we're not doing engineer-specific tasks, we're acting as infantry where required. In Afghanistan this usually meant being dismounted alongside infantry and in most cases we were well employed by infantry...
I wore a <a href="http://www.watchallure.com/Coleman-40286-Nylon-Watch-1/">Coleman 40286</a> through workup and two deployments to Afg.
Features:

I'm happy to announce that "Clearing the Way" has successfully been made into a documentary by Paul Culliton, producer of "If I Should Fall" which follows the life of Marc Diab in work-up and the Afghan mission.
LCol Gasparotto was present on Parliament Hill with Mr Culliton for the initial...
Thank you for taking the time to reply NMPeters.
I don't think there will be much of a PLAR issue as I left the RegF for the PRes as a Cpl, and to the best of my understanding, the PLQ(L) is the same course for both PRes and RegF, both in terms of length and material.
When it comes to the 6A...

As for the frustration in CT'ing, I'd advise to look a little further out in your career. While you're waiting for the CT to go through, get...

Here's hoping I'm not standing in a long line.

Mr Wallace,
I may also add that I've had the privilege of reading a few first edition manuscripts of books authored by professors and can attest to numerous grammatical and spelling errors. The cleaning up of this may be done by the editor and publishing team, or by the research assistant if...
