and of course the RCMP, who have the status of a regiment of dragoons. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/musicalride/index_e.htm I hadn't heard of this before.  I took a look on the RCMP site you linked to but didn't see it, where'd you get this from? Scants

I didn't have any problems ordering from the States.  I just checked amazon.com and the have it on for $18.30.  With the dollar near par, as DirtyDog pointed out, it's an even sweeter deal. Besides, there's only 1 way to find out if there's going to be a problem ordering it and that's to order...

Just after "On Combat" came out, I got my copy via "amazon.com", not "amazon.ca".  Scants

1. Based on the logic of "being seated most of the time" one could say that humping the mountains would be no real problem because, after all, you are just walking. There is a bit more to humping the mountains than walking and there is a bit more to crewing a tank than sitting. 2. Sit in the...

Ahh, EWAT. The time you can waste or make use of. "Will I use the time or will the time use me?" Well, when I was teaching at the recruit school (Gagetown, not St Jean) the company 2 I/C was an OCdt. OK, when on EWAT you can waste it or use it. Depending on your trg schedule this advice may be...

1. When she mumbles "fu%#ing civvies". 2. The kids are told to "mount up" when she is ready to leave the house. Both of these bring a tear to my eye when I hear her say them.

Yes George, You can have OPMEs written off from doing courses other than the actual OPME. I added the link a while back for the Prior Learning Assessment person at RMC, search function should bring it up. All they ask for is the syllabus from the course you did and then they decide whether to...

All right, here it is: After being accepted for UTP, you continue to wear the NCM hatbadge until done up to OCdt. Upon promotion to OCdt, you change rank badges, DEU (if applicable), and are put up the cornflake until completion of IAP, BOTP, and SLT. Corps hatbadges may be worn at the...

Should a snr NCO correct an offr in front of his troops ? Does time in automatically make someone infallable? So, when a snr NCO is in front of the troops and is doing/saying something wrong/dangerous should the offr (or for that matter, anyone) let it pass until they have a moment alone? What...

Back when I was still driving tanks, there was nothing that got your adrenaline going during a live fire battle run (battle run in the training area, not on the new firing points) than "Kickstart My Heart" by the Crue pumping through the IC.  Loader and gunner screaming at each other, me in the...

The easiest thing to do is check the "No" box on your application that asks if you are willing to attend RMC.  If your PSO gets a knot in her face because you don't want to go to RMC, so what. I would assume that RMC is "her" school and she would believe RMC to be the road to success. Hmmm...

Here is a link to an article by Col. Bernd Horn.  In the section on "controlling fear" he discusses the benefits of realistic training, education, etc.  http://www.journal.forces.gc.ca/engraph/vol5/no2/PDF/Leadership_e.pdf Another is the article "Fearlessness and Courage: A Laboratory Study of...

The only thing to do is to ask. The worst they can say is "no".

I'm not sure what your degree is in but if you have any courses that you think might have anything to do with any of the OPMEs (Mil Hist, Pol Sci) you can contact RMC at: Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) (613) 541-6000, ext 3985 , CSN 271-3985 email: plar@rmc.ca They will ask...
