My buddy Matt is a real estate agent and spent 10 years in the army, so he is very well versed in our specific moves and what we need.

1: As I mentioned, you obviously arent in 3VP. We havent had 3 rifle companies for months. I taught on the last course, so when it comes to this stuff I am pretty up to date. Interesting you mention all the people attached to us at the time, because that is news to me. A medic, yes, but not the...
You mention you are infantry, and out west. I am quite certain from your post that you sure arent in 3 VP.
1: There is no jump battalion, it is a jump company. Recce has a jump det, and most snipers are static square / MFP qualified.
2: We have a number of PPF qualified members, and there is...
Ah crap, sorry guys! I totally forgot about this post! I am sitting on duty as BOS right now, but when I get home tomorrow I will post the photos!
The Russian one is the standard issue, with cap and a belt. There is also the urban cam worn by OMON (federal police) and spetsnaz, and comes with...
I wouldnt push too hard to keep it. Think of showing up after having done two years in the reserves and being a Cpl ahead of those in the regs who have been in for three years and are still Ptes. When I went from Res to Reg I did my QL3 again ( 10 weeks 1st time, 16 weeks the 2nd) and didnt...
We had one guy in 3VP who was openly gay. He was also very fit, and very strong. No one dared to even utter a word of homophobic BS his way!
Honestly, from my point of view as an NCO in an infantry unit, there may be a bit of talk, but I know that you will be judged way more on your work ethic...
Deep Reconnaissance Platoons, or DRPs, are units within Recon Battalions that carry out the role of Force Reconnaissance. So my statement was fair.
I am not even going to touch on the other stuff said here. The fact that people think that regular Canadian infantry units are pretty much special...
Did you really just say that? Having worked with a lot of other infantry units from around the world, we are are pretty on par with the standard. Comparing us to USMC FR, which is the SF of the marines is an unfair, and unfit comparison. There is a very tough selection, and the course is...
OMG !! OPSEC!!!! Imagine the secrets they could gain from me!!! I bet there is going to be someone at the border waiting for me to ask me all sorts of questions about stuff they could easily google!!!
I have to say, it is pretty strange how little joint training we do. The concept of 'one mission, one team' would hold a lot more weight if we actually did some tri-force exercises! Obviously this would take A LOT of planning, but now that the war is over, this is the sort of stuff we should...
This is interesting:
Thank you for submitting your Notice of Intent to Travel to Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Poland. Travel dates are 2013-06-30 through 2013-07-19. It is understood that these dates may vary slightly. We are pleased to provide pertinent security information...
I have to admit, as someone who travels quite a bit (more than 50 countries) I am amazed at some of the advice given on here to people in an attempt to maintain OPSEC.
From my experience, having travelled with people who are less experienced, the more concerned you are with OPSEC and hiding...
In regards to the ships, I really cant say anything since I have no idea what any of the mentioned data really means.
As an NCO who has served 11 years in the infantry, I can touch on the Marine Light Infantry force mentioned.
We have 9 infantry battalions, and that is all we need. However...
