    Should the C-6 MMG be upgraded??

    I think a earlier post hit the nail on the head.  The IPSW Crse came out of the need to streamline Trg and since the 50 cal at that time was expected to be removed from the System.  It was decided to condense the MG Crse into a IPSW as part of the DP package.  This was done with the noblest...

    Should the C-6 MMG be upgraded??

    Point to note in accuracy.  N Coy since 3 RCR stood back up has been light Inf with a leaning towards role of being the SME's on Heli Op's.  They were Mech'd up for the tour. ( plus and minus of that is for a differant thread) Not sure if someone has already pointed that out as I am still...

    Should the C-6 MMG be upgraded??

    What doesnt help is taking a 5-6 week long MG Crse and condensing it to the currrent PSWQ.  In that the C6 in the SF role is taught and passed in a fraction of the time as it use to be.  Gone are the in depth lessons that use to be mandatory for the SF kit.  I dont know if I should laugh or...

    Mom says daughter should get slain soldier's medal

    This is where it falls on the soldiers to ensure they keep the forms updated.  You can while deployed add and remove as required for recipients.  It also helps if you let your family know who was chosen and that invariably means you should let it be know why someone was not choosen.  By not...

    Mom says daughter should get slain soldier's medal

    It is automatic,,,,,,,,,,, if that child is put down as the recipient for it.  There is space for 5 (I think) it is up to a soldier to designate to whom.  I can see in the case of a large family running into problems. However there is range and scope in the system for flexiability.  Bottom line...
