Bird Gunner, Remember that it might not be the Giraffe...it has to be multirole with the primary mission being Weapon Locating. I would really like to see in be a true AD radar, because 2 completely different roles assigned to one system is not always particularly successful... read ADATS.

Attention Artillery Locators, STA, Counter Mortar Counter Battery Staff, I am interested in putting together a list of former Canadian Locators, Artillery Surveyors , STA Gunners, or those who were members of the CB or CM staff.  While we readily identify with the history and veterans of the...

Put the Cap Badge up, should be no issues with that for you. New Regt Standing Orders will remove ambiguity.

Thanks to all so far. Primer that was excellent, did you pull that off a database or from memory.

If you are a cadet, CIC, or CI who works with and Artillery Cadet Corps (i.e Cadets wearing Artillery cap badges) then I would like you to reply to this thread. The number and location of the corps, and the Affiliated unit (if you know it) would be helpful. Thanks Scott

Thanks Rocky, I have the RCA Standing Orders, and the RSM has informed me that a similar Doc for the RA does exist. So the search continues, why I decide to do this to myself I'll never know. Scott

Good Idea, I'll ask him... I'm sure he knows

Thanks I've checked the sites, and several others, but no luck.

You must come from the very high end of the middle income if a Captain would seem like the poor member of the family, and your grandmother could even offer to pay for university. I'm not slagging you, just never heard of it mentioned that way.

Does anyone know if a similar type of document exists for the Royal Artillery, to our Regimental Standing Orders.  Not TTPs... customs and traditions. If so does this document exist in electronic form.
