Good evening, I am looking for information regarding the relatively new AOO trade on the reserve side. Is anyone aware of reserve units with billets/recruiting for this trade? And would anyone be able to shed some light into what the trade course actually looks like (i.e. modality, length...

Thank you, this is helpful and definitely aligned with some of the assumptions I had.

Good evening, I have an RFI from a member who wants to VOT from PAO (Navy) to TDO in the reserves. It was flagged to me that the TDO trade is open for both NAVRES and Army Reserve (as per the recruiting website); however, since it is a purple trade my assumption is that the branch manages entry...

Ack, thank you. F

Mods - should this post be moved somewhere else to see if it can yield any replies  ;D? F

Hello, It's been years since I have posted here (no worries, did the search function check). Just a question that was raised and I am hoping experienced HRAs or PSOs would be able to answer: Given that BMOQ is supposed to be a common element course is there a reason why Army Reserve officers...

I am just serving the same Queen, so I have the same master ;D!  In reality I am under no obligation to serve with the UK, not even in a national emergency case sort of thing. I am just participating in a training stablishment. However, with the Supp. res I do have the obligation to serve if...

I did not get to do my PLQ unfortunetly. UOTC stands for University Officer Training Corps, which technically are university units part of the Territorial Army (Brit army reserves), hoewever their role is to train OCdts and therefore they are not operational for deployment. They pretty much...

That is right... Colombia's combat wing consists of 12 Kfir fighters and 10 more were recently order to Israel, but most military spending goes to anti insurgency equipment and training. Probably, in matters of personel training Colombia is better, however Venezuela has spent A LOT of...

Well, I would not see president Lula getting that involved appart from the mediator role if Chavez rotten brain sees a casus bellum and decides to attack Colombia. At least the ratification of Venezuela's membership into Mercosur (Southern Common Market) is at stake right now as the Brazilians...

Mr. Chavez pisses me off so much. For those who have seen his rants in "Alo Presidente" you just have to love how he calls everyonethat it is outside his "21st Century Socialism" club, immorals, puppies of the empire, criminals, assassins etc etc. However, it seems he has the moral high ground...

Russia as the raison d'etre for NATO simply won't work anymore. The Europeans prefer to approach Russia through the Stategic Partnership and the ENP set up a couple of years ago. Russia itself is behaving more in its own microcosm as it wants to define itself as an autonomous actor in the...

It reminds me of my sweet Basque fatherland... nationalist punks setting garbage bins on fire and playing with HMEs. I really despise nationalist douche bags. They harm more of "their people" and damage the infrastructure of their beloved region in the name of self determination. Logical...
