    The Excalibur Merged Thread

    The way that it has been explained to me is that the FOO will first send down the grid for the target.  Then they will pick out a safe area in close proximity to the actual target and that grid will be used to compute firing data for the Guns.  If by chance the round fails to function properly...

    Ex Charging Bison (Winnipeg)

    (Quote) Thanks a lot Arty for not helping anyone but yourselves in Red River. FSG and DNS were doing their part and helping out with base tasks like sandbagging, putting up/taking down mods and just helping out here and there and you guys did nothing but sit in your mods and frig the dog. When...

    Only one BOTP for reservists?

    Yes it is true that it is more cost effective for units to send Officers on locally run BMQ, rather than spend the $1500 or so for flights out to Gagetown for the BOTP.  But I have heard some complaints about these mixed BMQs.  As an officer the staff expect more from you and you are often...

    Ex Charging Bison (Winnipeg)

    Yeah Wiersema , The guns do kick ass. But in my experience with 38 Bgd exs, the planners have an uncanny knack of giving all the cool stuff to the infantry and then F***ing over the gunners. Happen in 04 when they made us enemy force in Kenora, worst bloody ex of my life.  Then again the 4 feet...

    CAP training - breaks between modules?

    First off there is no such thing as CAP for Infantry Officer, the course is Common Army Phase meaning that all officers wishing to serve in the army will take this course together.  Arty, Inf, Armoured, log and you might even be lucky enough to get one of those crap hats on your course (Air...

    CAP training - breaks between modules?

    I highly recommend that if you can, you take the course in its entirety.  Not only will you be used to the PT schedual, but having the course material fresh in your mind will help you out in following mods. I suffered an injury that required continuing the course the following summer and in my...
