    What book are you reading now?

    Just about to finish a re-read of Dune. Only read it once before, many years ago. Watched the miniseries a bunch. Debating whether to continue on with the next two (as covered in the "sequel" miniseries). I know later on the series diminishes in quality when the son takes over, but still, might...

    Seeing a lot of recommendations for digital, here.  Any reason why that over analog?

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Is there a reason why they keep issuing them, if they're that bad? That's probably a lot of money that could be spent on other, more practical, items (unless they already have a crapload sitting in a warehouse and have been slowly issuing them just to get them out of storage).

    Being for fired or let go for enlisting?

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a reason why you should tell your employer till there's something concrete to tell them. It just seems more risk than reward, unless you have a SOLID relationship with your employer. Can't say I'd be an expert on the situation, though.

    A cadpat backpack gifted by my CIC supervisor

    I highly doubt that he would've given you something you wouldn't be allowed to own. Many manufacturers produce clothing/gear in CADPAT for civilian purchase. Some of it high-quality, some of it cheap crap meant for airsoft/paintball players and guys who like to dress up as soldier. Backpacks...

    Jtrans Artillery Questions- Merged

    Don't you need to complete a Police Foundations or an equivalent course to become an MP? Granted, the OP isn't looking to become an MP, but still.

    Ship's Boarding Party [Merged]

    They'll probably keep it Navy only, which makes sense if it's supposed to be a higher trained version of the NBP. I'm not quite sure what you mean by a "one-off" posting, though.

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    Second link has good information, but the first has nothing except a link to a search with no keywords (and thus no results).

    Ship's Boarding Party [Merged]

    This sounds like an interesting plan. Will this also be a secondary duty/specialization like the current NBPs or will it become the primary occupation of those who make it through? Will experience on existing NBPs be a requirement of this new occupation or will sailors be able to apply...
