My apologies for the double post but I logged out and realized that I had a follow-up question: Once assigned to a unit, would it be typical for a Sig O to stay there for the duration of their term of service?  Or would a Sig O be transfered if they were needed elsewhere?

That's the information I was looking for and I'll keep in mind that the makeup of units is not static.  Very interesting and exciting. Needless to say, it sounds very demanding.  Thanks!

We could set up computer network via radio and post video of our best zombie kills.  It would be great.  I could mow down a bunch of them with an MG42.

You never know.  It's true.  I try to remind myself on a regular basis that everything I think is right could be wrong.  First, I'll prepare for things that I think might actually happen.  Then, I'll prepare for a zombie apocalypse. I think I'd start by fortifying my house.  Putting in a steel...

Thucydidles, According to this news article, the poster removed it, not Facebook. <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/lesbians-are-hot-facebook-apology-1.3695390">Lesbians are 'hot' pro-oilsands Facebook post removed, apology made</a> From the article: <blockquote>After a storm of...

Preamble: "tl;dr" (too long didn't read). I have a tendency to go on and on . . . Feel free to skip to my questions.  They're ordered from most to least important on the page.  Thank you for your help.  I appreciate it. It looks like Ammunition Officer Certificate is aimed mostly at people...

Yeah, hey, I could be wrong.  I guess I won't be prepared for a zombie apocalypse.

Scott, my apologies, I'm used to a forum that automerges double posts so I've developed some bad habits. Oh and you can call me MG42 for short. ----------------- The thing about climate change is that the Earth isn't a simple system.  It's easy to understand how heat gets trapped under carbon...

Most of us hard scientists don't consider psychology a real science. Reproducibility is a problem.  That's why it bugs me when people try cherry picking ONE single article that was recently published and has never been cited as though it absolutely proves or disproves something. Bias due to...

I can't help myself.  It ruins most horror films for me.  The Walking Dead has bored me to tears for a few seasons.

My apologies for the double post.

That must have taken a lot of paid-duty work. ============= Merging two posts ============= I don't understand why any organization would advertise their hiring practices like that. I think the whole concept of race should just be ignored.  The problem is that you can't ignore it face to...

No need to worry about a zombie apocalypse.  Zombies can't repair themselves, so they'd wither away in a few weeks.  They'd dry out completely after a few weeks in the sun.  They'd freeze and be unable to move in the winter and freezing would destroy any of their tissues.  They'd be eaten by...

That's what I said (that my goal isn't to educate anyone or go in and start arguments) and I know I worried about it too much.  I came up with a scenario that is so unlikely to happen. As for Sheldon, I cannot stand that show.  I've only ever come across two scientists who reminded me of people...

I don't necessarily think some films that are seen as being "anti-war" films are actually "anti-war" in that I don't believe people watching them necessarily think any differently about war after watching them.  I think part of the reason people (generally men) watch war films is because we are...

Well, at the very least it would give me a good story.  Some of these myths are so strongly believed that they seem self-evident.  I think his jaw would just drop open. More than likely it won't come up.  Hopefully it is so far in the past that it won't really matter.  I have not used many...

I expect the CAF to have a conservative attitude towards drugs.  I believe that abstinence from psychoactive drugs is the best policy in the military and civilian life.  It is self-evident to me that I perform much better when I abstain from any intoxicating substance (this would include alcohol...

Hi, I searched the forums and could not find anything directly relevant and this is about the closest I can find.  Sorry if I've hijacked the thread.  I have applied for a few positions, including Signals Officer (direct entry), Pharmacy Officer (ROTP) and Medical Officer.  I don't have a...

A bit more advice: Answer the questions that you can answer first. If you don't think you can answer something or get stuck, then skip the question and come back to it later.  If you are not penalized for wrong answers then guess. If you have time then be sure to double check your answers...

Visual-spatial abilities can be improved with practice.  Chemists (and other scientists) often need to develop spatial-visualization skills.  There has been research done into helping engineering students develop spatial-visualization skills. I will see if I can find some resources for...
