Here is a link to an account of a new FOO's first FTX, in this case with B Coy, 2 PPCLI attached to a British battle group in Suffield. There are some very interesting comments about skill fade and overcoming the differences, slight as they are, between Allies using NATO terminology and artillery procedures.

It certainly is a different world. My first go as a FOO was with a dismounted motorized infantry company in Gagetown. It looks like our FOO training works.
