PAY., Here are the 2008 Pay Tables for civilian federal employees. http://www.opm.gov/oca/08tables/html/RUS_h.asp I cannot tell you what your pay will be if you come work here because I do not know how many years of active duty you have, whether or not you have a degree, and what your locality pay i...

Its pretty fun if you're into this sort of extreme outdoors stuff. Otherwise it can be a real ball buster. Sometimes you stand at the foot of a great slope knowing that it's going to be 90 degrees plus in 30 minutes and you have at least 6 km to your worksite to begin working. Last summer I had to c...

In this profession, 40 year olds are mere pups. All the BTDT's are approaching retirements in the next 5 years or so. So there is a big interest in hiring right now. I'm 38 and my ruck speed is what I consider slow, but these guys think I just FLY up mountains and are often surprised at the loads I ...

I didn’t know which section of the forum to post this in, so I guessed here. I am trying to help out my infantry brothers, I know it can be hard to find a job when being a grunt is all you’ve ever done, at least that’s how it was for me at one time. But working for the federal government – w...

Chill, The war is over on this one. The combined arms directorate at Ft. friggen Knox - the armor center- is responsible for the doctrine of the DRT. I don't like it either, anymore than I like a black beret, but whats done is done. There are Soldiers to train. I complained I wrote arguments, check ...

I've got some new poop for those 11B's within the Dismounted Recon Troop (DRT). I've sent out a few copies of the SOP I made for the DRT Scout Teams. But in the very near future it will be availabe online for you to download directly without asking me for a copy. It will be available on an official ...

Do they make it any easier on foreign military officers that go through Ranger school? Reason I ask is that there is this Polish officer who was in the GROM, he wears a Ranger Tab, some of the GROM guys I know say words to the effect that he's not the best example of fortitude, and they wonder how h...

I've been doing a lot of studying lately, mostly because I got pissed that everyone is saying "we're RSTA" but no one has any idea what that means. Most of us, including myself have the terminology all wrong. Chew on this for a second then let me explain: RSTA is a set of TASKS!, Reconnais...

There is a product that I havn't tried yet, but I orderd some today called "Squeaky Cheeks." Its not a greasy formula, its a powder that keeps your ass/balls from chaffing. Anyhow, I found it in the Diamondback Tactical catalog, they don't sell it in their online store. So I had to send th...

Ranger why,

I listed them cause I wanted to be clear that I am not a leg and also to demonstrate that although I am not a ranger, I am no cherry either. Thats all.

Thanks for the welcomes gents... : :o

Well it must've paid off 'cause he was pretty highly thought of in our Mech. Inf Battalion. Sgt. Goens as I knew him came to our platoon from one of the infantry line companies in our battalion. Back then the scouts in the mech inf bn.'s were supposed to be 19D's. I was 11H, and they were short of s...

Much appreciated.

It probably is him, Medium height blond guy, acne scars. Quiet. Ring a bell?
