Whoops! However, in many cases it is the only way if you want to move forward.

You naughty, naughty person. Naughty!

Thank you, Dr_Evil. I'm flattered.

Meh. You've got some way to go:

Level 1: Cheeky trickster
Level 2: Naughty
Level 3: Under-henchman
Level 4: Henchman
Level 5: Arch-henchman
Level 6: Mrs Evil
Level 7: No 2

Can't wait to tell Mrs the good news.... After doing courses every single year since SDR to get to the next rank ... I know find the goal posts moved from being no courses to around 3-4 for me to get to Capt (If I choose to go that route).

Even if the OC is willing to sign the MK1 excemption to attend JOTAC (which I am sure he will), still need it to get promoted hence might as well do it first. Not holding my breath for MK1(V) as likely to be some time before we see it. In the meantime will continue to print the modules off as at least that gives me an option when going online not available. Whilst I think that the principle of doing the same courses as the Regs is a good one, it must be having a real impact on some units where troopies courses, JOTAC and other courses mean that unless you have a generous employer, it can mean not attending camp for a number of years!

Agree with Dr Evil. would be much better if the files were available from ArmyNet, only got them myself from the discs that 31 Sigs produced. Still find it crazy that you have to justify requesting a cd rom and get your OC to sign the request slip, not everyone has 24hr access to the net!

Rant over, back to the grindstone.

MK1, such a joy.

Had no idea that the cd was no longer available. Terrible.

Again, a regular will be pleased with himself that he's saved 30p on the budget and more importantly, shafted the TA again.

I wonder how much the book set cost? Pennies I would have thought in the grand scheme of things...

I can honestly say I would have thrown in the towel if I hadn't been given a set of the books just before going to Iraq.
