If you guys can tell me when the first female NCO got her two stripes I will put it up. Must be 1995 or thereabouts ?
i am sure I saw the red FCA tab earlier than that - but cant remember the dates.
Ref SINCGARS it did go out to Field Sigs and people like that
Not too bothered about the woolly jumper pocket.
What year did we start the proper care of hearing and peltors was that 96"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

Originally posted by Bravo20 View PostWell there were two women on my Pots course in 1994 and we were all promoted that November. Can anyone do better than 1994?
The first female officer would have commenced her Officer Cse in 1995 to be commissioned in 1996, she was E.Comd, so would to have by minimum be part of Bravo's Cse, if not earlier.
Woolley Pulley is still in use, associated with SD, but not on the L3.
The FCA tab was issued in mass with new SD in 1 S.Comd in 1994, ahead of the Military Skills competition, which had a D&D event.
