EIB Station C1 (Shift from Known Point Practice)(Edit)

This is one of the more technical stations, so it lends itself to some practice. The same skill is used in both Shift from Known Point and Call for Fire.

M249 (SAW) Tool Use(Edit)

Because almost no one uses it to its fullest, this is an excerpt from the manual.

M4 Qualification Smartstrip(Edit)

The order of the targets (and their ranges) is a published, fixed standard. If you don't use the info, you're not using all means rightfully available to you. This can definitely help those who are struggling on the range.

• Particularly surprising engagements are marked with arrows.
• Exactly wide enough that you can laminate them with packing tape when you don't have lamination paper handy.
• 3 to a sheet - why waste paper?
• Created with LaTeX (source available).
• Caveat: The "left"/"right" clues change depending on your Fort's range.

Pre-Basic Training Task List Study(Edit)

Easy AKO Logins(Edit)

Logging into AKO is not as easy as other sites. There are a few reasons why, and I'll try to explain everything I know about it on my Logging in to AKO page.

DTS Tips(Edit)

The Army travel auth/voucher system---these tips were made for people who used it all day. Thankfully, this hasn't been me for a long time)

Clipboard.pm(Edit)

I made this a long time ago, but it's a darned handy set of scripts. In fact, I am annoyed whenever I'm at a machine that doesn't have clipedit and friends.
