PTS Fieldcraft Syllabus, Released May 2024

I really didn’t get that. We’ve moved to a system that has been working well for a long time. It’s not like you’ve magically come up with a bunch of new lessons. Quite the opposite really.

Attendee I spoke to said it was mostly a positive experience for those there.

I’m not aware there’s any change to lesson content - only expansion and development of the delivery of the manual. Seems odd to question that.

Which lesson is “unsafe”?

No idea, some meme someone has generated that we don’t understand.

If we want to do a blue course over many parade nights, how do we go about getting ration packs for the feeding in the field lesson?

Officially you can’t

So it is beg steal borrow - keep anything left over from a deployed ex.

But you now only need to demonstrate cooking, they don’t have to have a meal each.

The ORH and dragon fuel is widely available.

Can you not demand it through your parent station?
I thought it was charged at the daily messing rate?

Was going to say we can order from parent stations pay per ration pack

To demand at DMR you usually need to identify a need, some stations ask you to produce an AO.

You can however contact them and likely buy some at cost.

Well give this a go.

I appreciate you only need to demonstrate, not all do, but we’d rather do it properly!

That’s fair enough.

Keep in mind that if you’re not relying on them for feeding, you can get 2 and a bit meals out of one 24 hour pack (I say ‘and a bit’ because some of the breakfasts and desserts work better than others for practising meal prep).

We were thinking of trying to get 1 ORP per 3 cadets. So they all ‘get a go’, but we don’t over do it. I’m not the FTI, but he agreed that would be best.
