    Searching for a range in the London area

    Good day all. I am posted to London this summer so I am now in search of a good/friendly range to join. I am not really interested in competitions or anything, but just a good place to go and plink away. I have done some searching but I am more interested in hearing what any of you have to...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Oddly enough there was a guy at the range near Trenton yesterday administering this test. I asked him about it, and was told that all Ontario ranges have to give this test before they are allowed to grant an ATT for the range. The cost was $20.00 and the tester provided his weapons and ammo for...

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    Not all National recovery is contracted out, in fact I would wager that most of the areas are not. There can be times when we required the assistance of civilian companies, but by in large we are self dependant. Hopefully with the roll out of the Fifth wheel towing recovery system this will give...

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    MilEME09, if you have access or knows someone that has access to the CID, look up the ERC project and call the PD or D/PD of that project. I am sure that one of these fine folks  :nod: will be able to fill you in on the project and where it stands at the moment. But, as a bit of a spoiler the...

    'It's time to consolidate NDHQ' & 'DND to take-over Nortel Campus' (Merged threads)

    DLR still occupies a big chunk of the main floor at LSTL. In addition there are still some DLR folks at Hotel de Ville waiting for someone to give the pull pole order, then they will join the rest of us in LSTL.

    'It's time to consolidate NDHQ' & 'DND to take-over Nortel Campus' (Merged threads)

    I hear that the Kingston penitentiary is available. Sure it might be a bit of a fixer upper but it's secure, close to the water with a great view.  :)

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    Jim, the DLR 6 team does indeed have an MSE OP(CWO) and also 2 Maintainers (one Maj, one MrGnr) teamed up with 6 LOG Officers and one Infantry WO.  When the time comes the equipment will be tested/trialed by Army troops to ensure their feedback is recorded and heeded. Dangerboy, yes they do...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    “Field position” has nothing to do with it, plus you have to look at the bigger picture. Troops wandering around Pet, Edmonton or Valcartier certainly are not going to know everyone, and they are in field positions. Unless of course, because they are not physically in the field they are...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    So, when I am walking in downtown Ottawa I should immediately recognize every military person that I come across from a distance? Personally, I like the idea of knowing that a salute is required before I am one step away from the person whom I should be saluting.
