They've put in an outdoor fountain here.
A real fountain. It spurts water, and I suppose it's meant to be " decorative " or " soothing "
I often think of sabotaging the fountain, but I'd be the first person suspected.
We cant get guntape, but the fountain works really really well.
For anyone...
Hiya, been a while since I've checked in. Roughly at the halfway mark on this one and there are a few things that could be added. In no particular order.
- Dry Fire shirts, they're the combat sleeved shirt based on a wicking design t-shirt system. Way more comfortable to wear under all the...
Deja Vu from another thread, so I wont go on to much of a rant here. maybe
To those who think folks will ' hop ' on a convoy in order to earn an award; not realistic. This isnt the old days where we took our friends from other trades out on day trips to view the lovely countriside. We all did...
The new bayonet is fine, much better then the old one.
But as Jay says, things get tight in there. Imagine wearing about 100lbs of gear, then hunching through Yoda's door. Now add several inches of 'pointy' to get bunged on something. We were told to practice 'muzzle contacts' by the Americans...
'Ergo', great word
Put the story into the context that the Canadians area particularly good at killing Taliban, and rest easy at night. I think their ( the interviewed timmies ) view is a bit skewed towards Canadians after several of the recent battles. Every nation has their own capabilities...
We RIP'd with them, they supported us in everything we needed. In email's with some of them during and after our tour they all expressed that they were impressed and thankful for Canadian contribution.
The benifit to the scope was the ability to hard assess potential targets with clarity. Prior to a TIC in Panjawi one of my C-9 gunners was scoping a spot for about 20s when I asked him what he saw
'dude with pkm, 200m'.............game on
although the bulk of our fighting was very close, your...
The C-9 rail systems 'should' now be issued once you get there. If not, hit up some Americans, they will fix you up. The guys we RIP'd with actually set us up with that gear. Get a few of their patrol ammo holders as well. Dont ditch the scope off the C-9, my boys needed it all the time.
stay safe
As for the bomb sizes, they are EXACTLY the right sizes. Insurgent groups range in many different sizes, and there are many ways to 'deal' with them. Fixed wing usage is a more difficult option because we were often very close to the insurgents. Proportionallity is a fluid concept when timmie is...
The 'Tank Overhaul' show on History channel was pretty informative about pulling some of these tanks out of odd spots. Great stories behind the vehicles.
