The Hull is not an AVGP Cougar. It is an AVGP Grizzly. AMU is fixed on the Hull, the Cougar has it on the (removed) Turret. There is a commander's Hatch behind the driver; on the Cougar it does not exist. I miss the L23A1s...  :'(

I have known several millionaires, most of whom have worked harder, smarter and longer than alot of people making 32K. (The ones that don't work harder and smarter anymore are the ones who hired the others who worked harder and smarter). Using your logic and values "To me, someone making  12...

An excellent example. I am assuming this Unit is not in Toronto, what is the personell cap for the Unit? Is it allowed to go higher than 50% of its allotted wartime establishment? Are most (80%) of the 225 - 240 Soldiers qualified in their positions? What is the demographics of the Unit in...

I think the problem is not small units, but personnel. We need more personnel. That 300-500 man size REGIMENTS will shrink due to simple math: We are not gaining (and retaining) faster than we are loosing people. (at least in Toronto). We need to attract people and retain them for better ROI...

As a long time lurker and someone who has not posted for a dog's age, let me write on what I know. Metro Toronto is the biggest Metropolis in Canada in terms of population.  The Downtown Armouries are within walking distance of several Resident Neighborhoods and High Rises. and several Subway...

Zarathustra, Can you post the URL where you are placing this post? I too want to see the frenzy. A_majoor, That was a very informative link. The article was followed by more spirited discussion. (I especially liked the Capitalist Myth of a Self Made Man - arguing that it is not a myth but a...

For those of you that are interested: Www.steelbeasts.com is going to recreate First Clash using SteelBeasts Pro PE. Obviously with only an 8 Player limit, Various Teams for 1Gd's Tank Div and 4th CMBG are needed to play side by side. It is currently under development and testing, But we hope...

Will this course help us in resisting the Pointed Queries of our wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/police :-X as well as keep our mouths shut when captured?

Try this. I hope our C-6 or next GPMG can do this: http://www.fugly.com/media/view.php?cat=MOVIES&id=4444

My Unit's Experience in Beechburg was an eye opener. I did not know how fun Recce could be. 3RTR was away from Brigade, our unit was far away from 3RTR and I was (relatively farther away than when I was Armour) far away from SHQ. The feeling of independance was exhilarating. (but we still want a...

The Merkavav 3/4 is a near perfect tank IMHO. As for an Infantry carrier, just get some with the Turrets removed to create more space and place either a Bradley Turret or one or two RWMount. This will help with the commonality of parts and the overall protection of the passengers. Plus get whole...

http://www.army.dnd.ca/GGHG/Ops&Trg.htm Recce41, Your reference of Co-Training with current Recce Regts are valid. I fact ceratin members of my unit are waiting to Tag on to their excercises. The problem, the QYRangs have only a certain amount of equipment(IE: Vehicles) and draw alot of them...

No. One has to be svelt and slim to fit in the turret. Plus with all the talk of going recce last year, we have made the efforts to be leaner and meaner (because we have to bluff our way now, instaed of blasting them to Arrallu!). We are caged in the same building with Brigade and LFCA...

12A, as of October 7, 2004; we are no longer using the Cougars as a transition platform to recce. My CO just returned from the Armour Corps Conference and told us that we are getting 16 Iltis from warstock to train with. I expect to be betrayed again so I am not even trusting them to deliver...

Sumopak, Who were your instructors at your QL2/QL3 course? GF
