Spent 7 months in KAF, worked long hours (maybe Loachman will argue?!?) and didn't care much for the Boardwalk's amenities.  Yes, it was nice to take a break and go "window shop" from time to time (like once a month), but for what I actually spent - time and money wise -  I wouldn't have missed...

Je rammene le sujet sur la table... Je cherche une copie de la serie.  Je dois faire un projet poru un OPME (PEMPO) sur l'histoire militaire Canadienne et un option pour le sujet finale est une revue d'un film, serie tele ou jeux video sur l'histoire.  Tout le monde a quasiment choisi le film...

From personal experience, nope... try stopping for fuel at a small airfield with a gun on your hip and you'll get odd looks and questions that sometimes require creative answers (for OPSEC purposes...)

5-6 years ago, CP Gear made helmet bags that were designed by a Flight Engineer (or so the story goes).  I didn't get one at the time due to higher $ priorities, but would be interested in getting one now.  CP Gear discontinued that bag - arguably after they saturated the market - and no...

I'm a Griffy driver.  The topic seems to come back to side arms, so here's my experience.  We carry sidearms overseas on deployment.  No need for more details on this.  In Canada, we sometimes carry them on domestic operations but it is really the exception rather than the norm.  During...

Loach, that's gonna be so (un)sexy to see you in a tight-fitted 2 piece FS... lol I just hope they'll be better quality than those I've seen trialed at 403 Sqn, especially the one that worn out to look like a CADPAT fleece PJ. Cheers

Hi! Just relocating to Fredericton from Alberta.  While a full time CF member, I have been working casually as an EMS provider (EMR in Alberta) with a couple of ambulance services. I am not quite sure if there's even an "EMR" equivalency in the N-B licensure system and going to the Atlantic...

Good day all, This is probably the closest forum I thought to ask this question: Are there "good" ranges around Gagetown / Fredericton?  How far? and How convenient?  Maybe the base has it's own gun club? I'm just relocating and will need a new place to go punch paper. Cheers

Well, base clothing doesn't do medals anymore, the good WO Ulrich is apparently away for a while, I have no time to go listen (or be lectured?) by Mr Gunther Stahr at his residence... what are my options to get my medals mounted and to get miniatures (looking for quality work).

Thanks, do you remember how much you paid at P&D?  Although I have already made committments with Loachman, there are a few people I know from Edmonton that would like one.  They might also have the same problem as Milarm...  I might even drop by 1VP's kit shop; just to see. Really?  ;)

Beadwindow7: That's the story that the dude at Milarm told me too.  Although not a regular, I drop by Milarm from time to time and always enjoy listening to the "Int Briefs" provided by those guys ??? I suppose this is a "take some, leave some" situation.  I'll see if Loachdude can get me one...

Thanks all for the updates.  I just gor back from Wainwright and found that anyone had just about their own varianst of holsters... I believe I might have seen more Safarilands and Serpas than issued Bianchis.  No need to convince about not flying with the Bianchis, I have given it a try for...

Loachman: would I have known then what I know now, I would have.  Oh well.  I'll try what I currently have during EX MG and see if it is acceptable to work as a KAFasaurus; otherwise it will be shopping time. Cheers!!

Ok, read thru many posts and noticed that the Safariland holster (that and the Blackhawk...) is the best option for our trusty ol' BHP.  Now, I went to some of the most reputable stores in Edmonton and none carried the model required.  I am now asking you, folks, to help me find stores that...

Now that the SMEs have spoken...  Where are good places (both purchase $ and shipping $) to purchase the 6004?  Went to Milarm in Edmonton and was told that SLS holsters are harder to find than Pope sh** these days. I've already looked at Nicholls and their delivery time is 6+ weeks but the...
