GO Your personal attack have not gone unnoticed. You are far from objective. The repetitive statements of where I have my head stuck only serve to display your vindictive self-serving attitude. I think you should re-think your reason for being here. Is it a) to share ideas and opinions with...

It appears as though you know where the terrorist are, and what has to be done. Here is your chance to leave a lasting legacy. Round'm up Just take that one "Barney Fife" bullet out of your shirt pocket and get on your way. (Or is it Buford T Justice, "Gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper...

CFL Point taken, My concern would be the soldier who bought the wrong kit, ie: an old C2 vest and then went to wal-mart and picked up some boots (just for example) The soldier does not have the money for the Gucci Kit but tries anyway.................... Or the young soldier with 5 kids and a...

GO, Does this mean that I will not receive an invite to your place for a beer  :crybaby: So you don't agree with me. I am not surprised. I was a jr nco at one point and I know the jr ranks mess is filled with people who have all the answers. (this can also be applied to the other two messes)...

Good point. Due dilligence, and live our lives the way we have in the past and will continue in the future Those that "hope" for a Terrorist attack, need to give it some thought. And yes I agree that the Toronto news media fed off that one. (after all it is the most important city in...

17th Your points are understood. I welcome debate on certain topics. Sometimes one must have thick skin  as not everyone has to or will agree. My comments were in no way alluding to Reserve vs. Regular force. They in no way questioned your intelligence. Since inflection and tone do not come...

There you go again lashing out (passive aggresion??) The QM does not have room to stock double issues. Hear me out....................... He/She must hold replacements for kit that represents a 24hr turnaround. If the soldier decides he does'nt "feel" like wearing the issue vest (or whatever)...

Haircuts ? .........esthetics not important to todays fighting soldiers (apparently) Product Technical sheets? Companies never doctor them up right? Long term test? Durability testing specs? perhaps you suffered a head injury falling off the turnip truck, it is making you lash out......... Now...

I see................... Have a couple of old toyota pickups shipped over, load up the back with Earl, Billy Bob, and Elmer. (much faster to travel) Your John Deere ball caps (keeps the sun out of your eyes) no hair cuts and six days facial growth. A a Carhartt barn jacket (warm on those cool...

Seems as though this thread has headed off in a different direction. Having said that; How long does anyone think that allowing soldiers to purchase their own kit will last? The soldiers protection is at stake here. If DND cannot confirm the individuals safety associated with substandard or non...

I'm not sure if reinforcing it that way would work. there are clearances that have to be maintained, (inside the turret) and anything used to hold it would have to be fairly substantial There is probably a solution to turret separation. The problem is, it would come at a cost in manufacturing...

I am not being dragged into this one. I get your point just fine. IF you show up on an Army site, post on an armoured board, and tell us what you have to do while crew commanding you are preaching to the choir. And on top of that, you think that if someone set you loose on an ATV they would...

Really?..........welcome to the world of crew commanding. No one ever said it was simple  ::) If you do it for a while it will become second nature to you "If you can't run with the big dawgs, stay under the porch"

I'll amend the story somewhat: It was the last day of a six week Fallex. The driver was up on his elbows in the hatch (probably watching the A10's) as the troop was in a static tactical position, and waiting. (seems we did a lot of that) He did have the driver's turret safety switch "on" It was...

You are aware that a Drill Cane and a Pace Stick are two different animals? If you tried to make a Drill Cane, and were trying to fashion it out of a (spent) 25mm rd, you are going to end up with a pretty hefty cane. It is too large. Normally a .50 cal is used, however, all you are after is a...
