    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Yep, it's not the missile that needs maintenance, although it has to work at extreme temps. Everything that makes it go pfft, pop, whoosh is the problem. The hydraulics to erect the launcher need to work at -60, plus all the other bits. If they have a range of 1-2k, then they may be in...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Having worked with wooden rounds, the inspection requirements vary. They can include environmental data loggers that have to be checked weekly or monthly. These can log temperature, humidity, and/or vibration. That data collected depends on the weapon and the environment. Hot can mean...

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    Why? If lack of time to post, that's fine. Any other reason is trolling.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Wrong. Last update from BATUS Comd, reduced and pivoting to stuff like drone experimentation. https://medicinehatnews.com/news/local-news/2025/03/15/batus-to-change-with-times-but-staying-put/

    Still awaiting Enrollment - LogO

    Both. Use your life experience to help rein in youthful excess and poor judgement. Realize that an 18 year old can thrash their body a lot more and bounce back quickly compared to a 36 year old. You only get one body and your clock has been running twice as long.

    CAN-USA 2025 Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Those are actually green houses in Redcliff, just outside Medicine Hat. There are more in Medicine Hat and just outside along Highway 3 (Big Marble Farms if you ever see that on packaging). In Redcliff there is also a coop business, Redhat, that packages local veggies for around the country...

    Canada/US Border Integrity Thread

    In case this is a serious question: It's probably a good idea for the governor of the BoC to be aware of financial threats to Canada.

    Another NGWS Fail

    Holy shit that is a terribly written article. A rifle lets you see further? SA80 isn't great, but it was updated twice in the past 20 years. The SA80, "wasn't even made by others anymore.". What does that mean? Sorry D&B, I'm dumber for reading that article.

    Marathon Training as an Infantry Officer?

    There will be times you can and times you can't. There is often running in PT, usually as a group. When you are in garrison, normal day hours 7 to 430, maybe 8 if you are an officer looking after a platoon, you still have 10 to 16 hours. Do what you want during this time. Lots of people...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    I would hope, given experience in Ukraine, that we have between .5 and .75:1 spares to account for casualties. Having 1 spare battery (ops stock) is pretty much none. Have at least a regiment spare.

    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    He may be superficially know, but he is know as the person who headed the BoC during the recovery from the 07/08 financial crisis. So people have a favourable memory of him regardless of how much influence he had on the recovery. He is associated with good financial times.

    For aluminum, why don't we just leave be? It would be completely self inflicted pain by the US. If we wanted some form of retaliation why not put an export tax on all sales to the US that don't meet a certain price point that is designed to cause max pain to American importers? It's something...

    Brit Arty joining CAF Infantry

    Yep, I've seen Ammo Techs come over from WO2 to MWO and WO2 to MCpl. The SAE quals probably won't be worth much in infantry but the other might, depending on how long ago, and how long ago you got out of the Brits.

    Lived experience of myself and friends. Or is that too woke for you to consider? Also critical listening to news outlet reporting of government actions. Where do you get your local Alberta news?

    CAN-USA 2025 Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Some one should tell her that because, from the viewpoint of someone in her riding, she has an obligation to the Laurentian Albertan elite and the crack pots who got her elected as the leader of the party. She is decimating the provincial programs that support the most vulnerable and propping...
