This one just shows what some people know: "We should pull our troops out of Afghanistan and put them in Kandahar"

Just bring coffee, my AF friends say that gets them out of any dress problem  ;D (usually said when making army jokes  :()

Like that will happen. 

This thread reminds me of one of the case studies I had to do in a recruitment and selection course:  Do you hire the white male, who is the most qualified, or the minority who has no were near the skills for the job (in the description you are hiring under the federal system, and have no...

In the current theater, the 9mm has more of a psychological affect then a bayonet/or any other big f***ing knife.

It is all good in Acidiema, but when most peoples exposure to Islam is the radicals preaching death and destruction; how is they going to perceive the religion?

:rofl: Good one

One of the churches next to my hotel in Zurich was like that  ::)  Nothing better then having to listen to a bell chime for 10 freaking min at 9 am on a Saturday, after crawling into bed only hours earlier (quite drunk I should add)  ::).

to bad you can't hand out "Go Directly To Jail" cards

What city would that be?  From my time in Zurich, the church bells chimed on the hour every hour.  Longer at prayer times.

Yes the bayonet has been used, and has done well in its intended purpose.  With the sword being one the most used weapon throughout history, should I carry one of those too? by your logic yes  ::) it would prevent this from happening I have been looking for an excuse to post it. Edited...

My COC on 1-09 wanted blood type written on everything.

by handing them out do you mean to the other troops on the FOB to eat? I don't think they will make it out before getting eaten/melting. Edited to add: PETA supporters are more just as hard to find then Ossama, I never ran in to either in my time there lol ;D

With all the polish on them they are very fire retardant  ::)  Well I lone how the commanders in Canada are worried about FR equipment ::) I am really going to need it when I get a smoke grenade go off under my vehicle (simulated IED strike).  They could do a better job of getting more tan FR...

I found the only real problem I had with the issued pouch was how far it stuck out on the side of my leg.  I solved most of the problems (such as the pouch moving, straps loosening, chafing, etc) I had with it by moving the belt loop off my belt to my vest, and taping the excess strap so there...

The Oakley boots are the most comfortable boots I own; but are in hard shape after 6 months in the desert.
