In regards to the a replacement for a C9/M249 what are your opinions on the MG36? From what I've seen (admittedly very little) it seems like an amazing weapons system, and other than not being made by Colt or Diemaco and us probably having to switch to the "G" series of weapons (G36A2, G36C...

The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks Required reading for those wishing too survive.

I found this very confusing at first as well, but basically there are two rank structures in the CF: the NCM and NCO: Private, Corporal, Master Corporal, Sergeant, Warrant Officer, Master Warrant Officer, and Chief Warrant Officer. and the Commissioned: Officer Cadet (not commissioned, basically...

I was under the impression you wanted to keep all the heavy items high and tight to your back. This has been told to me by many sect commanders and in an awesome book, SAS Survival Handbook by John 'Lofty' Wiseman.

I, nor anyone I know, has ever had a problem with toilet paper, I'm sure it was an accident. Good luck at BMQ, as soon as you're gone you will miss it.

For those who are wondering: To my knowledge, reservists do not do the swim test on BMQ or SQ, I know you have to do it on your BIQ however; other trades courses might require you to as well. Also, on my course, a fail in the swim test meant RTU.

About 80% of the year I live in a state of perpetual winter;) and having tried both mattresses, the Betty is much nicer in the winter (and probably on the beach), and as I do not use a air mattress in the summer (unless I am sleeping on a floor, or am static for a few days) the Betty is the...

Name: Bender Why: Named after Bender from Futurama, a kleptomaniac robot. My cat steals anything small and shiny, I keep my keys in a drawer now.

Hey everyone, did a search, and besides many many people praising the Black Betty, nothing on how to fold/roll this thing. Anyways I am going on a course soon and am taking my Black Betty ($30 at a surplus store), I was wondering how does one fold/roll this thing so it can be stored on ruck? I...

I was going to Jamaica via Air Canada to Toronto, then Air Jamaica from there. Air Canada delayed me from my 6 am flight (meaning I was at the airport at 4), a total of 4 times. Each time saying the plane had engine problems. My step-dad, who was a pilot for 30 years, and a general mechanic...

So I do use the Prospector paste? The Sergeant at Stores specifically told me I should use Kiwi on the GP's, and when I asked if I was supposed to use Prospector like the WWB, he gave me the biggest "no" ever. EDIT: followed by "[you] are the reason I drink"

As told by Supply Tech: "You use the regular kiwi polish on your GP's,"

A MCpl who is very found of that saying (with a few differences) got quite 'unhappy' when I misquoted him as saying "shinier than a nickel in a seagull's a$$ doing a powerdive," Speaking of funny RSMs, on course we had one that would routinely pretend to be a cowboy, he'd wait until everyone was...

Does this mean what I think it means? Or would this just get me in a load of shit?

Sergeant (on inspection): Why are you laughing? Do you think I am funny? Stupid troopaloop: Yes Sergeant.

Well, just the other day in good 'ole Saskatchewan;) Managed to get a bottle (1.14l) of CC for the low low price of 35+tax and enviro, so it looks like you got an OK deal. As for those mixes, have never seen them unless they were DIYers.

Only fifteen hours and $1000 away.
