Sorry for the continued hijack. What is the 'life cycle' on the underwear green smelly? I've had mine for 14 months now (reservist) and they STINK doesn't matter how you wash em. Talking to others in the unit, its like that for them too (so its not just me;)) Also life cycle on the socks...

Hi, I was checking out the site the other day, and there are a couple things I am interested in buying (when I get more money ::)) Anyways, I've got one small problem with the site, the prices are in USD, this is a Canadian company, site, etc. I realize right now that CAD and USD are pretty...

Don't go out of your way to hold, If someone wants to buy, sell. I don't want this forsure, I would like to see the quality, etc and what it looks like, if it is too far off from what the '64 looks like then I doubt if I could get it. cheers -J

I don't suppose you have any photos? I am interested, however, I have no spare money till at least 1st or 2nd of April.

link is dead.

From what I've heard/read the M9 that the US army is currently using is being/close to being phased out, in order to bring back the .45 caliber. This is mainly because troops are complaining about 9mm not being strong enough, either to punch through armor, or even to bring down an unarmored...

What's with the giant "Hoo-ah!" at the 'commercial' break? I thought we (CF) didn't do that. Like at a mini brief held by a warrant during Bison Warrior '07 the warrant said "everyone understand?" and the two Americans who were staying with us in the barracks, let out a "Hoo-ah!" and everyone...

Canada and the United States were British colonies. The US decided to have a revolt (when I say the US, I mean one third of its population) and split off from Britain. Canada being the nice guys we are ;) decided to stay British. A group of rich and powerful men, commonly called the "war...

I hope this is the way for us. I got to try out the USarmy's suede tan boot, (I'm not too sure if it was a desert boot, or just the regular tan boot, or even if there is a difference. The owner of the boots had just gotten back from Iraq a few months prior, they came down for Bison Warrior, or...

To be clear, this is the boot that looks exactly like the CWWB?

I'm wondering what those elastic rope things are for. Also do you think you could give some more photos of the BOAR.

Whoops, Sorry 'boot that, didn't mean to steal your thunder ;)

As a reservist, you have many options, you can do all your courses during the summer. You may be able to do a weekend course or two *with your unit (or those in surrounding areas)* or, if you have nothing to do during the year, or can take time off during the year, you can get yourself into a...

I like the guys you are constantly around, also the humor is a big part of myself enjoying the military, and Infantry especially. C7A1 would be my weapon of choice, having touched only the C9, C6, and C7 (CarlG, 'nades, and M72 not counting)

Awesome answers everyone, thank you, cleared it up perfectly. I did mean goggles like those, and I used ski goggles for lack of a better term. Do the different color lenses make a difference? edit: Wouldn't the whole "you can wear anything you want as long as it meets the basic standards and...

Hey all, did a search but I can't find anything on it. What is the current eyewear policy (or whatever guys are wearing) in Afghanistan. What are guys wearing? I see things on the news (mostly Americans) wearing ski goggles. Others wearing Oakleys, and more wearing issued ballistic eyewear. I...

In my two courses so far, BMQ the old guy was early late twenties early thirties I believe, Top Candidate, SQ old guy was 45+ and easily one of the worst on the course, not for lack of effort however, in the words of my fireteam partner "[he]'s old and gets hurt every other day, but he will make...

That is awesome. High Five.

Best thing I've had said to me/to unit: On BFT, family bikes by, father slows down: "Thank you for doing what you do." Annoying thing: Marching to Regimental church (a few blocks away from armouries), kids biking by start humming Imperial March Uninformed thing: "How many times have you been...

Fresh off part of a Winter Warfare course held in Sunny Dunny, I can tell you that the Tac Vests are even more useless than normal past -20C not only were they coated in frost, about 90% of the time the zipper on the vest wouldn't go up. The only way to get that to go, was to get buddy, to come...
