How would people start companies?  How would people buy commercial property? How would people expand what they have? Interesting concept as well about saving up for something.  I was recently talking to someone about that very thing. Here is the situation: His wife like to save $1000 a month...

Protect the people like they did at the G20? Protect the people like they have done in Rwanda and Darfur? People get into debt problem because: 1) They don't teach money manage in school unlike math and biology.  We use money every day of our life. 2) If they falter the system will catch...

What we need is less government intervention and a freer market. There is to much government control already.  Don't think so?  Start your own company. Then if you still aren't convinced that our government has to much control, try and start a company that deals with alcohol, gambling...

The C7A2 already has the sling loop on it, so there is no need for another one like the Tango Down. The TAG CQC sling is extremely popular and we go through about 50+ a month.  It goes almost as fast as the Vickers Sling.  The CQC sling has been purchase by a number of CF Units, LE Tac Teams...

4% isn't major in my book, however it is an huge concern that troops deployed with these. OH NO Run away!! Some one is selling something!!  Must resist!!

Not ignored, just missed. This could be what is happening then with confusion on the technical terms.

Strange.  Does Public Works know this? Does the chain of command know this. Because they both keep approving everything. So either it is actually approved, in which case it's in the system properly or the chain of command recognizes that the issue gear is crap and are ignoring orders...

Units are not authorized to use O&M funds for buying kit. Which is different than kit (again Tactical Assault Gear) procured using the correct methods.

How does a brand get on that list or trialed?  Say something like Tactical Assault Gear which has been purchased by multiple CF units?

But you can't show us any proof of this :o But yet an approved item list exists for aftermarket rigs. Does DND really test all after market rigs on the approved list and do they monitor quality? Does DND really test all after market boots and monitor quality?  No real approved list for...

Taken from www.soldiersystems.net Quote: Very interesting. LGen A.B. Leslie, why do you think it is that units are spending O and M funds on local purchase of clothing and equipment? Could it be that the "world class" equipment the troops get issued if far from world class? Could it be...

Thanks Puckchaser Even though that came out, I've had a couple guys tell me their chain of command is dead set on the issue vest.

Where is the approved list of what guys can wear overseas?

Mike and mods, I know I'm not a paying sponsor at this time but I wanted to let guys know this info. We are now offering emergency hours.  With the situation in Hati we had a huge number of guys in today buying items they needed before they left. Email me at [email protected] if you...

There are a few who get the high end gear.  Below was one for Tactical Assault Gear  ;) http://www.admfincs.forces.gc.ca/apps/dc/contract-contrat-eng.asp?q=4&y=2008&id=id53488

Tender just came out again today however it still lists specific attachment systems. Here are all the ones available. http://milspecmonkey.com/customize/info/71-pals-connection-styles

Careful with the Suunto, as I know a few guys who had theirs $hit the bed after they changed the battery.

The M855 has a steel penetrator. It is widely available in the US as surplus, which causes concern for anyone using armor that will not stop it. DocGKR also uses a different test than NIJ.  Armour that survives one test might not survive the others. Dragon Skin is not as good as they...

I sent a couple of these plates down to the US to be independently tested.  Results are on Lightfighter, Armour Forum, in a thread by DocGKR about testing plates.
