    Weapons prohibition

    OK all, I'm in my office and have my Hand book available.  As I said previously if the OP wants to get a detailed answer for his particular case he can fire me a PM and I will do my best to give him ACCURATE information from the recruiting system. In general here's what the BROAD policy is...

    Weapons prohibition

    I've been following this discussion since its beginning. I don't have my recruiters handbook with me a the moment and my new computer hasn't got the ecopy on it yet, so I will do a detailed search once I'm back at my desk tomorrow.  What I say right now is that the weapons ban is a part of a...

    Scary black guns for legal sale.

    Yes, it is the Motiuk product. I like it.  With the Trigger group I have in it from Magpul, it's a really tight fit.  I do have to do a bit of polishing with Jewlers rouge to smooth things out a bit because as a friend noted it's a bit gritty.

    Scary black guns for legal sale.

    Or with assistance from a friend you can assemble your own.I won't say build because that implies a level of skill tha I don't have. By the way, Navy shooter I still have your bottles.

    Birth Certificates and Citizenship (Merged)

    I just checked my recruiters handbook. Brihard is correct, there is no policy that says that the birth cert "Must be in english/french or translated."  I've had applicants bring in birth certificates from Yugoslavia, U.S.S.R. (Ukraine), one from South Korea, China and a couple of other...

    Media Bias [Merged]

    Granted that CNews isn't the most unbiased reporting and that is poll is very, VERY, unscientific/subjective I still find it reassuring: Screen cap attached because I alreadyvoted and it wouldn't let me see the results a second time.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    The NDP are at it again "NDP Heath critic tables bill for national sodium strategy" http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/ndp-health-critic-tables-bill-for-national-sodium-strategy-1.1025394  :facepalm: Are there not more serious things that should be occupying the time of government.  More proof that...

    Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE

    Yeah, but Cupper we brought that with us in a sea can because it was part of the BTS that we had to have a tick mark for.  Easy way for the majority of soldiers to get the Winter Indoc check mark. Tell them we're going to Sunny Pleasent Virginia then crack open the Sea can and presto instant...

    Replacing the pack system?

    TT: You know how I feel about that train wreck of a Ruck we're issued now and why.  That's why I use either my 64 pattern or the one that Brian and I worked on about 6 years ago. One of the things about the Cloth the Soldier kit in general is who SOME stress SOME of the people that were used...

    M113 Fire Support?

    There were two variants built as engineering and test platforms. I can't remember how many of each type were built but one had the same turret that the Coyote/LAV III family have. The second had a modified FOX armoured car turret. It looked very much like the 30 or so FV 432's that the British...

    Will Do.  Here are some Pics that show a somewhat different perspective of the weather than T6 has given everyone.  Just so people understand that it was not "A SOUTHERN VACTION IN THE SUN". Well not all the time anyway.

    Hey Cupper I had actually planned on it, but things when sideways and our two days personal time at the end sorta got turned into a slow motion train wreck.  Painful to watch, impossible to escape and strangely compelling all at once.

    Leopard C1 Questions

    Maj Del is an old family friend of my Dad and Mom.  When he retired from the Reg Force, Dad sorta, kinda dragged/blackmailed him into joining the Reserves here in NS.  At one point he was the SLOO / DCO of 33 Svc Bn in Halifax.  He used to drive an old Scoda, and take in on Ex as his sudo urban...

    Leopard C1 Questions

    I can answer two of your questions, and given a bit of time find the pictures of the arrival in Halifax of the First C1's.  The first C1's arrived at Autoport Halifax, located in eastern Passage on the Dartmouth side of the Harbour in early Late June/Early July 1978.  Maj Delvelano took his son...

    T6 You forgot the pictures that show the 4 1/2 to 5 inches of snow that we received, as well as the super balmy day when it hit about 23c (72f) and we built sand castles while we waited for more sand bags to arrive at BAAF.  Mind you once the Ex Started, I think that the most that Tank Troll...

    Syria Superthread [merged]

    Many, many years ago, when my father returned from a year long stint with UNTSO/UNDOF he said he had a solution to the problems in the Mideast.  Close the place off (Nod to you Edward) then give everyone, man woman or child a baseball bat and let them go at it.  Once all the noise stops take a...
