Just a note about velcro, we used to have a web belt with velcro worked great except for noise. Now imagine your on a recce or other quiet required task and you need something in the pocket. I much prefer buttons. As to the draw string I remember a buddy who flipped a duece & 1/2 when we got to...

I have checked the NCC web site and there is not much information on the NPM here in Ottawa, I am looking for anything on why it was built, beyond the obvious tribute to the CF who have served? Who was behind it both politically and from the military community and what got the thing started?

Anyone out there remember backing up a water trailer or 5k gen trailer with a 5ton by the time you saw the trailer it was too late, dueces were almost as bad.

At the National ceremony in Ottawa, rained cats dogs shepp cows and horses. Plenty of people out and noticed lots of red in the audience. Great fly by by a local lad in a spitfire with a salute. Baguetteville got scrubbed or the cloud cover was just to low to see hear them. Of note the 30 Field...

Sure looks like they broke up the basic veh tech course into bits and pieces. Raise at each part I assume. I was a M/Cpl both recovery and MRT and beyond the trade training all else was just taught with no expectation of being more qualified then the next guy just better able to do your job. In...
