Mountie.. The idea of being organized into Brigades is to have a basis for mobilization. We can (and do) still train more as Battle Groups. As for your suggestion for distributing the BGs around the country, I would suggest 1 BG in each of LFWA, LFCA and SQFT and 3 or 4 in Atlantic Canada..sound...

Hey Leo..remember this one.. Strathcona priority of work in a harbour: Protection, Coffee, Cam, Coffee, Protection ,Coffee, Replenish Coffee, etc..

Greetings Folks.. I survived the RCAC conference..but that's another story. Someone mentioned something about the Iltis that are being scaped up for the transitioning units getting TCCCS..Not! The TCCCS equipment that was in the Iltis will go into MILCOTS. The TCCCS equipment that was in the...

Greetings All.. I just took a look at the latest "Maple Leaf mag". There is a picture of buddy doin some C-6 shootin from a G-Wagen C and R version. I seem to remember us always telling our soldiers to "keep low" in the hatch". We did it in Cougars, in Lynxs and even in the old jeeps. By the...

Lance.. Thanks, but as it turns out, it was my own fault. I missed opening an attachment of an attachment (of an attachment)of an e-mail. I got all the info now. As to my RSM filling me in..he did, but the ROR distributes Admin Instructions from outside, not the RSM.

Greetings.. Is anyone on this list going to the RCAC conference is Victoria next week? My RSM can't go and I got the nod. Don't even know what the dress for the meet n greet is. ????

2FtOnion.. The Canadian Parachute Centre does indeed contract out some flying to civilian operators. A skydiving aircraft operator from North Carolina supplies the CPC with aircraft quite regularly. I know because we deal with the same people and have jumped from the same aircraft in my after...

CFL.. Remember, the "Stryker" is actually a family of vehicles vice one type of vehicle. They have deployed some of the APC variant (basically a turretless LAV III).

Lance.. 12 Alpha doesn't drink beer. He drinks Bud.

Sig Op.. Now I think I know what you mean. I've seen something like that around. If they fit in acargo box they could probably work, but a CP really does need room to move. If a CP box was available that required the removal of the cargo box portion that would defeat the purpose of my...

Just a Sig Op.. LCTS? You have to realize that everyone in the army doesn't neccessarily know everyone elses terms. Are you talking about the normal CP box that fits on an LSVW? The one that was originally on the 5/4s? If so, it is designed to fit on the full frame of a vehicle, not in the cargo...

Try Lee Valley Tools. They have something called a "box tool" that is kinda neat. I have one that I carry in the car trunk, or camping or whatever. Small hatchet head, claw and hammer head. Designed for working in warehouses. Real cheap so if you lose it who cares. About $9.00

GDawg.. I proposed this as an alternative to SMP CPs for Reserve units. They would be used mostly in civilian areas where there won't be much "off roadin" anway. Recce Sqns need CPs now. Not 5 years from now (or whenever) when someone buys a replacement for the current LSVW CPs. No, MILCOTS are...

G'day folks.. I saw a couple of brand new MILCOTS Line Trucks going into Auto Haulaway in Moncton last night and it got me to thinkin'.. Since this vehicle is going to be the main light duty admin type truck for Reserve units, why not make the best of it. Back when Militia black hats were all...

Hey, speaking of Recce Sqn cooks, remember the guy who was promoted Mcpl on Fall Ex in 83 and demoted right after the tank train back. I believe that was the last "wet" train. Doog

Me again.. I have not been briefed up on the G-Wagon so I don't know the whole story. Are there a non-armoured version and an armoured version of the C and R truck? I just took it for granted that the C an Rs were all armoured. Now that I think about it, your probably right about the CC...

GW and all.. I tryed to reply to this item sooner but I must have pushed the wrong button. I believe the g-wagens used by Recce units should be the armoured version just so that they train on what they will deploy in. I don't know if the roof and superstructure come off of the...

Greetings J.Gayson.. The C and R version of the G-Wagen will not have removed windows, doors, superstructure etc. The vehicle is hardened/protected and has bullet resistant glsss. From what I have been told by the guys at the School, you can't even roll down the windows. There is a cuploa in the...

Yo Leo.. It was British army. They don't have MCpls. A Cpl is a command rank.

LIGHT/MEDIUM/HEAVY.. Oh, do we need more than just light? Gee I thought that we were only preparing for constabulary roles. Now that we don't have a DFS Vehicle, that's what we is. Wiesel looks good. Anyone have any buds in Parliament? Tanks gone, Cougars gone, MGS junk.. But me not bitter. Doog
