There are a lot of issues that a commander of the level deals with that many of us could never fathom, but we all have ideas how to make his sleep easier. Here is mine.  He knows what needs to be accomplished, but is running into  problems. 1.  Dinosoars at all levels of the chain that should...

wrong thread I posted in, but it sure got me in kaka

just responding to librarian and her comments.

I think you missed the intent there with the recruiting ads comment.  Not a dig, but a comparison for what a website offers.  Take it as you will, but jumping to conclusions that I intended to piss people off is...come on.  This website offers viewers to comment on performance and capability of...

No, I just wanted to make a quick dig at the CF recruiting ads, as brutal as they are.  Thanks for the prompt reply, and it actually cleard things up a bit. Kiwi out

A great site indeed, with a lot of user input. And the fact that you are always trying to improve it is a great thing that Canadian Recruiting website should offer for making ads.  One thing I have noticed during my short time associated with this site is the most important. It is operator/...

Lock it, its going nowhere and getting personal.  Thanks for all who inputted, regardless of comments. There is no need to rag on people for offering comment, nobody knows everything.  Kiwi out

My apologies, I screwed up the quote thing.

Live fire training is paramount.  More rounds downrange in WX means less time applying drills in combat.  Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes.  With ref to perparing for the tour, no amount of live fire and time in the field prepares you, especially in a controlled enviroment like WX. ...

I understand about the training for higher employmnet and to know the job of your superiors.  And that works fine if the situation means that higher rank has been eliminated for one reason or another.  My ppoint is more relating to Canada, where we have plenty of rank, but ddispered around the...

Ladies and Dudes, after doing search through other threads have found little info on this topic. If a Cpl is doing a sect commanders job (as often happens), how long must he be doing said job before he gets paid for the appropriatte Sgts rank?  Or does he get the extra pay at all?  I know other...

Lance, you are more than welcom any time, so feel free to drop in whenever.  With ref to the MK 19, does anyone know where we stand on this wpn.  I may be wrong, but some higher up said that the grenades that didnt go off were considedered to be mines, and that opens a whole new bag of issues. ...

Dudes, lets prevent this from becoming a Afghanistan experiance thread .  I am as guilty as anyone in this.  If it is something that is LAV related or LAV trg related, lets hear it.  But Afghan is not  the be all and end all of LAV experiance. Roger. How do we enhance trg exercises to give...

Adapt and overcome is a cliche.  And for the combat arms to have spent the last 50-60 years adapting and overcoming simply highlights the fact that the chain of command has not implemented the required lessons learnt form the adapting and overcoming.  Every unit should be so prepared for the...

Its not that the skills are common to the INF only, cause as you stated they are not.  But they have been adapted by the infantry to suit the infantry.

Warchild (Red Devils HUA) has it perfectly right.  The army is going through a period of transformation, but not in all areas.  We need to get operators with combat experiance in LAV III turret to sit and talk with the soldiers responsible for writing lesson plans and such. The same is for all...

Right, before Infidel-6 starts a war about C6 drills (one weapon one drill)  I have another question.  The 3 round burst that is so emphasized in training.  Where did that idea devlop and why?  LAVs in Afghanistan do not abide by it, and i personally had no proble, and nor did my CO if I pumped...

I think you bring up one of the most important points here.  And that is the compisition of the combat team.  Given the nature of the war we are fighting (and I have actually heard it called the harder side of peacekeeping), and the ever developing enemy, the requirements at the company level...
