    OOOO Goodie for them. We as Canadians have never really, been North Americans. We are Canadians, total opposites of any other country in North or South America. 90% of countries in N/S America have straight US kit. I was tasked with the WESS task. The Americans that cameup, spoke that we as...

    Base Borden Armoured Corps Museum Hit by Budget Cuts

    George All I knew about it was the money to redo the hangers. I don't get much from the Asso., even though I'm a member for many many yrs. Darn I hardly get anything from the RCD one. But the Airborne one is on the ball.

    Axeman No, it is a common weapon. The Armour Corp is the overall SME for the 25MM. But the Inf have it on the LAV, so we have a Inf Sgt as a rep. The Arty is a minor user also.

    Base Borden Armoured Corps Museum Hit by Budget Cuts

    George Can you send me some names. I'll hit the Comt up on Monday. We are putting together the School/RCAC History walls and a Big WALL of REMEMBERANCE. I'll also bring it up to the RCD Asso. Someone around Borden, should be able to protect them. Even an open air covering, for each, would help.

    Or take the LAVIII and all its weapons away from the Inf - 011 will do it and run their drills while we concentrate on the ground.\\That is what most of us hope. By the way, one of the 25 MM SMEs is Inf. On Monday I'll have a talk with him or Lance and get some more info. Remember though, if do...

    Fellas As a safety dude at the school. Most lasers you buy are classed for eye safety. The Leo/Coyote/LAV laser is after 3 ft or meters, when ever the gunnery guys decide. Is eye safe. As stated only the low freq lasers used in light shows, are dangerous. They have a lower freq are a wider...

    Canadian Commander In Iraq

    PBI I had read the story a few months ago. As for cheap. During the 80s, there were posting to Britain. For all ranks. Now the only postings are for Majs and above. And the only posting I know of is the one our CIs going to. The rest are to the US, officers only also. I have been snooping and...

    Kevin/Love We also have the two drills. If it has a bipod,you do Inf drills. If it doesn't you do Armour drills. The Armour had the C6 before the Inf . They still had the C5 when we had it. When we first had the LEOs, we were the SMEs for the C6. Then when the Inf received theirs. Due to it was...

    AD/NDs came up only in the 90s. I mean hard. Before, no one really cared. My father told me of more ADs happening in the Army wayback when. It was the different train of though. IT's a AD or ND. A AD is just that Accidental . A ND is negligent. We are all human, things happen. Remember the old...

    Baret For My Dad / Corporal Wilmer Sanders

    Tims   You maybe able to get one from the Sher Hussars.  Micheal, please Armour units are Regts not Btls. Even if a Regt was a Inf Btl it was converted to Regt. Some history for you. The Sher FR were part of the 4th Canadian Armour Div, 4th then 3rd Army Tank Bde, and were the 27 th Armour Regt.

The carriage is listed as the part that has the front two wheels and seats, the cannon is on the gun cradle. And others has the whole front and rear as the carriage. It seemed to depend on the yr...
