    CSOR Training

    Capabilities of Armour as seen by the Inexperienced

    TCBF I second it. Just trying to get by until back out DSing the 6B. DSing HAHA. It's great, no assessments for me. It's just the mentoring thing now. As for Lehner, I think he should stick to what he knows. (                            ) all.  :evil: :tank:

    Is there any way to know what the INSIDE of a PMQ looks like BEFORE moving ??

    It will depend on where you go. My Q in Petawawa was great, repainted and a few upgrades. Petawawa always had carpet on the stairs, no rubber mat. Gagetown is the only place I've seen it. NB, it's to go along with everything else in this province. Crap.

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Fellas When I was at selection in 93 and called in 98 for a position. You had a chose what to wear. IE issued, or loc purch. So unless that has changed, what would you take. Remember they have a Loc Purch budget. You cannot compare regular units with JTF. They are tasked with different tasks...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Yes the plastic sucks, it is a point, that some old kit is better than the new. There are many of my soldiers that have them.  Some of my soldiers have the new crew gloves, but some don't. Some have old gumbies, and yng fellas don't. IF IT'S ISSUED IT'S OK. I still have the old blk gloves, new...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    TOM Yes we added the velcro. It was the design, ie Yoke, pouches, ie. I am saying is an US design. I have 3 old canteen carriers.  1 hook 2 velcro. One velcro is Cdn, NSN and all. The other rubber NSN issued with a big US on the side and a genade pouch that is rubber and velcro, with a US...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Mike Not the Blk and green gloves fella, I know reserves don't get the same kit, but. You as a history buff should know. They were Blk and wht liners, and green outer. As for the 64 Pat webbing, It was a US design. Check out the Y straps, butt pack and Genade pouches. They were issued to US...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Bruce If you were in the Military, you would have known about those green mittins. 1234 head. And how could we prevented him from wearing his gucci boots and gloves. If that is all he has with him. Maybe go inspect him at his house or we could have had all the course wear their barefeet, they...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Mike Yes, but the 64 Pat webbing, which was a US design did have ammo pouches. But we could not use them, remember FN -Cdn,  M14/M16- US. I had a set I sold, they were rubber covered, just like the genade pouch was. I still have the rest of the set. In Cornwalls it was used, for many yrs. It...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    VonG I have to say it. It's the Look cool thing.  If someone wants to pay 500-1000$ on a vest you may wear for 6 months OK. But I have better things to do with my money. I have pockets, extra pouches that will do the same thing. We both remember the old 54/64 Pat webbing, it was good then as...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    So Mike My uncle is wrong? Essex Scot 1941-46. then Guard,then Royal. So NATO Standard is wrong also? So most rifle men didn't fire their rifles, what did they use them for then? And now your getting double the rds. Semi Auto and Auto does not mean anything. All it means is your throwing away rds.

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Christ Fellas Soldiers have been complaining about kit since Hannibal. It's nothing new. Yes the old desert boots don't cut it. But the new one are much better. They are made by Corran and look like the blk ones, but tan. As for chest rigs remember, we buy kit that is suitable for our all round...
