Just because the Leo is old, does not mean it cannot be upgrade with the 120, new MP, electric turret drive!. NO tank can survive now a days. Tow out to 4000m, can cut through an tank. Get real people. OOOO the M1, OOOOO the Leo2, OOOOO Challenger 2, OOOO etc,etc. The LeoC2 is not a bad tank, it...

Petawawa is like anyother base. I have been to Bragg, that is the US Army's SF base. It is no different than Petawawa, Gagetown, etc. The only thing that is different is it has Delta in the back forty, 82 and SF out front. Then you have the SAS, I have been on tours with them. And being secret...

Pembroke Airport is only 5 mins away. Also Petawawa WAS TO BE THE SF base in the 70s. But Petawawa is also an open base. Also the C+C is in Ottawa. If its to far, C+C is lost. If not Petawawa maybe Trenton :evil: :tank:

The Anchorman The Armour School sent one Sgt down to get the course. He's posted to Halifax this May.

No George Just got stuck out on the DP3 Tp WO course.

Zipper Not 1 troop D Sqn. It was 1st Troop (Para), Recce Sqn 8CH then RCD . And yes There are a few of us around. And a few of us were the first and the last of 1st Troop (Para).

Yes it still does.

As the SME here for the jumper side. Anyone can get a jump course. You just have to be loaded through the Regt. There is NO Gerital course. There is NO cadet course. There were 2/3 cadets on the basic para course, when I was out on my JM course. It has always the Corp that didnot like us crewman...

Well as a father and have gone through this. I say, you have them you pay for them. I would like to see the money in a fund for post sec education and not day care. My wife and I were in the military together. And we had to pay. We payed a sitter and received a tax refund. That is the way to go...

Chimo I agree, 32ks in boots vis runners. I have done 5 Ironman Comps. And loved ever one.

John Nice mess, damn nicer than the old one. Might try to drop by if in town.

George I agree, not all Cougar CCs could crew a tank. And I have seen tank crews make fools of themselves in Cougars. I was there when the Dragoons came home. And some ccs were lost for one extra reason. They had to load. It was one extra thing the cc had to do. But for tactical driving. A good...

George As I said. The Brits are also getting rid of their tanks. At the RAC conferance in England. They are cutting their tank Regts down to 3 and going light or Recce. But I don't find the cut otu statement redundent. It was just an example, that skills and tactics can be refined at a low...

Rick We don't even have parts for the Coyotes/LAVs. But I agree with you. What the US does cannot reflect on us. The Brits are going light also. They also see tanks as a if needed resource. We don't have to loose are mounted knowledge. If the Corp just keeps the basics going. Look at the...

Fellas The Americans are not end all be all. I have been to Hodd, Knox, Bragg, and Campbell. Not all their tanks are runners. Or are they whole tanks. Last month they removed 4 guns from the Rocky Snow Patrol. Where did they go. IRAQ. They are worse off as we are. Soldiers are getting out...

Pte Joe Well , if you don't require kit. You could just turn it back in. You'll learn why you need it all in time. You just tell your girl friend to rethink it. And what the F@#$ did she think you would get. A tshirt, with I'm a soldier on it. So what is the waste of money? If you don't need...

The MGS is not a MBT. It is a DFV, they are two different vehs. We have to get away from the Cold War train of though. Yes a tracked light tank would have been better. But we now have the MGS. More we bitch, the more no doctine is written. It took us 3 yrs to finish the TTPs for Recce. It...

We shouldn't knock the Stryker Bges. I have been reading they are doing very well in Iraq. The only problem holding up the 105, is the auto loader. Theirs also only have a pop gun on. Damn we did tank tactics in Cougars for yrs.

Fellas Read Camochick sig?

MDg The trades that go right to Sgt after their 5s are concidered Professionals. This is to keep them. I have a friend that is a Dental  equipmant tech. He had to complete his 5s before the cash flowed. Also the promotion is very slow. Yes in the combat arms are slow also. But that is the...
