I came from a university family, where everyone had and was expected to go.  However, I went to university for a year and a half and ended up quiting, joined the infantry as a Pte., made it to Sgt, then applied for UTPNCM and now I am an infantry officer. Through my experience I learned a great...

Army Vern, are they or have they made any advancement in the Combat Glasses department? The current issued one's I see the troops wearing, well lets just say.........

Keep the thinking  of the two systems in simple terms, of course they have their pros an cons. WRT armour, the .50 cal can chew through light armour, however by the time they make their first hit at range, that enemy armour will most likely engage it with its superior armaments.  And if you...

CFL, NDHQ had the HMG on the way out the door (this is why some people think it’s gone. They then had it pointed out to them that the HMG was in service with the units tasked in Afghanistan, and removing it removed a capability they could not replace yet. So the HMG got a stay of execution...

In DLR’s eyes the HMG is gone, they’re just waiting for the CASW so they won’t leave the light uits hanging. But for now, it is still in service and technically has never been retired, except from those who did not know better and started rumours on assumption.  It was just re-added to the...

Oops, yes I meant the one on the left.

Can anyone ID the vest on the left of the pic.  Looks Danish. http://www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca/netpub/server.np?find&catalog=photos&template=detail_e.np&field=itemid&op=matches&value=10748&site=combatcamera

Judging on your use of the term/phrase " the regiment" tells me you have little experience in the CF.  To those of us who knew of and served in the Canaadian Airborne Regiment, the term "the regiment" originated from that and not CSOR.  My advice to you, is start calling it by its intended...

Excellent job on the video!

I was a Sgt in the PPCLI and put in for the UTPNCM program as an officer in my trade.  Previous to that, I had my year long french course and currently have my degree.  I have no expectations of reaching a high rank (if you consider a Major high), nonetheless I am one of those guys who tries no...

I still question if he is alive. From video to audio tapes.  Anyone can make an audio tape and say it is Bin Laden who is speaking.  If Bin Laden is free to make audio tapes why not use video?  If he sends out an audio tape and the US declares it is him on the tape, then why not use video if...

I've done a few "humps" and have come to realize, the waist belt, "it's a good thing".  It takes the weight off the shoulders and places it onto the hips, preventing slouching and chafing of the shoulders.  This isn't the answer for everyone. Most (not all) infantry guys don't use it for...

Which they should be, however I have identified myself as a regular force soldier who would be using the device in a military context.  I also supplied them with a CF Post office address. I have a seller who is willing to sell me one, but I have told military.com that if they can, I will buy...

I went onto a site in the US, from supply captain: http://www.supplycaptain.com/store/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=8 and says the restrictions on the page.  I also ordered one, not knowing from military.com...

I'm looking for any information on purchasing an ACR MS-2000(M) military strobe. There is an IR restriction on purchasing outside the US, where they are easily obtained. Thus, does anyone know where I could purchase one in Canada?

I have found some differences between Peltor's SoundTrap and ComTac, WRT electronics. The owner's of www.theshootingedge.com, who are both ex-military, advised me that the ST gives you about 19 dB protection, where the CT gives you 24db protection. The ST is about 6 milliseconds...

For the next three ROTO's to Afghanistan is is scheduled to be 1 PPCLI, starting in JAN 06, 1 RCR then 2 RCR.

Don't you think you came off a little too strong as a represenative of the CF.  Silverbach was only asking for opinions, not lectures.  

I wanted to know from experienced people (not any "In my opinion"), which model they think is better and why. I am looking at purchasing either the Peltor 'ComTac', or the Sordin 'Supreme Pro'. What, in your opinion would be the better purchase?
