Been away in "beautiful" Gagetown for a bit so was unable to reply..... just a quick update, the Troy fit without a problem on my C7, even got a chance to fiddle around with it on gunfighter a few weeks back. The sight wasn't cheap, but it's great quality, and should serve me well in A-Stan.

I'll throw in my 2 cents here as a fairly new private deploying to Afghanistan as a "grenadier" on TF-1-07. I would rather carry a more heavy and awkward weapon (ie C7 with M203 attached) simply for the speed of transitioning between the two weapons. Let's face the facts, yes I've seen the...

Couldn't agree more with the above statements, and it's definately what seems to be the prevailing mentality in the Company. After coming back from leave, the kit "show and tell" was quite interesting upstairs. Amazing as it seems, personnel now have rigs that work for them and their role in the...

Thanks alot Infidel, that's exactly what I was looking for, photo's with a Troy on a CF issue upper. I'm putting in my order at CQB services today, so thanks again for the assist!                                                                     -Greg

Hey Everyone, I've been reading up on anything I can get my hands on, searching on this site, and asking people for advice, and I just can't get a definitive answer. I am looking to pick up a METAL (as opposed to the issued plastic of course) BUIS for TF-1-07. By the way, the BUIS will be on a...

Give some serious thought to some German made footwear.... after all, they do make the best cars, and some of the finest weapons! Do yourself a favour and look at Meindl, Hanwag, or Lowa boots. I just purchased 2 sets of Meindl desert boots for Afghanistan, and they are by far the best made...

I was just at the last run through of CMTC, got back I believe the 22 of November or thereabouts. I'm not going to get into huge details here, (mostly because I've got to hit the sack before another day of course asessments) but it was basically 4 weeks of my life I will never get back. I got...

Nope, as usual the no hook private is the last to know ??? I'd come up for the low down if I knew who you were Para and where you worked! Drop me a PM if you wouldn't mind, as I know there are alot of us in the lines very curious about this gear, and we've been told very, very little as of...

Interesting points Para, thanks for the heads up re the expected delivery date. I can't comment on any of your other points as I'm still a newcomer to Charlie, but at least I have some idea of a time frame for the new LBV. I'll hold out on purchasing the chest rig I had in mind for now, but if...

I've heard alot of talk, but nothing concrete myself, but then again that's a troop on the bottom of the food chain speaking. Most NCO's in my platoon are saying I shouldn't hold my breath about a new tac-vest for the tour, or Eotech's and heavy barrel C8's for that matter. Looks like I'll have...

You may not believe me when I say this, but you have alot of free time on BMQ, if you are serious about the Army use your spare time to train. Use your weekends wisely, don't just drink your face off, hit the gym at the Mega (which is pretty nice actually), go running, go rucking. You will be...

I did the GG for the first time in around 8 years last week (man that trail has changed!) and did it in 48 minutes...... going again this week and I'm sure I can shave off at least a couple minutes this time around. Oh, and nowadays, they make you pay 5 bucks for the tram ride down........ ripoff!

I stumbled across this link while checking out AR15.com, and thought I'd post it up over here for the Army.ca folks to enjoy! http://www.ehowa.com/features/liberianmarksmanship.shtml I must say, the blue magazine picture is my favourite, closely followed by the guy wearing a bright orange life...

Absolutely....I went there with my platoon a month back during week 3 of basic training, and it was an amazing place. The only advice I can give is to set aside most of a day for the museum, there is ALOT to do and see, we were there for around 5 or 6 hours, and I felt like I needed an...

Well, I'm going to have to agree with the above post (more or less)....... It truly didn't seem to have a dedicated plot, furthermore it felt like one of those movies where you spend 2 hours watching it, and then you realize you can't even remember any of the character's names because none were...

Hey RCR, I'll be seeing you shortly in St Jean..... As for the shoes, it's my understanding that the indoor PT shoes will be for use in the gym, and from the PT videos I've seen they are doing alot of side to side, as well as pure running and push/sit up movements. Therefore a good cross...

I've read the book, I enjoyed it, but expected more to be honest. As others have mentioned he readily contadicts himself in the book when given the chance, but that being said I did enjoy the book. I will be heading to the movie however, as long as I can get a ticket on opening day. I'm hoping...

I was in almost the exact same situation. I'll tell you right away though that your application will not be powered through. Since you had laser eye surgery, at the medical the doctor will hear this from you, and then hand you a special form that you will have to have filled out by your...

Now THAT was a quality TV series  ;D Sergeant Saunders and his special tommy gun he carried that he never had to reload! I always found that hysterical in that show....no reloading, and I swear I never saw a single soldier bring the sights up, just blaze away from the hip! Still, I loved that...

I've read some harsh reviews from serving US soldiers and Marines on this show....... but that being said, I am thoroughly enjoying "Over There" on the History Channel. Very good acting (with an exception or two) and focuses on more than just straight combat. That was one of my big beefs with...
