    Anyone know where to get combat boots in Ottawa?

    Hi, Go to Ottawa Safety!  The guy who works there is super friendly, very patient, and honest.  He really knows boots. When my Rocky SV2's fell apart, they were under warranty and he replaced them right away.  He also gave my friend some free inserts. I wouldn't go anywhere else! -Steve

    22 Jul 11: Explosion near Norwegian PM's office

    I wonder how this will sit on the gun control debate. One article says he was a member of a shooting club, so it is possible the gun (guns?) were legally obtained threw their strict firearms licensing.  Norway however does not allow concealed carry and is very strict on where guns can be used...

    USMC vs Canadian Army..whos better?

    I've talked to a few folks on here who have done that and am seriously considering it myself.  This thread could have potentially been valuable asking what similarities and differences both organizations have instead of a simply "what's better".

    Sergeant Major Marching Up & Down the Parade Square - Return to Spit & Polish

    If that is the case, I would agree finding the right medium would be ideal, just the impression I got from others was that they are interested in more than what is needed for these events.  edit: I suppose also the standard will be very different for everyone. -Steve

    Sergeant Major Marching Up & Down the Parade Square - Return to Spit & Polish

    CDN Aviator, I'm not on here too often but dropped by this thread and after reading it a couple times you summed up how I feel on this topic.  I understand why drill exists, and have respect for tradition, but I am absolutely opposed to excessive drill and being paraded around like a show horse...

    New Leatherman

    I have a MUT. I like it. I have found the carbon scraper legitimately useful and use it often. The punch for taking out pins is handy if you need it, and I've used it for other purposes as well.  I've used just about everything on the MUT and found it works well. Will you use the bolt overide...

    WHY THE FU#K DOES YOUR 10-YEAR OLD NEED A SMARTPHONE?

    Hi Bern, With facebooks privacy settings, you kids are only letting you see what they want you to see as one their "friends". I'm assuming your kids are intelligent so really they could hide whatever they want from your account, I'm not a parent, but why bother browsing your childrens account...

    Canadian in the US Navy

    Just to give a little more insight.. When I was 18 I wanted to join the Marines, my mom is a U.S. citizen and I filed for a greencard.  The red tape is long and thick, the waiting times are very long, and keep in mind the sponsor must live in the United States while they are sponsoring you for...

    Themacell-anti mosquito device.

    Hmm.... Looks like Chinadian Tire is jacking up the prices.  Last year when I bought mine it was $12, and it's still running.  It appears the one now on the CT website under the same number is a different model also.  The color is different, I think it looks bigger, and is missing the starting...

    Cmbt CADPAT shirts

    I should clarify I agree with this.  If the velcro is designed for any sort of useful patches, IR flags, IFF, whatever else than I am all for it.  What I'm against is the lame bullsh** that some guys insist on putting on their velcro real estate.  I know some serious lamers wearing things likes...

    Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

    It's obvious, VERY VERY obvious: But, does anyone know why this tank is significant, and why this photo is so rare?  I think it will at least be of interest to most members following this thread. -Steve

    Why a Marine Corps?

    I understand that it may work onboard ship, but anywhere else? The USAF uses the same colors as ACU, but a different pattern.  I've read elsewhere that the USAF tunics tend to overheat from excessive material, and some guys are slimming them down removing the extra layers.  With multi-cam...

    Why a Marine Corps?

    Slightly off track but the Marines were the first U.S. branch to switch to digital camo uniforms, and made a smart decision going with the woodland and desert patterns like us, while the U.S. Army is having all sorts of issues finding something that works, and I've heard the new navy and air...

    IFAK pouches

    Hi, There are some good video reviews on youtube, just do a search and several will come up that go into a lot of detail. Here are some thoughts I have: Strengths:  Extremely fast access to medical supplies with the pull of a tab. Can easily be operated with only one weak arm.  I doubt...

    Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

    Yup, you got it, it's an American Marmon Herrington CTLS-4TAY. They saw some action against the Japanese in WW2.  M1 Combat car is a good guess, but it is tracked.  I could sort of see the LVT profile also. -Steve
