05 â “ 06 JULY 05 SLOVENIAN MINE STRIKE RESPONSE After sustaining a civil war and Soviet occupation, Afghanistan is littered with millions of land mines, which are very real threats, and precautions are taken as part of every operation. This threat became a reality on Tuesday the 5th of July...

One of the 3 we have on Op Athena was very recently purchased and was still made by Vickers OMC/Alvis of South Africa. I have not heard anything about GM producing them in future, although nothing surprises me. 

The Mamba (1) from Bosnia is now back in Canada, and is used as a Training Vehicle for units undergoing pre-deployment trg. It is no longer used operationally as it has been replaced by the Nyala of which we currently have 3 Forces wide. There is talk of buying a substancial quantity of these...

Well, I will leave you with this thought... it works as it was designed, an expedient Crimper. Unfortunately the geniuses at J3 put the run on it... go figure. There are many other things in our inventory that do a far worse job for things that they were designed for. I'm dying to know who...

So who's been the big winner over the past two weekends? The weather sucks back here.... :(

Hopefully you found your way to the pink house OK there Lazy E....I've done a nice job proving the route to it. Looks like I won't be getting any pay office Frequent Flier Miles this week, but the Warrants and the New Guy from the table will be.... No more four card straights and split pots...

Mine dogs are being used extensively by OMAR, RONCO and other mine clearance firms with very good success. Unfortunately, we do not have the handling skills or time to make use of these dogs ourselves. Most of the dogs I have seen used within ISAF (including Cdn) are for explosive sniffing. I...

Hey, its not like I mentioned that lost report for your $75. Don't worry about my ADREP's..... you guys are all out of "PopTarts" anyway. RECON

Well the Poker is up and running, but unfortunately we broke "Lazy E's" budget two games into the tour..... Sweet Lou is fleecing us all on a regular basis as usual. As for the original question: My TAV trip to KFOR '00 with Freaky Paul was by far the best.... My worst.... wait out :)

I agree, 95% of the tasks we (Sappers) complete during Warfighting, we also complete during OOTW. Only the procedures, time appreciation and risks taken to complete the task change (hasty vs deliberate). Ironically, we do more Warfighting training as part of the predeployment training then we...

Couldn't have said it better myself....

Well said...

Exactly.... short and sweet... All i'm trying to say is that the CF made policy about the rules and duration for sending pers on deployment. No sooner than it was in ink they had to come up with ways around it because the policy was almost impossible to fullfil. This is the issue i'm trying to...
