I don't get the date and time difference between the two posts, five hours later then mine? Not that I really care.

Where can you buy one? I've only seen Iltises for sale around NB.

I'm not even drunk tonight....

If you check out the captions of the photos that accompany the article, he refers to a senior Taliban commander as his "good friend". To me the aim of this article (which declares that the war is lost) is to target the will of NATO's center of gravity, the civilian voter. I'm all for unbiased...

Interesting video. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=093_1224473530 EDIT:  There is no "e" in story.

Exactly, and when senior leaders in the units hear on the news that a member of their unit was wounded/killed and they haven't gotten a call yet it causes waves. A few weeks ago my mother in law got a call from the Moncton hospital to tell her that her daughter and grandchild were in a car...

Keep an eye on the deals at http://www.lapolicegear.com/closeouts.html. I just got a pair of desert Wellco boots with a ripple sole for $45 including shipping. I've already gotten some Bates boots there for the same price.

The boys are back in town, sounds like it was a good exercise. I guess it was pretty intense training, one of the guys said every day of the Ex was like a really bad day in Afghanistan. The 'Afghan' villages were very well built and the OPFOR and role players did their jobs well. Sounds like a...

Yeah, I picked it up yesterday at the Fredericton Chapters.

I just bought it at Chapters. It is detailed and well written, the author is apparently also a reservist in Toronto. I'm only a chapter into it but would recommend it.

I pre-ordered through Chapters and it will take a few weeks. I probably could of driven the 15 minutes to UNB to buy one quicker. They're supposed to do a book launch at 2 RCR sometime soon, after the guys get back from Germany I'm guessing.  I'm not surprised the book is copyrighted by The...

This one is a couple years in the making. I've had all three authors as military history professors at UNB Fredericton and I know they have put a lot of work into it. Lee Windsor got in a few TICs riding with the 2 RCR 9er TAC while doing 'research'...

Tough decisions ahead for some generals. At the same time, its a great time to be in the Army with the amount of posns open.

The increase in Helmand and Kandahar probably have something to do with the Marines operating there. More boots on the ground = more contacts.

I think there is a spike in summary trials during the first few months after a unit redeploys, but its understandable because the young guys have more trouble adapting to the change in environment. I don't think its because of PTSD from what I've seen, just the boys going from being watched by a...

Theres surrendering and theres surrendering to Pakistan. All this means is he's going on R&R.

When it comes down to it, it was a pretty damn successful operation. Imagine if we libertated 800 Cdn PWs from a PW camp in enemy territoy.

I tried wearing the Combat Arms earplugs with a 522 headset on and they don't work well together, partly because the end not in use sticks out too far and the headset pushes on it. The Surefire EP3s work much better, both in terms of hearing low noises and conversation and integration with a...
