The course is at AATC, I was the crse offr for the one that just ended.  Right now the word is that the next course is only loaded at around 50%.  If anyone has any BMQ related questions send me a message and I'll try to answer it if I can.

Any other units out there have modular buildings with wooden walls that you slap together? From what I've seen we're not really maximizing the use of these facilities.  There should be well thought out collective trg range practices laid out in an Urban Ops trg document.  They should follow a...

Indoor Sim ranges seem to be popping up across the country.  In the Maritimes there's a similar range in Aldershot thats been there a couple years, it has smoke dischargers and cameras for AARs.  In Gagetown there is a range in one of the old RCR buildings and another in LFAA TC's HQ building. ...

Ghosts In The Hills by Adam Day http://www.legionmagazine.com/features/militarymatters/07-01.asp#2 In the mountains around Forward Operating Base Martello, the enemy are like ghosts; they hide among the villagers and emerge for battle only when and where they choose. Mostly they stay out of...

My dad just turned 60 and he's taking two months off work to start drawing CPP early since it gets reduced at 65 due to his military pension.

Yes I did a search. So, I'm looking to jump into modern times by buying a GPS.  I've read all the posts on a few websites about makes and models but can't find anything definitive on rechargeable vs. good old AA's.  I'm thinking a rechargeable GPS would be ideal but probably too hard to...

I haven't been on a course at the Inf Sch for a few years but the guys I know that were there this past year said something about a "crackdown" on non-issue boots.  I always wore jungle boot style boots on course there without any problems though.  It'll change based on the CSM/OC, RSM/CO...

I grew up just down the road from the "Wheeler/CP Gear" building and I've seen their products evolve over the years.  They've always been a bit behind the curve compared to other kit manufacturers who had a lot of input from soldiers who had been in combat.  Durability was never an issue but...

Dave,  he was the C Coy CSM at the Inf Sch when we were on Ph II together in 2001.

I want one for Christmas!!!! http://www.americantomahawk.com/products/comanche.htm

Gotta love that. I think he's referring to the 3VP Coy with TF 1-07, not the 2RCR BG.  I could be wrong.

What are the most popular/best privately purchased chest rigs and vests?  How supportive have CSMs and RSMs been of using non-issue kit?  From what I've heard its a no-go with TF1-07.

http://www.history.ca/microsites/devilsbrigade/default.aspx Reality TV show on the History Channel that puts CF Army Reserve soldiers and US Army soldiers through WW2 Devil's Brigade trg.  There are two of the episodes on tonight.

There should be an actual Lessons Learned part of this board.

I've condensed all the lessons learned posts in this thread into a Word Document.  If you want a copy send me a PM with your @forces.gc.ca e-mail address.

*Bump* Theres a few guys on here that were with the 1PPCLI BG.

I think Gunfighter is called PWT 4 now, meaning its been officially adopted.  A couple of our UOIs had to run some TF-1-07 engineers through it a few weeks ago, I think all Cbt Arms types have to shoot PWT4 before they go over.  They were out at the range from Mon to Fri doing it, it takes a...

Cpl Seeley served with 1RNBR from 98 to 99 when the joined the USMC.  He served in Iraq in 03.  I talked to the assisting officer in the mess today, the funeral should be in about a week in the Fredericton area.
