I'm not aware of any CF-wide standard for reports and returns.  I was asked to put together a reports and returns booklet for issue to the 3 RCR BG before we deployed and I ended up having to cross reference 3 different standards: the standard being used by the 2 PPCLI BG, the standard 3 RCR had...

Your argument makes perfect sense. I guess all I'm saying is that there are obviously some significant problems with getting various different types of kit to the various units that need them.  I think it's a bit of a sad commentary on our current state of affairs that the LPO of everyday field...

Fair enough, I'm outside my lanes when discussing budgets.  Not my forte. However I do see significant shortages of the types of kit I've discussed, and the method I've seen used to rectify those shortages has been local purchase.  An example would be CPDS (power distribution equipment).  I am...

Para C of the message quoted seems to indicate that we are indeed talking about those kinds of stores.  I know of a lot of units that have been spending money on just those sorts of things lately.

Why should anyone have to get creative in order to acquire essential field stores?  If the system can't provide generators, power distribution systems, tentage, lighting kits or heaters (as it apparently can't- look at the amount of such stuff that we have to lease from contractors every time...

Well, if no one else is going to do it, I would like to give huge thanks and recognition to the dude who took it upon himself to stop this. 

Of course any DND-issued BB that falls into "the wrong hands" constitutes a security risk. It's probably not a huge one, but it's a security risk, nonetheless.  In the same way your personal BB, if connected to the DIN, would constitute a security risk.  Long story short: the security...

It varies with unit and availability of manpower in various trades.  Most times, Pl level Signallers are of the same trade as the rest of the Pl, i.e. if we're talking about infantry, then the Pl Sig would be an Inf guy with a comms crse.  Most of the time, the Coy/Sqn Sig would be a Jimmy...

I've checked out the Voodoo vest and I like the 5.11 one better, specifically because the 5.11 has more MOLLE real estate on it (shoulders).  I would like to have the option to put a PRR on my left shoulder, so the Voodoo vest is out of the running for me. I have no doubt that the TAG vest is...

Yep, just checked it out online and you're right.  There seems (based on a quick look at the TT pics) to be few differences between the two vests though.  I've taken a look at the 5.11 vest and it seemed ok; not great, but ok.  I've never had a chance to check out the TT vest. Is there anyone...

Does anyone have a review or feedback to share regarding the vest at link below? http://www.511tactical.com/browse/Home/Law-Enforcement/Tactical-Vests/VTAC-LBE-Tactical-Vest/D/30100/P/1:100:10000:10500/I/58631 I am considering getting one.  I am aware that 5.11 has a reputation for producing...

X-Mo: Since you've asked, I will send you a PM which details my experience with the subject.  I don't pretend to be the absolute SME.  However I considered the "tactical nuke" response, whether black humor or not, to be in bad taste.  * edited to remove reference to another member.

Sure.  Regarding the matter of "retreat": I'm still waiting for my "spokesmodel" to weigh in, as he's the SME on the topic so far as I'm concerned.  I will offer my inexpert opinion in the meantime, which is that the decision had less to do with retreat and more to do with a troops to task...

I hope that (someone in a better position to comment than me) can/will respond to the comments made above.  I, however, will suffice to say that you, sir, are a bit of a douche. *edited to remove specific reference.

The mayor has a point when he says that it wigs people out to see soldiers with weapons moving through their town.  I don’t know what the political climate is like in Toledo, but I’ll tell you from experience that this kind of thing makes for some fairly uncomfortable situations in Victoria, and...

Recon 3690- I've used every radio mentioned in this discussion, and the 117 is by far the most capable and easy to use.  Wonderbread and Bullet Magnet are 100% correct, and if you retired in the '80s then I don't know where you get off trying to argue with them. Maybe you didn't see any Sigs...

ECC's are not up to you to change, but you can start the ball rolling to do so.  Submit an email saying that there is no PDT in stock to install and request permission to remove the bracket.  (In the mean time, get auth from your supervisor to take it out and keep it on hand for a quick...

The main advantage of the 117 as we are using it here in theatre is the multi band capability, not the HPW capability. The HPW capability is great, and it lets you do all kinds of snazzy things, but at the present time we aren't using it, other than in a few test cases.  (The Brits use HPW all...

It's actually a very common mistake to believe that the CRTC is the responsible agency for RF Spectrum management in Canada.  They aren't.  Industry Canada is the agency that regulates Canadian use of the RF Spectrum.  The CRTC is solely concerned with broadcast practices and content.

There isn't a single thing I can tell you about over these means.  PM me your DWAN email address.
