Ponder if you will the potential parallel of a ship being tasked to do things for which it wasn't designed, wasn't properly fitted for or with, and crew who are not yet trained or qualified...and that ship runs aground on a reef and sinks....and....parallel that with the SWOAD situation as...

They were exempt further service after they held the line at Hastings.

My 2nd time doing my fire training in Halifax in the 'old' building that was in the field below the current trainer was....interesting. Live fire - diesel fuel, no foam, only water. 2 doors, both of us were to enter at the same time, clear the fire between the doors, then turn and head around...

In WW2, the dismounts rode on the outside of the tank on the upper decks as "desants." Why would they worry about IFV's when they use people as soft armour on their AFV's?

I was simply shocked when I read that they'd had the ship running in Auto Pilot. I was more shocked when they didn't have someone who knew to take it OUT of Auto Pilot. The CPF's are equipped with an Auto Pilot, however, the system was never damped properly, so it drove the rudders way too...

I'll admit to having a problem...too many ships in the slips. That said, here's a quick pic update on the Puncher....

The tracks vs wheels question is also a point of where the pieces will be used. In Canada, relatively speaking, roads are rare. In Europe, there are roads almost everywhere. If we're looking at defending Canada, having a tracked system would make more sense. If we're looking at an...

As a CSM who's helping get my troops onto FTSE Tasks now, I'll observe that your employment options will be limited. FTSE will give you good money, and regular employment from 01 May to 02 Sep, but as a non-trade qualified Pte, there are limited positions that you'll be able to fill. These may...

Having recently observed how a 105mm shoot is done, a take-away from my perspective was how completely handraulic it was. There was not a heck of a lot of digital solutions in the fire control solutions that were implemented. My first suggestion would be to find a means to push out hardened...

LM2500's are also, while reliable, 30+ year old technology. I'd argue that going with something new that our allies are operating makes some sense.

I note that the article referenced the Covert Cabal's OSINT evaluations of tanks and such in the various depots.

Hats tipped to a lifetime of service before self. Well done!

The AOPS has a RCN version of the C19 Ranger Rifle. Nice looking firearms.

Weekend BMQ's require a total of 22 training days, so typically about 10-11 weekends (there are 2 variants of the schedules). The one I'm supporting in Nova Scotia is running from January through until April, with basically 11 of 15 weekends being training weekends for the Candidates, and the...

The perfect is the enemy of the good enough. Find something that ticks a few of the boxes, but mostly, is available in the near term for us.

What's your asking price?

Probably not 'By Guess and by God'? :-)

Probably pens, paper, and kneeboard maps. Nowadays? Something like what they showed in Top Gun Maverick??

How would we move them from Saskatche....oh....sorry.

Time to touch some boats...inappropriately?
