There are a number of ways current and future UAV assist with locating IED.  I'm not going into any detail here (OpSec), but having spoken with some people on the various teams, there's some neat stuff being done.  If the projects bear fruit, it'll save lives.

Hmmm, where did I see that before... http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/49908/post-607192.html#msg607192    8) +1, ModlrMike

It will also depend greatly on what trade you're in, and what the tng requirements for the trade are. I know several Lower Mainland PC, including PMT9D who you can find on here from time to time.  Our CSM is a West Van PD member, as well as another VPD member (MCpl Medic VOT to Int Op) The...

Holding the moral high ground may not win wars, but losing it, I suspect, can lose them, and our withdrawal from A'Stan is ceding it to the enemy. I can see the parallel to the breakup of the FRY, and other "failing states" decay.  When in BiH, I was truly shocked at what hadn't made the news...

I 6, is some of that due to the fact that they'd lost the moral high ground, and were unable to accomplish the mission? I recall several "abu graib" type videos coming out before the withdrawal was announced.  having lost the moral right to govern, was withdrawing perhaps a legit act? NOT...

Just remember, "It's aaaaaaaaall for the good of the country"  (or Milnet, as may be)

Hate to take you out of your reverie, Roy.  ;D You do good work, by the way. PMT

I'd hit the button on the original post, not my own. Though I've certainly felt the urge to report my own rampant stupidity on more then one occasion.

I was able to resend once someone else had posted in the thread, just not when I was the last poster. Guess it's a "feature" then! The "contact staff" may be a better link to point that link to, perhaps.

I recently noted a potential problem with the "report to mod" button: A member posted several questions that had come up several hundred (thousand?) times in the past...drug use and prescription eyewear. I pointed the lad towards the search function, and then hit the "report to mod" button to...

But only because it's a "warm and fuzzy peacekeeping" kind of story.  I'm genuinely surprised that they didn't blame NATO for all the injuries and even the pregnancy!

well, they certainly shouldn't be able to cook the books while doing so  >:D

'cuz she's dumb as a post!

I don't think this has come up yet, but I've done some searching since a conversation yesterday at work.  I'd read the Afganistan Compact when it was first released, but didn't really correlate the dates of that with the dates of the change of government in Spring 2006. The Liberals were in...

I'd say you're welcome to apply, but don't hold your breath. There's no fundamental right to serve, but there is a right to apply.  Have fun with the recruiting process.

Well, as a supervisor I can say that I wouldn't forward a request for ED&T without a reason, because the first question my boss would as me is "what does she need it for?" So, a little justification would go a long way.

You're right, no Molle on the outside, and I've had a couple of conversations with troops about over-packing. The OMLT guys are still with us, including several from 1-06, and passing on lots of their experience to the next generation of dismounts.

Post the link to facebook, myspace, blogs, wherever you can.  Word of mouth can get things out pretty far, fast.  there's a reason guerrilla advertising works. +1, MG.  Best rant ever. I just wrote CBC and CTV telling them I'm boycotting CBC and their advertisers. PMT

One of your best analyses yet, I6.
