From seeing Rio's carnival live and then seeing the picture that OZ posted and from other coverage I've seen of the pride parades they look like they are pretty much the same just different names.  :dunno:

Its not my fault that you navy types guard your boats on a secure base, as far as I'm concerned that is life in your chosen trade/job. How ever how would you like to have to do guard at the main gate also? That is what we are talking about. There is no need to give any body parts to be able to...

I was in Cornwallis at that time and it was no longer a way to "get out" of the Military. We were all inform that Homosexuals (they didn't use that term) could no longer be kicked out for that reason because of the charter of human rights. How ever that didn't mean that they weren't still...

Yup that policy ended in January of 1986,  up until 1972 the forces would kick females out if they became pregnant, until the mid 60s they would kick them out if they became married. What is your point?

Had me right up to the Cummerbun part, god I hate those things glad no one forces use in the Armour corps to wear them.............anymore ;D

None, because we are not allowed to celebrate it, as it might offend others ;D

Yeah I am on OP Attention and I don't know if they are going to issue the SORD rig to all of us or just the real infantry. No one has made mention of it yet. The Battle group RSM said we could use our own rigs as long as they didn't look totally out of place.

Sorry that was suppose to be rhetorical, and more just think out loud in wonderment more than anything else.

Who the hell and why would some one make fake tourniquets?

I found the drop leg holsters only good for walking around base and were useless in any type of vehicle. I haven't found any chest rig holster that works well with the TAC vest and the best option was putting it in a mag pouch. Skeletor, ObedientiaZelum what do you guys recommend for use as I'm...

We wore the 82 pattern webbing in 92 when we went from Germany to the Balkans and took it with us in 94. I remember the combat jacket LBV in 97  in Dravr, but can't recall what we wore or took with us to Bosnia in 2000 or 2003. I want to say 82 webbing but can't really remember?

So I spend a month or so gone on exercise or on course come home and first weekend back I get a nice base duty, doesn't matter if it is only once every 2-3 months or only twice a year that coupled with regimental duty just adds another level of f**kery on top of what is already there. Now you...

:goodpost: Ditto on that thought Rampage 800, ObedientiaZelum mil points on the way

I'm an Armour Crewman and firmly believe in my kit carrying me not vise-versa, plus I figure if god wanted to carry things on my back then he would of put a pouch there to carry it in!

Yay just did my last BFT :dileas:

Burrocricy at it finest http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/05/31/wdr-moore-tornado-relief-us-border.html

Concur. I have several of my Uncle's sets of medals in shadow boxes with their pictures and one day my Dad's medals and mine will also go on the wall. I've stated to my family where I stand on this matter and they understand the one that earns the medals wears the medals not the one that...

And which regiment would that be?  :stirpot:

Actually you can get tankers to most anything.....................as long as we don't have to get off the tank  ;D

The 8CH (PL) and then the RCD had a jump troop so not a totally strange concept.
