Absolutely! to the above. In addition, it is a safe environment when done in the field - the afternoon before redeploying. You can control what happens and get ppl the appropriate rest/recovery/treatment before they get on the road for home and some husband/wife/gf/bf notices the fresh wounds...

but who needs these? NK already has those. what about Syria? From an article in Yahoo by Reuters: http://news.yahoo.com/panama-detains-north-korean-flagged-ship-seizes-weapons-144259760.html

Indeed. Also, the final destination might not be NK...

was on course with a couple of soldiers like that. One is 5'2" and can put mos of the guys in her unit to shame. The other one is 5'6" or so and same thing - she got her Sapper tab (FLW) a couple of yrs ago. Both of them did came in 1st/2nd in the Pet Ironman (an infantry friend of them came...

Wonder what secondary arrangements the Kurd leader in Turkey negotiated for his release - other than stopping Kurd aggression in Turkey?

For F sakes, just bc some puritans might object to alcohol being associated with anything does not mean we have to ban these. If it helps support the regiments and their soldiers, go for it. just my $0.05

ignoring the fact that 1 1/2 of those oceans are covered in ice for most of the year...

Not sure what some of you are all "upset"/panties-in-a-knot about the OP. It's just some geeky information, some may find it interesting, some amusing and some not. It may even help some with a similar way of thinking and be totally irrelevant to others - probably most of us. He may have come...

There is quite a bit of info in several threads - it may not be exactly what you are looking for; most ppl here don't like to post a diary of their life/job... So, the only way to really get the "feel" is if you put down a case of beer and call us over - I'll be happy to share after a few cold...

Glad to hear that those issues are being addressed - hard to keep up to trg stds and tech stds when most courses are being reviewed and changed almost continuously.

That's too bad.

seems like a DS did not read the whole thread...  ;-)

Bras? the poor things don't seem to have enough to buy proper panties/shorts! I say bring them to Canada - they can join the engineers; some of them seem to have potential - I would tutor... ;-)

Similar to blaming Christianity for the Westborough Baptist church protesting at soldiers funerals... (there are many other current examples but I'm too lazy at the moment to look them up) but definitely, Islam has a far bigger share of extreme extremists "guided" by their religious beliefs .

That may actually be a very good played political move in order to attract the younger votes by seeming more down to earth.

The runways in Haiti after the earthquake come to mind. Wrote off a grader in Pet after one of the 100' parachutes failed to release; We LAPEs a few machines in Baker Lake in 89 I believe but left the D3 there after it broke down. (the town managed to recover it before it melted through) They...

I would say thank you but I asked for a pina colada - but you can leave this one here, its kind of hot... Interesting topic. Some technological advances are pretty much inevitable as it may seem by the tank but the look and feel of it may take different paths through its evolution - the key is...

been there, done that, got the T-shirt and toe fungus, carry on...

the school has reconfigured the modules of the course (ph III) several times since I've been there but, in essence, you will cover the following: tools package,  mission analysis, estimate and plan, field defences and constructions, obstacles, some more wpns training, troop/pl command in...

There we go, thank you! It allows sufficient latitude for me to make a decision on how to employ them and allow them to participate in virtually every exercise throughout the training year - with sufficient supervision! This whole thread is kind of sad in that it highlights the lack of...
