If you want to see how to properly deliver a PowerPoint style slide presentation, go download and watch any of Steve Job's Keynotes from Macworld. His slides are typically only a few words long for punch, a picture or a graph, all in basic black background and white text, he does the rest and...

Ah so true. Inspection time still has to be the most fun for this, one fellow will blurt out something about x should be facing y way and z should be on top of x or whatever, half the group will hear this, take it as gospel and they start changing things.  Someone will finally catch it, blurt...

Actually the hardest part is not 'exploding your skull' while surrounded by 50+ hyper teenagers who persist in forgetting where they are and hence act like they are hanging around after Gym class at High School.  You have to remember, your one of them now... not the one who is responsible for...

Thanks for the link GAP, missed that blog.  Just finished reading them all and it really helps put a positive light on things. Well worth the click. Cheers

1.  When I was first going to join back in the 80's with my friends, I got side tracked with Girls, Cars, Girls, Cars, Girls, Cars... just happen to take 20 years to get that out of my system (cars that is  ;D). 2.  I was starting to get too old to make any ranks so I had to do it now...

Nice find there Colin! I also found two good Leopard 1 documentaries (one on the tank itself, one on variants).  Was able to save these using good ol' Tubesock. Leopard 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klPIvxk8N1 Leopard 1 Variants http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJEK8U4lroI Cheers

Please tell me there isn't an NSN number for a plow attachment to the G-Wagon  ::)

Didn't you see the other items the seller had for sale? He has an entire Cougar Tank Trainer simulator for sale! http://cgi.ebay.ca/Canadian-Military-Cougar-Tank-Simulator-AVGP_W0QQitemZ130081945086QQihZ003QQcategoryZ80765QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (Only $3000 Canadian...Hmm...

Co-worker sent this to me today, good song, good video and obviously a touching message. It is a song sung by Dustin Evans titled "If I Die Before You Wake" (his style reminds me of our own Julian Austin). His website is here:  http://www.dustinevans.com The MP3 is available free from his...

If you want a pair for "civie" use, you can buy the Deluxe set at R.Nichols.  It uses a black frame instead of OD and has an extra yellow lens. If your missing your issued BEW's, I assume the answer is go to Stores, tell them the truth and pay for a new pair.  However I'm fairly new at the...

Ok ok, stop, I'm salivating enough as it is!  Don't get my hopes up :-) If we had a proper Reserve Armoured Regiment in Ontario with the A4's, C2's or even whats left of the C1's, I'd almost quit my civilian job, take the huge pay cut and go full-time (huge tank lover here... not obvious eh)...

More info on this topic and the new radar... (didn't see this posted yet so here it is). http://www.isrjournal.com/story.php?F=2510667

I recently got a good look at the Navy version of the jacket (Parka, Naval, Mfg 2000).  Nice black colour but many differences (possibly older model?).  I haven't looked closely at the older OD jacket so it may be similar to it. Here are some of the things I noticed: - No underarm ventilation...

Bah, if you want a nice new one, just show up to one of our BMQ classes... the "kiddies" leave them lying around all the time on the floor near their kit (yes near, not on, not in, not strapped... on the floor).  They still can't get it through their thick pubescent skulls to label them (let...

I actually just caught the episode of Truth, Duty, Valour the other night on the HMCS Nanaimo (CDV), where they fired both the .50's and the 40mm.    Now you can only judge so much by a quick TV documentary, but while it is fresh in my mind... I'll jump into the fray. Based upon the amount of...

You forgot to add "Ninja" to that old by-line.... i really wanna be a jtf2 ninja pathfinder sniper combat diver...  ::) Cheers and Merry Ho-Ho   Tim

As I recall the French Foreign Legion recently deployed to Ethiopia at the request of their government (according to a Military Channel special), anyone know if they are still there? I'll try to dig up some info.

The Canex in Borden had a few of the new Arid Cadpat ribbons left, very nice! Makes for handy stuffing stockers.

All I can say is WOW, this fellow has a fairly good grasp on tribal politics.  Dead simple and to the point. Go read "No True Glory" by Bing West and then view this presentation, things will "click".

You recall correctly, the "user instructions" from the Tease Clothe the Soldier project shows:
