Don't forget the "pillow" feature... mighty handy for us weekend BMQ types (of course, only for the ones that have figured it out...) and makes dashing out for fire drill that much quicker (just grab your pillow and run, unzip and don on the fly). Now what other little gems are hidden in this...

Nice find!  Always wondered what they went through to put them back to sea. Cheers

Too fricken funny, so that's what ACU's were actually designed for...hiding in Urban spaces ;-)

Well damn I should have guessed that myself, I was wondering where those "Hot Pack - Individual Flameless Ration Heaters" go. Step 1: Stuff Pizza Pocket or leftover Buffalo Wings into pocket pouches Step 2: Insert Hot Pack into main pocket Step 3: Tear and wait for dinner So they took the idea...

Hey I like it, Max-Flex!  :P I'm still waiting for some joker to indicate the inside pockets are for iPods (or beer).....  ::)

I swear I saw this explained somewhere on this board but for the life of me can't seem to hit the "magic" key phrase in the search engine. What were the pockets on the lower front of the ICE Combat jacket designed to hold? - Each pocket has two smaller "pouches" inside that look like they...

Is it just me or is that soldier's weapon in that picture on single shot / full auto?  It certainly isn't on Safe if they use the same Icon's and colours as HK! You can see the fellow's behind him is set to the White icon (safe). The clear magazine also appears to have rounds in it...wonder if...

Wow good find.  Online/Multi-player but free. Now if only they'd make a version for Armoured Land Combat, it would be worth playing  ;D --- Looks good however, I'll give it a try. Cheers

Most definitely, they've been around for ages.  Executive Outcomes was one of the originals but their "methods" were a tad extreme to some. Wikipedia is not bad for some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_contractor If you'd like a video look at various PMC's, try the movie...

Perfect!  That was exactly the sort of "style" I was looking for. Just ordered a copy. Thanks!

Just finished the book as well, enjoyed it immensely due to having read too many similar books but from an American perspective.  It was refreshing to get a Canadian Army view (however myopic). Thanks the the info about "Fortune's Warriors", I'll grab that one as well. Are there any other...

Don't forget the "gate guardian" on the road into Base Borden from the town of Angus (can't find an image right now). Some good pics over at Tanx Heaven: http://www.tanxheaven.com/m113CR/m113CRpic.htm

He may be referring to the "Professional Training Weapon" (read: bloody expensive airsoft gun) that they are trying to get the Law Enforcement community to adopt down in the states.  Promo/intro videos are posted on youtube for your entertainment during lunch...

List from 32 Brigade Battle School is here: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/32cbg_hq/Battle_School/Downloadable_Docs/Joining%20Instructions%202006-07.doc See Annex B near the end. Should be similar for yourself but unfortunately I wouldn't know. Cheers

Agreed, it was a good book (I purchased the audio version unabridged from audible.com). The other one that was really good is "Roughneck 9-1". and of course, "The Sharp End - A Canadian Soldier's Story".

QOR = The Queen's Own Rifles, they are a Reserve regiment. According to the 32 Brigade Battleschool website, the next Reserve BMQ is Nov 24-26 hosted by QYR (The Queen's York Rangers). http://www.army.dnd.ca/32brigade/Battle_School/BSL_trg_dates_e.htm Other dates can be seen there. Cheers

Out of curiosity, has anyone evaluated the new Elcan SpecterDR?  (I don't think it is a released product yet, just curious if anyone has seen/tested a pre-production unit) It states a simple switch can change the mode from no mag to 4x mag.  Best of both worlds in a single scope (or so it...

The GHQ line is amazing, a shot of Krylon OD spray paint and they should suit your purpose (if they are not too small). For Iltis/Leopards & ARV's just look under Modern/German.  Coyote can be LAV-25 (Modern/US). Notice that they have even pictured the Leopard with a Maple Leaf on it (you can...

Wow, click on the "Download Full Image" links once you are in the article.  They are a nice high res, rare to see online. Full res links are below: http://www.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/061007-F-6882G-327.jpg http://www.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/061007-F-6882G-286.jpg...
