Oh, I understood you just fine there buds. You said "From my observations it has no effect on combat stress." And my question to you was what makes you think, based on your "observations" that it is ineffective on combat stress? You clearly aren't an expert on this matter and I have serious...

You're not convinced? I'll draft the memo to the Minister for the CF Surgeon General's signature cancelling the program. Any other programs within your area of expertise that don't give you a warm fuzzy? The Joint Space Project? CFB Gagetown environmental remediation? The Bold Eagle program...

You're being sarcastic, right Geo? I can't tell (not QL4 Sarcasm Qualified although I have done the DL). Phalanx Block IB - 2000-3000 rounds per minute; search radar; tracking radar; TV/FLIR EO systems; ability to engage rockets, artillery, mortars. ZSU-23-4 - 4000 rounds per minute (limited...

Yeah, it's crewed by MOS 19K R4 (armor crewmen) who are trained at Fort Knox (Armor School - Specifically 2/81 Armor of the 1st Armor Training Brigade). See here: http://www.knox.army.mil/school/1atb/ Cheers, MG

MGS in the US Army will be manned by tankers.

Just a nit-picky point here - it's the LAV III (roman numerals for 'three') not the LAV 'one hundred and eleven'. We got rid of the SPHs and will have a very limited fleet of MBTs and TLAVs. Could you tell us why you think Canada should keep those things? It's not that I disagree it's just...

Coyotes underpowered? I remember whipping along HAWK route in Kosovo in my up-armoured AVGP at 90 km/hr and being passed by some yahoo from Recce Sqn in their Coyote. If that's underpowered I suppose the next step would be to strap JATO rockets on our Coyote fleet.   ::) Reference lane. Will be...

I worked closely with CIDA for a year in Kabul and I have to second Griffin's assessment. CIDA has some serious managerial, oversight and aid/development philosophy issues that may be the single greatest cause of the apparent lack of aid in K-har. Don't get me wrong, they have some good people...

Chinese Type 85/YW 534? That bloody picture is too blurry! MG

Yeah except, IIRC, that tank destroyer was a result of a failed tank project rather than some need for a tank destroyer. The 120mm gun it has was a failed Chinese project to develop that caliber, wasn't it? MG

Israeli Mag'ach 7c? MG PS Sorry for not posting earlier. I'm on leave and don't log on often.

GTS-M tractor. MG

You were in your closet? Are you out now? >:D MG

It looks like a UAZ-469 with 2 x M1919 MGs but I can't figure out who it belongs to. Poland? MG

Ohh, sorry. I thought "Kevin" was Irish Gaelic for "Rash". Now I know... >:D Seriously though, what do you think of Lasermax? I had a DEA friend in Kabul who swears by them. MG

Mike, Have you looked into a Lasermax sight? I'm sure Kev will tell us they're crap but here's the link anyway http://www.lasermax.com/products/glock.php MG

Well Sappo, you'll have to excuse the f**k out of me if I don't take your personal drama as seriously as you'd like. People have offered suggestions as to how you can sort yourself out and still you complain that you can't figure this conundrum out. You're right, I am being harsh and rude but...

Tell you what, I'm on leave right now. Perhaps BBJ, geo and I can swing by your place later this week and solve this problem for you. Do you need anything from the grocery store while we're out?  ::) MG

Boondock, You realize that there are still hundreds of soldiers qualified to operate and maintain the Cougar, right? They were only removed from service very recently so the capability still has not faded completely. As for the TUA - I hear you, it's a great piece of kit. However, it does...

Umm, OK excuse us for a second... Did you not say: So if you 'released' as you say, you are not 'technically' still in. In fact you are very much out and should have turned in your kit an ID. I commend you for releasing once you realized you could no longer contribute but I still have...
