Well I can carry a loaded weapon, not readied on KAF I have force exemption.I think all troops should carry a pistol.I like having to firearms.

I carry two weapons rifle and pistol the issue holster is terrilbe can't too get my holster only a few weeks until it gets here.

What I was meaning is there would be less convoys going out.The choppers would help with the resupply not completely take the jobs away from the convoys.I agree spend more money on IED hunters.

Garbage we need the Chinooks now would help with the IED threat.It would be less convoys to guard for me.Spend the money and protect the troops more.Plus we'll have an excellent heli.

Magnification on a MG is only good for long distance to observe splash and adjust makes it a little easier to see, being an ex C9 gunner and MG qualified the old course not this DP2A crap.I never liked the C79 on the C9 FOV is shyte .I'd like a sight with a big field of view.When my platoon was...

I like the look of it .I'd love to shoot it.

Well thats a start hopefully they get more people trained soon.

Yeah if i stay in will join the Westies they have a coy 20 mins from where I'm going to live.So the roughly $3876.49.Is what I would get if it's the old system or the new one if I asked for a payout.Well I have to think about what I'm going to do stay in or get out .I always thought the old...

Thats why I think they should have people at least training on them now.I've flown in a Chinook its a great heli.Too bad its taking to long to get things rolling.

I think thats what it was called.

Well back before they had the reserve pension if you did 10 yrs it was 10,000.. 20yrs 20,000 etc.I was wondering if they still have this option?I have over 3,000 cl A days and over 500 cl B.I joined April 96.I'm 29 yrs old.I plan to get out after this tour and want to know what I can get if I...

ROFL good one.

Does anybody know if you can still be payed out? After this tour I'm getting out I have 12 yrs TI.All reserve time.I have tried to get info from the website they emailed me all this sh**.I don't understand.I need someone to explain it to me. I guess they had someone talk about it at the south...

Too bad. We need those chopper now in Afghanistan, why can't they just get them of the shelf like the C17's.

I agree totally that they are over priced. There is a couple of guys in my platoon that have pouches and the tac vest after looking at the pouches and vest and finding out the price I just shook my head.Way over priced for example the C9 pouch from Dropzone is $47.99, if it's Cadpat TW or Arid...

Theres no point arguing about things like socks and T shirts the system sucks no offence Vern but the system does sucks.Simple things like socks and T shirts should not be exchanged for new ones they are simple items and should be treated as such.I'm wearing my own under wear and using cotton...

Yeah the gas mask carrier is ridiculous I got my tan boots yesterday.i deploy ***** i was close to buying my own.I'm bringing my own rig and holster over anyway. Edited by Roy Harding to delete deployment date (OPSEC)

I did my MG course 10 yrs ago we had the quick change barrels then.I hope I see and use the 50 in Afghanistan.I like shooting it on the tripod and vehicle mounted not a fan on the RWS.

I love the C6 and 50 cal I'm MG qualified.I just did my RWS course for the RG31 just before xmas.I do love the distance and damage the 50 has too bad it's been phased out again for theatre I hear no ammo.Anybody hear different?
