    The only way to stop or mitigate the actions of madmen is to be prepared to stop them with your own weapons and skills.

    Close Air Support in the CF: Bring back something like the CF-5 or introduce something with props?

    How about this; cheap and effective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Tractor_AT-802#Specifications_.28AT-802U.29

    Why the U.S. (still) can’t train the Iraqi military

    Or maybe we just can't get people raised in the muslim cultural milieu to fight like westerners. Unless we're going to re-jig their culture and society to look like Turkey, I think we're stuck.

    British Army considering Challenger replacement as response to Russia's Armata?

    Well, with all they were going to need to do to make the ammo storage for the 120mm Smoothbore work (Separate loading-single-loading), they really may as well have started on a whole new tank.

    "Tour of Duty" (1987-1990)

    Not initially, but later on, they went to all sound-alikes; the dvds are the same way, sadly. at least mine are

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    :facepalm: Because the best way to find out what any organization, let alone an intelligence agency is really like is their official website? Are you kidding me? Or, you could assume that I'm not an idiot; that I am, for instance familiar with their official mandate and indeed have taken note...

    Fair enough to believe that, but why?

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    Last i looked, it looked like an REO application; lots of codes and numbers, little/no hard data on what the job is. My CF experience is that the name of a job has no inherant connection to what the job actually is. But yeah; basically History BA. My program is called "Cross-Disciplinary...

    2 Men Open Fire On Soldiers At Jade Helm Training Site In Mississippi

    Hey, cultures I disagree with/don't understand are all equal in my mind. I mean, I could see some angry/bored natives (on any continent) shooting at us on exercise and us drastically revising the exercise in order to mollify them.

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    I'm in touch with my BPSO, but he's class-A, very busy and I rarely hear back from him. I feel like I need to look at alternatives, but i find the descriptions of trades online to be lackluster and the requirements and prerequisites indecipherable. Where can i find a person or resource to...

    2 Men Open Fire On Soldiers At Jade Helm Training Site In Mississippi

    As a thought...how would this be handled if it was a large-scale exercise in a foreign country? Say something just like this conducted in say; Africa. Leads to angry local tribespeople coming out and shooting at your troops. My thought is that they would re-evaluate the exercise; consider the...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Question: Has there ever been an inquiry like this ever, which failed to find massive sexual misconduct and harassment? I mean; this is big bucks, right? There will need to be training, teaching materials, posters, presentations and seminars, all by "Experts" and I presume, all coming out of...

    Navy war graves ( merged )

    There is actually a treaty protecting nautical wargraves from salvage. Which, naturally only works if everyone signs it, as the aussies recently found out with HMAS Melbourne IIRC.

    C7A2 Opinions ??

    The weirdest stoppage I have ever seen was on a C7A2 and I don't find the A2s as balanced as the A1s. I think the most interesting thing about talking weapons in the CF is how people instantly blame the operator, without knowing anything about the weapons in question. Fact is; proper...

    Rubberized Cargo Pack

    Does it fit on a C2/jumpruck/LW ruck sack frame? Can you show us? And as an aside, would that happen to be "tangled webbing"? the book? I have been trying to locate a copy for some time. Haven't even seen an "unreasonably priced" one.
