    Improvised Antenna wires

    Oh man, would I love to pull out a slinky in class and hook it to a 522. So that solves the copper wire bit, but what is a Cobra head? You mean from the cobra headset? how? And any kind of coax?

    Improvised Antenna wires

    I am teaching a class on improvised antennas and the MLP cites the use of coax cable and insulated copper wire, but doesn't specify what kind. Couldn't find it in the pam either. What sort do I need to make some demo antennas?

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    Is that permitted? I didn't see a number on the email. I'm almost looking at this like my buddy's police applications; if I bug them, they *will* loose my application. My Coy clerk suggested I wait till the new year and said if I resubmit, I'll be starting all over again.

    VAC Spending/Downsizing (merged)

    is this anything like the army having to give back a bunch of cash a few years back when we were really tight for funds at the same time?

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    Yes, only this one trade. I've never submitted a CT before.

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    I've had my CT in since February and I started off with the mindset of this taking a long time. I figured 3 years start to finish. Got word in sept that they got my application in august (online application) and were currently working on march. I had been worried; hearing nothing that I might...

    What do I need?

    What info do I need to get my grand father's service record and stuff? I may not be able to find his service number, would name, corps (artillery) and birthday be enough?

    Women in U.S. infantry (USMC, Rangers, etc. - merged)

    I'd suggest anyone truely interested in this subject read Tom Kratman's Amazon Legion and The Amazon's Right Breast. These are probably the two best-thought out, most pragmatic works ever produced on the subject of training women for the military, including a "Ranger" course...

    Wolverine (X-men comic character) set to DIE (and stay DEAD) in new series

    Yeah, I'll believe it when wolverine is still dead in a year or three

    M60E6

    Put the heavy barrel on it and it should be fine for a GPMG, ROF is slow for my liking though. The M60 is no more out-dated than our C7s. It's WW2 technology, updated, improved and modified over the years. it's come a long way, almost as far from the original M60 as our C7A2s and C8s are from...

    Justin Trudeau - Timelines

    So i'm not just ignorant, not being able to find word-one on JT's defence policy? Shiny pony, really has none and Leslie is just a deflection from the fact?

    Justin Trudeau - Timelines

    I have some friends telling me that Justin Trudeau will be a better friend to the CF than Harper. Yeah, right. They insist that having Andrew Leslie on his staff proves this and claim to have read many articles on the subject. However, when I try to find these, I cannot find word 1 on JT's...

    Canada does not need fighter jets, period - G&M

    I am seeing more and more support for RAH's ideas all over. I agree with the attack helicopter comment above as well. A damn shame the AH-56 was cancelled, something like that would really close the CAS gap. As for the F-35...modern equipment in general, I have noticed a trend, as a weapons...

    The Soldier's Load and the Immobility of a Nation

    I move better and faster without it, I gain no emotional comfort from wearing it and I can do without carrying my own atmosphere around with me between my tunic and my chest. I'm a huge target already and the plates don't cover very much of my chest, or back. It wouldn't bother me at all, I...

    The Soldier's Load and the Immobility of a Nation

    Could we do anything about this? Engender an attitude of flexibility and tolerance as pertains to what we carry and body armour? Maybe i'm being overly optimistic.
