Same goes for mine. Check with your chain of command though. We're always told if we're wearing aftermarket kit, to keep our issued stuff in follow on kit in case some general shows up or something. That's our house rules. If someone decides to have issue with it in a particular locale, we can...

I've been carrying the bergen for two years. Pics attached. No quick release. Has waist belt and sternum strap. Pros: It scales to whatever size you need. Seriously. From going light to play opfor for a fair weather weekend, to going heavy for winter indoc, to middle term (long term for PRes...

FYI Lerch shipped my package the day after it was paid for. It arrived as pictured and in good shape. He was prompt on returning PMs. Solid seller, good experience. And oddly enough it was adjusted and sized to fit my body perfectly...that part is a bit creepy. Thanks Lerch!

PM inbound.

There was a call for names to apply for this tour in the summer. I sent in my paperwork in June or July. There was a recent call to verify our availability to go on very short notice. 31 Bde was clear that this was not a new call for names, but rather verifying that those of us wanting to go...

It doesn't look like any media was present, but we had a good send off for Stark on Saturday.

Oh, that guy? I would think he'd be pretty experienced. They must have been wearing them when patrolling on Op Podium. He's definitely been around a long time.

Thanks for the replies, but it's not a move for a posting - it's actually not even a move, just re-mortgaging on an existing property. So I'm going to assume the DND clause is a mute point?

That's actually my expectation. Currently I drop $650 a month on debt repayment. If I re-mortgage, with the lower interest, I bet my monthly mortgage payment will be equal to or lesser than it is now (in which case I'd bump it up to equal current and pay off faster). At that point, I'd have $650...

I'm currently with ING, and trying to figure out my next move. I'm in the process of settling things from a divorce. ING will do a "release of covenant" and take her name off the mortgage and keep it "as is", but won't approve me on my own for the mortgage due to some credit card debt. If I...

I mean in general. If they are hiring for Sept, that does not mean drag your heels on the paperwork until Sept, it means get it in right away. The sooner the better. If you wait, someone else may have taken your spot. Also, it's not that some "mystery" exists around what will happen. A training...

BMQ(L) does run on weekends throughout the year. There is one running in Hamilton right now. If you are able to get your paper work in quickly: -You could be sworn in before the summer -If you join the Argylls you could start parading with the unit (the RHLI's believe in segregation) before the...

Can the DND not afford a half decent graphic designer?

Thanks for adding this to the conversation. Well done. If their is no discrepancy, this thread would have one post answering the question, and one post from an admin locking the thread, as many before it have. Is it unreasonable to suggest that when in doubt, err on the side of caution...

I can't even believe this discussion. Some of these office dwellers are really THAT concerned of the low speed/high drag effect of having a beret in your right cargo pocket? Amazing. To the original poster, who is fresh off BMOQ (or BMQ as it may be), err on the side of caution. Clearly there...

[list type=decimal] With just HS, you're very unlikely to get a signing bonus. You have no employable skills above and beyond anyone else. The best possible way to get in is to go to your local recruiting center and talk to them. They do this for a living. They know all of the options, and can...

I'm a web developer civi side. So nerd alert. Did he replace a physical file, or replace content in the database? Both have very different possibilities for what allowed him to breach, and very different possible outcomes and worst case scenarios. Glad to hear it was fixed quickly though.

This is a surprise? Anyone remember the $120 C7 Cleaning Kit thread? We've all seen prices on some pieces of kit and said WTF. This really doesn't surprise me. I'm sure a *normal* company looking at the contracts for municipal road work would probably say similar.

I have nothing to add to the CT vs OT discussion, however, another point to consider when talking about VRing is that PRes units, especially land force units, are really really tight on recruiting numbers right now. So to be recruited in from being a civi is very difficult. Units do have space...

I had issues with shin soreness early in my career. I couldn't run to save my life on BMQ because my shins would be screaming out in pain. I wouldn't even be winded, it was not an issue of cardio. I mentioned this to my chiropractor, who then massaged out my shins a few times. After the first...
