Lest we forget: GOOD DRILL INSTILLS DISCIPLINE discpline is the backbone of the army.This is evident in all forms of military life.The days of executing a parade square perfect"hollow square"may be over,but the principals remain the same.Drill instills working as a team,as one unit to accomplish...

I went to that guys website,into his scrap book section and looked at his pictures. The one thing that really made me sick is all the pictures he took in front of Pier 21 in Halifax.How can this,cowardly and selfish individual,try and put himself on the same plateau as all the other people who...

Machinist,since that was what I did before the military.

Silva compasses retail about 60 bucks.You can get them in Mils or in degrees,what ever you choose.A good place to start is SIR outfitters in Winnipeg.You can get on thier mailing list by going to thier homepage and joining thier list.Don't scrimp on a good compass,your life could depend on it.

The boots are good if your just standing around ie: sentry or doing light activity.As you stated before,the traction sucks,but you are right,they are better than the old mk 3 in winter conditions.Don't count out the wool socks,if dry and washed a few times before you use them,they are plenty...

To much to mention.Do a search and you'll find it. Make sure you have a car though.Trust me ,taking the bus sucks!!

The smallest I've seen seen was size 3 woman's which belong to my wife when see was in. little,tiny parade boots! A friend of mine has a large size like your and for the longest time he had to have his Mk 3 specially made for him.With the new WWB though,they came in a size that fit him...

I don't have the dimensions offhand,but once I get mine from the Mat techs,I'll PM you with them and also put them up here for all to see.I as well am getting them made for my 64 pattern ruck for use as my valise straps What line of work are you in?Civillian or retired military?

get a Mat tech to make em for ya.I got 2 comin my way tommorow.

I'm not sure about what they get issued,but both danners and Materhorns are USMC approved.Wether or not they get them issued is another story.

Unless they are perscribed by the MO for an orthodic condition(as mine is the case).Blackhorse7 is not in the CF anymore so he can wear whatever he wants. Marks Work Wherehouse in Edmonton at the Kingsway mall is where I got mine at.As well ,the Mark's here in Wx also carries a small selection...

That's crappy to hear about your danners...such a good boot. Magnums are good boots as well but lack the waterproofness of the more "rugged"style boots out there.Don't chalk them up as a loss though,my buddy swears by them.Another good brand that does'nt get a lot of air time are Rocky brand...

I guess I'm lucky then, as they are my issued footwear!

Yes I was referring to them worn as a liner sock.Even when worn under the green sock they still make my foot slid around in them.Great for standing around in,but I find them impractiable for marching,but thats just my opinion. I have a indepth knowledge of the WWB.I was issued them in 2000 and...

Took another look with an open mind..... Still looks like a dog's breakfast.

If you still have your danners,maybe the recrafting service offered by the company might be a viable option.Check out thier website-www.Danner.com-and ask them how much,and if it can be done.I would think a split on a seam would be easier to repair than one on the fabric or on the toe cap.

I leave my doors unlocked all the time.Then again, nobody's gonna break in to a Cpl's house.Nothing to steal!LOL The only thing thing I have is my guns........precious guns.....and my skin mag collection ;D

I found the same thing happened to me when I first joined the reserves in 94.Just roll with it.Eventually you'll find a happy medium and you'll be fine.You never really find out how much the military actually changes you until you see it for yourself.Insted of trying to talk to your friends...

1.Does anyone have any pics to post of the new gloves? 2.Are they a thick glove?Like the old black outer or more close to the issued flight glove? 3.What exactly are the restrictions on them?Are they functional or just a look cool thing? 4.Is the sizing system accurate or is it like the CWW...
