Same here. I use the MKIV all the time: BFT, on EX, did my workup for the Ironman with them (but the actual event on SWATS as they are about a pound lighter - makes a difference after 32km of running with them). Only had a problem with the first BFT 2 weeks after getting them. Since then no...

Cultural values are things that are always evolving in any society but at a faster rate in a free society. The overreactions and knee jerk "solutions" or "laws" listed above are natural and eventually will be fixed when common sense finally sets in. I think it is a good thing to test the limits...

Bunch of revisionist history hogwash. (in ref your highlighted part) The intelligence agencies that were piecing this together at the time were the same ones that  "failed to connect the dots" prior to 9/11 However, was the cruise missile attack in Khartoum and  Afghanistan a spur of the moment...

1. Haven't come across any info when on the two way shooting gallery - direct line arcs. 2. Beaten zone increases in size from 100 to 600m or so. At some point it reaches its max and then starts becoming shorter, rounder (wider)  and you start losing grazing fire as the barrel gets elevated and...

There are some photos and diagrams of the area during Medusa in here: http://www.23fieldsquadron.ca/23_Field_Squadron/Photos.html (Make sure you credit and ask for usage if the presentation is going to be distributed)

I don't have the ref at the moment but I don't think it is the propelling charge that is the problem but the effect of nearby munitions exploding while some are still in the air that disrupts the firing mechanism of the late arrivals. One way to deal with the high rate of duds is to include a...

It is legally contentious because every TB submission is a legal document (when approved.) Both the policy analysts and the lawyers have to have a good read and analysis of the documents - lawyers for legality, legal consequences (intended or unintended - there might be some risk...

You are right on that one. Had a big discussion with someone familiar with the case a couple of days ago. I is an issue that has bothered many ppl for a while now. But it seems we tend to reach for the sledge hammer when tweezers should have done the job. Not to disparage anyone but it seems we...

That's funny, made me choke on my pseudoephedrine. Don't they ask for the period of time: "How many drinks of alcohol have you had in the last week?" cheers

I missed the opening show.  Will watch it online. Yes, I know it is going to be like most of the "reality shows" that try to create "drama" where none exists... Just want to see which old fart I recognize ;-) Chimo!

another interesting quote from the article:

Haven't seen any of the test reports but saw a couple of test veh. All I can say is that they did a lot of testing - many calibres and explosive charges (IED simulated charges) and it looked like it survived well enough - although, I didn't have time to inspect the insides.  (OPSEC tested...

Interesting individual. By Neil MacDonald, CBC: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/08/28/f-rfa-macdonald-archie-barr.html

lol, I like this quote from that linked site:

With fervour and piousness - if the mullah, cleric, minister,  priest, guru, etc says, it it must be God's will.... Never underestimate the power some religious figures hold on their followers.

my old  CO and RSM had an unscheduled visit to the Bde Comd for something like that... although the girls were not dressed quite like that... (long time ago) someone actually told his gf/wife ????  :facepalm:

Didn't work for me (tried several times with blanks); maybe mine was a less used one and still had a "tighter fit" on the bolt and sear/trigger mech. cheers, Frank

What??? it's all very natural... And I believe that you are not a real man until you have fought your way through some real think bush. :camo:
