    Skydex Helmet Pad Kit - LOTS of pictures

    My install is exactly the same, right down to the velcro for the helmet cover.  I put velcro on both side of the plastic tabs of the helmet cover to facilitate the addition of a scrim net.  Fits like a glove, feels like a dream, best money I have spent on kit so far.  Will post pics later.

    CADPAT Rain Gear

    I don't have any rain gear for you to take away, so it would be no change for me.

    CADPAT Rain Gear

    A little rain never hurt anybody.  They aren't made of sugar, they won't melt.  Besides, if it ain't rainin', it ain't trainin'.

    Helmet Cam

    I use scrim. It does not interfere mith my MNVG's, it is not a fire hazard, it is effective when used in the proper environment.  Mine is made of strips of my individual cam blanket, TW. The fire hazard rule applies to scrim nets made of strips of old cotton t-shirts or waffle pattern long...

    Helmet Cam

    I think he is talking about a helmet mounted video camera. There were a couple guys on my roto that had them but the quality wasn't great, a little shaky and all over the place when they were in a TIC, which is where the best footage would come from. With OPSEC and PERSEC in mind, don't go...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    I bet you just followed the joining instructions, asked your CFRC any questions, and hoped for the best.  Thats what I did.  How did we ever do it?  We must've been crazy! Bring what your told to bring, buy what your told to buy.  Bring a cell phone and MP3 player, ditch the laptop.

    Joining CSOR early

    The ISAP ran last November was approx 3 weeks.  It's a selection thats not a selection.  It is designed to give potential operators from non-combat arms, non-army trades a chance to bring themselves up to a certain level of performance before they are deemed "unfit" to continue onto the course. ...

    Joining CSOR early

    Are you aware that the course in May is only the ISAP?  (Individual Skill Assessment Phase)  The actual SOBQ will run in December, and there will be another ISAP in November.  They are only running one per year.  It makes more sense to attend the November selection; it gives you more time to...

    APRIL FOOLS 2008: Notice: Database problems

    OK where did my last post go. This is a joke, I've just confirmed it, "R.CR" is now RCR, "P.PCLI" is now PPCLI and "O.ttawa" is now Ottawa.  And the previous post about this was removed almost as fast as I posted it. Very funny, now turn it off.

    APRIL FOOLS 2008: Notice: Database problems

    O.K., is dit duidelijk prank. "R.CR" is nu het Koninklijke Regiment van de Kip, "P.PCLI" is nu ander regiment, "O.ttawa" nu Neverland is. Goed één, u kreeg me. Nu draai het weg.

    APRIL FOOLS 2008: Notice: Database problems

    A silly post about DU bullets and heavier BFT rucks is one thing, but check out the mo.ds posts.  Check out the "Soviet Canuckistan" crap.  "Afgh.anistan" into Iraq?  Thats not funny.  There is the possibility it is all an April Fool's prank, but I don't think anyone here would mess with the...

    APRIL FOOLS 2008: Notice: Database problems

    :o Well, it looks like the "mo.ds" are speaking gibberish now ... thats quite the Trojan horse.  I would definitely agree that this is the work of someone recently ban.ned.  Is this a crime?  Cyber-vandalism perhaps?

    APRIL FOOLS 2008: Notice: Database problems

    I see something unusual .... punch "Afganistan" into the searh bar and see what results you get.  Looks like the word "Afganistan" has been replaced by "Iraq."  Is anyone else seeing this?  Also, the "serh bar" has been renamed to the "ignore bar" when I type it into my post!  In addition, I...

    Questions regarding getting posted

    OK, here's a question regarding the purchase of a replacement house upon posting... As you know, IRPP pays certain fees for you when you purchase a home within 2 years of being posted to a location.  My wife is being posted to Petawawa after completion of her RMS Clerk QL3.  IRPP has told her...

    Joining CSOR early

    It's all in who you know ... get to the unit at the right time, do the right things, meet the right people and you can really go places.  I know young privates that were snipers in the sniper cell with less than a year in battalion.  It is feasible that a young go getter posted to the third...

    Joining CSOR early

    You're SUPPOSED to have a minimum two years service in the CF.  BUT, last I heard anyways, when they were over at 1st battalion recruiting, they make exceptions for certain cases.  Examples were soldiers with certain qualifications, recce and para for example, and for combat vets.  Also, if you...

    M134D MiniGun for CH-146 Griffons

    As has benn said before ... The escort does not necessarily have to leave the strip with the package.  The Griffon "gunship" could leave ahead of time and meet the packet at the LZ.  Differing speeds then becomes a bit of a non issue.

    The stuff the Army issues is Excellent!

    The CADPAT combat chaps! (Vern, reference gutter, your mind, out of it.) I'm talking bib pants here people.  They rock, I am newly converted to the combat chaps.  Standing around waiting for a while?  Do them up nice and snug! Working, humping through the bush, or attacking something? ...
