Perhaps a Mk. 48 with a different barrel?  The Mk 46 and 48 were mentioned earlier in the thread as "assault MG's."  As I understand it, the Mk 48 is set up for a changeable barrel, but it's more in the way of a disposable barrel instead of the quick change barrel setup on the C9.  That isn't...

Please ensure you make this point known to those running the trial along with the other points this thread has brought up regarding this rig.  If your unsure who to bring these points to ask you CoC.  Those participating in the trial are the only chance we have to ensure that proper kit is...

In 2 instances I'm aware of it took nearly 4 years for the individuals to be recognized for their actions on TF 3-06 and they are still waiting to be awarded their medals. Whats up with that?

The river of bitterness runs deep I see. Don't forget, during the 12 hour assessment period the only thing the science wienies will be concerned about is "do you like the color?"  All other objections will be waved aside. Nothing is too good for the troops, so nothing is what they'll get.

So once again troops will have to pay out of pocket for proper equipment... Awesome. Does the release of these documents indicate that the T&E phase is over?  If not, who's trialling this rig in Canada?

Fairly simple fixes in the CF still take years... look at the WWB re-sole project.

As this is a clear ripoff of a presumably patented design, does SORD have any legal recourse to prevent this rig from being contracted for manufacture by the CF?  If this was the MoFOCR, let's say, even though you are no longer associated with them, would CP Gear have grounds for legal action if...

My thoughts... 1) The rig shown is a side entry rig... A split front rig is easier to don and doff. 2) The rig shown allows for carriage of plates. If this rig is a true plate carrier, then it's performance will be degraded if the plates are removed.  It will sag under the load of the kit...

I'd go with the TT 2 piece MAV with an x-harness and center adapter or the following reasons: 1)  You'll stay under the RSM's radar, which will also keep you under the TF RSM's radar. 2)  The 2 piece MAV is easy to don and doff and it gives you adequate MOLLE/PALS real estate.  The MoFOCR uses...

Here's a better question (at least as far as I'm concenred.)  Will the new squadron be employing missions specialists?  And, if so, who does an infantry sergeant need to blow to become one of them, if they are indeed going to employ them?

For what it's worth, the signage used in the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday that featured the artists rendering of the new facility featured a 450 Sqn crest on the flag and glass front entrance.  Now I know that doesn't really mean too much but it could be a clue.

I'm waiting for my pm as well... Hint, hint.

It's all who builds the house.  I own a home on Limestone Trail and along with being structurally sound and dry, the workmanship and finishing was above par.  There are a few reputable builders in the area and those are the only people I would buy a home from.  I'm not going to name name's in an...

Actually your talking about the new Medal of Honor game set in Afghanistan depicting actual events that occurred during the opening days of the war.  The Call of Duty games have nothing to do with actual current events, except for maybe some common locales. The MoH game was banned from being...

Have you ever deployed a CP using the old mod-tent carefour (sp?)?  My old unit's BHQ uses carefour exclusively, takes the CP about 3 or 4 hours to set up proper, a comparable time to tear down, YMMV.  DRASH is a vast improvement, IMO, over the old school mod-tent.  If you brought some DRASH to...

Here are some links for more information about the game: Medal of Honor site.  You may have to enter your DOB. Danger Close Games, the developer of the single player portion of MoH.  They are a break away group of former Electronic Arts developers, so they are a relatively new studio.  Not...

Actually, it was an M240. The Taliban and AQ characters are only playable in online multi-player modes.  Somebody has to be the bad guys.  There is no single player story-line or campaign for those characters. The controversy Danger Close games were worried about was only partly the ability...

I know an EXCELLENT custom t-shirt company out of Oakville.  Fast and friendly, a pleasure to work with.  Entripy has helped me in the past with shirts for courses I've been on.  Just send them the graphic, tell them what colour shirt and your in T-shirts within a week. I was also present on...

The flaw in those helmets is in the material, not in the design.
