It is entirely in German with subtitles and obviously enough cover the whole of the battle from two buddies in the thick of it. Very brutal for...

    Rank recognition made easy

    A colonel had a grenade go off by his head and he had to have his ears removed. After his rehabilitation his superiors decided it was best that he had an assistant, from any branch of the military that he saw fit. After going through dozens of applications he came to three finalists, and invited...

    Massive tsunami kills 150,000+ in Asia

    This is a truly horrible incident. It is a shame that our government is busy trying to pass the buck... However, could this be an aftershock from the earthquake that happened near Tasmania? (8.1??) http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,11777911%255E662,00.html And where...

    Combatives for infantry?

    http://www.russianmartialart.com/ spetznatz... I hope I spelled that right... the theory behind it is simple... rabbits don't fight like bears, wolves don't fight like cranes.... why should humans???  Pretty interesting stuff. Joe.

    question on preparing for basic (intelectually)

    "and we as canadians have a HIGH potential.." That may be the reason why the brass in the French Foriegn Legion likes us so much.... As for the training, I forget the persons quote exactly but it is along these lines... "Train hard, fight easy. Train easy, fight hard, lose, die." And it is...

    IS THIS A GOOD IDEA??? IF SO...

    Great idea!!! I'd be on that like a fly on ... well you know the rest... however, northern Alberta to Missisauga is a bit of a hike.... I tried that with a few guys at work and just ended up waiting for them to get to the meeting point. There was always something... I found that this site...

    Becoming a Combat Engineer Thread - Merged

    yeah, I tried the recruiting site and I have spoke with the recruiter , they both say the same thing, with nothing indepth, maybe I'm just figuring that there is more to it. If there is I'd like to know. If not then... there isn't.

    Can I return my combat boots

    When I was in cadets I was issued a pair of parade shoes that would not take a polish and it would just flake off. A buddy of mine told me to soak them in cold water to get all the crud out, then let them dry out by themselves (no radiators or open oven doors...) then just start fresh again by...
