That's a really cool article, thanks! I haven't finished reading it yet, but it seems to be about tactics, if it wasn't more clear; I am more curious about the technical side; You can do indirect fire with a C6 and with an Vickers gun. How do you do it with a C1/C5 or a M2 .50 cal? I can't see...

I am curious about the continuity of Sustained-fire and indirect MG capability in the CF over time. Clearly we had it in the Vickers and we have it in the C6, but did the C1 and C5 have a similar capability? If not how did we retain it in the C6? So few nations utilize this capability in their...

it's hard to even know where to start. The obvious question is that; if anyone below the age of 30 thinks this way, is it because we are already inoculated with violence and see it as normal? if that is your position, you may as well stop reading. One of the things that really gets me about...

What weird is that at heart they seem to view people as "essentially good" in a bad system, without giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. So; we're all good people, but we need lots of rules and watching. I think you get farther, with better ideas if you understand that human beings are...

There are alleged to be tunnels going all the way to highbury from ASU london. My friend's mom's company had a contract to lay fibreoptic cable through them, but the army would not give them a map for security reasons. This was ages ago now. Out back of my old apartment was a huge concrete box...

These are very small for walkways and large for infrastructure access. They are in the basements of the Royal School building, Sergeant's Mess and Junior ranks, that I know of. Several people have told me of the huge amount of earth trucked in to fill the tunnels where they built the parkinglot.

Do we want the American ones?

More the permanent tunnels interconnecting different buildings on some bases. Ie/ I have heard many rumours about tunnels in Hamilton and ASU London has many cemented-in/over door-shapes in the basements.

Hi there. I am hoping someone can direct me to any pictures, personal recollections and general info on Military tunnel systems in Canada. It seems this was quite a fad back in the day. I know some of this stuff is probably still classified, but hey maybe I get lucky.

Well that's fascinating! Will it include levels dealing with siege law; awarding points for turning back starving civilians with gunfire? Can we have a little flashing icon when one of the many instances in which the Geneva convention does not apply to an enemy comes up? "There are way too...

While I totally support the war on drugs, I question why the military needs to be involved in a law enforcement matter? This is very philosophically dangerous territory and IMO; we are best leaving the cops to it. We already have a paramilitary police force in the RCMP, they can spend their...

i wouldn't trust a plastic frame, especially in the cold

Hi, I used to have CFPAS, but my latest computer crash seems to have done for it. I can't remember how I got it before, but now it seems I need a password to download it? Anyone know of a better, faster route? or could just send me the 19meg-ish file? Thanks very much and I'll be sure to pay...

Did you guys seriously not know that was exactly what he meant? Or did you need to burn off the snark budget for the day? To answer the question posed; I think it will be bad, very bad. Massive budget cuts, irrevocable loss of infrastructure and capability in favour of an "expanded focus" on...

Thank you, this has all been very helpful.

really glad i found this thread

sorry for not updating this. My buddy finally passed his final fitness test and is graduating later in the month.

Lol, sounds like my buddy's brain is just about done for after basic. Thank you for the help, this is just what I needed.

Is there a resource somewhere to verify that?

I have a buddy graduating on the 19th of july from basic in st. Jean quebec and his fiance wants to come see him. It's much cheaper to book a hotel room a month in advance, but she isn't sure when he will have time to see her. Apparently they normally get a night/day off the week before the...
