I'm guessing we can get pay stubs from our unit too? (from the pay clerk?)

That makes sense, however, as I said this is my first pay check today and I began working for the CF a month ago. (roughly 45 days ago) This means that I just got paid for the 15-30th on the 15th of December, but I didn't get a check on the 30th for the 1st to 15th. Are pay clerks on a...

I was a little late getting my void check in to my unit after i swore in. I swore in at the end of November and just got my first pay check now. It is hardly what I'd call retro-active. They owe me about double what I got. Do I have to talk to someone about this or wait to see if they fix it...

Hellmarch from Command and Conquer

Are you allowed to do that? And does it support the weight better/worse?

A friend of mine is getting released because he gets sea-sick below deck. Nothing serious by any means. Even I get sea sick if the conditions are nasty enough. Medical reasons seem to be really touchy with the military. I feel for you

not as big as my helmet if that's what you're thinking. It just sits on top... I can't sink it onto the helmet

I don't know whether this helps or not.. But I'm storing my beret formed ontop of my helmet (I don't have any burlap on it yet) so that it can sit on a head-like shape at least for the majority of time it's not used

The idea is that the CF licenses companies to make the gear for them. Soldiers get to choose based on the gear's previous performance and other soldiers reviews. It would operate the same as the current system. Only you'd have a choice (provided all the items are properly supplied) when you got...

yeah good point. So what's stopping them from doing this?? Other than scrapping the "Clothe the Soldier" program which they start just a couple (? how long?) years ago.

That's an excellent idea. Giving soldiers an option to choose between different makes of the same equipment by different companies. It would create competition for the companies, and ultimately better equipment for the soldiers.

Hope this hasn't been asked before, I did look. Just wondering the # of days for summer, reservist QL3 (course after SQ, right?)

one thing that someone else mentioned (this is related to cadpatting vehicles, not so much the net subtopic) is that if you were to cadpat a vehicle it would complicate matters if you wanted to paint vehicles white for winter (and from winter to temperate).

yeah but a can a cam net be used in combat? I think it's mostly for stationary vehicles right?

In terms of cadpatting vehicles I see more of an advantage if it is providing cover for infantry. At a certain distance a soldier in cadpat would be indistinguishable from a cadpatted vehicle.

http://www.gizmag.com/go/4813/1/ Something "like" this might be an option for vehicles... Or just stencils and spray paint.

couldn't you say the same for your weapon? where's my cadpat C7? How clean are people's boots in the field? Muddy and dusty black boots might be just as good cam as cadpat boots. Especially since your boots are the lowest thing to the ground and likely not paticularly visible anyways. as for...

I recently heard about the new cadpat boots that they're working on, as well as a cadpat blanket and other such things. It got me wondering whether the cadpatting might be going a little far. At what point do we need to stop trying to cadpat things? It seems like the Canadian Forces is really...

I'm in 3 Field Engineer Squadron... And yes, our instructors are excellent teachers. Being an good teacher requires many qualities and I am very pleased with my instructors. I simply assumed we would be training with the iron sights to start, then perhaps move to the optical sight. Oh yeah...

Anyone from my course visit here? (this is McLean if you're on it too) As well, for the more experienced people here... What order of focus do you do when firing a C7 iron sights? Is it Rear Aperture, Front Aperture, Point of Aim, Front Aperture, Fire?
