Well, we march on our stomachs, so it pays to have good, hot, and tasty IMP‘s. I must be a freak when I say that I actually do enjoy most of the IMP‘s, so long as there is no ham steak or mushrooms involved, I‘m happy with it. In my unit we almost always get heater bags and I make a point to...

Did you guys notice his CF kitbag in the first movie?

My advice? One word, three syllables: ALCOHOL And lots of it. Just don‘t drink too much to the point where you can‘t get it up. ;) Tyler

Oh, one more thing. If there is a Canadian Tire or camping supply place near you, get some stuff called "Camp Soap". It‘s green in colour, about $3.50, and comes in a squeeze bottle. By far it‘s the absolute best stuff to use when removing cam paint, nothing that I have used so far can beat it.

As for helmet scrim, get some. When things get close in dense brush, a bare helmet (or something similar) is all it takes to expose you. The helmet cover might be CADPAT but it is still very shiny. Helmet nets should be standard issue and most QM‘s should have rolls of ‘hessian‘ (coloured rolls...

Thanks Bruce, much appreciated. :)

WOW!, amazing site, thanks for the link. It tells me all of the streets/HY‘s I need to use and the distance to travel. However, there is one slight problem: It tells me that driving through NY state would be faster when it isn‘t. :eek: WTF? Don‘t you think driving through Syracuse NY is a...

This summer I‘m going on a tasking to CFB Petawawa. I live in St.Catharines and I would like to ask the more experienced people here on the best way to get to Pet. Since there are about 20 different ways to get there, which one is the fastest/easiest/has less traffic? Anyone who lives in the...

Okay, we were briefed last parade night by our Coy Commander about the Afghanistan situation and how it applies to us reservists. Basically: * They are only taking 50 P.Res pers. from across Canada on Roto 0, 12-14 of which will be from 31 Brigade * The minimum qualification is a QL4 Drivers...

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 2.62 Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.54 Right-wing libertarian, just where I want to be. :)

Bah, screw all that other crap! ‘Operation Flashpoint‘ is the greatest game ever! I tried the RavenShield SP demo, and it seems like a good game, but I hate all of that pre-planning. I‘m really waiting for SWAT 4, SWAT 3 was an excellent police style game, and all of the planning is done on the...

Eyesight shouldn‘t be a problem at all. So long as you can see 20/20 corrected you will be fine. The only thing that they might turn you away for WRT eyesight is colour blindness, they do test you for that. My vision is horrible (-5.25, both eyes) but I got in with no problem. I have a pair of...

I did my QL2/3 and did a QL 4 MG course, and I am slated to take a "DP2a" course this summer at Meaford. Does this mean that I can‘t be a Corporal under the new system? Or can I still get promoted because I qualified under the old one? Tyler

I don‘t know why this is always attributed to Rick Mercer, he has been off the show "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" for a few seasons now. Colin Mochrie was his replacement and I watched him perform the skit on the show. Just more eletist Canadian crap comedy trying to convice us that we have a...

Not entirely true. I beleive that we will be relieving the German and Dutch U.N. presence in Kabul. This will be a U.N. mission and there will probably be a few ROTO‘s. I got a call last week from my sect. IC asking me if I was interested in going, so did everyone else in my Coy. I said yes and...

Some ideas were good, others not. * I wouldn‘t take the 60mm mortar out of the infantry Coy‘s weapons det. Relying on another unit to take care of a crucial asset like mortar will lead to delays in getting bombs downrange. *Relpacing all of our ‘real‘ artillery assets (SP 155mm and T 105mm...

I haven‘t heard anyone from 31BDE sound off yet, so I just thought that I‘d mention that the Lincoln and Welland is in the same position as some other units in 32BDE. We have a total of 5 parade nights from January untill the end of March. There won‘t be any trips south either. It wasn‘t this...

Thanks for clearing that up humint, I got that info from a visiting Finn. He might have meant taxes on something else, it was a while ago, I‘m not sure. Right you are. The national ethos of this country tends to fall to the socialist side of things, IMO. It all depends on individual opinion...

What‘s with the hostility? WOG‘s don‘t operate on the frontline, what do they need CADPAT for? The deadly office environment? Combat arms should get first draw of new kit. First: ops, then reg, then reserve. @ Muskrat: We were all in the room when Brg Gen. Leslie was talking to the execs. I...

Same old socialist sh*t pushed by the Liberals and similar creatures. Leftists blame the ‘gun lobby‘ for the failure of the registry, and they want to keep the ‘defence lobby‘ from getting too much money. It‘s never their fault for poor decisions and funding, afterall. We can really scare off...
