Librarian is absolutely right. I passed mine up in straight to my OC as per his request, he tweaked it with his military writing skills and sent it BACK down to me.  I then submitted each of them with photos of the fault, and photos of possible replacement along with contact info of the...

At least three proper UCR's went up just in my Company.  The form is on thie DIN, you just fill it out and e-mail it up.  We also put up some on the tri-rail and the Ambidex safety IIRC.  The more well articulated UCR's they get from troops who used the kit on ops the better.

George,  The South African National Defense Force is not the SADF of pre 1994.  Their policies regarding assistance to outside nations and their bold practice of pre-emptively fighting wars before they reach South Africa is gone too.  Admittedly I only searched for a couple hours on the net...

Phil is on the money about what gets in your rig.  Anything you pull out of a pouch on a tac vest or a chest rig MUST be for killing. No cam stick, foot powder, socks. Put all that crap in a small pack, including the rainjacket..  Don't put it in your pockets either, it will only chafe through...

I am with you on the erosion of rights with regard to firearms law.  You are right out of it however on pre-deployment testing.  We are doing it to PREVENT an accident.  Use may not equal impairment but it does equal flagrant violation of Canadian and military law.  Its screening plain and...

Greg, order a 40mm belt from Tactical Tailor now.  Email www.davesarmysurplus.com if you don't see it on the site.  Your section will likely get 2x C8FTHB and if they are smart they will give them to the m203's like our chain did.  I got a loaner prototype  belt from icetactical but I haven't...

College, College, College.  Or throat punch. Your choice. Seriously though, Reg force will always be there.  I have been in your shoes.  I left college unfinished to come back to the Reg Force.  I don't regret the Regs, but I do regret not finishing school.

My bayonet never left my barrack box.  I-6 got me a nice folder a couple years ago for X-mas that  opens my rations real well.  I just don't hold with humping any piece of gear no matter how small or light that 's only purpose is to get me a posthumous award.  Nobody is ever going to let you...

First week in theater in february bought a Camelback motherload in old American desert pattern,  because of the molle all over it and the clamshell opening.  The shoulder straps are long enough to be in the right place even over armour and set wide enough apart at the top.  Radio fits...

Awesome mods to make the vest serviceable. Now, those are spot on mods so get on the DIN, fill out the on-line UCR and document these mods as possible alternatives (include the pics and manufacturers of the parts and submit it through your ADJ).  Seriously, the more well thought out UCR's they...

There wasn't even a standard for FAL 7.62mm x51 mags between the different countries making them..  Perhaps they should standardize M14 mags as stanag for 7.62mm.  No highjack intended, just a thought.

Between Feb and April 2006 I saw many non-infantry types wearing the old Bosnia era jean jacket Load Bearing Vest in desert cadpat on KAF. As my unit wasn't in KAF much I never did figure out how large scale the item was issued. 

We call those kit racks  "Battle Buddies"  They are a bit creepy in the middle of the night on mefloquine.  Like a psycho munchkin army.

Do I have to count the years I lived with Infidel-6, reading over his shoulder calling him a geek for spending all his time here? He eventually forced me to get a laptop although he sprung for a router.  We NEVER pm'd if we were within yelling range.

Back to the post about the career implications of having only had the opportunity of one tour vs. a guy who has two or three before the "new rule". THE GUY WITH ONE OR NO TOURS ALREADY GOT PROMOTED PAST THE REST OF US WHILE WE WERE GONE....AGAIN

How dare you refer to the M1919 mg as old.  Just for that I will NOT identify this vehicle until you refer to the it as the VENERABLE old M1919.

I have two long branch #4 mk1* that I just might take to P &D tomorrow and have that checked. I dont reload .303 brit but they digest federal hunting loads and group well. I will take them to the range and get some hard fact group sizes next month. I'll send bore diameters soonest.

Alot depends on how ammo is stored.  More than we usually realize.  Extreme hot storage does weird things to powder inside casings as does cold.  If you store a bunch of sleeves of ammo under a tarp in the sun for a couple weeks and then put it in a cool Sea container or vice versa you will have...

Bunk in the BAT before turning ammo in.
