Just read this in the news.... http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20051207/elxn_martin_handguns_051208/20051208/.  This outrages me.  I am not the typical redneck NRA fan that some people may stereotype as a gun fan, but I do own a couple...  I bought 2 handguns so I can...

expat... aren't Norinco available out there for about $750?  If I need to put in over a $1000 to make a Norinco look "pretty", mays as well pay $1800 right off the bat and get a colt / armalite / DPMS... (What did you deck it out with???)

Well... when it comes to ROBOCOP, I guess I am the only one out of the loop?!?!?  I have also heard rumours about Colt and Armalite no longer shipping to Canada.  I hope this is just hearsays and that the whole thing isn't true... Who the heck is robocop anyway????

Hi all! Does anyone knows where I could buy a good (would consider used) AR15?  Doesn't matter who makes it, except the Norinco knock off.  I know of Milarm in Edmonton, and payed hem a visit, but they either have very expensive NIB, or pretty worn out used ones (still asking about $1000 for...

Hi, I would like to buy a new tactical type flashlight.  I am interested in getting one of those very powerful one to replace the typical MagLite.  Any one as any suggestions?  Also, where can I find these and how much am I going to have to pay??? Cheers

My seat will stand the crash... uhmmm hard impact...  bu the troppies' one in the back is a different story.  ;) On a different note, I would be really interested in this course, so if anyone's got some good info, please let me know!

I'll try to give them a buzz and see if we can get some support. You're right, but until the time where we will get more than 2 medics per Sqn, we will have to make sure evrybody knows what to do when someone gets a bullet...  (Something the Airforce could never imagine happening) :warstory:

I'm out of Edmonton.  I thought that while it would be next to impossible to get our members on such course, we could probably have a couple of FA instr TCCC qual'd, and we can maybe modify our FA course accordingly.  We do spend a fair bit of time in the field, and have extremely limited med...

Sorry guys for jumping in at the end of a (very well) established thread... I started reading the Army Lessons Learned on the TCCC today and I was quite thrilled about the whole thing, since I didn't know that such thing was around.  As a St. John Instructor (don't shoot me!!!) teaching in the...

I started reading the new Army Lessons Learn - Dispatches today, one that talks about Casualty evacuation.  I really like the fact that the army realizes that the good 'ol standard first aid and CPR from St John Ambulance isn't quite enough.  I hope the airforce (or at least my part of the...

And water still does taste much better from a CamelBak than from a hand-me-down canteen...  As an update, we still don't have a clue whether we are a go or not.

Only one set of wings can be fixed on the left chest.  If he/she's got any medals, they have to fit under the wings.  I am not sure exactly how high it goes (would have to check on mine).  If there are other wings, I am not too sure where they go.

SeaKingTacco, Thanks, I was wondering how she was to fly with.  I'll order one of them from Calgary today, and ask the guy to courrier it ASAP.  As for the rides, if it's a go, they will be Antonoved out there.  Hopefully, it won't crash and we won't lose precious Grifffons ;)  At this time...

Thanks all for the replies.  I looked around and I saw one from CamelBack called "stealth"; it is suposed to be low profile and kinda wrap around your back, so you can dit and wear it under a tacvest or likes.  I will probably wear it in vehicles in in the chopper, so this is the type of bag I...

Oh, BTW, if you know of anywhere around Edmonton, that would help...

Hi all! Sorry to ask about something that probably has 1001 threads on, but I don't have much time to ask.  In preparation for a possible deployement to somewhere warm (starts with an "S", it's close to India and just got flooded), I am in a hurry to find a good hydration pack.  I own a large...

I picked up a couple of good things over the years... CamelBack BFM - good kit...  works well as a "go" bag and has lots of storage for everything.  Very well organized. Holsters were my nemesis...  I must have tried about a dozen before I found one that worked for my BHP.  I never was really...

To go back to the original question...  When it comes down to getting "extra" kits, I think that there is a few rules of thumbs: - look around and ask the other "guys" - uniform is uniform (ie, don't try to change what you are supposed to wear), on the "outside" anyway.  There are many...

PViddy, I don't think they will go by Herc.  That about only worked when they went to Honduras.  It is not necessarily 24 Hercs as much as 24 Herc trips, and either way, this is not going to happen.  I assume they will call the Antonov moving company from Ukraine like we did back for the...
