We've been warned that going to the canex unshaven/unkempt/not properly dressed is grounds for a charge. I'm not sure where else my CoC would see me on a weekend/on leave. I can't remember the wording of the policy as it was passed on verbally, but the gist of it is "You must be clean shaven and...

We have that policy in Gagetown.

Unfortuantely, it's hard to track things like that over the long term.... Nobody's ever asked me about psychological effects since my tour (except for that 5 minute social worker interview shortly after returning), and I definitely didn't get a follow up asking me about how my regimen of...

Seems like it would be too painful to self apply... It hurts to just watch the animation and imagining it done to my skin. I'm not sure what kind of wound would be better treated by this than a tourniquet though.

I'll start by saying I couldn't think of a title that was less wordy and equally appropriate; so my apologies. I've seen snipers using them (in Canada, anyway), what it is is a device that allows you to have a camera mounted in a flip-to-side configuration behind a weapon sight/spotting scope...

I'm glad we didn't go to Iraq, only because I don't think we would have been able to sustain any involvement there logistically. That's all I'm saying on the matter.

That being said, with your blank profile we can't really cater this information to you, but of the guys I've talked to in all three RegF regiments, none of them are allowed something other than the Tac Vest. I've never carried enough stuff on exercise that the tac vest was insufficient anyway...

You won't regret it, I've never had a watch survive more than 2 months of field use.

The best watches cost 10$ at wal-mart. You don't need anything fancy, you're just going to lose/break it. If you want a compass later in your career, and you're not issued one (guess what? We're not issued compasses...) Buy a compass. You don't need one in your watch.

I've got a lot of success with the ContourHD and GoPro HD... and I know for a fact there's a window suction cup mount for the GoPro, and you can find them for 150$ if you look enough. Great little camera that one. Going off topic much?

There was actually a story about how the medical training in America's Army (which involves several classroom lectures and then classroom practical excercises, and eventually a "live" scenario) helped someone deal with a car crash victim with no other first aid/medical training...

You just described me. I do everything I can do not wear my uniform in public. You know why? Because in most places where the majority of full time pers are employed, there is a huge military population with a well deserved bad reputation. When people see someone in uniform, but off duty, they...

This is effing disgusting... I don't even know what else to say. Sounds like the RCMP are jealous a retired man did their job better than they did.

Well as someone who works in vehicles a lot of the time... the Short Barrel/folding stock is a godsend.

"2 man recce tents" are really 4 person tents, are they not?.... they've made us fit in them if it's the same tent... I saw some in a bin at Prefair in Beloeil

I've heard the same thing from a few people, but I wouldn't trust those particular people with disassembling a C7 unsupervised. If it was really a major concern, I'd expect there to be a safety bulletin and a mandatory brief on it, like when it was discovered that people over a certain height...

If you want to study the PERFECT book is a "Public Service Exam Prep" book, the one I used was basically exactly what the CFAT is... it was a perfect study guide. Worth every penny.

A lot of guys can't figure that out until after two marriages and declaring bankruptcy... Seriously, be really careful around here, there's a lot of women out there to scam, or accuse you of illegal things. be wary.

The guy with the most gucci on his weapon on my tour was a Lisason Officer who never left the wire... the only thing left from the C8 was the reciever and barrel I think. He couldn't figure out how to zero sight after 7 mags, funnily enough.

As much as I'd love to have those features, I think for Rifleman #3 many of them might not be worth their weight. Also: Batteries. We had enough trouble keeping NVGs, Surefires and PEQs running without adding thermal/night sights and LRFs to all our weapons. The Elcan is a good sight, I dislike...
