I think I know which incident Haligonian us referring to; and in that particular village, insurgents would fire on us regardless of children being nearby (we had more civilian injuries as a result of their actions than friendly). If I recall correctly, the individual fixed his bayonet after the...

The problem arises when Junior/Senior NCOs mis understand that very reasonable policy and take it to extremes. I've seen a sergeant order all of his troops to remove any picture of them in uniform from facebook, to keep them out of the hands of the taliban. Of course, said sergeant had no way to...

I can tell you for a fact that the CTS ruck can securely hold one (1) 135 lb infanteer for a not insignifact duration. Not the most comfortable carry, I assure you, but nothing broke on the actual ruck!

They were always used when the PSP staff were around, but outside that, I never saw them. Seeing as the PSP staff administer the tests, the answer would be yes.

What he needs to do is not fall in to the trap of laziness or idleness. As long as he keeps his personal performance as best as it can be, while doing his part to help out "the team" he'll do just fine. The vast majority of BMQ courses I've participated in/heard stories of always fail in the...

True story. Happens all the time unfortunately. I'm definitely trying to get on the next roto as well. I'd like to do my job as much as possible before the mission ends.

You'll probably be silently discriminated against by your peers. I know it's against CF policy and all that, but at least with the combat arms guys I know (and I like to think I know a huge number) they are NOT comfortable with a person of your orientation. Again, from my experience. I'm not...

Proud to see myself and some of my buddies doing our job in some of those pictures.

The only other suggestion I can give you is to bring 'em to the shoe repair place at the Regent Mall and see what they can do for you.

I think, like all forms of PPE, it would be best used in conjuction with other systems for best protection. The best use of this I can personally imagine (and I'm no expert) is to cover areas of the body that would be difficult to cover due to the amount of flex needed or because of bulk; ie the...

Colin P, do you have sources for that? I'd love to get my hands on them.

RIP Soldier, Your friends will be missing you  :salute:

I have lots of buddies who suffer from this affliction... Unless you mean fruit, like, from trees and whatnot  ;D

All proper Copyrights and caveates source: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/04/07/rcmp-parliament-submachine-guns.html#socialcomments Watch the accompanying video... the two people reporting it have no notion of what firearms are (and admit so) and then make a couple of... unenlightened...

To be fair, some people just aren't good at push-ups, regardless of fitness. I struggled to meet the CF minimum when I first joined, and I was far from unfit, I was just unaccustomed to doing push-ups and the muscles involved. A couple of months of hard work got me well above the minimum...

Wasn't sure wether this belonged more in the B/S/T or the General Equipment forum, so I made a roll of the dice, my apologies if this would be better off elsewhere. Over the last few months of work-up training, I've put my shins through a lot of abuse, wether it be climbing over/through things...

I am likewise interested. one of the guys in my section has been wearing them about a year, and he`s pretty happy with them.

Excellent review, I'd love to get my hands on one... CoC isn't aboard though.

That's it? That's definitely worth the money... hell, where can I get in line for this?

When I brought this up I was told that using aftermarket sights that aren't in the system is considered modifying my weapon. I don't have ready access to the DIN, can someone explain this one to me futher?
