It's not like the issued boots have ankle or arch support anyways. They look like decent boots for flat terrain.

Is the c-16 replacing the 60? Or just supplementing battalions? Back on track, wouldn't it be unwise to make everything fighters? Is it not like going Ferrari and saying "build me a 180 mile an hour car, 4x4, bullet proof, turns on a dime. Subsequently asking "does it come in black?" Obviously...

True, it would require very strong leadership. I touched on the leadership issue in the same first post. But I may be out too lunch in some areas of it.

The above article is key in pointing out how to stay ahead of the curve. It would almost be a step ahead of "adapt or die" as you would be setting the new standard. I mentioned in my first post that failure should be utilised by the CF. Albeit mine was for a slightly different dynamic. If any of...

Sword, bow and arrow----Jack Churchill AKA "Mad Jack" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2255533/The-amazing-story-Mad-Jack-hero-took-Nazis-bow-arrow-later-professional-bagpipe-player.html "He enhanced his reputation by capturing 42 German prisoners with only his broadsword and later...

Well if it's fear of standards being dropped... Have the army rangers lowered their standards? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/07/10/has-the-army-rangers-lowered-its-standards/ Something I noticed during dp1 infantry was a lack of defined standards. Granted some stuff should be left up to...

I laminated a mist and 9 liner and taped it to the front page of my field message pad, just in case my brain s**ts the bed in a crisis. IR glowstick on para cord aka buzz saw, funny story. A guy in the fire base with me was told to be ready to signal the company to move up. When it came time...

1984 is taking awhile to get here...

While we're on this subject we should limit the speed of bicycles, no more corners on tables. Sharp knives? I think not. Someone in the government really needs to get on this! Think of the victims, I was unhappily one of them.

And now they have just lost all public credibility over America's missile defense system in Poland.

"The role of Royal Australian Infantry Corps (RA Inf) is to seek out and close with the enemy, to kill or capture him, to seize and hold ground and to repel attack, by day or night, regardless of season, weather or terrain."----and to identify the dead by any means necessary. As long as it's...

Well I think you should teach that failures will happen and it's a part of life. I wouldn't recommend teaching people to accept failure...

The guys allegedly cheating on his wife... Though stuff like that shouldn't be publicized. He has a good one on the raid of St.Nazaire as well.

Lol maybe, wait I see someone coming now! Or maybe accidentally I smartened up.

I get minus points all the time. I say what I say, do what I do because I'm young dumb and full of... Sh** My advice don't walk the line and take the minus points. Really who cares, unless you need to play to your ego. I wonder how many minus points I'll get for this lol.

I believe I just haven't seen  them. I worked with them up north and I think bolt is the way to go. I guess let's just see if the government uses common sense or gets in bed with the wrong contract to advance their political party.

That is indeed a nice build. I just don't like taking follow up shots on that action. IMO, I still think 30-06 would be the way to go with my above specifications. Plus what would the cost associated be with converting the rifles? And the only ammo I know for it uses copper cases. And the cost...

I own a lee enfield, love it to death. (built in 1943). The mag needs a new spring and that's about it. Ammo is expensive and I could see it being difficult to find in bulk for a good price. Also I'm sure replacements parts on a large scale is becoming difficult. I know Russia has a bunch of...

Honestly it's difficult to answer, we don't know your history with timings or the situation. In theory if what your saying is true, it's just another example of poor leadership. However I've never heard of something like this happening before. Nor do I know what good any answer on here will do...

It will be interesting to see how the selection process unfolds given the criticism of the F-35 acquisition.
