    Breaching Operations & Equipment

    Breaching Operations & Equipment

    Until we invade a country that needs bridging to bring leopards across....then they will panic and buy what we had. Why could we have kept the equipment the way and layout it was say in 2000.We would be functional. Who needs tanks?Who needs a badger? I remember a certain general talking about...

    The Khadr Thread

    Caribbean gulag at Guantanamo.... You gotta be kidding me. This writer needs a history/word meaning class.I'm sure the 1,053,829 people that died in the Gulag's would have LOVED a nice break in Gitmo. Some writers should be banned from doing so.

    Army Reserve or Armoured Reserve

    A leo has the smallest fighting compartments.There is a topic on the driver height for the leo.However you can still be a gunner,and loader,C/C. Get all your career courses done in the reserves on a g-wagon.When you come in all you need to Crew command is a Turret operators course.

    Is a speeding ticket holding me back?

    if your parking ticket is prime numbers then I would worry.There is a glitch in the recruiting system that does not process prime numbers. Honestly man like I said unless it's a bad fine don't worry about it.

    Is a speeding ticket holding me back?

    Guarenteed.I say panic for atleast 2 more weeks then call in. In all seriousness a parking ticket isnt going to stop your career.Now if the parking violation was parking a dodge ram in the front of starbucks at south keys...well that might.

    Army Reserve or Armoured Reserve

    While I would have agreed with this statement say 3 years ago I think it's slightly dated.When we replaced the tankers last year they had many reservist gunners/loaders.Our tour didnt have any in the F esh but 3-4 in our admin troop.As well as the coyote troops have a lot of reservist worked...

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    "Imagine if a fundamentalist Christian soldier had shot up a room full of unarmed Muslims while shouting “Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour.” Imagine he had a fascination with Old Testament stories of how God smite his followers’ enemies. His pastor had advocated a new crusade to rid the Holy...
