I thought it was designed as a book bag...

It would be nice if someone decided that the issued small pack was garbage and decided to go MR to replace it... http://soldiersystems.net/2011/09/01/australians-issue-mystery-ranch-3-day-pack/

I heard a rumour today that there is a list of acceptable footwear being developed. Has anyone heard anything to corroborate this?

This seems to be a 5 Bde thing....

Interesting.... Improved, not new and NO MULTICAM. Although I wasn't holding my breath for us adopting it, it is really starting to look like Multicam is becoming the ABCA camouflage pattern of choice!

Why are we going all velcro when the Americans have been complaining about the velcro on the ACU since it came out?

I've seen the shirts with the 'mandarin' style collar and different pockets, the SOF guys are wearing a variant of that design and it looks pretty good but it still looks like what we're wearing now. Why don't we follow the lead of the Aussies and contract Crye to come up with a design, or hey...

I have witnessed this fervor as well. I found it pretty disturbing - they can't answer the questions, don't seem to HEAR the questions, and insist that although there will be growing pains "it will all work out in the end".... I agree that something has to be done, but is this it? I'm not sure.

Weren't they taken to court because they were using images of SF soldiers etc without permission - giving the impression that they were officially endorsing CrossFit? Some of the posts when Glassman is defending the 'brand' are pretty entertaining/disturbing. I still subscribe to the overall...

Functional fitness definitely has a place in the CF, thats why the Combat Fitness Program was created, with input from Greg Glassman and with more than a healthy dose of CrossFit philosophy. Thats why base PSP staff from all over the CF have been going on CrossFit certificatoins. The thing that...

Swingline, FWIW I think you're spot on. This is going to be very bad. I'm pretty sure its being driven forward because certain people have invested too much into it... they don't want to fail. When it all fails anyway, they'll be long gone...

117f = $$$ x 2 148 is only 5 watts, you need an amp to give it any range... extra weight, extra batteries to run the amp.  117f is the way to go...

The impression I got was that the amalgamation was going to happen on sched, everything else won't. I am not holding my breath on this one. I went to one of the briefings and CWO Symes and CWO Hohmann didn't have any realistic answers - they don't know how to make it work. Its easy to throw up...

Career managers are saying not to hold your breath on this happening anytime soon. Looks like its sliding to the right...

PM sent...

Hey, the navy and the airforce don't want their people in the SOF community to wear their tan berets with their CFs. Something about diluting their traditional dress and identities... blah blah. Anyway, imagine the upset having a SOF capbadge and unique accoutrements would cause!

I used the same networked HP Laserjet 4 in the field for 5 years without failure. We had it in a hardigg case. It was regularly tossed in the trailer and bounced all over Petawawa training area. As long as it gets put away in the case properly and is maintained/cleaned, COTS gear will be okay...

Buy small printers, portable if you need and get Pelican or Hardigg cases for them.

Is the helmet still safe to use for parachuting with this upgrade installed?

Is Canadian Average Green olive drab?
