THere is no methodology behind the WODs. Coach Glassman refers to it as a 'black box.' People do the exercises and they get super fit but as to why it works... ?! (its nothing new, as eyre mentioned - just packaged differently and made into a sport) The WODs are made up by people on the...

I dropped from Sgt to Cpl (QL5B) when I transferred. Its the price of admission. I agree with you Geo:

I believe that this took place at the FSSF reunion in Helena, MT. http://news.soc.mil/releases/06AUG/060821-01.html

When I was in Bosnia in '95 the NRL in Primosten put the pig on top of the log antenna. Since it was like 80' high and attached to a 10k transmitter that was used often it was pretty safe... That was when the Ronald McDonald from the Kingston McD's was there as well and the 4 NRL dets used to...

Well said GO!!! especially: This thread is pure entertainment!

117's were purchased for the TF quite some time ago. I've seen pictures with the TACSAT antenna mounted on a LAV. So I would say that the TF is using them overseas as we speak. Also - I don't recall there being an IRIS piece of gear that has quite the capabilities of the 117... I would just...

c_canuk - are you on the GDC payroll or what? Do you work for the LCMM or something? I've never heard anyone toeing the TCCCS/IRIS party line like you are... I have to agree with the guys above - the system is workable but it is shite.

My camera-fu is not very well developed. Hopefully the pic shows up.

I have some, when I get a chance I will post them. I'm sure that there will be tonnes on the combat camera site and there was alot of media coverage there so keep your eyes peeled...

It was an excellent show - well done to all on parade!

I hear that its going to be quite the show  ;)

There are several Sig Op and technician positions both at the support unit (CFSU) and the AWACS detachment. There are also some other sigs positions in the Netherlands with the NATO alternate HQ.

There was a good bit about this on Ontario Today on CBC Radio 1 at lunch. Sally Armstrong (author of: Veiled Threat: The Hidden Power of the Women of Afghanistan) was on and said exactly what you referred to MCG. That the mission is progressing as it was planned and that it wasn't the...

BKells, if you are going to the gym, show up in PT gear if you want. I come in every morning in my PT clothes, go to the gym and then work. At the end of the day I throw on my: and go home. No one has ever said anything to me. The rest of the guys that I work with do the same. I've gotten...

Read about TACLANE (KG-175) and AltaSec (KG-250). They are also IP encryptors. Alot of the stuff you guys are talking about is already in production/use. The system I described earlier was used in Iraq and I believe it still is. From what I was told, the troops using it would move into...

Harris (but of course!) makes type-1 encrypted 802.11 devices: http://www.govcomm.harris.com/secure-comm/ There is also a good artice at Signal magazine (the AFCEA publication): http://www.afcea.org/signal/articles/templates/SIGNAL_Article_Template.asp?articleid=1000&zoneid=163 a_majoor...

The system was designed starting in the late 1960's and production started in the early 90's. It was intended for use in northern Europe... We're not the only country that has ended up with a system like this. The Germans have a battlefield microwave system that uses gigantic repeater towers -...

I've heard that too. General Leslie mentioned that comms gear was a priority. I'm pretty sure that you will see more 117's and probably MBITRs start coming into the system. I hear that the army has a bunch of heavy satcom gear too - enough that they could push it to the BN level! If it really...

I have the email floating around somewhere... If I find it I'll send it to you! I was concerned originally because of the acting lacking - because there is no 6A course. Now that it is fixed, I don't see how they can make us do it  ;) (although I'm sure they'll find a way). I'll ask the mangler...

Sounds very similar to the res QL6A that I did in 1997. It also sounds similar to what was run in 2000. I know that what has happened this year is that all everyone promoted to Sgt was initially acting lacking, but the career shop has changed that so all the Sgts are all now substantive (I'm...
