I can tell you with some certainty that the TAPVs faired better cross country than the Coyotes and LAVs this fall on the crew commander course. You know there is a formula for figuring out ground resistance and the ability for a wheeled vehicle to go across soft ground right? Also, commanding...

He's been outed as a civilian instructor at a cadet camp, no previous service. The Stolen Valour Canada has outed him. Regards

All these shifts sound horrible.  /sarcasm At least you weren't being rocketed, mortared shot at every day for months on end even while "off shift". Try to keep some perspective folks....you have a bed, a roof over your head and no one is actively trying to kill you. Life is good. Regards

So, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 5 days off? Sign me up for this trade! Regards

Be surprised all you want George, but I can tell you from experience working alongside medics during a MASCAS as a trained TCCC, they just give you O blood regardless of what is on your tags, if they can be found on your body at all. You'd be surprised what happens to things on your body during...

Depends on the trade. I know for armour crewman, you have to complete your first contract - period. Doesn't matter what's going on outside either, like one of my troopers a couple years ago. "I have a job waiting".  RCAC and the Regiment - "Too bad. You signed the contract, you will live up to...

I put them in my Velcro pocket in my combat shirt. Easily found and no more worries about them getting tangled up in the tank. Regards

Specifically we figured out who the author was and did a little bit of sleuthing by talking to people who worked with him/ were his supervisor. That's the benefit of having a small tanker community. Regards

Some of it is true, most is exaggerated. Driving through a wall was an outright lie after I made a few phone calls. The RPG thing is true. They're junk and don't do anything except let us know where you're hiding. Regards

Probably for statistics. After all, the UN is useless. Regards

I've known lots of troops that have gotten their gongs gold dipped. Never heard of anyone having an issue over it either. Regards

As far as I'm tracking, the trade is red for OTs for now which means you can't switch to a different trade right now as the entire corps is undermanned. Regards

Don't bother trying to go tanks then. Thats the average weight of tanks rounds. Regards

Actually Germany and France are currently developing a test bed for the next version of the Leopard utilizing either the 130 or 140(using an auto loader it's thought). Regards

No, the actual reason was the stresses on the turret, key splitting some of the welds and the platform rock was too much beyond 45 degrees from the 12 o'clock position as well as binding the turret ring bearings. Then there was also the issue of storing rounds that were almost 5 feet in length...

The problem isn't just the ammo storage due to increased length, it's also increased recoil loads on the chassis, gun cradle, trunnions etc. The possibility of it being a true drop in modification would be slim, as it is with the new Rheinmetall 130mm gun for the Leopard 2. It can be done with...

No. They were shipped bare and wrapped up in cam as soon as they got to KAF.

Heaven forbid we get an actual recce vehicle, like a Fennek or Weisel.

Question answered kid. Go back to playing COD. LOCKED

Ungh ....recently watched this tripe called Hyena Road. Thankfully I didn't waste one cent on it. Rubbish. Should have known his M.O. from his previous work, Paachendale.
