    Leave - Recall and Other Issues [MERGED]

    What isn't clear to you? The "on" or the "you"? He's on his own time. If he wishes to drive when he's tired and possibly get into an accident, it's his own doing. Besides, it's within the province. No leave pass required.

    You're correct. You get into an accident, it's all on you. Regards

    Leopard 2a4m can in afghan (Hobbyboss Kit)

    Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone, but if accuracy is what you want the you have little choice. I made a replica of my tank as it was in Afghanistan and I'm at the $380 mark. Still not quite done. Regards

    Leopard 2a4m can in afghan (Hobbyboss Kit)

    You could do that but, in my opinion based on seeing similar examples, it wouldn't look nearly as good as the PSM kit. I have a contact in the industry and he has told me there is another company planing on making the barracuda kit in plastic instead of resin. That might be a cheaper option...

    Leopard 2a4m can in afghan (Hobbyboss Kit)

    Staff Weenie - that's a Leo 2A6M, not an A4M. As for the Op, yes. The A4M on tour in Afgahnistan were using the Barricuda kit with the slat Armour and were not plain green. They may have been for a very short time whilst in KAF during deployment, but I doubt it. You could model it without the...

    Cadets Joining the Reserves - Can it be Both?

    And I was speaking to that specific point, as being a member of both at the same time. Guess I wasn't being clear enough. As rwgill pointed out, I guess the rules have changed since the 80s. Regards

    Cadets Joining the Reserves - Can it be Both?

    Yes you can and its been done numerous times. One is a youth organization and completely voluntary, the other we all know what it is. I've seen it done and did it myself ages ago. The issue that arises is when member gets their priorities mixed up and puts the youth organization ahead of their...

    Primary Leadership Qualification Course (PLQ) Mega thread

    Got some info on this - not going to happen. The next version of PLQ will be a CAF wide version which will be needed for everyone, regardless of purple or other colour trade. It's basically the PLQ land version. Infantry will carry on to their own module, just like it is now. There has to be...

    The Last Days of Target

    Overpriced merchandise + lack of selection + use of old Zellers locations with same flooring/ carpets = fail

    Roman Sword found in Nova Scotia questions history of Americas

    The "Roman" sword can be bought on eBay for approx £75. It's a fraud like it was expected. There's a reason why the MSM based in Halifax didn't touch it with a 10' pole. Regards

    LAV 6.0

    It failed for bigger issues, like software issues, auto loader issues, overheating issues. The list goes on and on. I have a friend who actually used them in Iraq and they were horrible from his accounts beyond what I just listed. Regards

    LAV 6.0

    It's intended role is as a tank destroyer.  Infantry support is a secondary role. Horrible vehicle, thankfully we never got it. Regards

    LAV 6.0

    The only way you'll see a Canadian tank on the battle field is when it's ready to kill you. We don't expose our vehicles unless it's nessisary, just like George is talking about. We also shut off our engines to listen for other vehicles approaching. All we show is eyes above a crest with binds...

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    Storage is harder on tanks than you think. Seals dry out, etc etc. At least we have modern tanks again. Regards

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    Wrong. All hulls made in 1985. Storage was sub par. Barely used? Hardly. Same thoughts could be said about our subs. Stick to your arcs, you don't know shit about the tanks. Regards

    How cool is this

    We are based on the combat team for doctrine, hence tanks. You're reading someone's idea of what our doctrine should be (opinion) and not what it is (fact).
