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

    ...and yet the main issue will remain - who will repair/ recover it? Do said reserve units have the budget for it? How about facilities? There's more to it than taking them out for a drive and washing them and no one has actually addressed that. Regards

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

    Laughable at best. If it ever does happen that the 8CH get to play with them, I can't wait to see the look on their CO's face when he gets the bill for parts and fuel. It isn't going to happen, at least not in this fiscal atmosphere. Regards

    Militarization of the police?

    I have no dog in this and I've never squared off with you before so I'm going to tell you once. Any more jibber jabber without being able to back it up with fact and you're gone. You constantly do the ol' make shit up, back down when you can't produce facts then redirect the conversation...

    courses

    Unless you're in Gagetown or Edmonton, you won't be course loaded on one. Seeing that your IP says Pembroke, I doubt you'll be considered. Kinda stupid to put someone on a course that can't be employed on it unless they are posted to a tank Sqn. It's cheaper to get DP1 candidates qualified and...

    Relinquishing rank when transferring to reg force (inf)

    I know of one that CT'd in as a Sgt when he wasn't qualified. Don't ask me how it happened, but it was sorted out rather quickly. Regards

    Odd question about...On base parking!

    Strange, I've seen the 2RCR DSM getting plates last winter of all the cars not backed in and that was in front of D57.

    Odd question about...On base parking!

    They get ticketed or towed.  Besides' if your in a leadership position, you should correct them as they get out their car if you see it. Yes, it may take a few seconds when you're in a rush, but orders are orders.

    Odd question about...On base parking!

    It is still in ROs in Gagetown and passed down on a regular basis and enforced. Regards

    "Fury" WW2-era tank movie remake stars Brad Pitt, Shia Lebeouf

    Went to his Apothacarie the last time I was in Germany to do just that. He wasn't working that weekend though. At least I got to see some awesome German countryside.

    "Fury" WW2-era tank movie remake stars Brad Pitt, Shia Lebeouf

    A sloppy commander at best. A more competent commander was Otto Carius and of course Kurt Knispel. Most of Wittmans kills were anti tank guns and not tanks.

    "Fury" WW2-era tank movie remake stars Brad Pitt, Shia Lebeouf

    Those that can, do. Those that can't, play World of Tanks.    ;) As for Sherman's able to take out Tigers one on one, there was also the Sherman IC and VC variants that had the range and the armament. Bad part was the armour on the Sherman's. It was paper thin in comparison and crews were...

    What happens after medical and interview for reserves

    Why are you asking these questions at all? Have you tried to ask them to your recruiter? Pretty sure they have the answers. While you're waiting, why don't you read the hundreds of threads on this topic that have been answered adnauseum. Regards

    Engine Room Fire in HMCS Protecteur

    More than likely an investigation is now ongoing. I would think that disclosure of the damage may go into OPSEC areas or, more likely, the RCN wants to find out exactly what happened before making an official statement. Regards

    M113 / AVGP / Bison Driver "weather protection?"

    Saw one kit in 1989 on my D&M course. It was in horrible shape and I haven't seen one since. Pretty much useless especially when you may have to button up or dismount at any time. Regards

    M113 / AVGP / Bison Driver "weather protection?"

    I drove M113, Grizley, Bison, coyote, Cougar and never saw something like that issued. It was made by someone. Wear your winter gear and mukluks and you'll be fine. Regards

    Armour regiments and what do they offer.

    Again, the RCD have a tank squadron, based in Gagetown. Your choices will be taken into consideration though, however, you will be posted where you are needed. The LdSH are undermanned right now, so it's not out of the relm of possibilities. Regards
