    http://www.andreitailors.com/ This is the best around. To get something cheap, you have to know someone who is getting rid of theirs and buy it second or third hand. Regards

    Course/Qualification Codes

    No, its not entered into MITE. It has to be entered through your Unit Training Coordinator (UTC) and they will enter it in HRMS8.9 (Oracle). None of your clerks can do it either as it is a different system/ version of HRMS. Make sure you keep your certificate as proof of completing the course...

    Sabre Squadron HQ 3rd Tank

    The SSM is usually in a LAV running the echelon. The dozer tank can be given any number of roles in a Sqn and is used to augment other troops or work independently within a limited context granted by the OC or BC. Regards

    Interested in enlisting as an officer, many questions

    Lets just say for #5 - lateral movement is usually from Armd to Log and not the other way. Armour is a more demanding trade, therefore candidates that fail ARTL Mod 1 or ARTL Mod 2 usually get COT to that trade or another. Every training failure is put through the PRB process which is balanced...

    New CA Tank Destroyer (From: Corps 86's Chimera tank destroyer)

    Also, with the missile system for the T72/ 80, once the gun tube has been rigged to fire the missile, it can't fire a normal round immediately after. Kinda defeating the purpose.

    New CA Tank Destroyer (From: Corps 86's Chimera tank destroyer)

    Agreed RG. Semi indirect was practiced on Leo C1 and C2 here in Gagetown on a regular basis. Advanced Gunnery did indirect every course until recently. Cougar gunnery was the same. EO Tech - You obviously weren't in Ft Bliss when we did semi-indirect shoots in 2008. I'd say the 500+ rounds of...

    New CA Tank Destroyer (From: Corps 86's Chimera tank destroyer)

    Lets just say I'm a SME on Armd doctrine, and the tools are there for any CC to engage further out, kept at the unit IG level. It's not hard, nor is it rocket science. There are corrections and techniques available using onboard GLIĀ  and using estimated technique then to allow for semi-indirect...

    New CA Tank Destroyer (From: Corps 86's Chimera tank destroyer)

    I can tell you with some certainty that there were engagements between 4-5km in Afghanistan. I've heard of a few over that, but only rumour and not substantiated. Regards

    New CA Tank Destroyer (From: Corps 86's Chimera tank destroyer)

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but tanks can indeed engage targets out past 10km. It's not done very often, but it can be done. Besides, if we do our job correctly, ADATS wouldn't see a tank troop until its too late and too close. Regards

    New CA Tank Destroyer (From: Corps 86's Chimera tank destroyer)

    S tank was a one off AFV that was designed for the country it was used in. It was not designed for anywhere else. Then there were issues with the auto loader, the track suspension as well. Great idea, but when you're manipulating the suspension in order to get a point of aim on a target in soft...

    Cant get in contact with my local reserve unit

    RSS could be on leave or on task, therefore the unit could be on minimum manning until the fall, meaning its going to be hit or miss on getting in touch with someone. Regards

    Well-Qualified/Interested in Joining - Difficulties Getting Information - Help?

    Or even show up at the reserve unit during regular working hours to talk to RSS pers and get the answers in person. So you pulled out of Armd? Crse WO drunk in the shacks? I could possibly believe 20 or more years ago, not in the time frame you speak of. So in essence I'm calling bullshit. Even...

    Intelligence Officer / Operator

    I can tell you that there was absolutely no Int ops outside of KAF for TF3-08 with exception of one who was brought into the FOBs at the demands of the BG and much to the protests of the ASIC. For OP Athena/ Archer roto 4/0 no Int Ops left Jullian or KAF at all, nor accompanied any of the...

    You don't want other people's bloodshed on your hands.....bluntly put - the Canadian Armed Forces isn't for you. Simply put, this isn't some Scout troop you want to join. Our job is not for the faint of heart nor a pacifist either. EOD get dirty when required and I've seen them take down...
