Yea not a bad read although I do wonder if it was ever proof read before submitted. I also have a small issue when he's talking about staying abreast of the current technology when he's mislabeled the stuff he has now ie MSTAR is Man Portable Surveillance Target Acquisition Radar not Motion...

What Skeletor mentioned was absolutely correct but that was a little while ago (6 years or so). Z Bty provides the jump FOO/JTAC capability now for 3VP (and almost all the jumpers for the exercises and cas-para events) and the Mortar Tp is going to be a combined effort from A and B Bty much in...

Funny enough the US just started receiving their newest weapon, the 30 000lb JDAM, designed for deep underground facilities.

There's probably something to be said for just remaining modest and status quo I would think.

TLE I believe is one of the issues that the arty is just now catching up on, I mean lets me honest, we bought a PGM (Excalibur) without the cape to generate coords for it  and even now most people couldn't tell you the difference between a Cat 1 or a Cat 4 location. Its coming slowly and there...

Max, You should know more about weapons in our inventory than JTACs but why don't you go ahead and tell us a bit about the AGM 114K or the GBU-38v4 ? What about the SCL of B-1B ?  Why don't you tell us what a GBU-12 will do to a Grape Hut Max, thats in our inventory ? I'm not sure where your...

Nice.......its not too condescending I guess Max, you're right, it could never happen, nobody else knows anything about CAS except you.

OS, I understand what you're saying but essentially the JTAC is controlling the jet, he's just not the guy who actually pickles the weapon. Every single time a pilot drops in a CAS situation he needs a Clearance (Type 3s as well, its a Cleared to Engage coupled with a Call Engagement complete)...

I can't really think of a reason why a Controller would want to be the actual trigger puller as well, it makes sense to me that if there's a pilot onboard then why wouldn't you use them, that being said; SM, How do you know what JTACs receive for weapons trg at their units ? Why exactly do...

Hanwags are decent boots as well, almost identical looking to the Lowa's. The only drawback depending on what your looking for is the mil version comes GTX only. Agree 100% on the Meindl assessments posted above too, awesome boot !!!

I think sometimes we tend to get tied  up in the schematics of Range Declarations and if it was given or if it wasn't, how about the fact that it was theft and what he stole from the CF is basically irrelevant. Range Declarations have their place, I won't argue that but we shouldn't tie...

Just what the CF needs, another HQ. I guess with that being said we'll see shortly enough if LGen Leslie is serious about "CF Transformation" and actually chops a few of these HQ's. The CF is starting to look like the Dept of Redundancy rather than National Defence. ::)

VG, I'll try to help out a bit here. Right now once you get to the guns you'll see that even though most are gunners by trade there are almost 2 very separate and distinct roles, Gunline and OP (STA now as well). I think what you're talkng about is the OP so I'll focus on that. FOO Parties...

ASCC dictating who has priority on the a/c ? Theres a few different orgs out there who push a/c, the ASCC isn't one of them and there are already a hockey sock of freqs being used (and back-ups) so that part is nothing new. I do think though that  Mr Dave Neyland's statement trying to compare...

They've made some huge strides in the CAS department as well, its a damn shame Hornets haven't been deployed to theatre as they'de be a huge asset to any organization over there.

I have no idea what that means.

This could possibly be the best information on this entire thread forum, well said !!!

Although I'm sure the Leo's are fast I'm not sure their responsiveness can be compared to an aircraft.

3 guns will fire Quick because its the first ammunition ordered by convention (because nothing else was given except 50% Delay). 30 min for a plane to drop for you Gny ?

Make no doubt about it, I'm not a huge advocate of some of the kit the CF issues. That being said, if half the people who bitched about the kit all the time put the same effort into completing UCRs we'd be miles ahead. My 2 cents.
