Skeltor In ref to your question to CH I can probably help out a bit. The OMLT absolutely does have FACs, not every roto has gone with one though due to various reasons that I won't air out on here, some units have had to get "creative" in filling the positions because I'm not 100% sure if the...

Well said Loach, theres actually a small fight to change the name to JTAC just for that reason and because most of our Coaliton partners use the term JTAC vice FAC as well.

Skeltor As of now probably 80% of the FACs we have in the Canadian military are Cbt Arms with a majority of that number from the artillery trade. The problem with controlling is not getting guys on the course, its having them stay up to date on the qual runs they need afterwards. Its not a...

Just throwing in my 2 cents here, you could easily debate the merits of CMTC however I'm inclined to agree more with Cleared Hot and his perspective, at some point the C of C has to say their troops are GTG and thus become further down the chain WRT a PTA. What I really have a bit of a problem...

I'm thinking maybe DCS, Link16, LST and ROVER might have been a few of the upgrades :).......maybe

I agree wholeheartedly although I will say hes right on the civilian casualties, there have been times whereas weapons ie 82RCL, have been spotted with various assets and would have looked nice with a GBU-12 dropped on them.

X-Mo Yea I believe it actually came out in a CANFORGEN was either last week or the week prior.It was obviously on the chopping block awhile ago but has since become official.(that the whole thing is scrubbed)

Buzz As I mentioned earlier, you guys are doing some good work, I have no beef with that but 1 Armoured JTAC in 7 tours doesn't really do justice to your argument. The good news is, you now have 2 current FACs in the Armoured Corp, the bad news is, very soon both will belong to Artillery...

DiggerHale You have every right to be proud of your trade, the Armoured guys are doing some good work "over there", what you shouldn't do is comment on things you obviously know nothing about ie the Artillery. Who exactly do you think is calling for these rds that you're talking about ? For...

Hey, speaking of sarcasm Either way, it doesn't really matter to me, just pointing out the obvious.

Jammer I think you need to re-read the article, it clearly states in there that the Mayors office was notified of the flypast and I would venture to guess that the White House knew about this as well. I highly doubt that the back-up plane to AF1 goes flying without the approval from the...

This is good but maybe a bit of window dressing really. To think that detailed maps of Kandahar don't already exist that are capable of generating Cat 1-3 coords would probably be a bit of an oversight. Maybe its to generate maps that are releasable to all nations might have been a better way to...

Its kind of funny Dawn Black would make a big deal of this, shes not even the official opposition. If she wants to talk about a waste of taxpayers money I'd suggest she should look at her glorious leader Jack and then a quick glance in the mirror. da-not sure how equipment depreciates over a...

Seen "guys" with them, you can believe me when I tell you that the weapons aren't any shorter with the silencers on them than the C-8 HBs are and I never saw any that didn't have that little attachment at the front ;)

Once you get there(the artillery) if you end up with the FOO parties you'll spend alot of your time working with the infantry guys and in theatre you'll probably be with them (the infantry guys)more than anyone else. There used to be perhaps a little animosity when you would go there but the...

Nice pics Deh :cdn:

G2G Although I've stated alot earlier in this thread as to what I think when it comes to comparing different radios I'm not really sure I understand what you mean when comparing the 148 and 117F, the only difference I can see really is besides weight the 117F is a lot more capable(UHF,VHF...

RIP Trooper

Alright, I'll try I don't think the Observer has to order 5rds FFE, he already knows he's getting that as do the batteries because being good FD guys it was ordered and then read back on Comd which the Observer is on(because it Reg't msns)it would only be redundant to do it again. In a trade...
