    CANFORGEN -076/14 No personal accessories.

    Its 1950s technology with a rail instead of carry handle, green parts, and a tri-ad bolted onto it. Turns out a non-issue sling might make it jam. True story.

    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    Yep, the Brown looks a bit like the suede MOD Brown boots I have seen. Most companies have 3-4 models to choose from. Lowa http://www.lowaboots.com/catalog/elite-mountain-gtx/2108900493/8 Altberg http://www.altberg.co.uk/product/mens-desert-microlite-mod-brown/ Haix...

    Suggestions on getting something across the border

    The new limit is actually 500$. You have to sign an end user statement. My last Brownells order was just shy of 400$.

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    The liberals lost a lot of ridings in favour of the NDP's orange crush wave here in Kwebek. The cult of personality around Layton it was. The vast majority Kwebekians don't vote for rational reasons but with their emotions. Hence, they thought Layton was ''un bon Jack'' so they voted for him...

    An Arctic Army without Arctic Boots, only in Canada (From: Brown Boots)

    Thanks for the pics! We need more of those old snow shoes. They just work. Neos? Sure! It will save wear on my personal pair. New mukluks? Interesting... Mittens and gloves. Excellent. If they buy some Outdoor research gloves like in the picture and don't attempt to invent their own, I would...

    Wearing issued boots in civy

    I agree. However, some people cross the line. As I recall, I was once working for recruiting in a mall and two Pte(R)'s showed up. They were in their ''I'm an airsoft player who just joined the army reserve'' phase. They showed up at our stand and immediately engaged the guys with me in...

    Yes I did have a look once to glance at the progress of the LOTB. Very disturbing indeed.

    Woah! A C7 replacement? By the state of the other replacement projects, whoever thought of that one deserves a scolding from Captain Keen: http://youtu.be/d6qtLWwJq9U

    This warrants a Dumb and Dumber quote: ''Lloyd, just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber. You pull a stunt like this...AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!''

    lmao. The last guy I saw with the buttons done up was my CO. He also had helmet scrim on. But he is a 7 foot ex football player and I was a brand new platoon commander and I wanted to keep it that way. haha

    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    I heard the t-shirt rumour last summer over the phone while I was ordering new boots from the Valcatraz clothing store. The clerk said something about one t-shirt for every environment to save money. However, I think the US Marines successfully fielded a green t-shirt with their arid MARPAT...
