The new layout is sexy, however, is there an option or can there be an option to display the old one?

Does anyone know if they have civvie GPS these days that allow you to use the Differential Global Positioning System, by say giving the GPS a corrected grid off a map for a set point, reducing the accuracy of 3m to the cm or even mm range?

Yes there is, and the team has been broken down to around 12 candidates.  I know 2 guys who have made the this number, one of whom has dropped out. At a date closer to the event the team is supposed to be cut down to I think 6 guys. When my unit was briefed on the tryouts, it was also...

True, but the enemy wont make every bomb huge either. It's better to be able to survive most attacks rather than none of them.

M. Sparks. I recommend that you speak with the recruiter that you have dealt with so far.  Many of the people on Army.ca are very very knowledgable, however when dealig with your career, I personally like to speak with someone in person, it will allow you to get that much more information. I...

I suppose it can play a a role in recce. It's a larger vehicle than the Gwagon and iltis, which can limit it to what ground it may cover.  However, the large amount of protection and the controlled gun IMO provide some nice advantages. I think it could be suitable for open terrain where the...

It just means more DISMOUNTED patrolling, which I enjoy more. I'd rather be walking around on a patrol, then be in a milcot trying to pretend it's an iltis. Unless it's raining outside.  ;D

Check out www.oneshottactical.com They sell good stuff there, and it's a Canadian buisness.

News from my CO, this is in regards to my unit, but I suspect it will effect every armoured regiment in atleast LFCA. Due to the requirement for more C&R LUVW's in afghanistan, we won't be getting our allotment scheduled for January.   It's thought that the new allotment day will occur sometime...

They are usually run in the summer in meaford for LFCA. Generally one serial of 2 courses is run in august.  The course is 4 weeks long and ends just before CAC.

Oh SHIT!  :P that's embarrasing!  I learn something new everyday! I have a Magellan Meridian. I have both displayed at once because I'm just to lazy to reconfigure the display whenever I get one of the other datums.

Allan, I have my GPS to display 2 grids at once.  Both of them are 6 finger grids, one is for Nad27 and the other for Nad83, the only two datums I've seen on DND maps so far.

Radio Shack in Canada is called the source now. Circuit City bought Radio Shack Canada, but kept the Radio Shack name for a while. The US Radio Shack sued Circuit City (I suppose they bought the stores but not the name) so they renamed it to the source. The Source was the name of the...

2Bravo, thanks for your post. I know where your coming from where sleep deprivation affects performance.  I spent a couple of weekends on my DP2 never sleeping once, standardizing peoples kit all night.  Looking back I think I was a fool because my academic scores would have likely been higher...

3rd Horsemen, your saying then, that with an average amount of students who fail the various mods for personal reasons, stress is placed upon the remaining candidates? I understand that candidates can fail leadership courses because they couldn't not meet the expectations given to them.  So...

Thank you everyone for your posts so far. I have taken many of the posts here into consideration while attempting to design a stress mechanism for use on the subjects. Subjects would be performing tests under time constraints, which in itself would present some degree of stress.  I do believe...

This paper is causing ME psychological stress. Crappiest assignment ever. Everyone, I don't mind this thread going off track a bit.  The discussion of candidate stresses on course, and the debate of how they are taught has been interesting and will influence the final product of my...

Please, I started this topic to discuss psychological stress on course, not who demoted who. Since leadership courses have come into the picture, do instructors tend to place more mental stress (having to apply leadership) then physical stress?  How do most candidates tend to react to the...

KevinB, we still have troops in the butts changing targets, I did it on my PW3 shoot. I didn't really find it stressful.

Thanks for the correction, there are more than just marks on the line here. The Teacher had announced that the person with the best research proposal will get $200 from her.  She said to think of it as the research funding.  :D
