    Mess Kits

    The spec you have listed are for the army's medical branch, they are not applicable to the current air force mess dress. As for the pic of the new and improved mess dress, I'm not surprised to see that scuffed oxfords are still the standard in the RCAF!

    THE GOOD OLE DAYS

    What BA fails to mention, there never was a successful donkey borne IED attack on the airfield during my watch. It must have been the incredible hearts and minds program that I conducted with Zubrik and his handler... BTW,  the only short arm that I looked at while in Ismailia was my own!

    THE GOOD OLE DAYS

    Leaving Pet in the middle of a snow storm for 6 month deployment to Ismailia Egypt. The ordered dress, S3 with great coat, it was so cold that I actually wore my Russian fur hat! Over the course of 24 hours, I was peeling off layers like an onion. My fur hat was left in the Ottawa AMU and my...

    Do all Med Techs do SQ?

    Cool your jets princess! Funding, fitness, availability, vacancies, sequencing, conflicts, and priorities (and a whole truck load of other factors) will influence when you undergo "SQ"...  So, YES/YES was the correct response from the Modlrmike!

    Help ID this pack

    No, I don't think so. I had a 64 pattern ruck and the cargo pack, both were issued at the same time.

    Help ID this pack

    I was issued the "cargo pack"  in 1975, and returned it, unused when I retired last year.  The weird/interesting thing about the pack was that it has a soft, leather lined tumpline strap that transfered weight from your shoulders/back to your forehead/neck! I suspect they were designed for use...

    Medical Technician's and the Combat Arms.

    I was present when a former DGHS damn near blew an ovary when she discovered that ambulances, with the red crosses concealed, were being armed with C6s. As a non-clinician, even she understood that ambulance crews had no desire in becoming martyrs in a jihad...
