Hey all. My unit has an old Jeep chassis that has been sitting outside in the compound longer than I've been with the unit. I measured the wheelbase / track on it last night and determined that it is either an M38 or M38A1, can't tell what year. It has the complete engine/drivetrain, steering...

The memo route is definitely what I'm trying first, just gotta do some research into what activities we can do locally without much cost. So far, something like a long hike through the rockies sounds like my best bet. I have heard of other units getting to do paintball on the army's nickel, but...

Thanks for the reference MJP. I guess i should have googled it up myself, had a brain fart... So it looks like the excuses given by some of the people against Adventure training (reservists not covered, has to be run by brigade, etc.) are moot. I'll definitely bring this up when I have an...

Next to skin items SHOULD not be re-issued, but I know for a fact that this is not always the case. When I got my initial kit issue a few years ago, I got long underwear (waffle type) with someone's name on them.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. So, who can actually authorize adventure training? Can a unit/batallion decide when/if they are going to do it, or does it have to come down from brigade? YukonJack, where can I find DAOD 5031-10? It doesn't seem to be available on the electronic library...

Hey all, some of the lower ranks in my unit were recently having a discussion about how to improve retention in our unit. One of the suggestions was in regards to doing things like adventure training once in a while, rather than the same repetitive stuff over and over again. However, there was a...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the TV have daisy chains running all the way down the back? Doesn't this mean then, that one could easily attach an aftermarket buttpack to the vest quite easily? It's not hard to make a pack that attaches nicely to daisy chains. Just a thought from a guy who...

Hey, Michael Dorosh, I think I know the person to whom you refer. In Calgary right? anyway, his hummer is an '86, so it was a part of the "first batch" that were surplussed from the us army. They actually were not supposed to be sold to civilians, but sent back to the factory to be torn apart...

Hey, good points by all, on both the physical fitness issue, and the education. I totally agree with Infanteer about the program being a joke, as I had the same experience as you with putting in the paperwork, and not hearing a word about it for over a year and eventually just giving up and...

Hello, I am a Cfn in 14 (Calgary) Svc Bn. I am quite interested in a physical fitness program for Class A reservists, since I am by nature lazy and usually don't get the motivation to go out an exercise on my own. As was mentioned, some more details would be helpful. I am curious as to how you...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how these vehicles are going to be serviced in the reserves? By that I mean, are there going to be standard qualification courses for it right away so that local vehTechs can fix them, or are they under a factory warranty, as the rumors I've heard say? I can...
