So will the move to Kanata result in an increase in real-estate sales in the Arnprior market which is commutable to the new NDHQ complex, and 'somewhat' commutable to Petawawa whereby a member can do an IR posting from NDHQ up to Pet and still be home for supper most evenings of the week? 

I was down in Ft. Benning back in Sept and stopped by a truly amazing shop:  The Soldier's Place.  They specialize in customized 1/6th scale 'toy soldiers', but provide a custom service whereby the customer can submit photos of themself all kitted up, and they'll recreate you down to the minute...

Hi Phil, Every month we select various products to put on special; sometimes they're ones we have overstock of, other times we will select our best sellers to boost sale.  This month is just happes to be the OTW shirt. Cheers, Matt

As Kevin mentioned, if we're looking for a truly role spcific Designated Marksman/Sharpshooter type weapons system, the FN-FAL isn't really the best candidate out there.  While it is 7.62, the manufacturing tolerances and operating system don't produce the best platform for extremely accurate...

Speaking from professional experience, the mil-spec CADPAT Cordura nylon is an area we could shed a few ounces by going with a lighter weight urethane coating, rather than the super heavy duty one that is on there right now.  Might not seem like a significant thing, but every ounce adds up.

The French have been in co-development of the 40mm CTWS, so I'd bet that they'd be second to the UK to adopt it if it works out.

I think what he's saying is that he had some experience where the NATO standard ammunition was prohibited from working due to bureaucratic regulations rather than practical ones.

I talked to our sewing staff about the fabric separation issue and we're going to be putting a double instead of single needle stitch where the DRIFIRE and the CADPAT fabric come together.  The upside is that it should reinforce the material and increase its strength and durability as such.  The...

DirtyDog, Thanks for the feedback.  We're continually looking at ways in which to improve our products and as such I value what you have to say. Regarding the price of the combat shirt, the cost is largely dictated by the price of the raw materials and also bear in mind that these shirts are...

Whilst in agreement in principal with what Thucydides is saying about reserve competency, the biggest issue the CFs would have to overcome is the inclusion/incorporation of the necessary EME/Log support assets at the reserve unit level which would allow any sort of 'sophisticated' vehicle/weapon...

http://www.military.com/news/article/new-ammo-slashes-machine-gun-weight.html Army Engineers at the Picatinny Arsenal, N.J.-based Joint Service Small Arms Program office have been working for the last six years on a radical approach to ammunition and weapons that has the potential to cut the...

If the recce variant of the TAPV was able to be split into its own separate program, the newly released Panhard Sphinx might make a very interesting candidate...

Are the ballcaps that are authorized for wear with NCDs an issue item, or purchased through the ship/formation canteen/kitshop?

We can largely thank the lobbying actions of big agribusiness who aim to control our nation's food supply from field to butcher's counter for such legislation that will cite 'safety' concerns for barring small scale mom & pop farms from selling their goods. Food, Inc. is a big eye opener as to...

Thanks!

Regarding Medical Officers who wear the Naval DEU, who wears the 'Scarlet' versus 'Crimson' coloured insignia? i.e. Medical wears Scarlet, whereas Dental wears Crimson? 

We're looking at doing a run of Rite in the Rain notepads in the same size (4.5" wide x 6 3/4" long) as the CF FMP notepad.  I'm looking for ideas you may have on what, if anything that would be useful to have printed on the inside covers of this notepad, i.e. 9 Line Medevac, IED Report, etc...

Received and Replied. Cheers, Matt

Slings are kinda like women and cars;  Everybody has their own opinion about what they like or perceive to be the best. With the single point bungee slings, alot of people like them for their ability to cross shoulder transition fairly easily, as well as have enough give for muzzle strikes, and...
