If the is the overall message you got from my post, I apologize as it is incorrect. All jobs go out the door. Does every trade go for 6mons to the 'dangerous' frontlines of the Gan? No. The navy goes seaside a lot, the airforce seems to go everywhere. On the flipside, say you aren't deployed...

As for the original Q, you have to look at a lot of things. Sure, you may be deployed for 3-9mon overseas in a country like Afghanistan. That may not sit well with the fiancee. Logically, you may wanna choose a trade that rarely goes 'in harms way on the frontlines'. Maybe you choose a job that...

As Mr Seggie said, you'll most likely be looked to for leadership. That may not even be the 'should we do a frontal or flank attack?' army leadership but rather 'Well, I could go down to the ranks with the guys or stay and do my station jobs first like 'Blacksmith' does'. We are all new at the...

Phew, no hatemail when I came on today. On Mr Seggie's post, the thing I like about the GWagon is that you have a driver and -maybe- a gunner for the vehicle. LAVs require those plus a Crew Cmdr which means more people are needed outside of the dismounted attack. This is probably just my Light...

Over the year of the war, one thing I did learn is that no matter how 'bomb resistant' or armoured you make a vehcile, the enemy will just make a bigger bomb and all you accomplish is slowing ithe vehicle down due to an increase in weight. Even though I, myself, was bombed in a G Wagon, I still...

Just an opinion here, but in my opinion, the LUVW was bought and offered the 'get through narrow streets' advantage. However, many CF members were dying due to IED issues in said vehicles. Therefore, the vehicle of choice beame the Nyala/RG chasis. This become cyclical as after we get the big...

I saw this happen but did not realise that I could attribute it to MW3 coming out.  :nod:

As a troop-a-loop, I kinda get tingly-excited at the prospect of this. I am fully aware that if I was on said patrol, I would probably be cursing myself for being originally excited though. +1

Thank you for edumacating me and showing me that we have it 'special' in the Army. Hats off for you navy folk and closing the book on me making any comments about navy things again.

RIP MCpl

Okay, this is my army answer so take it with a grain of salt. With your initial training courses, you are CB'd for the first few weeks of the course. Usually, after you have passed some benchmark, you are granted weekends where you can go out and have the weekend on the town (with exception...

2. I do not believe so. I was in Wainwright for 10mon on various PAT/Training matters and our married members were not allowed that. The member had to pay out of pocket to have his wife come down for the weekend (if we had it off). In the ten months we had 2 leave periods (Xmas and spring break)...

I am particularily liking this game a lot (even with the threat of MW3 on its heels). I am finding it balanced but I am sure that will change in a few weeks when all the gamers who have no job and sit at home all day have learned a few glitches and band together. *sigh* It seems most games...

Forgive my possible ignorance here, but isn't the case with copyright laws that if you use the original material in a composition IOT make something new, then you are not breaking copyright laws? I thought that was the rule protecting musical artists that sample each other or digital artists...

Thank you for enlightening me about AA roles everyone and I apologize to MCG for my comment about gas-operated MGs. No offense was intended.

Also.... Do we still need a MG to carry out AA abilities? We aren't having random Stukas out on a hunting patrol strafing the front. The aircraft now are much faster and to a point where (I believe) MG fire by an infantry soldier would be inaccurate. I believe that having an HMG in the AA role...

So, logically speaking, if you have a high RoF, you'll have a high number of rounds fired and thus a quicker buildup of carbon fouling. I know RoF doesn't directly cause carbon fouling, but you do have an increased amount of rounds going down the chamber. RoF+ just causes the normal carbon...

Not that I am a WpnsTech or anything, but wouldn't having a MG which is gas operated holding a RoR of 1000RPM have a significant issue with carbon buildup since the CF doesn't use the highest qualist ammunition that burns cleanest? Just asking an honest Q

Touche. Guess I best get a good pair of boots so I can 'hump dem guns'. Something inside of me is really against personally being dependent on a LAV. I'd rather hike for 4hrs than ride up and jump out of a LAV. Just my own personal opinion. You may start the 'LAVs are great pieces of kit!'...

What about the rest of the non-LAV folk or even the non-RG folk? EDIT: Removed irrelevant statement
