    SP M777

    It is still a Towed howitzer, reading the articles, it portee's onto the aircraft, unloads upon arrival, and then gets towed into battle.  This is not a machine like the G6 or the DANA.

    The Shrike 5.56 Advanced Weapons System

    Seems like a great idea, toss the C9A2, give everyone these things, and have at er.  No more 10 mag nonsense, just give a guy two belts of 200 each.  Then you can use both the utility pouches on your tac vest, and fill the mag pouches with cell phones and chocolate bars.  Seriously though, I dig...

    MLVW Replacment?

    "if we are going to have a BFS to get the trucks from one place to another space is not going to be at such a premium." Another good reason for the MTVR, the USMC requested a truck that wouldn't rust.  So, the vehicle is made of some steal that is light, strong and has a high content of...

    SP M777

    The contractor that used to sit next to me was employed as a driver in the survey troop for the HJ missiles.

    Mamba's

    George Wallace, The chassis you saw at the plant was the foundation of the "Brute" which after no going into the LUVW competition became the Eagle 4.  When you compare the G-Wagon to the Eagle 4, you can see why they could not compete against each other.  The Eagle 4 is intended to compete in...

    Artillery's power

    Your house would be destroyed, your neighbours property value would be reduced, kind of a fire sale or half off special I guess.  Everything "depends".  Using different ammo produces different results.  A 155 set on delay hitting the top of a tank, would probably blow it to hell.  hitting it...

    MLVW Replacment?

    MTVR seems to be a huge leap over the FMTV, both of which are a quantum leap over the current ML.  I would figure cab over would be a bad item, mine blasts going upwards, I think that was one of the things the DEW people said tat the Demo I went to.  The way the cab is armoured and shaped is...

    My mortar gloves fit inside the cadpat ones.  They also make a great liner for the big mittens.

    small cars with good gas mileage

    Look into vehicles using CVT transmissions, they are really smooth to drive, and get fuel economy that is amazing.  I used to sell Nissan's, and the Murano with a 3.5L V6 was getting better mileage than the 4 cyl Altima.  The new civic hybrid uses a cvt.

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    They are not yet issued, I don't know what stage they are at.

    CADPAT Rain Gear

    Eventually the army will be receiving the new CADPAT "rain gear", but yes, until then the "new" stuff is OD, garbage bag.  The airforce and the army will have the same jackets and pants one of these days, and it will more likely be called something like rain and wind gear, to allow you to wear...

    New Guns for 1 RCHA...

    Streamlining into one weapon system would be a wonderful thing.  Training for every gunner would be significantly cheaper and easier.  No more TFT's for C1's, C3's, 81mm, and M109's, just one gun system.  Being able to slot a reservist into the arty portion of a BG or TF, or whatever is going...

    The green stuff is old.  The CADPAT is new.

    What do you guys think. Tattoo Idea.

    And a lot of animal symbols look strangely like the brigade patches.  One of the guys got a nice wolf on his shoulder, and then got teased as the exact same picture is on his CF's shoulder.  so wolf, research the 33 CBG, patch before you get the same thing put on.

    What do you guys think. Tattoo Idea.

    Sh0rtbUs, I think you just wanted to put a picture of your leg on the internet. Please think hard about getting these tat's done, I have non, and the wife tells me I probably never will.  A buddy on QL3 got a capbadge that filled 3/4 of his back along with the two flags of his parents birth...

    Wearing Danners and Magnums when on class A

    I really recommed the Sole insoles at Marks Work Warehouse.  If you do get magnums, then great, but if not, get the soles.
