Looking at pictures on a laptop, some of the guys had noraml TW or OD  or other NATO camoflage on, some had more urbanized clothes.  Thety were scattered around in all kinds of places, and the goal was to find them and click on them as quickly as possible.  Ranges were from right in front of...

On a side note, I did a NATO urban ID challenge yesterday, the only guy I kept missing was th one standing on the rail car next to a mortar.  I have no idea why I couldn;t find him, but eventually I got it. This was a where's waldo style trial, find the troop as he hides in a blown out city...

I really enjoyed the book for about the first 15, but after the india books came, I started to notice the decline in adventure and the increase in "I can pick up the book and open it to any page and know what is going on"  Now they make great toilet books, but not great relax and read books...

Just figured the way everyone was trying to locate them, people wanted to knock the squirrels out of them and fire them up.

Why bother with rebuilding the originals, they hulls would be ancient by now.  Why not just take the "MTVR" pickup truck version, knowck down the cab a bit, and toss an RWS on it.  Did they not cancel that part of the TLAV order?  I would figure that means there should be some good condition...

That is what was asked for.... Got some of their products around the office now, pretty friggin swanky.  But from the people that trialed it, it isn't the end all in Load Carriage options.  Still light years ahead of current, imagine, two seprerate systems, that mesh perectly into one. I...

The way old becomes new again, I fgure it is only a matter of time beofre the inf get their tubes back.  The 50's came back, the tanks came back, 155 guns came round( after the nonsense MOBAT was turfed).  A bunch of peace time ideas failed now that fighting is going on, thnakfully the problems...

I'll aska round here on Tuesday and see if I cna find someone that knows a bit more about where they are and what they are doing.  Everything old is new again, so why not some of this.  Just cause it is dated doesn't mean it is crap.  From Air mattress to to tanks, some times stuff just lasts.

There are two Lynx sitting behind a shed at the old LETE.  I saw them last year when I went to the MSVS Demo day.  I crawled around them and htey seemed to be in OK shape considering they were just sitting in the open.  At least there was nothing living inside them.  I wondering if the 30...

If firing excalibur rounds reduces the need for Air power firing precision weapons, then this is a prett good deal, no risj to friendly life, no risk to a 50 000 000 dollar plane, no fuel, no 500 000 dollar missle, just a 150 000 dollar bullet.  Sounds very fiscally conservative to me.  Aren;t...

700 bucks is the range of a 105 HE shell, Hopefully the MND will just say "Jack, how much is an afghan life worth to you?"  These rounds are accurite to within 10 metres and have a range of 40km, Current rounds, even when fired by the Lav FOO vehcle, with MET, and all the computers and GPS...

http://operationobjection.org/war-free-schools/handbook.pdf On page ten it tells you how to organize your protest, appearantly the people organizing these events are "slower" than the rest fo the population Insert here "Students shouldn't have to kill or die to get an education," says (local...

http://operationobjection.org/war-free-schools/index.html Onre of these posters got me thinking, click the one with the WW1 grav markers and comment on whether or not it makes sense.  An exit strategy?  I though we had already executed it for that particular conflict, but I may be wrong. And...

The newer bivvy's, made with "Stead Air" are nowhere near as water proof or repellant as the old Goretex ones, to make life a little easier, place your old tatty issue cotton scarf on top of your mattress like it is a sheet, place your bivy and all sleeping kit on top of this.  You Bivy will...

Matt, the new boot is made by Boulet, originally a cowboy boot manufacturer, they took the current WWB (Wet Weather Boot), inserted a small piece of razor sharp rawhide into the heel, and put some canvas on the sides.  Looks like the one you linked, but doesn't feel like it at all.  The...

twin 35's just coming out of service, snap those bad boys onto a turretless lav chassis, BANG instant LAV 3 DFSV.  Won't kill a tank, but it will stop everything else.

Went and saw Mak today, he looks really good.  Firm handshake and a huge grin.

I have never been able to find anyone that carries these awesome boots.

The French have a nice one, at the bottom of the Arc de Triumph, there is a tomb of an unknown soldier, but it has the 1 foot high brass rail running all around it, not enough to stop people, but enough to make them think.  You are still able to and welcome to touch the monument, but it gives...
