Vern, don't worry about me.  LCMM's are just misunderstood I believe.

They look great on the floor for now, next use will be in November, last use was May.  The various sizes is the reason I got them, the Sleeping bag LCMM threatened a curse upon me if I cut up another pair of sleeping bags or got my bivy modified again.

Before you go all nuts over the Merlin bags, look closer to home, Integral Designs in Alberta has just provided me with a wicked sleeping system, one inner bag, and one outer.  http://integraldesigns.com/product_detail.cfm?id=720&CFID=7378347&CFTOKEN=43005992&mainproducttypeid=1 Just got this...

That is certainly an intense kit list, a bit excessive, but hey, if you have everything, then you should need nothing.  I don't see how you will carry your small packs though, and why everything in the small pack would only fill one of the larger external pockets on it.  I don;t know man, seems...

Do you have special connection at CCM or is this really just a "Chance of a lifetime" I am looking to invest some cash in my hockey gear, and if you had a hook up, it might be a big help to a bunch of others on this board.

Army Vern, I have spent many a lunch asking the same question, and what might surprise everyone is that fault doesn't actually lie with CTS, the officers and NCO's that make up that group put in long hours and work extremely hard to get items into service.  Unfortunately, it is the same old...

Perfect, so as advised, ditch the 82 pattern and get used to wearing the small pack.  At the cost and rates of production, expect to be explaining to your troops when you are a Sgt in a few years when the new ruck will be issued.  The contract has yet to be signed, the ruck is still on the Merx...

Ditch your ruck, small pack holds as much as the 82 Pattern, in about 3 years, you won;t have a choice, better get used to the small pack now.

2 four gun batteries per regiment, one STA battery, and an HQ/Echelon, still lots of jobs, just less tubes to serve on.  It is the CLS intent on arty transformation.

To much for to little, sounds like an iltis replacement being used as an armoured convoy escort.

This was in my junk mail, don't even know why I pulled it out << please distribute to all your contacts, e-mail listservs, friends and lovers... thanks! GO GENERALS! >> Generals Against Democracy Who Want To Shoot All The Terrorist Scumbags (GADWWTSATTS) will be at Carleton University...

What Britney says is true, storing them was more than they were worth, plus they were just in racks, not grease or nothing and when they did the sample QA survey on them, they found that the rifles were toast, not worth hanging onto.  It isn't like in a time of war we are going to have 60 000...

3rd person with an education is all played out, next time something like this happens, try an Incredible Hulk mindest Bomber no like thread that not die Bomber head hurt after read thread that not die Bomber smash 82 pattern ruck. Bomber tired, Bomber watch Joey now, take mind off thread...

Wes, you can see the picture of Bayonet 2000 stacked against OKC3S in the new bayonet thread in equipment if you want.

Just solves the problem of finding a prime mover for the gun.  The way it all fits together, will take a professional tetris champ of a load master to fit it into a herc.  But it will fit.  I just wonder how the driver gets out once he loads it.  Is there a special hardship allowance for being...

All falls down to unit CO's, if you organize a demo of your trade that can be attended by other trades, understanding will increase, if an infantry unit only ever sees gunners waving out of the back of trucks and hears booms in the distance, they probably think it is pretty lame, by the same...

Mk 3's are finished, they are bieng replaced by GPB (General Purpose Boot, which I previously called Mk 4's) and the TCB (Temperate Combat Boot).  GPB's are to be coming in November, but like almost everything, you won;t see them till current stock is exhausted.  They are WWB's (Wet Weather...

As soon as this notion of air transport exhausts itself, I figure we should get some better kit.  Cause lets face it, the planes aren't getting more capable of lifting things with age.  The HL's are going for their refit, going to be a big capability gap for a while until they are all back.  The...

Don't worry, I do.

Mortar gloves are made in the west, that is why they were rolled out in Shilo first, kind of a little PR thing.  Who knows where they make the Cadpat ones, and I would never be proud taking any responsibility for anything to do with the goretex gloves, they have the same dexterity as an oven mitt.
