Demonstrating that their understanding on the soldier's thought process was extremely advanced for their time.  :salute:

A while back I had the privilege of sitting in the gunner's seat for a couple hours worth of flight time. Ever since then I have convinced myself that I found my new purpose in life  ;) It also doesn't help that being a door gunner has that deadly illusion that "No really, it could really...

AHHHH too much to comment on! Brain full! I have to say, the "Yummy Mummy" ad almost made me wet my pants in laughter (for reasons other then picturing a sexy "mummy"). Who could refuse his help with all his insightful observations like "Your baby need to much attention" and "Maybe you do...

I second that  :brickwall:

Has anyone seen the GAU-19 3 barrel .50 Gatling gun? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S21EG5cACQA&feature=related

Question; Is the question specifically regarding needing a vehicle to mount the gun? or just transport? As mentioned before, the M2 has a nice neat packing case that holds everything minus the tripod and toolbox. It could easily fit in almost any vehicle and can be deployed pretty quickly. As...

The military has vision classifications for a reason. You may have heard people talk about being a "V-1, V-2". If your eyes aren't up to the standard they need to be for the infantry, they wouldn't have let you apply.

I have almost never heard of the army making you take basic again, as even though the course is longer in the regular force, in the reserve army you have to do BMQ (Land) before taking your trade's course, and BMQ (L) has most of the training you would have missed out on from the reg force BMQ...

Yes, NES, but as I understand it if you are NES the CO has to sign off on releasing you 5F. And you can get charged if you are slotted on a course and don't show up (but it usually just ends in an RTU and a jacking) or any time you are signed in and don't show up for duties, however... since I'm...

A perfect tune to step off to: Black Label Society - Fire it up However I don't mind just chatting, even though the conversation usually ends up regarding some type of food  ;D

In my personal opinion (keep in mind I am in NO WAY a recruiter and have never worked in a recruiting centre) going in and establishing yourself in person is always a much better way to go (just like any normal job). Firstly you will hopefully meet face to face at least one person who has...

If they run weekend BMQ the same way as our brigade runs it... Recruits report to armories for two weekends on followed by one off, repeat until course is finished. You will get there Friday evening, lectures then bed time. You will sleep at wherever your course is. You will awaken to the...

x2 I have said this before too, from watching a couple of my friends attempts; if you think the recruiting process is an administrative nightmare, just wait till you try to VOT once you're in. Fight for what you want! in the CF you make your own luck.

I also use the VCAS, (the padded variant). I have used it for C7, C7A2, C9A2, and C6...no complaints at all. It does require some creative rigging on occasion, especially for a little extra comfort room on the MGs. But if you're just looking for a quick way to rig up a patrol sling with a C7A2...

If your profile is right, and you are with the 746 in calgary, check crown surplus. A few of my buddies have gotten lucky lately and found frames there. Or you can purchace a US ALICE frame (from lots of places), don't know how they compare as I have never tried the ALICE, but it's very similar...

:facepalm: As long... :facepalm:...as nobody... :facepalm:...loses their bayonet... :facepalm:...somewhere in the TA Friday afternoon  :crybaby: hahaha.

Basically, it's a numbers game. In the reserves, because recruiting is through one's brigade, and one is more or less recruited straight into ones unit (technically, although you still have to pass your courses, you are your units problem rather than PAT or wherever) units can all of a sudden...
