I hope you don't mind me pitching in here, I speak a little Russian as well as reading it. I did a search on Google with : Ð?ашеÑ?твие ГеÑ маниÑ? Совета ИмÑ? 1945  (Invasion Germany Soviet Name) and to the best of my...

Désolé, Je répondais aux remarques négatives au sujet des officiers de cadet, F res etc. J'également n'aime pas des civils (Hippies etc) portant CADPAT mais s'ils l'achètent légalement, nous ne pouvons pas les arrêter. PS: Une manière amusante de regarder l'acronyme CIC (Cadre des...

Si. Si Si. La vérité est que nous des 'pilotes de cerf-volant' sommes publiés et portons ce que nous sommes donnés. Nous mettons notre temps dedans et obtenons notre CD. Jusqu'à ce qu'un de vous aille bien au Premier Ministre ou à la Reine, cela ne changera pas. Personnellement, je...

??? How could DND's specification for a service rifle possibly change due to a corporate acquisition? Duke

You would be buying from a Canadian Company , C/Cpl Banks. Colt Canada Limited. The company would employ Canadian employees, purchase Canadian parts and pay Canadian taxes. Duke

C'est la vie dans les FC! >:D Duke

C/Cpl Banks, I believe the reference was to a French company from France, not French Canadians. Merci Duke.

You have to distinguish between the leather and the Gore Tex (tm) membrane.  The leather is polishable, with no damage to the Gore Tex, as the membrane is UNDER the leather and on top of the boot's liner. Normal (not spit/H20) polishing will not diminish the effectiveness of the membrane. It...

Les mêmes que toutes membres P Res..... Duke  ;D

Peut-être les padres ne devraient pas recevoir un CD pendant 12 années de service ? Ils ne se tiennent pas fusille. Médecins aussi. Si vous portez l'uniforme vous méritez le CD. Duke

I would hope my subscription doesn't give me license to be a rectal aperture. I'm new, want to be a part of army.ca and would appreciate any guidance before stepping in fecal matter! Duke

C'est pas seulement les cadets qui désirent porter CADPAT. Beaucoup de civils désirent porter CADPAT aussi. S'ils ne sont pas sales et irrespectueux (puanteux!) ils devrait être ok. Duc

They are designed for cold/wet weather. They are not mukluks. The soles on them do not grip ice well, so if you're not careful, you'll end up going 'arse over teakettle'. Gore tex (tm) is water proof. It is made from a material similar to Teflon (Expanded PTFE (PolyTetra Fluoro Ethylene)), and...

Phalanx is a CIWS for sure, and trying to shoot down an ICBM or even a SLBM with Phalanx would be 'interesting'. I got up close to a Phalanx system during a guided tour of the USS Kitty Hawk while at a conference in San Diego. Very nice piece of kit! What about hybrids, then? Kinetic energy and...

TS Rea, Thanks for the information. I guess my confusion had to do with the means, if you will, of destroying the inbound ordnance. I certainly agree that a better way to defeat RPG type weapons is currently an interesting and dynamic field (I.e. EMA), and tend to agree that using an ~ $1M...

Interesting. Designed to stop RPG (Shaped Charge) projectiles, on LAVs. What if the bad guys go back to using projectile/kinetic energy weapons? Be kind of tough to stop  half a Kg or so of lead/tungsten/depleted Uranium travelling at the speed of sound with electricity! Duke

"What is the 'basic' issue of stuff for the CIC (army)? I could see something along the lines of 2x CADPAT clothes, 2x combat boots, 1x jacket, 1x toque, 1x tilly hat, gloves, grey socks and poly-pro top and bottoms and 2 x green t-shirts." I'm not sure what it is now, but back in the day it...

TS Rea, IR for the kill or sighting? Millmeter wave radar or a maser? Would you mind sharing the source of the article? A 'big frickin' maser would do some of what you are describing, but I wasn't aware they were 'rifle sized'. Duke

There are commercial S/S 10kw Nd:Yag lasers that work in CW (continuous wave) mode, driven by laser diodes. If the Zeus system is based on this it would be tough to use on a short range weapon such as an RPG due to warm up time and time for target acquisition/lock. As noted by S-Baker, 2 minutes...

Not a joke site per se, but it does feature the "Incredible Fart Machine", for those of a scatological mindset. Duke http://www.sillyjokes.co.uk/
