CIC officers do not have an operational requirement for Tac Vests or helmets. Nor strictly speaking do we have an operational requirement for Cadpat. The fact is that we are issued Cadpat and we are entitled to wear it. If the system changes and CIC officers do become a deployable part of the...

I D G A S (F, B, H, P) I don't give a s**t (f**k, b*gger, hoot,poop). Used at Blackdown.

Combat_Medic, I fully support your proposed Option # 1.  I agree with it not just because I would meet all of the criteria for a Reserve Officer's Commission, even at 47 years old (G2!). I agree with it because CIC officers should be 'deployable'. Not necessarily for overseas duty, but here in...

Try the Casio Pathfinder series. I have one and it has worked well for me. I has backlighting, a barometer, compass (degrees only - not mils) and an altimeter. The barometer is useful for weather prediction. The watch is 'water resistant' to 100m, and I have dived with it to 30m in salt water...

Decent camera for sure, and Best Buy are OK to deal with.   Sony does use memory sticks, though. These are quite pricey if you buy them OEM Sony . One question I would ask is what the actual shutter lag time is, at highest resolution and what the actual file size is at highest resolution. If the...

Excellent point, Allan. Graininess means insufficient light is hitting the CCD. Make sure that whatever camera you get uses a standard hot shoe flash adapter, so you're not stuck with buying an expensive OEM flash! The standard flash on most cameras is only good for illuminating a few square...

Definitely Beaver Surplus. They do (or did) have a program where you could exchange purchased Mk3 combat boots when you grew out of them. I'm pretty sure you had to pay a little bit too, and the boots had to be in re-sellable condition. Duke

Hooch and a gore tex bivvy sack! Duke

Speaking from experience, Hutch?  ;) Firing auto is expressly forbidden for cadets. A lot, maybe most Army Cadets are curious about the 3rd position for the selector, but generally accept the explanation that if/when they join the PRes or Regs, they will receive the training and trigger time...

I have a Nikon coolpix as well. Great camera. 5MP. It only uses Nikon or aftermarket battery packs though. They can be expensive if you want to keep a spare set (or two) around.  Battery life is generally good, though. You can buy an adapter to allow you to use standard AA batteries. Watch out...
