How about a classified ad section, you could charge a $1.00 or so per ad. Limit it to miltary items, Collectables and Surplus. Lots of traffic and there is alot of people that have extra stuff laying around that are not a business. More ambitious project would be a auction such as ebay or yahoo...

If the mbrs had failed or been RTU in the first weeks of the course they would have had to pay back the advance. If they spent the money before they left on course, it is a gamble they chose and they lost. The advance is to pay for expenses and is not to supplement their income (common thinking...

You must remember that recruiting did not start back up full tilt until about 2 years ago. The problem is that the training system can handle only so many new people at a time. Who do you think trains these new people. It would be the same if you accept 10,000 new students to a university at...

Nothing new for the regular force as well. We have been in reconstitution (3VP) since Sep 02, just enough to shoot the annaul PWT with no retests. Personally have not shot PWT since before Afghanistan and have been tasked away from home 210 days last year. It is becoming the norm within the CF...

The US M109 Palladin and UK AS90 where used in the Gulf. In Ref about the comment "as we seen during the war, all the US used was tanks" it may what you saw played on TV, there were lots of other AFV‘s, APC‘s, Hummvee in the fight. In the North of Iraq there was very little Armour, mostly light...

Just because you do not have your SQ should not prevent you from "going to the field or on exercise". It sounds like somebody higher on the food chain is making up there own rules or is not thinking about the trg opportunities being presented. Since you have and passed BMQ you should be able to...

Funny enough, a improvised explosive took out a M1A1 and crew a little while ago in Iraq and others where injured. Other soldiers were killed or injured when they rolled their steel beasts over in other incidents. As well, I think that a MBT would probaly sink a little quicker than a LAV if it...

The cover pockets are the new standard. The ideas has come from the Airforce side which worries about FOD. The CDS or VCDS has now directed the clothing and equipment, from all services, to converge all their programs into one. If you look on the new tag you will see they are called for...

Here are the people with all the answers and data to this question. As well the Marine Corp have adopted this system through the the miltary exchange program, so there is a string you can pull as well on your side of the border. Director Land Requirements 5-4-2 General Technical Stores &...

The Bronze Stars to the Command Element Pers are being awarded for Meritorius Service (for the entire tour) and not Bravery as the ones being awarded to the snipers.This is a common thing, I am told, within the US Forces. I have know a few examples such as one being awarded to officiers who...

The Bronze Stars are being issued to the snipers and the remained to the CO, RSM, OC's, CSM's, none to the troops. As for the SWASM with Afghanistan Bar. Every Swinging **** that had his/her name attached to OP APOLLO got the medal and Afghan Bar. No differance if you where on the grd in...

It is both about $ and allocation. Remember that we are a small military and we are a aging one as well. Most of our equipment needs upgrading and replacement and that is for all services. While I agree the replacement/ mods that KevinB is speaking about are the ideal solutions and I...

My unit and myself were on the receiving end of many public sent care packages on our tour to Afganistan in 2002. They were very apprecciated by all. Some advice on sending things would be to keep the packages small, about a shoebox or slightly larger. A major problem that we encounter was the...
