    Boot, General Purpose (Mk III acting/interim replacement)

    Then are you suggesting a return to garrison dress? We polish our boots in garrison to show that we have the initiative to carry out implied orders and that we can maintain our personal equipment with no supervision.  Garrison life transltes into field life.  We only go to the field for a...

    Close Combat Vehicle: Canada to buy another AFV (& keeping LAV III & TLAV)

    The Viking IS NOT like the CV90, its basically a modern, armored BV-206. Royal Marine Viking CV 90 The only similarity between the two is that they are tracked vehicles.

    Tac Vest does not make the grade.

    Why should Canadian manufacturers get priority?  Because they are Canadian?  That's one of the reasons that the procurement system is messed up, we're too busy keeping poorly run, dieing businesses afloat because they are Canadian instead of purchasing quality equipment from proven...

    Tac Vest does not make the grade.

    The Tac Vest base is difficult to size and adjust, and some say that it does not retain the adjustments well.  Adjustments to size would be made depending on the amount of clothing worn and level of PPE worn.  In my opinion it needs to be completely scrapped and a new vest issued.

    Weapon Cleaning

    Varsol bath is easier to say than "alternate non-carcinogenic cleaning solution bath." Your correct, we do not have varsol baths, they were removed and replaced with a similar machine which uses a safe cleaning solution. The infantry school still applies a "standard" to weapons being returned...

    Weapon Cleaning

    The trick is to use super, super hot water to rinse out all the tight and weird places in your weapon.  (Trigger mech, slip ring)  First, apply liberal amounts of CLP, let it get into all the nooks and crannies where the grit hides.  Then, run the hot water, straight hot water, the scalding...

    Skydex Helmet Pad Kit - LOTS of pictures

    There will be no pension ramifications, as has already been stated.  SISIP covers you civvy side as well as CF side, and no one wears their BEW or Issued helmet suspension while driving down the 401, so your covered.  VAC is only concerned about injuries sustained in the line of duty, not with...

    May Movies - Thumbs up/down?

    I agree, two thumbs up.  The movie was excellent and Robert Downey Jr. made an excellent John Stark.  When I saw it on Saturday there was a preview for the next Batman movie, Dark Knight.  That looks to be as amazing as the first, Batman Begins.  By the way, Batman is a DC Comics character, not...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    I'm going to steal the UCR write up, but I'm adding the fact that sternum straps from packs impede access to the mag pouches.

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" There's alot of lemonade drinkers in this thread, and not one of them is on the pointy end. I f*****' hate lemonade.

    Skydex Helmet Pad Kit - LOTS of pictures

    In addition to facilitating a scrim net, I'm also able to remove and replace the helmet cover without removing the pads or the velcro discs used to install them.  So when winter ex rolls around, I can go to the whites; when deployment comes around, I can go arid; when my TW cover goes ratty, I...
