Not to fan the "BB POS or Not" flames but we were just told our UAB weight limit was upped by 25 lbs a box...... ;D

I have troops who were just issued pistols but no holsters because there were none available. Regulator, I assume your with the boys from out west because around 2 Bde it's issued vests only as of right now and seems it will be that way for 3-08.

The "someone" has two crossed sword and a leaf on his chest. It's more than rumor. If your a MCpl or below in our unit and go into QM to sign for a pistol for roto you will be told it's now policy that pistols are issued to Sgts and above only. As for whether I was ordered I guess if someone...

We were told the other day that it is the opinion of "someone" in Ottawa that there are too many pistols in theater and they are going to be restricted to Sgt and above only. While i'm sure that rule will be gotten around by some (it wont apply to myself for example) it does make me wonder why...

I'm getting ready to deploy on a 9+ month stint....I'll give you my opinion on this subject sometime around end Feb '09  ;D

I've got some 5.11 FR gloves that I love.

Rumor has it that the French may be doing just that: http://forums.macleans.ca/advansis/?mod=for&act=pos&eid=43

For the love of God! Why would you want to be a Sig in the CF??????? Are you a sado masochist?  ;D

Rafe..PM inbound.

I finally got to qualify on the Sig the other day (pre-deployment) and I have to say i love shooting that pistol. The decocking lever would IM very HO cut the ND situation greatly amongst sadly undertrained (myself included) shooters. My only complaint was that we qualified on P225s rather than...

Great idea...unless you work with the RSM.  :'( :'( :'(

True. I guess I just assumed it would be one of those "loans" where we never saw them again.. ;D Seems to me that the ANA could have made better use of them than their current task.....but that's a different subject all together. ;)

I was not aware that it was a finite deployment, I thought we had given them away. Anyone know what is supposed to happen to the Grizzlies after Dec?

I am deploying down to Ft. Bliss 3rd week of Feb. I have dates ect so it seems pretty confirmed from where I sit.

I'll happily take my old 64 pattern over with me this spring. I just wish they would get me a bag that actually carries a radio, spare batteries, spare ammo, med supplies and water.....comfortably.  :crybaby: Guess I'll just have to hunt up my own. Suggestions???  ;D

Did that monthly FOA thing ever get confirmed?

Sunny Petawawa....but wait 10 minutes, I'm sure the weather will change.

Someone must have been listening. I got issued my new raingear the otherday.  ;D  Pockets on the sleeves and all.

Weekendsig, I have to disagree with some of your points. I dont think the 522 system is in anyway user friendly espescialy when in a vehicle LAN and combined with SAS, Athena or a RAU and that poses a problem for soldiers that are requiered to use it on a daily basis and who are counting on it...

Dont know if it's overkill or not but I used alot of disks in mine. At first I used 1 per small pad and 2 for the big center pad but I lost the big center pad in Wainwright this Maple Guardian and as a result added more velcro. I have had issues with one of the smaller pads falling out as well...
