Still going strong at the squadron Radop. We just ran a two week course that included guys from out units ( some not even sigs ) and we also are still teaching it to Roto 4 guys.

H*ll Radop I'm not worried , being here I know I'm gonna go.lol. Just gotta wait for number 2. Finally got our medals the other day by the way. (and dont forget Me and the wife get to double that $ )  :salute:

Makes me glad that me and my wife are in the same trade.  ;)

Actualy I was out on the road in Kabul almost every day. I was there as a dispatch rider or SDS driver so I never worked in a CP the whole tour. Sigs can spend lots of time out and about or they can never leave the camp, it all depends on your job within the trade.

Actually, for Roto 0 they gave everyone who needed it a blanket clearance. It was only god for the length of the tour but it allowed everyone to go.

Should'nt this be in the "why does the Army hate the Air Force?" thread?  :dontpanic:

On Roto 0 all us SDS guys (dispatch riders) got sidearms after pleading for a shorter weapon to carry in our SUVs. The sigs who are  currently ramping up for Roto 4 are all taking Brownings with them.

The Tac vest has 2 removable C-9 pouches and 2 Removable canteen pouches. The Small pack has 2 "side" pouches and 2 "fanny packs". Fairly sure that is right but at my age the brain sortta goes south you know. Anybody coroborate?

Black Watch,   Long and the short of it is most units don't use the vest in Arctic/winter dress. Thats what the big pockets on winter dress are for.

piper,   Just wondering, have you considered joining up in another trade and OT'ing to MP after 4 years?

Aww come on Brit, it snows on the west coast at least once a year.  :dontpanic:

condor, Have you researched what happened after "they were found out". Do you know how they were found out? Man even what happened to that $%##^ Matchee was a tragedy ( and before I get nailed, I'm not a fan of that SOB ).

  I am more than happy to oppose my " bosses" on this one. I do have to admit though that after reading some of the posts here that I find myself torn. On one hand I have already sent off an e-mail and I feel like I need to withdraw any support I had for this museum, on the other hand I feel...

The webbing is O.K. just not that great... the same can be said of the vests unfortunately  ::)

:'( Cant even begin to describe how large the rumor mill is around 2 Sigs regarding this.

wow. wore it everyday for 6 months in Afghanistan and used that pocket for a pen..lol

Whistle pocket?

sorry CFL, just being facetious... not that any of the Euros smoked hash or anything.

Everybody gets the same kit at BMQ. Airforce, Army Navy... everyone gets the same gear. Once you get to trades training however..... http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/Land_Force/English/2_0_75.asp?uSubSection=75&uSection=3 You will get most of what is on this link

Is it just me or does this country have an undying need to beat itself up and punish itself forever for it's mistakes instead of honouring it's triumphs and great deeds? I do believe in the phase "lest we forget" but this still rings badly for my ears. :salute:
