Everyone of my buddies from DP1 who I taked to that went to Pet, hate it there. They say its boring as hell. This coming from mostly single guys. At least Shilo has Brandon, which has loads of girls, and a very active night life, if you're into that kind of thing. :P Shilo itself if about a 20...

Its not that we don't have Colours, its that the Guns are our Colours.

While I didn't know Capt. Goddard, I did meet her once at a 1RCHA officers dinner. I was one of the lowly gunners tasked to wear the monkey suit and salute the officers as they came in, she was the only one to stop and chat for a bit. Capt. Goddard's family and friends will be in my thoughts...

Legalized prostitution works very well in the States. No pimps, the girls are clean, get regular weekly tests, there is security in case they need it. Edit: In some NV counties I mean.

In the field, one of the things I have on my must have list, is Bounce sheets. I stick them in the kit, and pockets of those stinky bastards I share the tent with.

The info I have is first hand from Major Moore himself, however, there is a report in the arty news section at www.army.gc.ca which has a quote by the Major, which I believe says the same thing, in print. It might be in the LFWA website too. I'll try and find it.

Canada is the first to use the M777 in any theatre. The US won't have it in Iraq until March or April, according to Major Moore of the US NETT team.

Nice pic CdnArtyWife. I wonder how the guns are doing in the Afghan weather, probably pretty damn good. In warm weather, I'd rather be on a M777 det as opposed to a C3 det, but in Shilo winters... I'd rather be on a C3 det. In December, when we had the guns in the field in Shilo, took us about...

I found this site useful. http://www.goldmanbros.com/gc/catalog/Under-Armour-Outdoors-HeatGear-100286-pg1.html edit: Or you can look for a dealer near Halifax. http://www.underarmour.ca/FindDealerMap.asp?locator=regular&country=Canada&state=NS

Oh sorry, my bad. Yea, the gun tractor has to pull around behind the gun, then when its ready to hook in, pull back in front, and back up. So there is more fooling around with the gun tractor on a M777, as opposed to the C3.

For the M777 since its towed by the front, there is no manhandling of the gun like an Action Front with a C3, its like the Action Rear with the C3.

Very good. It takes about  xxxxxx to record a C3 105mm howitzer.

Can you explain more about the Mortor Bison. I'm not mortor qualified, and would like to know a bit more. How fast can it get into action and recorded? We had the M777 recorded, and ready to fire rounds in xxxxxxxxxxxxxx from when the truck stopped and "Halt! Action Front!" was called. Mod...

Reasons why the target was illuminated could be many fold. The first and foremost that comes to my mind is, adjustment. The OP has to see the rounds come in. Our night vision goggles offer no depth perception. Illumination can also cause the enemy to panic and become disorientated.

BAE systems will supply the parts. Accurate to less than 10 meters at 40 KM. On paper anyway. The UH-60M Black Hawk wouldn't lift a M777 you would need a chinook, an Osprey or fixed wing.

Hockey is all that matters anyway.

A follow up article was published today about the backlash Timmies is getting. http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=f65cd16d-d1e0-4a7d-999f-e703a67cdf1a&k=71809

The digital fire control system I was talking about is LINAPS, which were are getting from the brits, they use it on one of thier 105mm howitzers, and thier M777s. Its an amazing system. Not sure if I can go into detail about how it works, but I can say it works. Amazingly. However it is not a...

A bty has 4 guns, 2 troops, 2 guns per troop, 10+ man dets. 1RCHA has two more guns, 6 total, but dunno where the other two are going. The rumour was pet, but maybe Afghanistan, so maybe that configuration will change.
