You just replied to a thread that is 1.5 years old. Great work.

Issued army boxers are insulated. THey're long johns but not long. I wear them in the cold weather. The rest of the time it's Under Armour boxers.

How do the new issued ballistic glasses stack up?

The wheeler's one. It doesn't restrict the space at all. The thing is huge. It's not a "waterproof"(see: submerge) drybag because it doesnt fold over itself 4 times and have a clip buckle, but it's infinitely more durable then garbage bag liners and serve the same purpose. I bought it because I...

Neither. Everything in the top pouch of my ruck is in a drybag. I don't individuall pack anything. That  being said, the pair of socks in my tac vest is in a ziplock bag by themselves.

Can you e-mail me that as well? I'd like to know how many t-shirts and such I'm entitled to.

I thought the idea behind white bottoms + green tops in winter was that the ground is white and the trees are still green, and thus your bottom blends into the ground and your top to the trees.

CHofO, 33 BDE in Ottawa, are getting issued the small pack, ballistic eyewear + cadpat leather gloves en masse tomorrow night.

I know a lot of you guys are old timers with sentimental attachments to the FN, but come on.. these should  have been destroyed years ago. There is no practical reason to hold onto them except as museum pieces. If you go the Canadian War Museum, you know what you'll see? a C7 on display. The C7...

Dental Number, I've heard of this before. How do I get one? My unit seems oblivious to it.

So we all know how annoyoing BOR's can be most (all?) of the time. I've been bugging them about the dental plan. I've read the CFAO's and I know I get 1250$ a year in coverage at 80% because I'm a reservist. They gave me some form. Has anyone actually done this before and knows the procedure?

I just shot this weekend for annual IBTS. There's a new Personal Weapons Test.. level 3 is now called PWT-2 and you fire about 115 rounds. It includes shots from the 400m prone, LOTS of serials from the kneeling, and lots of snap shooting. Pass is 76, marksman is 92, top score of 108 or something.

A colleague of mine parades with that unit in Montreal as well as here in Ottawa. He said to get in is basically invitation-only from a member of PSYOPS.

What's the scale of issue for those things? I'm a reservist in Ottawa, can I go to NDHQ and demand them?

Stop unearthing threads that have been dead for months. Update for everyone else.. I got in shit on course for wearing the t-shirt because you can sort of notice it, but I wore it on Stalwart no problem. Wow! Does the stuff ever work well. I wore the underwear the whole time and I never had...

If I read that, the worst that'll happen is a 25$ fine. I've had more for less.

Be nice.

WO Paris had the new rain gear on our BIQ FTX.

When I read this I thought "Hey, Beckett was right!".. but then I realized the person posting it was the person that told me.

What's with the loaded mags?
