    522 Manpack

    No, I'm using the 84 pattern ruck. Yet ANOTHER reason that makes me question why we ever came out with the 84 pattern ruck in the first place. I think I'll have to go with stuffing it in a patrol pack and walking around with that all day, probably the best option that's available to me. I'll...

    it didn't start with 9/11... a must read...

    When did it start? How about in 1953 when the CIA overthrew it's first government, the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran. Look into it.

    Dri-Fit Shirts

    Go look at the 2 page 'Under Armour' thread I had just opened. But no, there is nothing like that issued. You'd have to buy it. I'm wearing what I bought in the field, I'm not worried about doing my morning runs in a cotton t-shirts; that doesn't bother me too much. What bothers me is a cotton...

    Was thinking of getting this!

    With a small pack like that I'm always synching the straps up tight so the waist belt is at about my boob level. And it doesn't take any weight off the shoulders because the frame isn't built into the belt.

    Black Watch Plaid

    Regiment tartans aren't just invented. Research what pattern the tartan is, it'll have some scottish family name, and then you can just look for that online and you'll be able to buy things in it.

    Get rid of the dinky waistbelt! Every pack has 'em and they're so useless.

    Under Armour

    I just spent a lot of money on 5 under armour t-shirts (olive green) and 5 pairs of under armour black boxers. I think it's worth it.. a sweat drenched cotton shirt is a big piss off of mine and it was a pain in the ass last summer; ass sweat.. don't even get me started.

    Kingston thread - merged

    I wouldn't bet on getting loaded onto a course this summer if you're not already parading with the unit.

    Everybody knows that tampering with the Queen's property is a chargeable offence.

    Must Have Kit, Canadian Style

    Is this a duplicate of a course kit list? I noticed it's all issued kit and has a lot of things on it that no one actually carries.

    The Dutch Honour Canadian Fallen

    I was on that parade. 1 guard, Back rank, fourth from the right. It was so cold that our last present arms I thought I was going to drop my rifle because my hands were frozen, haha. What we had originally planned was a big dog and pony show where we would take the bridge by force with blanks...
