I mean now. I went through gagetown many a time and never had more than a PT t shirt issued (read: purchased) to me. This was late in the 90's.

Recruits get issued PT gear now? Just t shirt, or shorts and shoes too?

Just the outer, or just the inner if it smells better  ;).  As it has been many years since I did that course I may be wrong, someone with more current experience at the school may correct me. But you should be fine with just the outer. On a different note, what is 'underware (complete)' ...

On the surface I like it, and have even though off systems like this myself.  Generally, I think more input (in terms of voting) is good and in a way required, one needs to, however, be very mindful of the complexities of public issues. Having experts in issues in the form of representatives and...

So the chasis is right...now for the hard part. Great find , I was shocked at the age of the chasis because of the more modern look of the over all design.  The gun system on top, at a quick glance, looks like it could be at home on a stryker.  I'll pick up trying to figure the rest out...

The chasis looks like it's from an Czechoslovakian  LT 38, I don't know the varient though

FrenchAffair, please tell me you are trolling and not really that out to lunch. Mod's, I saved you some work by not typing what I really really really wanted to.

I would also recommend adding some 'occasion' to the experience, I had my first cigar after a bastard of a long hike in Algonquin park; and man was it amazing! Montecristo  -'Edmundo' or 'No. 2' (again pricey but its worth it)

Gimpy - You're going to have to accept that it's a board and that people are free to just type whatever, within the rules, and like MedTech said, some things you just have to put up with.  That said I agree with your dislike of non-critical pro conservative reactionary comments.  But it is a...

Looks like I'll need to watch Team America again tonight!

        Those questions open up a giant can-o-worms Pro Patria and really would be better in a different thread.  Or do a search on procurment and i'm sure you'll dig stuff up. Here are some short, out of my lane responses to get you thinking and then getting back on topic would be good.    ...

That's an impressive list, but that does not change the fact that our Navy does not fly.  I was not saying that the Navy was in any way incapable of doing so, merely pointing out in a sarcastic fashion that perhaps the cost of making this change over would be potentially prohibative.  There has...

That makes great sense as the Army and Navy are experts at all aspects of aviation unlike the Air Force.  Is this happening before the Armoured Corps takes over driving everything from LAV's to motor scooters, or after?  We could have Airborne troops flying Herc's and generals driving their own...

+1 Niner (excellent post)

I had my left collar bone pulled off my sternum in high school wrestling, I have to say that is not an injury I recommend, it took many years to heal. Probably about 5 years before it felt 100% like the other side, though it still pops and cracks now and again.  Also, in a jiu jitsu class I was...

Likely the best choice for all involved.

I'd like to see how those that responded answer this one: "How much thought did put into massive judicial reform before you were given this survey?"  And I might suggest that electing judges is perhaps the very worst way to take care prison system, young offenders, rehabilitation issues.

I was wondering what happened with my profile!!! I'm glad you guys caught who was at fault, shameful actions! Just Shameful!

Maybe they just thought they'd throw a guy in some winter stuff for show, it's obviously a for a display so some kind. That perhaps explains the reason for the ski bunny looking kit (downhill boots!!!! and the little gloves) and the face paint...because they don't do winter warfare training. ...

Where there is a will there is a way.     Your experience will be different than a recruit who joins at 18, but that doesn't mean it will be bad.  What I have heard from some guys on IAP this year is that there are is good number of 'older' guys around (mid 20's ish and up). Some of the people...
