    Canadian AFG War "Resister"

    I'd like to think the media would apologe for misleading the public with false information but, you know, I'd also like to think monkeys MIGHT actually fly out of my butt one day....

    BMQ Readiness

    The Running Room is a great store for purchasing your shoes. They will find a pair best-suited to support your ankle and feet. When I went in they had me run up and down the store in a few different pairs of shoes until my left ankle didn't roll so much (as it does, from an injury long, long...

    WW2 T-34 Tank Pulled Out of Lake

    Wow. Magnificent find, I'd say. Did the Germans take control of and use the T-34 against the Soviets fairly often?

    From Gunner to FOO

    Petard, thank you for your great post. You are right, I must learn to crawl first and I haven't even been born yet.  :P I'm printing the post and keeping it with me to motivate me on where I want to go. I understand it's not going to be easy or, for that matter, take very little time but it's...

    Well, it is another option on the table to work towards. How does the transition from Gunner to Bdr work? Obviously you have to earn it but what are the set amounts of years and training governing the promotion?

    From Gunner to FOO

    Thanks, kincanucks and muskrat, I bookmarked the UTPNCM web-site. To become a FOO Tech, you must first be an NCO(Bdr), yes?

    From Gunner to FOO

    I'm heading off to BMQ in a few days and from there to Artillery School. I was interested in becoming a Forward Observations Officer in the future, yes I know not the NEAR future, but I was just wondering what kind of courses I would need or plans of action to think out to pursue this, to go...

    Hard-pressed army forced to train with paintball guns

    Those are Airsoft guns, I believe. They fire pellets rather than paintballs. I've seen replicas pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, m16s, mp5s and all sorts of things. It's scarey how realistic they are. Some people who play Airsoft are just right into it with full combat gear and mics. To each...
