My apologies. I just had to sit through two hours of class listening to NDP and Green speeches....a lot of misplaced hostility on my part.

As an aside, I found it amusing to read, Maybe she should be examining what shoddy Canadian goods are being purchased...*cough*tac vest*cough

What caught my interest was how the troops on parade turn their heads to watch him pass. Eastern European drill always intrigues me. Don't get me started...

The laces that came on MkIIIs were indeed excellent - I think they were treated with some sort of wax, because they never seemed to get wet. But I found that the laces on the WWB tended to break on the metal speed lacing loops.

Can anyone give me an NSN for the shield/sleeve/cover/thingamajig that protects the BEW from scratches when not in use? I went to clothing stores to obtain such an item but was told by the person at the counter that no such thing has ever been in the system. Any help would be appreciated.

Bri, Having been through something quite similar to this in the past couple of months, I know just how you feel. A leaky engine can be the cause of much misery and my advice would be (as hard as this sounds) to just let it go for now. If she's not working out for you, don't put yourself through...

Spyware for a mac is pretty rare...I'd be more tempted to go with a faulty DNS server - it's happened to me too in the past (though not with this site.)

There is no mark time after the counter march. However, 'mark time' is called when the colours arrive in position.

Still is. It's usually called by the senior officer of the Colour Party.

IIRC, the "field force" sunglasses looked similar to the current army BEWs...but I could be thinking of another product entirely.

...Is that Clayton Matchee on 16 September? I thought he was found unfit for trial.

L'addresse sur Notre-Dame, c'est le coté sud, non?

Notre-Dame ??? Hochelaga et Langelier. Metro Langelier + bus 33 sud pour le coté nord.

Three cheers for the bride and groom!

RE: team leader http://io.ua/3439216 I find it fascinating that they spare no expense recreating some of our kit - including what seems to be a near-perfect tac-vest knock-off (or an early model? The mesh being olive green says something...) A for effort, I guess.

Would that work? At least with the current simunition rounds in use, the paint splatter is about the size of a quarter - and is supposed to be washable.

By the look of your profile, I'm guessing you've never been on the receiving end of a few rounds of simunition. Sure, it hurts like hell - but unless you take one to the head, neck or groin, it won't be too long before you're back on your feet. The system was developed as a training tool, not as...

Just about every unit has its traditions, but it's not fair to say that highland units have more or less than other units. I think it's fair to say that regimental traditions have a lot to do with how long the unit has been in existence, notable actions, as well as the history of the regiment's...

This is a GROSS oversimplification, so please don't take this out of context, but... The Queen's Own Camerons of Canada are based on a unit that existed in Scotland. The kilt is traditional Scottish dress, so therefore, it is worn by the unit when on parade, instead of the standard rifle green...

Steveo, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada wear a kilt because, as the name indicates, they are a highland unit, patterned after the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, a unit that existed between 1793 and 1961, and is now 4th battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
