What are the primary differences between HESH and HEAT ammunition? I know that HESH has the squash head that flattens to the target, but HEAT I'm a little more hazy with except for the fact that it delivers a shaped charge. Are there any differences beyond the fact that HEAT relies more on...

You nailed it: jogging and calisthenics along with sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups and ruck marches.

I wholeheartedly agree. This particular officer and I never quite got along, not that it matters, but he had a definite sense of entitlement about him.  I guess he figured a few stripes on his rank pull-on meant that he could do whatever the heck he wanted. I'm out of the CF now, and when I go...

Sadly, it's no exaggeration. I only really lit the officers' cigarettes (which wasn't too bad, considering only 2 or so of them smoked), the Senior NCOs saw how ridiculous the whole idea was and lit their own smokes, but I still had to brew their coffee as per the company commander's orders...

Years ago, I remember that the Army was experimenting with the CrossFit fitness program to see if it would be more effective than traditional PT. Did CrossFit ever end up working out and was it ever proven to be more effective than traditional PT?

Thanks for giving me the info on another trade option to decide over when that time comes  :) .

Hi all, I've been considering several different trades if I'm successful in re-enlisting a few years from now. One of my passions is welding. I'm pretty darn handy with Stick and pretty good with MIG. I'm going to be taking welding night classes starting in December to improve my skills. Given...

:o :o :o :o :o Pure awesomeness.

Just a question related to this and to willy's post, is it standard practice for the company signaler to serve as the aide to the coy cmdr? When I was an OCdt, I was always assigned as company signaler and besides signals duties, a significant portion of this position was preparing the OC's...

I couldn't agree more. There's too many doctors out there that give ridiculously large prescriptions for oxys and do so on a regular basis and for no real reason. Basically, they're running pill mills and the College of Physicians and Surgeons is doing jack about it. By the time a crooked doctor...

Dang, it's a shame that a 120mm cartridge case would be essentially an ashtray with a rod sticking out of the middle. I really need to learn more about ammunition. I do have one steel cartridge case in my collection, a casing from a US 3"/50 naval gun.

Looks like I need to modify my original message for both spelling and accuracy  ;D! Darn, I was really hoping for 155 mm brass. I'm not too arty-savvy and always figured that there was a casing of some sort at the bottom of the firing charge to detonate the charge and fire the shell. Don't C3...

:rofl: I really should have said ER Aide instead of ED Aide......

As we all know, there's a huge surge in prescription drug abuse across the country, especially in Southwestern Ontario, with London and Windsor being major hotspots for opioid abuse. OxyContin has hit this country like a plague and has impacted the medical and legal systems severely. Having...

I have a decent ordinance collection going for several years now, and I'm looking for some unique casings. Anything will do, but I'm looking more for larger-sized casings. Right now, I'm looking for a casing from a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle and a casing from the 76 mm gun from a Cougar. I'd also...

Thanks guys, much appreciated  :nod: .

I'm interested in this myself. I'm hoping to do an MSW in a year or so, since my MA in Sociology hasn't exactly opened many employment doors, despite the fact that it specialized in Mental Health Policy and Practice and Healthcare Policy and Practice. My question is: what are my odds of...

Are Pyxis systems used in any portion of the CF Medical Group? I'd imagine that they're used at NDMC, but are they used beyond that? I ask because biometrics within healthcare have become the norm and quite frankly, a necessity. Just one funny Pyxis story, I recall one night working as an ED...

Hi all. It's still a few years before I can even begin the re-enlistment process, but if everything goes well, I want to re-enlist as a Medical Administration Officer should there be availabilities for this position. I have a Master's in Sociology with my specializations being in Healthcare...

I've already caved and bought one. I figure if it's past Labour day, it's fair game to get one. Btw, the Salted Caramel Mocha is pretty darn good too, but I have a real soft spot for caramel. You could seriously put caramel on a piece of tree bark and I'd eat every bite.
