One of them was my friend.
I can say that Bdr Myles Mansell will be missed by his...
Canada sent troops to the US as part of an exchange program. Those same troops were rotated to Vietnam (Canada cut their checks the US provided Uniforms).
Those who came back have huge JTF2 style holes in their record of service. Chances are some didn't make it back and we will never know.
What is wrong with drawing a line in the sand and saying we will not deploy anyone younger than 18?
As for joining and training at 16 with parental consent I do not see a problem.
Single wall tents are only good in the high mountains when it is really cold and dry. They build up a ton of frost on the inside, if you get a good wind going it will get knocked free and start snowing inside the tent (IMHO best for fast short pushes).
MEC carries some of the best tents going...
When I was in the states the Army had nothing bad to say about the FMTVs.
I can bitch for days about the MLVW so ..........
Also it is a nice truck to drive, imagine that.
Wow $40 a month that is crazy money. I am sure people are going to plan their lives around a tank of gas.
"I was going to get out but how can I say no to $40 a month?"
Hoping for a terror attack?

But why buy a proven vehicle which is built (along with it's spare parts) nex door?
Oh right because it is a smart thing to do.
Hope these documents are better than the ones they had relating to Iraq's huge NBCW program.
Fox makes CNN seem like a reliable unbiased news source, and that is hard to do.
The difference between the US bible belt and the Islamic hardliners is very small. They just can't seem to see past the blind hatred so as to team up and control the world.
I have no patience for either telling me how to think.
Radical church group debussing in open, VT in effect, Adjust Fire.
You can work out 7 days a week. However after working a muscle to failure you must allow it to rest for 48-72 hours before working the muscle to failure again. If you never let your muscles recover you will keep sliding backwards performance wise instead of making gains. If you want to bounce...
The way I see it you should be able to fire the Carl G from the hip so they should put some extra handles and triggers on it as well.
Sarcasm level is high, very high
The problem with Canadian shipyards is not so much in the workers as the purchasers. It is not a matter of starting production and delivering a ship every year to replace ships as they reach the end of their service lives. Instead we order a large batch of ships to be delivered in a short period...
Wow being able to say my marksmanship training is lacking in both official languages.
What a goal, far better than building a capable deployable military that speaks the same language as the rest of NATO.
