If you want to be able to take a truck off road put some real tires on it. General Grabber MTs or BFGoodrich mud terrains. They howl on the road but the traction is worth it. What kind of wiener is choosing our "off road" tires? Running a skid plate rear of the transfer case would...

As a gunner my rifle is a PITA 95% of the time, it snags on everything it is not bashing into. I would trade it for anything with a 14-16" barrel and a true folding stock. As for the 5.7mm round sucking does anyone have any links to "proof of this" or is it being spun by the rumour mill? As far...

CASW= 40mm automatic grenade launcher. I disagree with the "which is better" arguments between the two weapons systems. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. All I know is I want to be engaged by neither and really don't want both opening up on me. By useless against armour you must mean...

I agree with you regulator12, Oh yes if only the Tories had stayed in power. We could have had another decade of quality purchases equal to the LSVW or we could have sold off more heavy lift choppers as surplus, oh wait they sold them all. ah it would have been great. Have you ben called a...

So are our rescue EH-101s still imitating Ferrari's? Looking sexy while parked in the garage waiting for parts. On the plus side can't crash when tied up at the ranch.

A quote from an ERT instructor "It is far faster to put a red dot on a target than it is to line up iron sights, especially in low light conditions or while wearing a resperator" He also made the point of the psychological disconnect that optics provide. You put the dot (green triangle) on the...

The Canadian Reserve system is not very well advertised. The USNG has a better advertising campaign going on in Canada right now than the CF. Pick up a Popular Science or Popular Mechanics magazine and there are a half dozen adds for the US military. I hear adds on the US radio stations and see...

Umm the Dutch are from Holland.

In reality it is powered by a Gas turbine. Kind of like the difference between a motor and an engine. I know little details.

Not sure if we have some special pull but we have 30 FNs on the way, 20 for Enemy force w/ full EIS and 10 for display and mounting. It will be a better life than the smelter for them.

Quote from Armalite (remember they developed the weapon we call the C7) "CLEANING SOLVENTS AND LUBRICANTS The military Services generally use a multipurpose chemical called CLP (cleaner, lubricant, and preservative) sold commercially as “Break Free.” Although it is useful if nothing else is...

All I know is I am now down to my last pair of presentable combat pants and supply considers it my problem as they are out of stock.  My replacement boots have been on order for 6 months and they no longer exchange the green combat socks as they are out of the system (so they say). sigh So I...

Just remember that your Cadet rank means nothing to the trained soldiers you are with. We have had a number of Cadets on exercise who are unwilling to accept this fact, which has eroded the relationship between between my Reg't and our Cadets.

Simple green, hot water and a bunch of scrub brushes and the brushes from your cleaning kit. Oil it up with CLP let it sit for a while then scrub it clean with soapy water and all the brushes. Dry it with compressed air and oil it up again. I treat my weapons like machine tools and clean them as...

Hey Ex-Dragoon birth control is the one question that shows a persons grounding in reality. I liked yours. Now if you had gone off on a rant about birth control in schools leading to moral decay and pre-marital sex I would have been saddened.  :'( If they were able to ban swingers clubs what...

Why would the president need to rely on media reports? I thought his military was supposed to keep track of that kind of thing and send the info up the chain.

Ah spring break 96' but with midgets and an extra dude.   Now X what is your position on birth control and sex education? Remember that there is still a large group who believe that both are indecent and are eroding the morals of our society. This sure beats Christmas day television Oh and...

Have you seen the pics on the news? I wish I hadn't I know it is a little off topic but I never understood why I, or other people are limited to one wife? Is it to protect me from myself or to give the less desirable men a shot at getting hitched?   Hmm a dozen women micro managing my life...

SO, if you think single parent families are a bad thing and lead to an increased crime rate you should logically support access to abortion as it reduces the creation of single parent families and thus prevents crime. Or do you support increased crime? pick one Welcome to catch 22, its coming...
