A a reservist I would rather see 17.5 MILCOTS in the parking lot than 1 armoured vehicle worth 1 million. As Gunners we have a close relationship with the reg force Artillery, love us or hate us we do our jobs and do them well.

Use your ARTHUR to locate and your UAVs to track the vehicles movements to find out where the weapons cache is located before putting a guided 155 shell in their trunk.

I still can't figure the Conservatives out. They are pissy when the Liberals take to long to buy something ( Cyclone) and are pissy when they act in haste (M-777). They bitch about the subs being a waste of money yet they have no real alternative (forget nukes, not going to happen kids). After...

Pure stupidity. $650 million would be better spent cleaning our hospitals and preventing infections. How many people die every year due to improper cleaning of our hospitals? Or we could salt more stairs, did you know that you have a 50% chance of death in the 12 months following a hip...

20+ year old army trucks are a liability in peacetime and do not require a restoration they require a far more cost effective solution, replacement. Our fleet is suffering from rust out and pimping your ride is not going to fix the problem.

As a reservist the worst thing that can happen to a unit is a combined Mess. How can you bond with your fellow troops or throw a party with the CO sitting in the corner? Naked beer sliding? not going to happen in a combined mess. 

Sigh, I am very disappointed by this announcement. I was in fact hoping that they would ban cars to prevent the accidents caused by stolen vehicles. I live on the west coast and until the RCMP gets their collective sh*t together and stops the "Angels" from bringing in guns and coke in by the...

I have been told that explosives are now being cast in the shape of cinder blocks , complete with remote detonator. Stop car in traffic open door and drop it off on the side of a road used by occupying forces. Then just maintain overwatch and wait for a target to get near enough to warrant a...

Time to step out of the box for a look back in time. When the Germans invaded Denmark during WW2 my grandfather along with his father and brothers resisted until they were all killed or deported. They felt it was their duty as citizens. Now not everyone felt the same way, and those who...

I feel a LOAC lecture coming on.

Anyone who claims the MLVW has enough power has never driven one through the Rockies. The brakes are what really scare me though.

1" at 200m from a Mini 14 is the kind of grouping you would get signed and witnessed at the range. Past 300m you might want to step up to a 7.67mm rifle.  

Cost? What about the training value of the deployment? We pay for a great number of exercises every year in the quest for training and experience, here we can double dip. Training and international relations.

Used with prudence it could allow us to ride on others R&D budgets. It could also allow senior brass to pave their way to cushy consulting jobs with defence contractors as is often the case down South. 

Not to be a dick but all steel will rust, even stainless (trust me). If it will form an oxide over eposed metal it is probably hot dip galvanized steel. The zinc will provide limited protection to the steel. Weight reduction and corrosion resistance were the reason Hummers have aluminum bodies. 

The costs from SNC also include the maint costs of larger manufacturing capability. We could buy cheaper from the US but if there was ever a shortage we as a foreign nation would be first to have our allotment redirected, just like in the last few world wars. If we were to buy more ammo the...

There are other long term preservatives which work quiet well. And I do not mean CLP which is junk.

"Coexistence with aggressive regimes or expansionist, theocratic, and totalitarian ideologies is not in fact possible. One should welcome this conclusion for the additional reason that such coexistence is not desirable, either." Pot meet kettle. "They" can spin it all "you" want but they...

We are witnessing the awesome power of raw yet focused stupidity.

My first timing the morning of the service in Vancouver was 4am, and I was at the service or the Seaforth armoury until 4pm so I like most had a decent shadow going.
