"Today's Airforce: Now replacing pistols, with rifles!"

"If only my pockets didnt have holes in them..."

"The North Korean Army: Now able to supply 1 rifle for 50 troops." "How many North Koreans soldiers does it take to operate an AK-47?"

You mean halve that.

Whats the big deal? The US manages to do it. Whether you change the jobs of the individual soldiers, ie: switch a guy from assault to weapons det, you've still got the same amount of equipment. The soldier can simply switch his kit with someone elses. I dont see the big problem, especially since...

I've read the article, and the reason for this is that Dragon skin, a popular armour among US soldiers, claims to provide better protection than that which the US issues. These claims could not be confirmed, however, and USAF tests seem to indicate otherwise. It makes perfect sense, in this...

Well, I'm not quite sure what my take is on Pte's attending PLQ is... except that it seems that a lot of Ptes end up quitting, and sending them on PLQ might simply be a waste of funds. Furthermore, I also believe it hurts cohesions when a Pte, who has a worse attendance record than his buddy in...

Thats actually not a bad idea. The CF, IMO, should do something like this at a unit size. Each unit makes their own video, and the winning video recieves some sort of prize... the video can then be used, or it can be spliced with other segments of other recruiting videos.

I think they'd be better if they were more like the Slovenian recruiting video, which emphasises the idea that the military is a much more unique, exciting and adventurous job than any normal civvy job. http://www.slovenskavojska.si/video/opk/mors_eng_60s.mpg

I hope you ppl dont think that I actually advocated selecting weapons and uniforms based on how much the public would associate it with "military"...

I dont see that as a likely problem. The ads are what need to attract people to think about the military, they're not what convinces them about it. If they dont renew their contracts, its because they didnt enjoy their time in the military, or dont need to be in it anymore. Whether they joined...

I agree... I never said they need to change their uniform... but the public is ignorant on the subject, and because of that ignorance, unless they see a guy in cadpat or any other popular military uniform, they wont think about equating the ranger to the military. Would you be refering to...

Not that I agree with the following, but, do you wanna know why? That's why. People seem to only associate commonplace military uniforms to the military. A red sweatshirt isnt something that cries out "military". Face it, people see cadets parading in uniforms and berets or wedges or...

Well, I've been toying with the idea of what our country would be like if everyone had to be military trained. I figured that perhaps it would put an end to some of the stereotypes and ignorant opinions we see among the public. Perhaps mandatory military service isnt the way to go... but rather...

The universal answer: It depends on your course staff.

Thats what I did, and I found out that my street (its actually shaped like an O) is 400m in circumference. Hehehe. Perfect.

My god Naval... you didnt get the clue when I posted that it was a screamer?  ;D

Ive noticed that too. When holding the hand grip, your awkwardly has to bend around the box, I find. If the box wasnt in the way, my grip on the handgrip would be much better, I think. It doesnt cause too much of a problem though.

*sigh* I've already seen this screamer.
