Ok on this topic , i just talked to the soldier from the american unit that did that and it was not a tool! It was an issue about hygene. They secured the area after the fire fight and were told to hold the ground. They were there for as few days , so they had to get rid of the stink, so they...

KevinB, 4th and i are going on the weekend to get our shirts(non-issued! >:D) done up and i will post a pic for everyone to see! plus the one showing the dude from 3VP, i here that was the job of a Mattech within there bltn. I am going to add a pen/pencil/what ever i can get in there pouch on...

And what i mean about the Cimic and other Org. is time and money , if there is an order of march the fighting troops need this done now! If this is directed then why isn't it happening? Life is good when we as troops on the ground are miffed about pockets because we might actually use them...

Yes they don't want the troops making there own mods , but we were told from our higher , that nothing is going to be done at all! Yes Cimic do where that kit also but its not a major issue for them to get in there pockets as does Cbt arms soldiers. For this mission in TFA is alot different for...

Ok ! more on this and i am hope someone with some rank on this site can tell me whats up! i received an email on the subject of the pockets on the sleeves. Well i guess the CDS, yes the CDS, said that he highly recommends that the pockets get put on the sleeves for the next Roto to TFA. Well...

thx! i heard US army guys there for 24 mths also! i was like "thats nuts"

HOOOWA!

So i guess when the americans hang this Killer, the family , living here in Canada, will blame us for his murder. Funny isn't it! :threat:

Another good read is "March Up to Bagdhad" its about to embedded retired Marine Officers. One of the best reads for me anyways in a while. Great stories, plus one the tells about how this Marine Cpl commanded a squad in taking one of the most important objectives in the war.

Hey don't get me wrong it is alot better then the past , but he was asking which military should he join. So i just want to state some options USA=IRAQ= 1 yr service there=Bad Odds compared to CANADA=AFGHANISTAN= 6 mths=Better odds. But like i said , if i knew then what i know now about the...

So i guess you are getting your answer and well here's mine. Since being raised by a Marine father and living down there till around the early 80"s i say go south my boy! better everthing when it comes to life. But one problem that i say to people who ask me " why didn't you join the Marines"...

Well the first thing is that we need freakin buttons instead of zippers , i dunno how many cbt pants i have turned in geeezzz. second i thing we need to rethink the cbt shirt. Since we are going to an age of Flax and TV on at all times i think we need pockets of some type on the sleeves. I am...

Since we are talking about exercises! i remember being safety staff for the 3VP coys on there live fire trace, 1 getting ready for the PRT, and well wasn't impressed and the most checked out one was not the Para coy thats forsure. Like everyone is saying everyone , at least in the cbt arms ...

It is going to be in Pet. from what i hear, but thats makes it pretty packed there with 2 btln's from the RCR there also, poor Pembroke girls!  ;)

During Ex Phoenix Ram, An organization(nameless) that stay in the tent city there had an VIP tent set up for the United Way fund raising! Good Idea! Bad place and time! This tent had real beds with carpet, plush leather chairs and couch and tv. My problem with this is troops out there sleep in 4...

but hey i know whos not getting it, TF 1-06 because theres a shortage already and i am sure wwe can all guess who has them and who doesn't............ :threat:

KevinB thx.  Me Smart like tank! :blotto: tighter groups are important, but again in the kneeing/standing is tough. Thats why we are now doing alot of the Gunfighter program and reflex shooting which works on snap shooting. MCG usually one hit is all you need!not 5 really close together ones! ...

i kinda really hate the fact that the military doesn't pay for it! I guess all the money was spent on sex change operations.! :salute:

Yeah sorry having a long day when i posted this thread,  i was saying that grouping for score should be done in the prone not in the kneeing or standing. Yes i think everyone should  do the PWT 2/3 in the army because the way our mission our now even convoys(i.e. truckers, Medic's etc) are not...

Ok here in edmonton we just shot the PWT 1-2-3 for our deployment in Feb and i have to say the PWT 1 is useless and the reason i say this 1. it envoles grouping in the prone, sitting. kneeing and standing. I have no problem with grouping in the prone , but in the kneeing and standing come on...
