I suspect that they are thinking for a Defensive mission that a 120mm is a 120mm, and are not as concerned about protection by using fixed fitting run up positions (possibly with OHP) - and able to get more bang for their buck.

You need a blend of both American and British outlooks -- the Brit models don't work due to their pop densities, and even the American won't not just due to budget and personnel, but also Canadian population density is less than 10% of the US. I hate to say it, but you need a Canadianized model...

I mean I long ago gave up trying to figure out BC Politics. Other than it usually does exactly what I would be doing the opposite of.

Should not those who are committing criminal offenses just be deported, and not punish the law abiding ones????

When I first went to Gagetown and then later Wx and Suffield (RV) I was amazed (coming from Pet) how big the training areas where -- then you come down here - and it is crazy - heck there are larger impact areas at NTTR outside of Vegas than anywhere in Canada. Given the Area of Canada, and...

The E7/E8/GlobalEye whatever also is actively emitting - much more power than the F-35's would anyway - but while the F-35 is a stealthy plane - even with a low probability of intercept radar active that is a significant increase in EM signature -- better to have them "cloaked" and strike unseen...

IMHO there should be carve outs for any GoC personnel OUTCAN for pretty much everything. Snowbirds, well that is on their own schedule, so I don't see the same issue as people who are out of the country by direction and in employment of the crown. I mean if Provinces can make allowances for...

The fact there is no carve out for deployed service members is just another example of the GoC ignoring the CAF and its personnel.

Maybe there is some hope for Canada.

Yeah originally I had a cheeky comment about how the Recce troop left three months early to get the positions surveyed. But then was more curious if they even did it like that anymore.

And a very very stable platform. I’m not sure if I’d trust handheld for that. But what’s a few 100mils between friends right? :ROFLMAO: Survey Troop ;) Director -Director from known point. . Wonder if they still actually do that

They do share some sensor data. I don’t for minute believe they share code.

Is that seriously the GPO with a prismatic compass?

The problem with that is then you are on your own for updates. So none of the updated threat data will be available. Like any software you aren’t hostage to it, if you have the time, technical expertise, and money to invest in a replacement. The Israelis have effectively done that, but in a...

May also want to dig into what the Israelis were getting from him. No surprise he got suicided… A lot of wealthy and powerful people need to take a dirt nap for what occurred.

I think that realization is slowly occuring in many Republican members. Even in the Administration as it has again veered to some corrective action (too little too late ?) Trumps first term should have been a wake up call. As Europe fortifies its security posture, there will likely come a...

He lived just a few miles from me, and we would drive by his home now and then. While I had not seen him in a while he used to be a regular at the rifle range. Usually shooting a M1 Garand, but he had a very nice collection. RIP.

Until it snows and you have an ungodly slog. You can go from having a 10 man tent setup on hard pack that acts like a rocky outcrop in Sudbury, to tent nearly buried in a few hours in a storm. I like tracks.

Or you forget about it, and it sneaks up on you. In the town near me, the roads are awful and they just conducted a large median beautification project. I am constantly underwhelmed at what tax dollars are spent on

Interesting article - but he misses a lot of issues inside DLA that cause the delays, as well as some other issues. Part of the issue is that various Commands have not set any expectation to DLA for demand, and thus no stock is kept. DLA routinely quotes units 5 months for parts that are on...
