    DP3B Rant

    I see my rant had the desired effect.  Firstly I was talking about DP3B, which is run every year not one of a dozen BMQ's.  I have been around long enough to understand why BMQ/SQ type courses get cancelled but the senior courses are different as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't be upset if it...

    DP3B Rant

    I'm going to go on a bit of a rant here, so bear with me. I'm sure I'll get some appropiate responses as well.... I was slated to go on DP3B(6B) this year in Gagetown, as I work for the Federal Gov't (Corrections) I had to get the time off. I used some of my holidays as well as Military Leave...

    Looking to Buy a Patrol Pack

    If you want solid, well-built, then go with the Tactical Tailor 3 Day Pack in Cadpat from Dave's Surplus.  They have a website as well but the bags aren't on it. If you want to see one just go to Tac Tailor and check out the OD one. However they are not cheap, around $189 from Dave's, tell them...

    C9 Cloth Ammo bags

    Kevin, Are you sure those weren't an operational purchase? If they are in the system does anyone have the stock number so I can talk my RQ into ordering some. As far as buying privately, I have only ever seen them on Ebay, and they are few and far between. Has anyone seen them for sale here...

    Operational Usefullness of Reserve Forces

    You're right, I am starting to generalize. I guess I thought that the whole reg/reserve thing went out in the 90's!

    Operational Usefullness of Reserve Forces

    As a guy who was there I can say this: 1. We did three months of work-up 2. There were incidents almost as soon as we got on the ground 3. A lot of guys had tours - to Cyprus 4. Yes the majority of leaders leaders in the rifle coys were regs, and some pretty damn good ones too, but, there...

    Operations in Built-Up Areas (OBUA)

    The point I was trying to make was it's hard to train for every scenario.  Personally, I would rather move from the top down, mouseholing all the way. It causes a lot of damage but more of your guys are going home.  If you train for high-intensity, it will be easier to transition down than it...

    Operations in Built-Up Areas (OBUA)

    We are in the midst of training for Urban Ops. There seems to have been a shift from all-out (high-intensity) fighting to this 3 block war concept. The question is: how do we train for all three blocks???? It's more common nowadays to enter a building and find everything from a family eating...

    Opportunity for Reserve deployment [Merged]

    The rumour going around on the left coast is that there is going to be a new version of the CRIC (Composite Reserve Infantry Company) going to Afghanistan in early 2006. That rumour originated from our Ops shop.

    Tac Vest does not make the grade.

    Did you get it with all the armour upgrades, or just the vest. I've heard they're pretty good.  How would you rate it?

    Standard Mag Issue

    I believe in train how you will fight. I think keeping the issue at 5 mags per is a logistical decision more than a tactical one. I don't know about other units, but mine does not train troops to fire auto. It takes too much time and training to teach troops how to do it properly so we keep it...

    Tac Vest does not make the grade.

    Looks like I would have to remortgage my house to own one of those!!

    Standard Mag Issue

    No you can only buy pinned mags in Canada thanks to one Mr. Mark Lapine. That way when you go on a shooting spree it forces you to get good at mag changes!
