Here is your warp drive. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/07/28/warp-speed-engine.html

The fact that some people receive the TW raingear does not imply that the CTS contract has been awarded.  Your assumption is wrong and the websitre is right. The TW raingear for the Land Forces is being procured in small batches by the National Procurement side of NDHQ, with money from the...

No contract awarded yet.  So any info about that would be pure speculation.

There is no such thing as a Mark 4 boot, nor will there be.  I shall assume you are referring to the GPB.

Anybody know which variants the author is talking about?  As far as I know, there is no plan to buy different variants, just a project for Life Extension.

Cold Wet Weather Boots are a CEMS (Air Force) item.  They are not slippery on cold surfaces.  ??? http://www.forces.gc.ca/cems/ItemsAndClothing/Footwear/CWWB_e.htm

Wishful thinking that only exists in imagination.  :'( Unfortunately, there are laws that regulate the way the Canadian taxpayer money is invested into capabilities (none of them are CF limitations, they are Canadian govt laws).  Long story short: -If there are more than 1 manufacturer in...

It's so easy...   ::) Could you please name one canadian-manufactured combat boot which, in your opinion, would fit the requirements of the Land Forces?  In order to start building that list of approved footwear, I mean...

More than 50 AHSVS have been paid for and delivered.  They are purchased.  They are in use in theater.   See http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/LF/english/6_1_1_1.asp?id=2141 or http://www.dnd.ca/site/newsroom/view_news_e.asp?id=2280 or ...

Much better...  ;D  The article is way more realistic in that it explains that freezing is dependant upon many factors other than the drop in temperature.  Saying it's three times faster might be true only in very specific cases...

??? You will have to explain that one very slowly...

Not really.  Air Force (CEMS) boots are all CSA grade 1 safety boot.  The GPB is not.  The CSA rating involves many things the Land Forces are not interested in, like (heavy) steel toes, (heavy) sole puncture protection, etc...  They are good protective boots, but not good walking or fighting...

The other typical map option is the paper 1:50 000 map you will receive for free from the CF.  It is quite up-to-date, it never runs out of batteries and shows great detail.  It should be plastified to show its complete potential. Seriously, the Topo map from Garmin is useful, but pale in...

SMMT, If, when wearing the narrowest sized GPB and the CSS, the speed lacing loopholes touch, or if your foot travels, then you need and deserve special sizing footwear.  It's not a matter of opinion. If the boots don't fit because you wear non-issued socks, then it's not the system...

Vern provided the reference from From the CFSM (Canadian Forces Supply Manual) Vol 3, Ch 13, Sec G, Art 002, para 5b: b.  If after being fitted IAW Measuring and fitting of footwear (3-13G-003) an individual is found to have a foot size, which does not fall within the range of standard...

Since this is a combat clothing thread, I will assume that you are referring to fleece outergarment.  It is actually a decent argument not to wear it as the outer layer, if there is a flash/flame/fire threat in your vicinity:  Coleman stoves in artic tents comes to mind.  Reminds me of an...

I did not mean to come off as snarky either.  ;) The LFTSP program is a year long intensive course into the basic vocabulary, science and process of kit procurement.  Even after the course, the system seems slow, sluggish, unwieldy and alien.  I am often amazed that it actually works at...

Problem solved in less two lines, from idea to definition, financial expenditure authority, testing, user trial, requisition, bid evaluation, contracting, distribution and implementation.  ::) Oversimplification is a wonderful thing: I don't see what is so difficult about winning the war in...
