For some reason the phrase "The wheels spinning but the hamsters dead" popped into my head when I read this portion. Not referring to you PatrickO, just how bizarre it does sound and how one could get uniformity between a TV and 84 webbing. (Both of which I have.)

Can we return to the topic at hand - the murder of 80 Afghans.  I can definitely see a developing pattern of mass slaughter of crowds of civilians by suicide bombers in markets, gatherings etc. 

+1.  You have to take it with a healthy grain of salt.

I'm registered and will be there - hopefully not drooling too much.  :P

It may singe the buttocks a bit.

I personally don't understand why the beheading of a saint is considered the day of love.  Maybe that's why I am single.  :-\

I was issued 2 of those; never had the other kind issued to me. They do carry quite an impressive amount of clothes and kit. And yes they do have the US stenciled in black on the side of both of them.

Mods, may I recommend that we lock this topic, so as to prevent further aggravation.

I'm a member of the GGFG, and that's the story I was told, and that it somehow ended up in the hands of the IRA, recovered after a raid by British troops.

Well that takes the cake for me.

As someone who is planning on going on tour (I'm a reservist so I'm waiting for fresh information on the next Task Force for LFCA, I believe its 1-10) all of this material is outstanding. I am sure as hell glad this topic exists for those who have been in the sand box, come back and are passing...

I joined the infantry because...well honestly I still don't know why, someday I will figure it out.

That will depend on how long it will take to translate all the necessary documents into french, then back to english.

Then the Star Destroyers would have to be sponsored by the private sector (Coca-Cola, Reebok, Nike, Gucci, etc).  So if we purchased 2, one English, one French, one east coast, one west coast etc. we could have a good balance going there.

Crunchy Bucks? I thought we were using Monopoly Money?   ;D Light sabres would be scarier. Plus, you can design something to stop a blaster, light sabres can only be stopped by other light sabres.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.  OK, I can understand us getting Imperial Star Destroyers for Strategic Space Lift, and AT-ST's for Recce, now what about light sabres for infantry?

What about Darth Vadar? You can't forget about Darth Vadar.  :)

Then you have saved me a bit of a drive and a large headache.  :)

ArmyVern, I'm a reservist based in Ottawa, so I would have to go to NDHQ to get them.  Not being in a first line field unit, I highly doubt I could acquire the new, or possibly the older version, pair of snowshoes.  When I've gone previously, half the time they have been very 'stingy' is...

Practicing snowshoes means issue snowshoes, which is what I need to get.  Now whether they will give them to me is another story.
