    Merged Quotes and Sayings Thread; some useful, some junk

    â Å“You look like 10 pounds of sh** stuffed into a 5 pound bag, with a string tied around the middle!â ? A 'get-out-of-jail-free', PC type thingy?

    Self Defence and Protecting Canadians

    I Was An Air Cadet...

    When you said your â Å“Father Got Posted Toâ ?, I'm assuming he's CF, and that you are familiar with the military mind set and ethos. What did your dad have to say about your former squadron's NCO deportment? On par with any other cadet units, or practicing harassment? When you first saw your...

    Avro Arrow RL-206

    [Sorry, Pte (R) Joe, the Arrow had a â ?clamshellâ ? canopy.] The CF-105 replica, Toronto Aerospace Museum, is supposed to be an aluminum, static museum model, not air-worthy. http://www.torontoaerospacemuseum.com/home.html There was also a scale-prop-model from the CF-105 docu-drama-movie...

    Question: Canard-Delta Aircraft

    The latest generation of European fighter aircraft [EF-2000 Eurofighter, Dassault Rafale, Saab JAS-39 Gripen] are canard-delta in design. What are the performance pros and cons of canard-delta aircraft compared to a design such as the F-15 or F/A-18 [that has the all moving tail plane].

    Avro Arrow RL-206

    Probably a pipe dream here, but much could be learned about recycling from the USAF: 1) After WWII, USAF develop a revolutionary aircraft, the B-49 Flying Wing. 2) Aircraft was too complicated, program was cancelled, prototypes were destroyed in political hissy-fit. 3) Decades later, when...

    Attack Helicopters

    Thanks for the info on the ACH-47, Duey. I remember reading about the AC-130 serving in Vietnam, and still serving today. Thought the concept of an attack transport aircraft did work, Chinook inclusive. Though not practical (somewhat eliminating the transport desgination), I found that the...

    Military Officer charged with child pornography

    That's right, it's the convicted child molesters that the angry mobs throw out of town, when they get released to a half-way-house in their community. This guy is just a wanna-be with the internet kiddie porn. OK, civie prison,(no financial burden on DND) and let the bikers and...

    Military Officer charged with child pornography

    If this suspect is convicted, forget Club Ed; he will get a roof over his head, 3 meals a day, and medical care, all from DND's pocket. If convicted, release him from the CF (dishonourably), have him registered as a sex-offender with the civie police, and let the citizens sort him out. Mobs of...

    Lot's of Idiots

    Actions speak louder than words. If these infants would rather play X-Box/LAN games/whatever computer that they didn't pay for, rather than read a history book or learn how to write, then let them prove how much sh*t they have, for brains.

    IMPs

    LMC's are also known as RECCE Rations. I was never QL4 RECCE, but I encountered LMC's when I was working in my QM. IMP's are supposed to be non-perishable, lightweight, easy to prepare compared to hayboxes. LMC's are supposed to be more non-perishable, more lightweight, more easy to prepare...

    Goretex Boots

    The Gore-Tex membrane allows water vapour (sweat vapour) to escape from the inside, but doesn't let the smallest water droplets in from the outside. Gore-Tex boots are only effective for ankle-high submersion, as previously mentioned. The CF issue wet weather boots have been reported to have...

    Toronto demo fragments into myriad issues at Peace activists rally

    What is going through these peoples' heads? Exactly what did they productively accomplish? â ?If we whine, and complain loud enough, people will listen to us and cave into our demandsâ ?? Hate to see what type of parents these people make. They always seem to forget that Saddam Hussein was a...

    Bayonet obsolete? Not yet, apparently -

    After clearing a trench, (empting your mag), you bayonet the enemy (bayonet affixed before assaulting the trench), to finish him/her off. Should anything happen while you are changing mags, you still have your bayonet affixed to deal with any other enemy within 3m.

    Interesting new application

    Mind you, the Zeus-HLONS was firing at land-mines, and un-exploded ordinance (stationary targets) from a HMMVW, at a range of 100-300m. (The article doesn't say whether the HMMVW was moving or not.) Lt. Gen. Larry Dodgen, US Army Space and Missile Defense Command, said, â Å“Its power level and...
