    M203 operator

    We don't use the SAT room nearly as often as we'd like due to lack of people to operate or it being out of commision. Like I said earlier though, we mainly focus on C7 principles (atleast as long as I've been using it) so we don't fire 203 on it too often. I've fired the M72 on it a few times...

    How to Pack Sleeping Bags

    That's not the only thing you may have in your valice. Depending on the time of year you may have 2 sleeping bags (inner and outer), a ground sheet, a ranger blanket and whatever else your heart may desire. I'm in the market right now for the Snugpak sleeping bag which compresses to about 1/3...

    Tattoo Thread - including current policy [MERGED]

    So has anyone heard of any actions being taken yet to remove tattoos from a member? I'm sure everyone here knows atleast one person in the army with a tattoo above the collar. Did it mention tattoos below the cuff? Hate to see any of the old dogs getting bussed to ottawa for removal of their CDO...

    M203 operator

    Well I'd have to see 48th to believe it, that's just the way I am. Not trying to call you a liar, but I don't believe everything I read. I have never used the M203 on the SATS before, I usually focus on C7/C9, plus we don't normally have anything operating other than the 2 very often.

    All Things Vegetarian/Vegan (merged)

    I have a good buddy that is a vegan. While we were in Battle School he let the instructors know about it and they informed the kitchen. They brought a different meal for him and another vegan that was on course at the time, plus there are vegetarian rations in the system. Get used to eat the...

    M203 operator

    Exactly how many rounds did you fire at the Fig. 11? If I were a betting man I may call bullshit :warstory: I've had the opportunity to fire the M203 quite a bit and I haven't, nor have I seen anyone employ it with that much accuracy. But then again, you just might be a natural.

    On the Lighter Side..... CF Rations

    In case paracowboy isn't upset enough... We used to have a CQ staff that would bring out the two burner stove and fire up hotdogs and bring out a cooler full of pops. They'd sell 2 hotdogs and a pop for 2 bucks. The Bruno special as it was known. Hotdogs can be a beautiful site after a month of...

    On the Lighter Side..... CF Rations

    They're filled with the high calorie foods for a reason: troops tend to burn a lot more calories in the field. Low calorie diets are no-good for high work - low sleep conditions. By any means, you shouldn't get too fat in the field unless you're doing something wrong.

    M113A3 for Kandahar?

    I nominate Black Watch for sandbag detail in the back of his M113 the next time it goes out for a 'swim'. I believe it's scheduled somewhere around the 12th of Never. Don't forget your lifejacket and Rubber Boot Gumbies ::) As much as I do enjoy walking...I'll stick with the LAVIII.

    PPCLI still have Anti Armour?
  13. GerryCan

    so what? I've been doing that for years

    The only thing better than pepper-potting across LFCA-TC yelling 'BANG!-BANG' is getting jacked up for not yelling it loud enough. :warstory: Sometimes Militia bullets can be good for morale, but not often.

    Hillier on Sea Kings in the Ghan'

    Well Kevin, you won't see my sorry ass getting on either ;) I'd rather walk thank you!

    Hillier on Sea Kings in the Ghan'

    Griffons can't operate well in high atltitude areas like Afghanistan, reasoning why we don't have any there. We rely on turkish blackhawks mostly.

    Cop Killing Video Game

    As well as porn being tucked away in corners away from the paws of kids, video games now all have their own ESRB rating posted on the packaging of the game ie; 18+, E or what have you. Kids can't just go into Walmart and pick up a copy of GTA if they're only 10 years old, only with their...

    Cop Killing Video Game

    Hey I have an idea! Let's institute a crazy new radical idea called parenting! Along with it comes a crazy new word called Accountability! Sound crazy? It just might be... If you don't want kids to play violent video games, don't let them. If your kid goes out one day and whacks a cop, then...

    Green Day Video..Is it just me or is thiis disturbing...well distasteful anyway

    Why did they include scenes of Iraq violence in the video for a song that has absolutely nothing to do with it? So suckers will glue themselves to the screen in-between bouts of CNN. Remember Green Days career fizzling out a few years back? And here I thought it was a good thing. Now they're...

    St Jean, needs changes?

    Good point, I didn't look at it in that sense. I may have recieved the shortest straw in St Jean and thus painted everyone with the same brush. ;)

    St Jean, needs changes?

    That is correct, atleast it was in 2001 when i went through the wonderful mega. I honestly believe it could stand to be a little longer as it seems that the whole course is spent running around through that god-forsaken building missing timings, thus getting half-ass lectures from instructors...
