I think it's either/ or. We call it FAT at our unit, while the RCD's accross the street call it SAT.

I too have no idea what mechanism actually causes you to want to puke when you over exert yourself, but from My experience, no matter how hydtrated you are, if you go hard enough you could find yourself tossin' your cookies regardless. :-X

Well like Dave said, they are already employed overseas doing that task and have been for awhile. I personnally have never heard anything going terribly wrong with them in that role either. Quite frankly, I believe they can do the job just as well as any Reg Force troops, as long as they are...

Well if your unit is anything like mine, you will normally do a 100% on the same LAV about 6 a times a year as it's been back and forth from Coy to Coy. I imagine that is the reason why there are so many defects among them. Everyone and their dogs are cycling through the same vehicles at a...

Well I know that Alienware makes some pretty high-end fancy looking stuff, but they're a total scam. You can get the same system for nearly half the price elsewhere. The computer I have now is one that was built for me by my brother and it's a pretty decent system, and if I were to buy another...

I know this thread is a bit old, but instead of starting a new one I thought I'd just as here. Does anyone here use Mac? I'm in the market for a new computer and I am considering 'Making the Switch' I"ve been using only PC for the last...well forever I guess and I've been messing around with my...

I'm very interested to know exactly what kind of union this 30% is supposedly supporting. My only experience with a union was 3 years under C.A.W. also referred to as 'Cry and Whine' During those few years I noticed that a union is good for 2 things: 1. Getting lazy people out of work they...

That rules...I really don't know what to say ;D

I honestly believe there should not be any 'work-up' training for a BFT. If you can't go out and do 13km with 40 lbs on your back in less than 2 hrs 26 mins, then you have failed yourself only. In my opinion, it should be longer, with more weight. It should be an absolute challenge everytime you...

Best reply so far lol.

I like to think of running as a 'Necessary Evil.' It's not something that everyone likes to do or is good at, but it has to be done to stay in shape. Sure you can go to the gym and do other cardio as a whole or on your own time, but it seems to me that it needs to be done as a group to keep guys...

Some outfits like to do platoon pt or atleast within the section, but it is hard to do seeing as you will normally be on scheduled shift work which may conflict with PT. From what I have seen, it is usually up to the individual to keep up with PT on their own time and stay in shape. Although I...

I beg to differ. Regardless of how you decide where you're going to put your troops in the game, doesn't do anything to further develop already existing skills or 'tactics.' A 10 year old can do that. But I guess we are a different generation and some will defend precious video games over actual...

No it's not a Regimental training aid or any type of army wide training. As I said, we have them because it was paid for by the troops out of the canteen fund.

Well Greg I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.  Playing Ghost Recon at work doesn't really contribute any training value at all in my eyes. You can't really do too much in terms of coordinating thought out attacks, defenses or anything of the like with a Tom Clancy game, whereas...

Franko said it best: Have some pride in your unit and support your kitshop. Thats a much better alternative to wearing the original issued PT gear...ugh.

We had a guy in the klinker here on base a year or 2 ago from our unit, and we had guys on shifts for 2 weeks watching him. Why don't the MP's do it theirselves? Perhaps they are even more under manned than we are, or it just makes too much sense. ??? It's quite a drag for the rest of the guys...

Ok, so they got the slime when they said ' I don't know' Anyone remember what they had to say to get water dumped on them??? I always claimed I hated that show when it was on, but found myself watching it everyday. :blotto: Nice to see though, it's something I probably would have never...

The only episode I've seen is the one that is previewed on the Family Guy 'Freakin' Sweet Collection.' I thought it was pretty good, not quite as good as family guy, but lots of potential... I'll still watch it before I watch any of the new crap they're putting out for Simpsons episodes.

I have no idea as to who exactly used them, but I'd like to know where you acquired it from if you don't mind?
