The Offspring - Can't Repeat

One of the latest TTP's in Afghanistan is for insurgents to disguise IED material as individual food packets and carry them by hand across the border from Pakistan. FYI: The CF now distinguishes IED's by their method of delivery.  They range from the expected to the absurd: RCIED - Remote...

One of the Russian Lessons Learned from Chechnya was that BMP's and BTR's were particularly vulnerable to the ubiquitous RPG-7.  Their solution was the BMP-4.  It is an up armoured APC, created from a T-54/55 chassis. I'll try to find a picture.

Remember, it may be the OC's company, but it's your platoon.  Always fight for what you think is best for your troops.  You may not always win, but the troops will respect you more for your efforts.

I was about to ask the same question.

Well it was truck after truck, but we all got stuck, except the big ol' 4 x Hutterite truck. We all bought a load of wheat and luck, but he wouldn't come anywhere near us...Mighty neighborly. Mighty neighborly.

Corb Lund Band - The Truck Got Stuck

Former psychology student? Did you perhaps grow tired of studying the intangible and got down to some serious science? Why are you distraught?  The CF recognizes PTSD as a serious issue.  So do the majority of service members.  Bruce pointed out that most of the posts in this forum are...

NOFX - No Fun In Fundamentalism

System Of A Down - Lonley day

I prefer a rousing game of "Paper, rock, rank..."

Why, what did you do?  ;)

Just finished On Combat.  I like how it expands on the theories presented in On Killing, but is written in a "self help" style. Lt Col Grossman will be speaking to the 2nd Battalion on 9 Dec.  I'm looking quite forward to it.

Exactly. The right angle hook and "Z' hook can find carbon anywhere on a C-7 or C-6.  The C-9 is still a burden when it comes to cleaning.

Not necessarily the best pieces of kit,  but when it comes time to maintain our weapons, everyone asks to borrow my Shave Brush and Electrician Hook Set.  I keep both in a gun tape re-enforced Ziploc bag with a hunk of Brillo pad.

The new SOAD album.   It was leaked, and it is brilliant. Initially, I was disappointed, but after subsequent listens, I'll be the first in line at CDPlus on the morning of the 22nd. >:D PM me if you want to know where to find the official pre-release streaming audio

This is another example of Army.ca mirroring the CF, in that I have noticed a trend towards peer-assessment on several courses within the last few years.   The Corey Graham Peer Leadership Award in Wainwright is a good example.   It is true that some individuals may use this opportunity to...

In response to your questions: 1)  There is a seperate course for all three positions(however, see answer #3); 2)  The duration depends on how compressed the CI decides to run them, usually between 6-8 weeks; 3)  You do not have to take them sequentially, My first course was C/C, which also...
