MK III with Vibram.  Just make sure your cobbler uses a good glue or adds toe screws.  Lesson learned.  :'(

Thank you George, All good sites.   I'm familiar with most, the rest I have bookmarked. However, I'm looking for info on the TUAV currently being used by the CF.   I watched the thing get launched in Wainwright about 14 days ago and spoke to one of the ground crew.   He was the guy who packed...

By who?

Hello all, I have been handed a fastball and am required to produce a vehicle brief on the CF's TUAV this Friday.   I have been back in the Int Section for approx 24hrs and all my contacts and OSINT resources have changed since 2002. Anyway, sob story aside, does anyone have any good links...

HEI-T: High Explosive Incendiary with Tracer Used to engage targets outside the range of the 7.62mm Coaxial MG

Classic.  I hope you have either made it past J-Stage or, alternately, would not be caught dead in a maroon/sky blue garment.  ;)

Answer #1: The weight load marches on SQ range from a 5km march with a 10kg rucksack during week one to a 10km march with a 24.5kg rucksack during week five. This all culminates with the LFCPFS 13km march, commonly known as the BFT. Answer #2: The SQ I just taught on was 100% infantry.  Our...

This post brings to mind a comment made to me by a friend at DHTC prior to my departure on SAR pre-selection.  He said "Don't worry about it man, they can't kill you."  Truer words were never spoken.  So, for those of you that consider BMQ, or any other course for that matter, to be...

Shukran Yukon, I was fortunate during my study of MSA to have a Palestinian and an Egyptian in my battalion to guide me along.  I'm hoping to draw upon my basic knowledge of Arabic script to assist me with Pashto.   Pieman, Thanks for your input.  I noticed on their website that I can...

I'm curious if anyone here has ever used any of their products.  I'm considering purchasing the Level 1 Pashto CD-ROM.  If anyone has any comments or reviews it would be most appreciated.

Are you perhaps talking about the C-9? The CZP for a C-9 is 125mm above the Point of Aim when fired at the 100m point with sights set at 300.

I'm instructing on a Reg Force SQ and the youngest is 18 and the oldest 32.  Out of 42 candidates, 26 are 19 years old.

Ouch!  Be nice my Ric-a-dam-doo maroon brother.  ;)  And we took gold in 2002 as well, even with several winning members having come off Op Apollo, so that's no excuse.  :)

Does anyone know the Top Runner, Top Master and Major Unit standings from this year?
