Here is a review of the jacket. http://lightfighter.net/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/8406084761/m/1291038232

Least appealing aspect of the Infantry? Lack of female co-workers .... :P ;D

Gotta love live fires.  It only PROVES that they are necessary, more of them needed.  How would you like to have had this happen in Afghanistan for instance? At least no one got hit ... right?

I am a civilian (right now).  Accordingly I can call it how I see it and am not bound the the QRO's.  I must appologize also because I do have a rather large chip on my shoulder.  When I initially signed up I was explicitely NOT allowed to attend phase training.  Not was I or others allowed to...

http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2006/04/22/militia-060422.html "Lieut. William Turner was another reservist who died in the explosion. Born in Toronto and stationed in Edmonton, the letter carrier volunteered to replace Lieut. Trevor Greene, 41, the reserve member of the...

This whole thread has been VERY educational in more ways than you can imagine. Piper, think about what you are saying and advocating.  remember a time and place where minor criminals were beaten for stealing (1993 Somalia???), to be made an example of, and the wider implications it had on the...

Depends on your definition of them doing their job.  If 'keeping the peace' is their job then restraint is in order.  If kicking ass is their job then go in with billy clubs flying against women and children and see how Canadians react.  Don't forget all those protestors are Canadians too and...

Well RANGER, you should earn the name before you use it.  If my mum nicknamed me General I wouldn't go around having people call me General or log onto a military website as a General.  Earn the tab, earn your way into a Ranger unit (be it a Rocky Mountain Ranger or an Arctic Ranger or from the...

That would be the worst thing to do, it would galvanize people across Canada to engage in supportive public disorder of whatever kind.  Cooler heads on BOTH sides need to prevail.  Going in swinging away is just going to make matters worse.  You are taking this personally when it is not. The...

This place sells my favourite 'compression' underwear.  They deliver to Canada. http://www2.victoriassecret.com/collection/?cgname=OSBRPBUSZZZ&cgnbr=OSBRPBUSZZZ&rfnbr=2785 ;D

Exactly.  Crosss fit is good if you know what you are doing and dont buy all the BS hype. The best thing about it is it is short and intense.  For raising your metabolism this is more effective than long and moderate, ie its the best way to lose weight. Edited to add, Thank you for the links CAC.

10 guys, each with a ruck weighing probably 70 - 90lbs doing an insertion. I have putted along in one on that course.  They need bigger and faster boats. Like this.

Ranger Al, What kind of "Ranger" are you?

I love the pic of the overloaded, underepowererd zodiak. ;D So (I will try to word this as delicately as possible) will the CPC/LAWC now be running green phase? 

I have been told by a distributor that it is considered an off road all terrain vehicle (similiar to a quad) for registration and insurance purposes.  If you tried to take one on road I imagine you would need a class 4 license because of the seating capacity.

Mink Oil.  Mink oil the hell out of them and keep reapplying.  It will soften up the leather.  If you keep reapplying it long enough they will feel like moccassins. I would prefer that to the Neets foot oil trick. The one point i would add to the post is to take good care of your feet invest in...

A question for the SME's here. What will happen to R23A qualified officers (myself being one), now that the courses are combined (reserve and regular)?  Will R23A qualified officers be eligible to upgrade to 23A qualifications?  Will they be able to join the courses already running to upgrade...

I vote Subaru or Toyota.  Sub make excellent vehicles with good fuel economy big plus with the all wheel drive.. 

Please excuse any profanities I may have missed. ;D
