As I've stated in other threads, I get my Mk III's resoled with Vibram every two years or so.  I believe the $60-70 is worth it.  I would love to see the CF subsidize this (even without a medical chit) but I'll still take the hit till then.  I love my feet.

Helmets On... A similar sandstorm blew in during Op Apollo.  It will be remembered by most members of the 3VP BG as the day it rained mud.  The icing on the cake was that approx. 30 mins earlier, Art Eggleton was standing on a podium addressing us in regards to the hardships we faced while on...

I've "counselled" several members of my company on their insistence to wear the stealth suit as an outer garment.  I emphasize that I am not concerned with uniformity, but rather I would hate to see their $120 piece of kit rendered useless by a sharp twig.

The look of utter disbelief after we told the Czechs we were working with that we don't beat Gypsies in our AOR.

For underwear, I've found nothing beats my Polartec Power Dry.  It's light, breathable, soft and odor resistant.  In extreme cold, Underarmour Cold Gear is outstanding. http://www.polartec.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/209

It all depends on your trade and entry program. The www.dnd.ca recruiting page lists the lengths of various courses.

English is my primary language. French in elementary school. German in high school. Arabic in University. A minute amount of Serbo-Croat, Farsi and Pashtu from deployments. I tried to learn Irish but realized it wasn't practical.

Whenever someone metions "RHIP" I respond with "RHIR"   Anyone care to venture a guess as to its meaning? P.S.  It's my 100th Post, maybe it's time for me to start getting a little saucy...

The only people who get them paid for(in my unit at least) are those with medical chits.  Now it's more common for those with foot problems to be issued Fort Lewis Danners.  I still don't mind paying the $60 for a comfy pair of boots.

I agree with CFL.  The Mk III is an excellent boot, with the exception of the sole.  I swear by the flat foot vibram sole with the extra wedge cushion.  If only I could get the army to subsidize it.

I never liked the PPCLI Medley.  And now that we have moved to Shilo, I would like to see the 2nd Battalions march changed from Marche Winnipeg to something else.  Any suggestions?  I'm partial to the Imperial March by John Williams.

Are you asking about the conduct of a Recce patrol?

Jabraun, you are broken and unreadable, words twice...over.

Fury as Serbs boo Bosnian anthem A group of Bosnian Serb army recruits has booed the Bosnian national anthem and refused to pledge allegiance to Bosnia at a swearing-in ceremony. The recruits were the first ex-Bosnian Serb soldiers asked to swear loyalty to the Bosnian state since the...

I was taking my platoon through the Indirect Fire Trainer and the last Pte to go was correcting fire.  He competently got on line and began his bracketing.  The exchange went someting like this: G12 this is 33A, Drop 800, over... G12 this is 33A, Add 400, over... G12 this is 33A, yo, back...

That's quite possibly the funniest thing I have heard so far in 2005.    ;D
