Brother, I could write papers on that.  In fact, I have.  The short answer is that very little of what gets through in the media is objective, almost all of it serves a higher purpose to corporations since most media companies are only a subsidiary of larger groups.  Generally these groups have...

I think you are WAY off on this one brother. Plenty of close-combat happens these days.  Battles can only be fought from a distance for so long before you must close with and destroy the enemy, right? I'm sure soldiers get separated from their weapons, especially when exhausted and under...

it seems to me that at least for BOTC it would be a valuable piece of training to add - as far as I know, all officer trades are required to learn it, no?

I couldn't have said it better myself, that's exactly how I feel.  People seem to be looking for a 'victory' but they have to realize that we are not taking over a territory, we're stabilizing one - which unfortunately, as you mentioned, involves 'holding back' the taliban so the people can make...

I missed it - worth watching or no?

It must have.  If only those choppers would come in too... Man what a tank.  As said before, almost enough to entice me onto that dusty ground of yours.

Wes, I think you're right on the money with that one - I doubt anyone here will disagree with the fact that the best way to keep current on a weapon is continuous training and use.  Makes you wonder why there isn't more of both of these...

he was correcting an earlier statement, hence his mention of its ability to offer fire support.

If only indeed.  The reasonings you mentioned really frustrate me...  I really despise the countless examples of millions wasted in either useless kit ordered or necessary kit canceled after having sunk in tons of money due to politics.

No I understand that, but what I meant was if we're not looking will it really matter?  I mean we aren't going to be persuaded, right?

I like HUD tapes.  Just not in slow-mo. hahaha  ;D

hmm, I specifically remember this one and what I was doing when I found out... I was on IAP and our MCpl came in and told us during  our first class. sad day.

sweet.  Just makes me look more forward to the griffon.

I think you answered your question right there - because we already have an ass load going on. not the mention, UWO does NOT have it's own shooting range  -  if it did, I'd be there. Mod edit : comment removed for PERSEC issues

dammit.  Griffon.  Griffon.  Griffon.  Griffon. Griffon.  Griffon.  Griffon.  Griffon. Griffon.  Griffon.  Griffon.  Griffon. That oughtta get it in there!  :warstory:

I have read them, but as a university ROTP student, it isn't practical for me to join a local range.  I meant for the future, which is why I mentioned joining the local shooting team.

but that still brings it back around to the fact that we aren't looking to replace the griffins with a utility lift... atm we're still after the chinooks which are another category altogether as we've already said, so isn't it a moot point if they try again?

All I can say is that I can't wait to get some pistol training in.  I loved learning to use the c-7, even enjoyed maintaining it, I find it satisfying. I plan on joining the local shooting team, no question. (tried here but to my knowledge one doesn't exist in london)

the idea of bringing over troops own pistols sounds unreasonable don't you think?  Biggest thing I can think of though is the need for standardization - your pistol becomes inoperable for whatever reason, you can use buddies because it's the same. (simplified, but you get it) plus need for...

thanks.  I always get that mixed up.
