Just a question for dropzone, how much real estate is there on your modular chest rig? how many pouches can you fit? I was thinking of 3 triple mag pouches, two C9 pouches with grenade pouches piggybacked, as well as one or two field dressing pouches and a rolly polly dump pouch. Also, do you...

I am a second year history major at the University Of Alberta. I am writing a research paper on weaponry currently being used in the Iraq war. I am confident in my knowledge of the weapons (M16A2, M4, M240B, AK47/74, etc), however I need some decent sources. Currently all mine are off of the US...

I wear Asics Gel 1100, they are almost all mesh, so the feet stay cool, but still manage to keep a comfortable and stable grip on my foot. They work really well for me.

the theroem is that the top of the plane is dark, while the bottom is a light color. this is to confuse the enemy, as if they are looking up at you from the bottom, you blend in with the sky, and if they are looking down at you, you blend in with the ground.

The unfortunate deckhand was not sucked completely through the engine. What you see in that video exiting through the exhaust is his clothes. he was trapped up against the front cone holding the fan blades on. I had though the same when I first saw that video, but I later saw a documentary on...

I have seen a bird get caught on a fishing lure, I have seen a fish choke to death on another fish, I have seen an eagle catch fish out of a guys hand. however I have never seen fish attack a boat. that was truly hilarious.

I have a couple of problems with the new SPS. First, rather than hugging your back, and curving with your spine to feel comfortable, it just sits there like a jerrycan with straps. Even with light loads (around 10-20lbs) after a short while I can start to feel the strain of the stupid thing...

I'm sure that is just as safe and effective as firing the C6 from the shoulder. Lets give it a try. Hey, and while we are at it, lets fire the 60mm mortar while balanced on the thigh in the standing position too. Its got that curved base plate... it should fit nicely on the meaty part of a...

Thats just Baaaaaah-d. Kinda remids me of the story I heard of a fine young gentlemen from the south (the deeep south) who wanted to marry his Mustang GT. the father of the bride being henry ford, and her birthplace being detroit. can anyone confirm that story about the autophile? seems almost...

I am not a big fan of the new leather cadpat gloves, I find they lack dexterity, as well as I cant fit a liner under them. The mortar glove though, its like the southbound end of a northbound cat. they feel like a winter weight flight glove, and work really well. Grippy leather palm, Relativly...

I've found that there are Two varieties of hatch kneepad. one version has three grommets holding the cap on, and the other has four. the version with four grommets has padding that wraps partially around the back of the knee to add more comfort. I've used them plenty, and have not found a...

The painfully left wing attitude of the university campus. "so, like, are you like, in the army or something?" or "could you like, shoot that guy for me?" (at recruiting events that one is particularly common) near constant cell phone usage Emo kids...I don't know why, the whole " I'm sad no one...

Hear Hear. DKM is right at the top of my favorites list. Personal favorite songs include: your spirits alive, green fields of france, the auld triangle, barroom hero, forever, fields of athenry, and several others.

I have a German Shepard Sheba, Two cats Boomer and Trouble, and I had a red albino cornsnake for a while (Turns out one of the people i live with has a serious phobia of them...oops.)

The Distillers and the Epoxies here.

the website is up, but only the mainpage. the sections leading to the weapons and other areas are still under construction.

Does anyone know if there is any protests or demonstrations planned at the U of A?

I heard someone in higher forgot to sign some lines of some forms, so now we dont get to go. just rumor though, no proof thus far.

Sgt "Evening private, how are you" Pte "Very well Sergeant" Sgt "Do you actually think I care? the answer is no, but its a good way to get the night rolling. more work on the boots." This exchange took place at the end of SQ, while waiting in like to turn in weapons. Course CQ- "You know what...
