    The Rugby Thread- Merged Over The Years

    Although I generally prefer rugby union over rugby league one of the best live sporting events I've ever attended was the Dubai 7's. We certainly made the most of the bucket of 10 Heinekens for 50 bucks deal they had going!

    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    I contacted the PIL folks this week and was told that they were just wrapping up files from December 2012. With my release date being Feb 2013 I'm not anticipating any payout before the summer.

    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    Lowa's are brilliant and that's what I'd be spending my money on if I wanted a non-issue boot!

    Westboro Church Protest Mega-thread

    One thing I found interesting about Fred Phelps was that he was a big proponent for the African American civil rights movement. So apparently he only hated some people.

    I am not doing enough, am I?

    First of all IMO there is no such thing as showing up for course too fit. Your fitness level is the only thing you have control over before you start your courses. The course staff will throw all kinds of crap at your to increase your stress level but if you're fit and you don't struggle with...

    Taliban claim victory over "defeated" Canada

    Of course they claimed victory in the same way that the IRA claimed to have never been defeated by the British army. Except that the last time I checked N. Ireland was still part of the U.K.

    3.5km in 22 mins

    I don't wanna be the bearer of bad news but as a young fit recruit an 8 minute mile shouldn't be such a tall order. That means you should be able to do 5km in about 24-25 minutes. If you're doing a 10 minute mile or 5km in 30 minutes you've got a way to go. You might wanna do some things like...

    Wanted: 1000 x new rucksacks for (at least some of) CF

    No not at all but I've been told that they're at some point issuing a new pattern of uniform to the CF and when I saw that these new rucks were to be made in multi-cam I thought that perhaps that was the direction the new uniforms were going. It hadn't occurred to me that this procurement was...

    Wanted: 1000 x new rucksacks for (at least some of) CF

    I prefer the uniform styles that are being issued by our allies now in multi-cam as well as the some the after market kit that's available for example some of the stuff that produced by Crye Precision. Unfortunately there isn't as much kit produced in CADPAT as obviously we're the only force...

    Wanted: 1000 x new rucksacks for (at least some of) CF

    Sorry I guess I got a bit excited thinking there was a possibility that the next issue of CF uniform would be in multi-cam.

    Wanted: 1000 x new rucksacks for (at least some of) CF

    I read the specs and found it odd that it's proposed to be made in multi cam. I was under the impression that the CF wasn't looking to change from CADPAT.

    Hamilton soldier fighting a battle … for work

    Sorry but I can't be sympathetic here. Life is about choices and to go 23 years without managing to find meaningful employment IMO is a failing of the individual not the system.

    Can a mess committee be "fired" by higher?

    Part of the problem with some of these old buildings and why repairs or renovations can't just be done adhoc is because many of them contain asbestos and even just taking down some drywall can run the risk of exposing people. The C.O of my former reserve unit made this mistake and ended up...

    Broken service and CD

    Your service not only doesn't have to be consecutive but it also doesn't have to be with the CAF. My time with the Brits was counted towards my CD.

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    What are your thoughts on my second question? If I have the financial ability to purchase rpg's, stingers, and any other manor of military grade hardware should I be able to?
