Are these bags still for sale or not?  ???

Are you AWOL from this thread or was my offer just that insulting you don't want to respond? :facepalm:

Seriously?  Man, this whole thread is suspect. I will say however, I did find the large IR flags and the IFF patches to be extremely shoddily made.  Horrible stitching and overall workmanship.  Junk.

Didn't you VR at one point?  Were your motivations somehow more important?

Sorry for the thread revival, but has there been any change in this issue? I've been wondering why it is that I pay the Ontario Health Premium for some time now and finally did a search on here. It irks me.  You may call me selfish, but I hate the entire welfare state mentality that justifies...

Ouch!

Did you even read the responses in this thread?  You will need a GED as spelled out here And have you contacted a recruiter?

Situation dependant.  Yes, you can take what I said with a grain of salt... I did give cautions, but if I had waited to get my diploma I would have missed a boat load of opportunity.  It was no hindrance to my career at all and now I am getting my diploma which isn't putting me out any.  Mind...

I know it's basically moot since the question has been answered, but I want to make a point for anyone else with less then a highschool diploma who is thinking of joining. DON'T let it stop you from joining now.  I'm not sure at what point it will hinder you (maybe at the Snr. NCO level?) but...

I've never seen anyone (recently) wear Ranger or SF tabs with combats.  There isn't even provisions for them on TW combats anyway.

Sure, it might be discouraging to those that failed, I can understand that.  When I went through the recruiting process and was told to not worry, it isn't that hard, and it's a hard test to "study" for anyway I took that advice to heart and went into the test confident and unworried.  I'm a...

Exactly.  Why would you want to walk around Pet (or wherever) with the patch on?

If you want a padded sling, which I think is a bit much for a rifle, the BFG machine gun sling is decent: http://www.oneshottactical.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=oneshot&Product_Code=SL-MG2&Category_Code=SL-BFG One of my LMG gunners overseas used a different brand, can't...

Understandable. But also understand we've been told by "experts" things like how the CTS ruck is ergonomically superior or a certain pair of boots they've designed is the be all end all. Of course our people with advise against any modification of PPE.  I get that.  They have to and it makes...

Like I said, I'd like to see the science before I make a judgement.  I have a feeling it's more about what someone thinks about something, not what has been proven through studies/testing. Until it can be shown to me it is unequivocally superior under most probable threats, I won't be switching...

The only presentation I saw about the helmet was how pad kits were inferior because you lost that extra space that the suspension put between your head from the exterior.  The evidence (as presented to us) was anectdotal at best.  I can see how it *might* be superior in certain situations, as it...

No, I didn't mean for it and the regular ISAF/TF/OMLT/etc. badges to be considered that.  It's the other non-issue badges I find annoying.  To each there own (within their CoC limits), but it's usually a certain type with all kinds of lame stuff plastered to them.

To elaborate.  We used to them to ferry in supplies to dsmounted troops from the leaguer to our posistions deep in a built up area.  They were crucial as the only other options were either air drops (cumbersome and dangerous) or using dismounted troops as mules, which we had neither the...

Meant to say without.
