I had a coursemate in battle school take his parade boots into an auto body shop and they did a terrific job that seemed to resist cracking and was flexible.  Of course it was a little too perfect and the DS coerced him into a confession into what he had done before making him takes his gerber...

Last time I was there Supreme had steak, lobster tails, and popcorn shrimp on the menu.  It was the best food I've had in Afghanistan by far.  And between the Becks near beer, cliff bars, jack links jerky and energy drinks, I'd say it's still a goldmine for snacks. Keep in mind it's not a...

Never spent more then a couple of days at KAF but the Supreme kitchen out at Frontenec does an awesome job the few time I've been there. Plus they stock near beer,Rip It Fuel drinks,  and Cliff bars .

It's not so much the cost, which is understandable, it's the fact the garment wears after such a short time.  I have 3 shirts in rotation (that's roughly $400 worth of shirts) and two of them are showing signs of heavy wear (seams failing, holes in fabric) and I'm only half way through tour. ...

I'm still quite happy with the BLSS kit.  A bonus I've found is reconfiguring the pads for different situations.  The pads at the ear area (consquently where I supplemented the OA pads with the Skydex pads) I move up towards the crown of the helmet when doing mounted operations and making room...

You should've just parked it in the parking lots at the G lines.  I've seen derelict vehicles parked there for over a year at a time, flat tires and all.  Infact, I towed a few out of the way to free up prime parking spots.

I've often wondered if I should hold onto expired rations.  I've got about 4 cases of them that expired this summer and I hate throwing anything out. 

I have several CP Gear OTW shirts and my biggest complaint is that for a $130 shirt, and that is a lot of money for 1 shirt, it is awfully frail.  Almost every one I've seen over a month or two old, the seams are seperating where the FR material (plain tan) meets the CADAPAT.  Also the DriFire...

Maybe they worked better when new, but judjing by the amount of gunners and drivers I saw hauled out after they passed out from the heat inside a Leo, I'd say they don't work that good.  Then again a lot of tankers were still wearing them (and TLAV crews) so I'm assuming they do something...

About the only issue thing I wear stepping off on a patrol is my pants..... oh, and underwear.  I'm kinda partial to the issue underwear.

Yes but she seemed to be referencing  the basic concept of helmet pads, not some manufacturing defect.  She specifically mentioned how our suspension system which creates an air space much like that in a construction hard hat is fundamentally superior to pad systems, "like the American...

I found it funny during the PPE inclearance brief in KAF how they warned against the evils of the pad system and the inferiority of the American helmets to our suspension system. The they went on to explain that the TV should be worn with the Frag vest as it is a system desgined to work...

Yeah, I haven't run into the same kind of gritty, granule-like sand here, just the moon dust. I'm much happier with the BLSS pads then the Skydex as it fits my head much better with the headband.  I actually supplemented the BLSS pads with some Skydex and it's worked out well.  I cut of the...

Not sure if we're speaking of the same place, but I plan on joining when I get back home.  I never wanted to join until becoming a veteren but spent a fair bit of time under it's roof.  It may not be the hot spot for the kids but it's definitely the social hall of the community and I could not...

It be nice if it fit for when you actually needed and not garrison bullcrap.

People might be a little more respectful if you attempted to substantiate yourself on what many view to be a ridiculous position.

There are a lot of jobs out there that impose unique restrictions and situations unpon the employee.  Granted, not all are as rigid, imposing or as dangerous as the military, but then some are.  Plus, not all military occupations are as taxing as others.  Why should militray members be exempt...

If you're in Pet You could always hit up the 1 RCR Kit Shop which has decent deals on Snugpak.

I believe the term is "whining".....

Thanks! Where did you get the bigger pics from?  The ones on the Yahoo site are small...
