I hardly think doing something twice in 150 years constitutes a tradition.

Was this guy a former armored soldier? Or just talking out his ass? While I am not Armoured, I am posted to an Armoured unit. I am 6'3" and see plenty of guys taller than me around the unit.There are also quite a few dudes with significantly more girth than me. I don't think the driver's hole...

Yes, there is going to be a Recce version of the LAV 6 showing up in the next year or so. It is designated the LRSS, unfortunately I don't remember what it stands for. Having talked to some guys in the know (I am currently posted to a Recce Sqn) it's new surveillance gear is supposed to be...

I haven't been on PAT in a few years but I think Combats would be a pretty good guess.

I am very much looking forward to an exasperated Maint Sgt giving a safety brief to the Sqn the Thursday after some guy has the bright idea that standing the tire up and rolling it off the top of the vehicle would be a great time saver.

The back of the vehicle is taken up by the engine. About half way back sits the rear sentry and they have a hatch. You can see where the sentry sits in one of the pictures I have (tried to) attached. The other shows the hatch open, it is immediately behind the RWS.

If that were true we would not have a military. Let alone one equipped with assault rifles, tanks, fighter jets and the like. Killing is unfortunate and something we should avoid when possible. However, if you truly believe killing is never required, may I suggest the CAF is not the place for you.

No, Sig Os are transferred frequently, exposing them to a wide range job responsibilities and command styles. The Army places a lot of value on people having a wide knowledge base. That way, if a Sig O becomes a unit commander they will have experienced most of the jobs below them and seen how...

Disclosure: I am a Signals NCM, not a Sig O. So take everything I say with a grain of salt. Generally you get these specialties if you need them. If you are assigned the job of unit Crypto Custodian you get your crypto course. If you are posted to 21EW you get trained in electronic warfare. If...

I don't get it. Is it just a well stocked first aid kit?

Then I don't think you are going to like Latvia.

That is false. I am posted to an Armoured Sqn and know a couple of guys who have taken the course. Additionally other Sigs I know that have been on  the course with Armoured guys.

Look Cool Factor

Yes but IOT have enough power to properly run the radios the truck needs to be in high idle. It is not great for the truck to remain in high idle for long periods of time. I would never rely on an LSVW's batteries to last long enough to power your radios for any thing but the shortest period of...

It is not necessary to prove consent, people are presumed innocent. The burden is on the prosecution to prove he commited the crime, not the defence to prove he did not.

Your methodology is flawed. Tax rates and cost of living swing drastically between provinces. Except in the broadest sense, trying to make cost comparison of between the Reg Force and Reserves without taking those costs into consideration is a waste of your time. Especially, considering you...

So, wait out for an update with no additional info?

But they won't do that. Instead, they will start yet another new thread on information that has already been covered ad nauseam. You could have accomplished the exact same thing as Mariomike by using the search function of this site or Google. Don't try to hide your laziness by some misguided...

If you look at Chapter 5, Annex B, Table 2 of The Leave Manual, it states the leave may be taken: If the leave is to be taken prior to departure and after returning you can not use it for travel.

What values are those? Containing and fighting Russians? They seem to be just about the only ones in NATO even trying to stand up to Russia anymore. The rest of us are too busy writing sad letters to Putin, telling him how sad we are that he is rolling over Georgia and the Ukraine.
