I just want to know if he said it out loud. What are you hiding? Were you his english teacher? Say it out loud! Say it!;D

No kiddin'? Is that what he meant? Gee thanks, thank goodness you cleared it up for me.  ::) Geeze Louise. I was just commenting on the style of writing and the repetition of the word trial. Try reading it out loud, it sounds funny.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Whiskey, I think the choice has already been made for us as Arthur pointed out. Canada's model (economic, social, governmental, even military) is much closer to the Europeans than to the US thanks to so many years of Liberal social policy. As for people being...

I just re-visited this old thread. "The JTF trialed the CADPAT Tac Vest long before it was trialed and finally approved for issue to the rest of the CF, trialed it and found it did not meet their requirements and based upon their recommendations were given a tac vest that met those specific...

The problem is that the expertise to design a decent vest did not exist in Canada when the project was started. The vest that Pappy posted here: http://army.ca/forums/threads/20031.0.html was designed at PSP in one year (inconjunction with the chest rig he posted too). The issued TV took seven...

Just a quick thought... I think as with most issues here in Canada we are getting a miniscule idea of waht is really at play. I don't think we give enough credit to our politicians in Ottawa, while they may play it up I doubt that they are as naive and starry eyed as they pretend. This isn't an...

Why whats up with Tiger Tactical?

PAPPY HOW COULD YOU!? ;) http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36071&item=2285473729&rd=1 For shame. :'(

Well then I guess I was wrong, we're doing just fine and that is the message we should send to the public. Thanks everyone.

"When we talk about the "collapse of the CF", we are referring to the ability of the military to do its job." Agreed. I'm saying the military is not capable of doing it's job. The gov't has commited our armed forces to the WOT and our military is unable to make a signifigant contribution to it...

There is a leak in the roof and we're spending time and money designing and buying new curtains when our neighbors and friends are in the curtain business. An overly simplistic analogy no doubt but there it is. $500 000 is chump change. Matt is correct, other better funded countries are...

Understood, I've been around for a bit and understand where we are compared to where we were even 10 years ago in terms of personal kit. Do our soldiers perform better now than they did 10 years ago before CTS was pumping out the reams of new stuff they are now? Could the money be better spent...

As far as I know KevinB et al have submitted UCRs on the vest. From experience I think it will be a long hard slog to get a change on this particular issue but it is needed in my opinion.

I think old Kim is dead. There have been reports of anti Kim pamphlets circulating as well as his picture being removed from offical buildings and streets and less over the top rhetoric and praise of the great leader. I'll post a link later to some of the reports if anyone is interested. Of...

US Cavalry? How 1990s! 8) We have a very limited budget so while equiping soldiers with the best is obviously a good thing, the cost associated with say seven years of research and development for a tac vest means something else has to suffer. Ever wonder what it is?

What is the trade off for shiny kit and new uniforms?

Here is why I say we have crumbled. Our gov'd pledged our support to the war on terror. Like it or not agree with it or not. What has our contribution to the WOT been? What has been our contribution to wars in the past? Compare and contrast. If we don't start to rebuild now, when will we? I...

Yes just now. 1 hour ago to be exact. Don't be so silly, you can do better than that. Of course we have gone through this in the past and no doubt will again in the future that doesn't make it OK. I said the army had crumbled already, I didn't say it couldn't be rebuilt. I just don't believe we...
