Allan you said:"Having said that, just because you've past a course, doesn't mean that you've mastered all that there is to know, and leadership courses are no exception." Agreed wholeheartedly and I think most honest people would agree, why isn't it codified then? I mean in industry it is...

Wow. This is possibly the best discussion I've seen on here. It is really nice to see so many Regs posting here now, for way too long all we got here was a Res perspective which often isn't particularly realistic. I'm a reservist by the way. We (in my experience in three different reserve units)...

Hey Kevin, did you see the new magnifier concept form eotech at the shot show? Seemed like a good idea, as long as they can perfect the mount/dismount operation. I'm not too sure about the reticle though, my only experience is with the c79.

"My only question: when are the Canadian bloggers going to get organized and launch an assault on the CBC?" Are you waiting for a written invitation? Consider this one.

When exactly did we make the federal gov't responsible for child care?

\ How do you know the majority thinks this way? Has there been a referendum on this issue? Nope. Will there be? Nope. Will there be one on any current issue? I doubt it. Just because the Liberals were re-elected doesn't mean the majority of Canadians agree with them on every scheme they come...

Just to interject for a second, could someone please tell me how they gauge "public uproar" vs. "media uproar"? Are we assuming the media represents public sentiment? Just wondering, I'm just not sure anymore. P.S. I don't trust the Liberals ( I don't trust politicians in general but they have...

I hate to use this quote but Caesar "I feel your pain".  I live in Toronto, my wife stays at home with my daughter and yet I dream of the day I might make $60 000. In fact at this point I don't even have a "job". That being said my wife and I are completely committed to her not going back to...

Practice.

This thread can never die! I have some questions: I was just wondering why the TV is front opening and the FPV is side opening? Also why is there no- slip stuff on FPV shoulder but none on the TV? What is the 2" "scuba" webbing on the back of the TV for? Is that interior pocket seriously for a...

I'm not sure that I'm surprised at some of the comments here but I continue to be disappointed to hear the same old thing again and again by a community that should know better. To me the choice is clear: help our Allies free a people or stick it to our Allies to try to prove a point. How...

I've been around long enough to know your type PKaye, you're the type to argue for an hour about receiving a poor assessment yet won't spend one minute considering if it was accurate. How many posts have you made since my last and you still haven't admitted you were wrong. I'm going to go out on...

I'll spell it out for you. He wasn't talking about Iraqis, he was talking about the Taliban. Clearly the term "Attention to detail" is lost on you. As for the rest of your post, "if you've got an issue, here's a tissue". If you are this sensitive on a message board I would have hated to have...

So to sum this thread up: The TV is light years ahead of webbing, is a glorified old LBV, holds tonnes of ammo, doesn't hold enough ammo, has tonns of space to carry stuff, can't carry all the operational kit required of a modern LI soldier, is wicked comfortable, puts too much weight to the...

I'll throw my two cents worth in just because I didn't post anything on the original thread. I have had a pair of the pants since 92 (the same pair) and since then I don't go in the field without them. In the summer they keep the mozzies off my legs which is good on OPs/patrols and keep the...

Yes PKaye, great post. Congrats on showing that you didn't even bother to go beyond skimming what was written and projecting what you THINK rather than what he actually said. As a hint, review who exactly he was talking about vice who you think he was talking about. Not that it matters, heaven...

Hello everyone, Don't know if this has been posted before but it is pretty interesting. It is an armou officer in Iraq posting on a blog. Good stories of armour in urban areas. http://avengerredsix.blogspot.com/

I think that as soon as we put as much work towards the man-machine interface for ground systems as we do for air assets we'll see an exponential rise in soldier lethality. I think this is a step in the right direction and being able to direct weapons with such a system can't be far off. Imagine...

Well geeze, everyone has to look the same, don't they?

Because everyone wants to pretend they know something about them that no-one else does. In this particular instance it was a lame jpke on my part being misinterpreted. Thanks for chiming in though.
