First I'd like to wish the captain a full and speedy recovery, from what other members and the media have said about him sounds like he is a great officer and humanitarian.  Secondly I think alot of people in the village knew something was going to happen just by what capt. Schamuhn said in the...

Ah I see, I thought they were just using that base as an example of the new system.  And I guess you're right micheal, if they still can pass the standards it doesn't really matter how much food they eat.

What really gets me is the part about the soldier bringing the live round back from the range, instead of putting the fault on the recruit he says the DI should check the recruits pockets better.  I am sure they get the same lectures as us about bringing stuff back from the range live or not...

I think there are better was to choose allies, than just solely making alliances with those who hold the most power in the region.  Hamas as alot to prove before most westerners take it seriously(at least to me).  Hamas can't even get along with the other political parties in Palestine, I doubt...

A pretty good article appeared in the National post about this. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=3f723083-25d6-4af3-9d15-f57536531ebd&k=71293&p=2 At the end of the article it provides the fitness standards for the British and US army.

Only place I've heard 5.7mm being used is by FN, in the P90 and Five-seven Pistol.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1363476 First off, I hope the 3 servicemen are alright.  Was wondering if anyone else heard anything about this?  Also, is this the base where GWB just held the speech?

When I was back in highschool we had a recruiter at our school with the same problem.   Then one day he showed up with a LAV, a bunch weapons and other goodies to show off.   For about two months after that he didn't have to worry about finding people to talk to, there was a lineup almost every...

SAS survival guide is an excellent book. I also like the Ranger Handbook got it while down south and it covers everything.  Some sections are:Leadership, operations, fire support, movement, patroling, battle drills, communications, waterborne ops, mountaineering, evasion/survival, first aid and...

Well the name change doesn't really change what we do.   The text book engineer role goes something like this: Help friendly forces live, move and fight on the battlefield, and deny the same abilities to enemy troops. Basically build bridges, build or repair roads, or destroy obstacles hindering...

Well if I had a choice I'd go engineer but my views are probably biased being a sapper in the militia.  It all depends what you want to do, maybe post some more specific questions about the trades.   And both reserve and reg force do the same thing it just takes longer to get formally trained...

I like almost all of the modern cartoons(simpsons, family guy, king of the hill, south park) Also like tour of duty but it's hard to watch now that it only plays in the middle of the night. SG1 is a great show but I'm not a fan of the new SG series atlantis or something like that.  Another great...

Thanks for the link CC, it's the best lead I got so far.

Like the topic says I am trying to help my grand father track down someone he meet in europe awhile ago.  He has the guys address and sent some correspondence to it but to no avail.  Guessing he might've moved in the last 60 odd years(unlike my grand dad).  Anyway the address is in Ireland, but...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/04/zawahiri.london/ Wondering why Bin Laden isn't doing these videos anymore? Don't even remember when the last tape or video was made by him.  Hopefully the puke is buried under a couple tons of rock from a collapsed cave....

I know they have some for the Sig p226, but not sure about the browning. Can't see it being too different from the Sig ones, they might even be the same for both pistols. Can't help with the NSN, but I got this from another thread and it might help if you have access to the DIN: It is called the...

yeah I have a hard time believing that was real, if it was the hypnotist could be in some real crap. Usually hypnotist can't put anyone under without their consent, can open a big civil suit.  And it was definetly a paintball gun he was using, it's a stingray made by brass eagle. 

Practice your gas drills so you can perform them flawlessly in the gas hut and listen to your instructors.  It's not all that bad, but it does affect some people more than others.  Saw one person actually try to use the puke valve without much luck....

Some good FREE programs to rip and burn backups of movies are; DVD decrypter and dvd shrink.  I use shrink to rip the movie and shrink it so it can fit on a single DVD and use nero to burn it but there is an option in shrink that you can use decrypter to burn it.  Here's a good site with lots...

Interested to see how this plays out. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1117478085507_112887285/?hub=CTVNewsAt11 CTV.ca News Staff
