1H (1st Hussars)

Thanks for the info OldSoldier. I compeltely understand the riding aspect, but as a Reserve unit we don't have horses - I guess do you still wear the lanyard around the wrist when dismounted? I will email the Adjt of the Strathcona's and see what he says. Thanks! T29

In order to change the curriculum it takes time - at least a year and I know the DS try and insert more "current" material when they can, but if they do it's at the expense of something else. The idea behind the course is to not make anyone a shake-n-bake expert, but to learn a set of tools that...

LOL! You would to wouldn't you! I'll have plenty of time to scheme when you're in Pet pepper-potting in the sand for two weeks! :p

Thanks all. I had looked through the manual of drill and ceremonial as well and turned up nothing. Bzzliteyr: Thanks for the link! It may hold the answer to some unasked question! I'll keep plugging away...the joys of summer stand down, when this becomes a pet project! I'm more surprised that...

Mike, As a recent graduate of AOC (100 anniversary class 2008), I think the the ulitlity of the course is more than relevent as the demand for AOC qual Captains on expeditionary ops is high (or so I've been told). And quit bragging that you won (earned more like it) the Minerva! We know...

Good day all, As the Adjt of a Cavalry Regiment, I'm seeking some clarification on a ceremonial question, namely the sword lanyard. It's been brought to my attention that calvary officers should wrap the laynard around their wrist vice braiding it around the hilt (or leaving it loose to smack...

That's what I thought. Thanks!

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Seems his handlers made sure that he didn't wear any overt military kit. Still, good on him.

I know 1H is sending 4 - I think they're leaving tomorrow or early on Thursday. I hope Kingston is fully stocked!

So BH does make a rig that will take the BHP? I thought that they didn't make a rig specifically for the BHP. What size holster did you get? Same as the M1911/Colt 45? Thanks for the great advice so far. I've received better intel here than anywhere else on the web.

Thanks for the advice so far. I agree that the SafariLand holsters are better but there is also a price issue as well. I had also looked at the BlackHawk SERPA holsters and they are comparable to the SafariLand. It's a shame that the Bianchi issue ones have to be such awful pieces of kit...

Got a question for all the pistol experts out there. I'm looking to get a new holster - the issue Bianchi holsters are not very good as many people know. I've done a search on previous threads and while the issue of say BlackHawk and Eagle tac rigs were mentioned, my pending question was never...
