I know the message is dated, but it never hurts to ask. I am interested in the black Tanto blade knife, and possibly the two Tanto blade swords. Are the swords able to be sharpened? How much are you asking for each item, if they are still available? THanks.

I am on spring break leave right now, and therefore any news coming into the unit, I would not hear. As I mentioned, I do NOT want any info posted unless it is allowed to be posted. Even if you yourself know, I would not ask you to tell me, unless it was allowed to be told. I was just wondering...

Couldn't agree more with you Combatbuddha!! You served your country well Bomber!!

Another big advantage to a female soldier, is that they can search female people. This then solves the problem of a Taliban MALE dressing up as a female just to avoid being searched. I work for these soldiers (not on this tour though, back in SHilo at 1RCHA) and they are every bit as good as the...

Has nayone heard any news report as to the identity of the soldier? I am NOT asking for rumours, or info I shouldn't have. I am very curious, as members of my unit are there right now. O have checked CBC and CTV websites, and I have found nothing but the original post on the CBC website. SO, if...

To anyone that missed this, and would like to see it, I can very easily put it onto a DVD. I will do this for people that want to see it, but please be reasonable, I can't make like 100 copies.

I met with my Career Manager in Feb of last year. Was told i was promoted and posted. Just less than two months later i was put on a T-Cat. My promotion was, and still is on hold, until "I can do the duties of my rank in the position held." As it was put to me, since I am not allowed field duty...

I had the unfortunate chance to be served by these fine people when i had a suspected heart attack. (Turned out to be just a massive stress / panic attack) Thier work is amazing, and I couldn't touch thier abilities with a 10 foot pole. I for one can't wait to see this!!

When I served on TF1-06, I too said the people who lived outside the wire should get some kind of extra pay. And i was an inside the wire guy! I went on four road moves as a "right seater". If it is any consolation to those that served outside the wire, I thanked them every chance I got (usually...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :argument:

I love that knife? What is it called, and where might I get one just like it??

Yes, the Sperwer has been in Afghanistan since atleast 06, and I heard rumours we are getting / have the predator 1's.

Had an instance in Afghanistan that makes me firmly beleive that carrying a pistol outside the wire is a must! I was right-seater in an HLVW w/flatbed. Our load had shifted, and we where told by the vehicle following us, that we would not make it outside the city. WELL... 10:00 o'clock at night...

What happens when you wash the stuff??

Maybe two crewmates inside steaming up the windows?? :rofl:

Never thought of ideas like that. Good point though, cause that's like the whole idea behind "stealth" aircraft, is trying to reduce the RCS. Now, as was mentioned in another post, how would the HEAT signature of a biplane compare to a more modern jet? I know some jets have specific designs to...

Uh yes, the promise of the paperless office. I laugh at that idea on a regular basis.  ;D

Thanks for the reply. Wasn't sure if a missile could lock onto a small plane with very little metal in it (compared to a modern jet. Also, I thought the manouverability of such a small plane could avoid a missile. Learned a new thing today, thanks.

While a biplane does seem to have a few advantages "Hey, I watched Iron Eagle too!!  ;D  )  How effective would they be at avoiding missiles like a sidewinder or such? Would the missiles even be able to lock on, or would the biplane even have a chance to avoid them??

Ever seen the show "Guinea Pig" on the Discovery Channel?? Dude had all these weapons fired at him, and they left some mean bruises. Even after a few months, some of the rounds left scars on him.
