    Canadian Military/Defence procurement process (Mega Thread)

    But these two purchase are the exception. It make sense to buy tanks without holding a competition because they already got the Leopard. It was making sense to not hold a competition for the C-17 because it something that's really necessary considering the size of our country and also because...

    URINE Questions

    Are we talking of the pee test to check whether or not women are pregnant in basics? Unless there is some doubt (or some change) the only test you should pursue would be a blood test to check whether or not your body could assimilate some vaccine (for malaria I think). Be ready to have a pee...

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    Logistic-wise I am sure they will do wonders with this aircraft; I am impatient to see how we are going to implement them. Waiting for the pictures.

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    Not much with the f-35 is another everyday engineering issue. The complexity is astronomical. Space and weight so limited that they had to remove safety to cut weight. The software has more than 20 Millions LOC; electronic-wise the capability expected  seems quite promising but it's such a big...

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    I can't find back the article which expressed concern about melting those modular runway. News website got a tendency to have a lot of broken links or I may have simply not used the proper keyword. That a bit of nitpicking though but reading the comments on the first article, it seems that the...

    However an issue that all version have in common is the exaust melting the runway. P&W needed to re-tune the engine but it's not clear whether or not the problem have been solved.

    Kremlin turns back clock to using typewriters to avoid security leaks

    CSOR and JTF2 Physical Fitness tests - what they are, minimum standard, etc

    Oh my bad! I should have said that I don't understand why they are not unified. I am clearly not qualified enough to make such conclusion.

    CSOR and JTF2 Physical Fitness tests - what they are, minimum standard, etc

    For some reason that fitness program appear on the intranet page of the jtf whereas it does not on the public one. That's why I have been surprised to find it on the psp website. IMO this should be part of the standard AFM and not as a seperate fitness manual.

    Tough Mudder - Good training to prepare for BMQ/Obstacle Courses?

    To add my modest experience from BMQ. Doing able to do a couple of chin-up with weighted vest (~20lbs) will be of a great help when come the time to jump a wall, because all the obstacle you'll do in your BMQ are going to be with your C7 and your tac-vest, which account for about 20 pounds...

    You can take a look to that page; to my great surprise this fitness program is available online. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/108076/post-1184078.html#msg1184078 I am far from having done any special forces test, but here is how I see it. 1. The more you are in shape the more you...

    CSOR and JTF2 Physical Fitness tests - what they are, minimum standard, etc

    Also the jtf2 pre-selection physical fitness training program (complete the army fitness manual by adding level 5, 6 and 7). Good for medium/long term objectives.  ;D http://www.cg.cfpsa.ca/cg-pc/Greenwood/SiteCollectionDocuments/JTF%20Pre-Fitness%20Manual%20ENG.pdf
