Sidebar, but for you tank experts what was the downfall of the flail?  Did the roller just prove to do the same thing without having to replace the chains? My outsider hypothesis would be that in WW2 tanks weren't that powerful so a flail was easier than pushing a roller that was so heavy, but...

*Note* I know there is a thread on the spill, this is different than just the leak and dead fish. I was reading a news story this morning about BP spreading the blame, and on one of the poster's comments it is mentioned that all sorts of sketchy things were happening in the months and weeks...

I insist that the bigger problem is that we for some completely retarded reason do not utilize ATVs in the CF. An ATV with a trailer or a side-by-side could easily move these things around the battlespace where they could be set up.  Not just these, but anything, be it a 50 cal, water, a...

Not F35 related but not enough to warrant its own thread, still it's an AF thread and I thought some of you may like it: Incredibly short take off of a C5: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=90e_1279392035

Source is an Economist chart found here: http://buttonwood.economist.com/content/gdc What I find interesting is that you always seem to hear about us being better off than anyone else in the world (particularly the US), but this graph certainly doesn't show that.  For example, we're $30k in...

All, Rarely do I click on banner ads, but last week I saw and ad on this page for a micro RC helicopter and decided to check it out.  The prices looked too good to be true, but since they took Paypal and I had some money sitting in there, I decided to roll the dice on this...

Hello everyone, I have been trying to find a link to the list of all qualification badges to no avail.  There's no mention of badges on the QR&O for dress regs, either (seemingly and endless loop of reference chasing). Basically what I'm looking for looks like the poster of the order of medals...

Hello everyone, Some peers and I at the Infantry School have identified what we perceive to be a fault with the way the PWT system teaches and trains progressive shooting.  Primarily in that it really isn't progressive; PWT3 (intermediate marksmanship) is progressive from PWT2 (basic...

In French, retard = late/delay (as in the proper meaning in English of "retarded" to mean slowed development). Couldn't help but notice the headline below and get a bit of a giggle.  On quick glance it seems like "The retards of Ottawa". Pick your unit to send this to.  NDHQ?  DLR...

This is purely for curiosity's sake, but for those of you who deal with this regularly and have valid opinions what is the typical way that an inmate is successful in killing himself? It seems that we always hear about failed suicides like Clayton Matchee and Col Williams, but what does work...
