Well I think they mostly have doors

This just in - Army.ca mostly talks about the Canadian Army.

I was pretty specific that it was my situation, I was pretty clear on that. You’re also in a situation with a lot of reserve infrastructure in your city - ie you have the CBG HQ, which has around 70-100 full time staff, not a universal position. Frankly I don’t know anyone who’s gotten out and...

When I was a reservist all the class be positions, which were fairly limited, tended to be CQ / SQ / RQ stuff. Limited to no career development, course, or deployment opportunities. There were also a ton of guys fear mongering about how bad the regular army was, by and large they were wrong, and...

Yeah it’s a blend of armoured recce, recce platoon, and snipers

They’ve always been requestable on an ADREP. Holy fuck man, take care of people Jesus.

Runway is still there. No idea if it’s flyable but it’s not ripped up.

It’s not, but the attitude of “fuck em that’s why” or “this is how we did it back in my day” rears its head in a lot of different places and those added together make our bigger issues. If it’s a 0 cost way to increase the number of people sending in applications, it’s worth it even if the...

Does it function as expected ? I’m inclined to call that a massive procurement win

Thats a hard position to hold when this cost 0 dollars and we’re short 17000 soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Somehow, and I know it seems impossible, I manage to use the shutter without getting upset some one put a box of female sanitary supplies in there. I know guys it seems impossible, but...

I take the vehicles destroyed thing with massive grains of salt. All of the Ukrainians units are trying to generate funds, posting videos of destroying vehicles with drones is a great way to do that. Is that Russian tank abandoned before it gets destroyed? Was it already neutralized ? Kofffman...

Infantry section carrier

I would imagine its a bit like have receivers in motion lol

The crews and platoon don’t merge, they’re already organic.

I wonder how much those strykers really are seperate from the squads. My understanding is that they belong to the PSgt, who’s responsible for the crews and does both the jobs done by our Pl 2 IC and LAV Sgt.The US army does this across Styker and Bradley units. Which results in the musical...

We can actually afford a lot, we don’t even spend our whole budget. We need vehicles that are fit for the mission. Period. If that means they need to be easily fixed then fine. If we buy a bunch of training vehicles that prioritize scale and easy for reserve use - guess what we’ll be using in...

I see the ideal task as essentially a combination of security, and providing mobility for light infantry. A senator MRAP could do that job.

This is where I go when I rant about reserve restructure - names and badges are a side piece. We need the Army to task organize itself, and that has to include its reserve. We do not need to buy a vehicle for the reserves, we need to buy vehicles for that do a job for the army that are manned by...

I do, basically daily. Metal band roadie / hells angles prospect is as common a look as homeless wizard. I’ll add to your point about the Māori in the NZDF that they are much better at us in integration of their indigenous culture. But that is a whole other kettle of fish.

Defile is a piece of terrain that your forced into and typically will offer excellent cover and concealment for enemy ambushes. Long and short is relative but typically you can see to the end of a short defile but not to the end of a long one.
