TF 31's field kitchen was...well, I've never ate army food anywhere that was so good.  Quite a change from last year...

Why are people proud of this? Why would masked gunmen, dare I say 'terrorists', of the PFLP 'love' Canada?  Could it be because of our lax security and apparent ease to raise money/coordinate plans and attacks?  Maybe they love Canada for all the wrong reasons...  :salute:

Qu'est-ce que c'est ca! http://www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca/netpub/server.np?find&catalog=photos&template=detail_e.np&field=itemid&op=matches&value=10842&site=combatcamera Are my eyes fooling me or do those mag pouches on that Tac Vest look double the normal size?

How so?

Where do you guys keep your gitch and  other piece of clothing once you've taken them off for the night? In the sleeping bag next to you, or between the sleeping bag and the bivy bag?

**** jobs, boring work, meaingless to your trade...yes I agree but don't totally knock off getting the chance to see behind the scenes of what happens and needs to be done logistically to run a week long brigade exercise.  Especially being an untrained private, it would give you an insiders look...

No I haven't.  It hasn't been too serious/non existant for me to ever even think about it.  Like I said, I'm trying to the nip the bud as early as possible.  I highly doubt it is nervous pain, most likely muscular.  But I'll be sure to mention it next time I get a physical. Ok so stretches and...

I just got back from a 3 week course, and sleeping on a cot (or something or another) hasn't been too kind on my lower back.  I've got a slight pain in my lower back early in the mornings and sometimes after lifting heavy things.  It happens often when I get into prone (you know that feeling in...

You can stream it live on msnbc.com  ;D Thank God for the ruling, in my opinion MJ is nothing but a childhoodless product of american pop culture with no sexual intentions in his love of kids.

Meh...fancy stoves and all seem like a bit too much.  I mean, doesn't the good ol' canteen cup, stove and heat tablets work well enough? Personally, i'm just not convinced to invest in a portable stove like the one's being mentioned...I really don't see what my above combination can't do that a...

PhilB, Could you show us a picture of your TV with these access panels? As far as add-on's go, I've begun thinking about putting the issued US canteen pouch somewhere on the TV.  This would help just about everyone, especially C9 gunners, as now you could have two C-9 pouches for...

Would having the clips undone make it much easier to take out a mag? This way, one must only pull at the velcro in order to open the mag pouch...I've tried it a few times and it seems to work.  It would be a good idea to undo all the clips if you know you're about to be engaged and expecting...

Weather went to shit faster than you could say 'trench clear...'  >:( Another one of those pointless, routine, and bland brigade parades.... :boring:  ::) From what I gathered, I think everyone was just glad it was over.  I mean, good trench clearing training and all, but come on, its time to...

Judging by the recent pics from Afghanistan, I noticed that a majority of soldiers were armed with sidearms, Brownings, judging by the leg holsters and ammo pouches.  My question is, what's the SOP for issuing out sidearms/pistols for the guys overseas?

http://www.armee.forces.gc.ca/lf/Downloads/CanadasSoldiers.pdf --- Wow.  Dead-on for me.

Had a chance but didn't end up going, just wondering if anyone went.  And if so, how was it overall?

Ridge Rest of course...

Any ideas where to buy one?

I've noticed that a lot of the experienced troops in my regiment drop their issued air matress in favour of a foam-type/rubber matress pad, which just attaches to their rucks by the normal straps without a cover.  What are the benefits/drawbacks of this, and since I was thinking to do the same...

Everyone is saying that the forces aren‘t getting anything this year from the Budget other than that tax break... ..Then why does the DND website say we‘re getting 1.6 billion? http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/Reports/budget04/budget04_e.htm
