Only problem with an Armoured Crew Specific Helmet....You'll now be carrying two helmets into battle because as soon as you climb out of the vehicle you'll need to put the normal issued one on...or risk having your head torn off by the RSM or SSM.  Generally this will deter all but the gunner in...

Advanced Gunnery is for super switched on MCpl's and above.  We have two variants the 25mm and the MBT (Leopard 105 and 120) versions.  Officers get the qualification in far fewer numbers than NCO's.  When the course is run it will have both NCO's and Officers on the same course, not so uncommon...

This stuff cracks me up.  This reminds me of a paper I read the other day from 2003 about how the MBT was done in Canada...It's really nobody's mistake  in thinking this way.  There was a whole group within and outside the CF that thought this way.  We tend towards passivity in our military...

yeah sure, how about outsourcing clerks and engineers....eme's who needs them, jus take the damn truck to bob's garage.... ;)

i live right behind Yorkdale Mall which is just outside the evacuation zone and man was it a crazy night last night.  AT about 4:30 in the morning both my wife and i woke up from literally being shaken in our bed (the little rugrats didn't even get phased from their beds).  The sound was so loud...

great ufc, i thought Heurta would have been able to do more damage to Florian but Brock Lesner was amazing to watch.  He fights like he's boxer/defensive lineman which given his size is awesome.  He actually tried to spear the guy after he smashed his face in..AWESOME!  GSP was on and i think...

okay here's a link, apparently 90% of the worlds leading scientists agree that we are the cause of global warming. http://www.sciam.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=99FB6D4E-E7F2-99DF-3030E2BDAB849DC5 this isn't crack pot science either, Scientific American is PRIMO science!  Unless you think god put...

Great debate but an important point must be carried in the forefront of such a debate.   Leftist, progressive, conservative are labels and words, and mean nothing beyond their very limited use to describe political positions and political 'movements'.  Often these words mean nothing in the...

Hi Everyone DEO Armour August 18 BMOQ Look forward to seeing you all there.  If you're going armour too let me know, i assume we'll be together through to the end of phase IV.  Does anyone know when the start of CAP is after the end of our BMOQ in November?  If not I'll just ask about it at...

sorry i failed to see where i said that everyone in the cf should be responsible for writing novels....it's PR's responsibility to deal with the general public, and the 'left-leaning' press in Canada will at no time soon change, but good luck in trying all the same.  Perhaps we could get Conrad...

great topics, i actually saw the piece done on cbc and figured it was just typical journalism.  The point of attack to combat lies and insinuation is not to attack the press but to educate the public.  The press will quickly stop it's sensationalizing of certain topics when the public appetite...

If secondary support, for wars is a reason to invade a host country then we should attack russia and china, who supply the weaponry to much of the anti-west middle east, including Iran.  Not many people would say that's a good idea though.  The waters just  get murkier and murkier....

Well, we know one thing for sure.  The first to strike Iran should they feel immanently threatened is Israel, and Olmert has said as much.  However Iran would be infinitely more messy than the aftermath of Iraq, also drawing Russia into the play which is perhaps the greatest risk.  Personally...
