So I know the thread is a little dead, but I have been having trouble finding info elsewhere, and this seems the most appropriate. I am looking to replace my nike boots that are falling apart, and if we are going to brown boots I will go that way. Though i have been told that there is an...

For that kit list you can scratch out the winter kit on the bottom, as well as the compass as the compass will be provided. The rest looks appropriate. The eastiest way is to literally bring everything you have been issued plus civi PT kit, abolutions kit, boot kit, and shit you want for night...

I bought mine off the US site also, got em delivered to me when I was working in the states. I really really like em. You get your feet wet fast, but they dry fast also(oddly like they are designed like jungle boots or something). Very little ankle and arch support, but they also weigh around 16...

I have seen them on random people at LFCA TC Meaford(including candidates on the reg force DP1 running currently). That also is going along with the interim new combats(just the modified combat shirt). I was talking to the CSM of A Coy in Petewawa yesterday about them(he was wearing them), he...

This is a soft shell......So unlike the Arc'teryx Alpha series of jackets, it is not waterproof. Over any sustained period of rain it will soak through. For the price, it is an ok jacket.

First time I saw them was in 2004. I think I got mine in like 2005 after I tore my OD one. They are pretty common place in the reserves in LFCA. Or atleast from what I have seen.

Myself as well please.

In my PAM the predator bandolier is  Fig 6-7. It is the new PAM with the colour pictures. There is no detail regarding it. Just two pictures, the only detail about anything like this is how to load the 50 round belt box. Page 294 is the 50rnd belt box, then 295 and 296 is pictures of the...

I just finished reading the PAM for the C6. Outside of some fancy colour pictures, I could not find actual data regarding this. I have searched on this site, and a couple tries on google, though I have found nothing. Mostly I am looking for things like how much ammo held, employment, ect.

I have been up here in meaford teaching for the last few months on reseve BMQ-L's. There is no standard within brigades, or even sometimes units as to scale of issue. I have seen 3 different candidates from the same unit, one with a UAB(mob box), one with a barracks box, and one with neither. So...

Well, so far in RST phase 1, I have seen the Cpls on their DP2A marching everywhere, and the rest of the courses i expected them to be doing likewise. As they are BMQ(L), and BMOQ. Expect to march, get over it, its the army, we march. The only people that doint have to march all over sunny...

just watch out. I was just looking at the measurments on the snug pack. Its only 71" long. Thats 5' 11".....seems alful small.... that one from MEC is 7'5" long. Bit more reasonable.

You could just run outside.....i love winter running. Almost as much as trail running in mountain bike trails. Running in showstorms is wicked awesome. Pushups- the best way to get better, is to do them. Do them when you wake up, before and after meals, before and after classes/water...

woh woh woh......you mean i cant just toss a green road flare in a sweet ass camping spot, and when i gets shot, i can just respawn right there??? no friken way man, i thought thats how snipers do it in real life.... On that note though, i am pretty sure that blast sheilds(assuming you mean...

I did a quick search of the forums and I cant find anything like what I am looking for. I am looking for some employment in the fall(I am PRES), and I was told that the Gagetown website hosted the national calender of courses. I cant find it on there site, or I am just too tired to see it. Also...
