Here's one for you. It's US military based but the thought is there. http://www.cafepress.ca/+go_army_beat_navy_rectangle_magnet,290217459

And in 2001 as RADNIS was being phased out I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot with a nice Black hole from the MBS to my 900m graticule marker. Not so great for a night shoot at battle range. On another note, I just had a chat with an ammo tech buddy of mine currently posted in WX and there...

I find it amusing with the fact that most of these protests are going by and protesting in front of recruiting centres. It's not like we have any say over the decisions of elected MPs other than our individual rights to vote. Also, last I checked, most of our recruiting centres aren't even open...

Gee, and I always attributed those passages in that play to the common practice at the time of armies cutting down forests to produce their siege weapons rather than transporting those items long distances. ie. ballistas, trebuchets, catapults, battering rams, pikes, spears, etc. However, the...

Who would have thought the video stills I produced would help crack the case so soon. Glad he was found.  :salute:

So if I'm reading this thread right, the world is going to end thanks to Monty Python? Could be amusing though.  ;D

It's nice to see that the Gallery itself is back up, even though it's without the captions. Of course, now the issue becomes that images can end up out of context without the captions. Even though the captions aren't shown, they still exist. For those of you that aren't aware, the captions that...

That disclaimer already existed on the captions themselves, ie. French or English translation to follow, but I guess it's not enough for some people. I do agree that with it being an official Government of Canada/DND/CF site it should be in both languages, but at the same time we need to be...

Unfortunately, not all CF members that upload to the the Combat Camera website are fully bilingual. Do they really think our members in the field have time to sit down and figure out the proper translation? Personally, I'd rather have access to the imagery in a timely manner rather than having...

This technology isn't a new concept. The Russians experimented with an active protection system in the late seventies to eighties before scrapping it due to high collateral damage. Ironically, it was used during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drozd...

When you arrive at CFSATE, you will be attached to CFSATE PAT Platoon pending the start of your course. Expect to spend a lot of time in the canteen playing cards and watching movies if you don't get away on OJT to another airbase. PAT platoon at CFSATE is generally the same as PRETC with PT on...

We are currently leasing a portion of the old RCMP building in Penticton, cells included. It isn't really adequate for what we need to do (no indoor drill hall, no vehicle compound) but at least it gives us a presence in the city which is better than nothing.

On a positive note, the British Columbia Dragoons reopened an armouries in Penticton almost 2 years ago. We still have our armouries in Kelowna and Vernon as well although none of them are adequate for our current role (read: too small). As far as Training areas, there used to be the tank...

I personally enjoy this one "If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them" It may not be exactly PC, but it's not like the insulting alternatives are either.
