After experimenting the side way foregrip, I highly recommend not using it. It allows a bit better muzzle control in close quarters but gets in the way for: 1. mag change and IA 2. slinging the rifle 3. any sort of tactical movement that requires agility such as when you drop the rifle to reach...

Some of the units at least in Ottawa have foregrips issued with the weapon. Is this nation wide?

I was actually offered to see someone over the summer during the tasking but I kept on brushing it away because it always conflicted with my schedule and didn't wanna screw up anyone I worked with since there were 3 of us supporting 150 people and we also worked on weekends. The matter actually...

The symptoms include: insomnia/restlessness, nightmares, unstable hands, flashbacks and incapability to hear words/orders correctly. It's based on personal-PTSD from 2009, it didn't affect me much until I was reminded over summer 2011 while I was on a tasking in Ottawa. Two questions: 1. Who do...

While it's a question of integrity to lie about an injury but it's also quite important to stay loyal to your friends. I apologize if you disagree with the importance of not ratting your buddy out if it's not something big of a deal to the organization or you while it is for your buddy. My...

Okay, I just feel a bit off going to the CSM about admin stuff

The only problem with that is that He's physically 2000km away until mid july and will most definately lack the internet access, by the time he returns I'll be about a week away from having expired 404s. His 2ic has no idea and he's releasing within next week and there's no more left in chain

I remembered how brief I should be at this and cut down to very simple points. 1.Is there a way to learn french in a qualified insitute other than my current post secondiary institute and have it funded by the forces as a reservist? I've been surrounded french speaking NCMs recently and it's...

Thanks Beadwindow 7, I do mean having the grip out to the side. I am yet to see one and I've only used the sling to substitute that. I can understand how the actual grip will have a jerking motion with no excuse because for sure it's like if the handguards are bolted down onto the barrel or...

Hey I'm just wondering while I'm far away from shooting again due to an injury. Even at the shooting competitions, I always preferred to wrap the sling on my left hand/forearm and have the palm facing up right next to the handguard and this helped me form a perfect 90 degrees angle against the...

ArmyRick, with no disrespect I am telling the facts and my friends know they are facts because they were there at the time. If you really wish to pinpoint who I am, you will not have any trouble because I an almost tell who you are and I can almost garuntee that I was trained by you at one point.

I definately recommend you to get another job in the waiting period. It took me literally a whole year to get sworn in from the day I applied. I was also a 16 yr old kid and was dependant on parents in highschoool so I didn't NEED to get a job, but age 19 you may want to have one as you don't...

My Basic was 6 weeks summer course which started about 4 months after being sworn in. It was also put together at the last moment, I was given a phone call about 48 hrs prior to the course "hey you're good to go" then SQ as well right after which was 5 weeks in Meaford a day after graduation...

I was told that if you're trade qualified, you have the "previlage" to walk instead of march. I was also jacked up hardcore after being saluted by a Sgt for walking around with a slip on that didn't have a hook because my Unit did not send me one after my DP1.
