  The gunfighter program really has emphasized the problem with being cross eyed because of shooting with both eyes open.  I was shown a trick from another X man soldier... was to keep the left eye shut until you can aline the right eye on the sight and than open the left.  This seems to be...

  We were issued the C7-A2 and there were many problems with them.  Magazines were falling off, stoppages, stoppages, stoppages, safety's falling off etc.  Bonus features seems more of a balanced weapon, folding stock accomodates different shooting positions.  And yes it looks fancy...   V

Thank you for all of your input.  It's nice to know I'm not alone.    Cheers V

  It seems that I am kind of a mutant.  I am left eye dominant yet right handed... Some say this would only effect my shooting if I were using iron sights.  I do have a tendency to shoot left, but I attributed this to snatching the trigger a little.  The question I guess if there are any mutants...

  When I was looking at the Danner "Acadia" boots there were the synthetic steele toe 399.0 and 325.0 for the soft toe(three vets).  The lining of the synthetic toe was different as was the insole.  The problem I was having with the boot was my foot was inclined in.  Maybe I need orthodex? ...

  I tried on a pair of those fancy 325.00 dollar Danner "Acadia" Boots, and I wasn't that impressed.  I was thinking maybe I would take a look and honestly they weren't that good...  They're Gretex so that's good but they felt funny.  Anyway, my two cents.

Cheers Flawed. Take a look at this from Zorno.  It's a long read but a good one.  It talks about how thin we are stretched.  I found the discussion of comparing our defence spending with the Netherlands, Australia and a couple of other countries interesting to say the least.  Unfortunately, its...

ESL? and ya SEEMS spell check, bottom right. Flawed...

  I agree with you on the who wants to go on tour thing isn't sustainable.  However, activating the reserves for Afghanistan will never happen.  I think it would be political suicide.  The situation that I was in with my employer was if you leave you can't come back.  They changed their minds...

Look, if you read my posts you would understand.  I'm on Roto O5.  I was trying to get time off from my employer and I was having trouble.  I have since sorted it out, hopefully.  I'll being going to Shilo in April.  That is why I want information about Shilo.  What do you want Geo.  If you...

  What are you taking about?  Read the posts...    

    Reservists don't need job protection.  What's the point in being in the reserves if you can't be deployed or take courses?  I would hope that reservists shouldn't have to need job protection.  Sort of like how Canada doesn't need the draft or to call up reservists unless there's a...

  What were the good points of Shilo, besides the range, and Winnipeg being two or three hours away? Cheap rent?   Cheers,   V 

  I have received a verbal approval from my employer to go on a tour with a "with out prejudiced Leave".  Um ya.. without prejudice.  Anyway, I think I'll believe it when I see it.  I didn't go through my Union, I went through human resources.  It does seem to be on the level.  They stated they...

Presently, I am trying to establish legislation to enable those that are employed by my employer to go overseas and return to work with at least their present position.  When I asked for permission for service overseas they stated that it "better not be for Afghanistan".  They stated further...
