I ordered the new style parade boots with the Vibram soles on them to replace my pretty worn old ones and that was a mistake. The new boots are comfy, but are cheap crap. The first set I received looked about the same(topo map of newfoundland), so I returned them thinking that I got a dud set...

I for one think the RG-31 is garbage. The amount of time they need to be maintained is outrageous, and it seems that every time you turn around something different is broken. They're also very underpowered which makes taking them off-road an issue(especially along side LAV's). Plus riding...

Well for one, Ward Engley has been in the Army for quite some time and has quite a large amount of operational experience. He knows what goes on within a section and I'm very sure he has a good understanding of how things are done. Also the fact that a Lt. is also claiming the same thing...

2 great guys who were both excellent soldiers. I'll sorely miss the both of you. R.I.P.

Good video post, the ones from the blog post are pretty bad ass too.

Wainright should have had it long before Kandahar, I feel for you guys posted out there.

It's not really a different argument at all. If you live at home still with Mom and Dad and YOU support them, then it's up to you to take out a life insurance policy for them if you want them taken care of financially if and when you die. Oh bleeding hearts, how is this not fair?

Hey now, Petawawa/Pembroke are great supporting towns. After every Roto, all car dealerships mark-up stock 15% just in time for the troops.

Like was said by someone earlier. The ACC isn't filled with fans, the seats are bought out by yuppies for schmoozing purposes. But all in all, we'll still be behind our team win or lose. Unlike some fans...wearing red ;D

Let's hope that the firing of Quinn is just the start of good things. Let's not forget, Quinn played Tie Domi all year who contributed absolutely nothing, he played Eddie Belfour time and time again with an ailing back and a horrible record ever growing. He also set up Sundin beside guys like...

It mentions that he'll be going over to combat in Kandahar. Are Res Engineers doing combat missions? And is that a CornFlake...or a Campaign Star?  :boring:

Isn't Nigmegen normally done with ruck sacks as opposed to small-packs? Any idea of why it has changed?

R.I.P Glyn Berry Best Wishes To The Wounded Troops

You have an excellent point there Ghost. It is hard for troops to want to listen to a guy with just a little more time in than them, and with maybe the same amount of experience. But in that sense, a lot of it is all about right place, at the right time, as with any army course. We send a lot of...

Sorry, I left out TOET's. It's not much practice, or perfect practice for that matter but it's a good start. I too agree that it's idiotic to give people loaded weapons they're not familiar with handling on a daily basis.

A good point, but I think he should have said from the beginning that he wasn't qualified and not taken the pistol to begin with. Then perhaps they could let him do a PWT to get qualified, or have him do something that doesn't require it. His leadership had little to do with it, he was tasked to...

Yup I understand it, fully and completely. Remember you mentioned it around 4 times? You still didn't get what I was saying after repeating it twice. I'm not going to argue with you over it, after all, you're a genius in your own little world. And yes I am sorry..sorry that you have the...

Altogether you're comparing 2 very different places with 2 different missions. I suppose it could turn into the next 'Iraq', but remember that allied forces have been in country for 4 years now. If they were to step it up, they probably would have done so by now. All in all, it has scaled down.

I'm pretty sure I read this right. By the looks of your name perhaps you're having a problem with the written english language??? But my intentions were not to start an argument, have you honestly ever heard of anyone buying a mac at sometimes 3 times the cost of a pc for word pro and surfing...
