What sort of electrical outlets are present on the interior of the Canadian Army's BV206?  24V, but what sort of plug?  Any cigarette lighter ports?  Any in the rear, or just in the front cab?  Does it have a Cooking and Boiling Unit?  I wouldn't imagine that it has any sort of electrical...

Howdy. Anybody who has done any winter road moves in a Bison is well-acquainted with the Arctic blast through the driver's hatch which is directed at the crew commander.  A month or so ago, I heard somebody mention that the M113 had something like a kayak skirt to fit around the driver; would...

Haven't been able to get a pair since '08.  Yet here they are, never issued judging by the tags on 'em in the photos, and being sold off in bulk, and I'm stuck with the bloody moon boots. ...

The powers that be have made the colossal error of giving me a Bison.  I like to think of it as a self-propelled tea kettle with a machinegun.  Trouble is, my BV won't work on generator power.  It'll only run with engine power.  One of our drivers suggested ensuring the ignition switch was on...

Does anybody know what that fried cheese was (I think it was some sort of cheese, anyway) at breakfast at Camp Nathan Smith?  I miss it, and I need it.

I'm trying to swap out the sight on my No.4.  I've got the retaining pin out, but the axis pin on which the sight turns won't come out.  It rotates, and it moves laterally about a millimeter, but that's it.  Any idea what the trouble is?  All I can think of is that it might be slightly bent...

I happened to come across this on my job search.  Don't think I'm quite qualified, so somebody else might as well have a go if they're interested. "Radio Maintenance Technologist" with Canada Border Services Agency in Ottawa, paying $53,459 to $64,243 per annum...

Hello, all. On Thursday night, I received word that I have been accepted for a "general duties" position on TF 1-07.  I'm doing IBTS in December.  I know nothing else.  Would anybody  be able to enlighten me as to some details? Somebody raised an interesting (and disturbing) possibility:  what...

Would somebody be able to inform me as to 1) which battalion TF 1-08 is being built around,  2) which area the reserves for the tour are being drawn from, and 3) how difficult it woud be (not entirely hypothetically) for a fellow from, say, LFAA to get on a TF drawn from LFWA or LFCA? At the...

I figured this didn't quite fit in with the TF 1-07 thread, so I started a new one. Upon returning to my unit following completion of my SQ and DP1 this summer, I put in a memorandum requesting employment on TF 1-07.  I finished DAGing a couple of weeks ago, and I've been waiting for a position...
