    The Woodworking Thread

    Normally 11 Ga chain link fence bottom tension wire, the ends are bent over and inserted into a blind hole to keep them from "catching" then stapled with a fence staple, the one in the picture is 14 Ga cause that is all I had at the time, I have used wire coat hangers in a pinch.

    An assembly table that can double as an out feed comes in handy, you can also make your own bench vice using pipe clamps.

    Improved Combat Uniform

    I think that we should go back to this dress while in garrison, but only if I get to start wearing my smock again.  ;) And being a short ass is a pain in the ass when it comes to sizes of clothing.

    All things Intended Place of Residence/IPR (merged)

    The Shaving Superthread- All You Want and More....

    I also remember the strop as a enforcement device, until my early teens when my mother found it on the splitting block chopped into 2" pieces, none of my 6 brothers ever confessed who carried out the chopping, although mom did graduate to a broom handle that year to keep us in line.

    Pay Scale Regular Force - Do we have also a pay scale per day for extra days?

    Don't forget that the Reg Force gets paid twice per month not every 2 weeks, thus receiving 24 pay cheques vice 26 per year. Actually the paperwork works out as paid once per month, deductions applied and remainder divided into 2 pays.
