    13 hours: the secret soldiers of Benghazi

    Read the book this week and enjoyed it as well, in particular the level of detail and technical descriptions. Planning to go and see the movie this weekend

    LOWA Urban Desert MPS boots?

    +1 on the LOWA Zephyr Deserts without GTX. Not quite as good as Keen Voyageur Mids IMHO but more uniform friendly. If you need a taller boot you might want to check out OTB boots, they have been getting good reviews.

    shhhh... I'm trying to pass myself off as an upstanding citizen  ;)

    Posting Policy-Restricted (IR) & Prohibited moves [MERGED]

    I recommend something off Elgin street, lots of one bedroom apts around $800/mo. Very short walk to the transitway and busses to anywhere in the city. Being able to walk to the market, shopping, restaurants etc on a whim is fantastic.

    Michael Yon on Canadians, Menard, (violating) OPSEC [merged]

    Was this the HW4 bridge over the river? If so there is an ANP checkpoint and guardhouse right at the south end of the bridge... so I guess you could say the ANSF had responsibility for its security, just like most of the other roads, bridges, culverts and checkpoints in KC... Yon needs to shut...

    2010 Budget - Let the Hand Wringing Begin...

    I agree with both Edward's and Old Sweat's assessment. We see this protectionism in the CF as well, as anyone who has had involvement in the Strat Review can attest to. Offer up the unpalatable as your bottom 5% and hope the centre backs off...  ::) As a taxpayer I am hoping for the kind of...

    Ady Gil Loses Bow to Japanese Whaling Vessel

    Well if the Minke population is around 665,074 like it says on the ref linked on wikipedia, and the Japanese are harvesting about 900 Minke's per year, then that would be a harvest of about 0.135% of the local Minke population, or between 1/10th and 2/10th of 1%. Now I'm no whale biologist like...

    UNAUTHORIZED DISPOSAL OF COMBAT UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT

    Moe, I'm not sure on this but I think amastermason is talking about the smock made by Drop Zone. I think they were one of the companies allowed to use the real deal.

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    Agreed. I only point it out to illustrate the bureaucratic complexity of DND. Almost 20 Level 1 Orgs. Madness.

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    Absolutely part of the CF, but not part of the Army.

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    It is part of CDA (Canadian Defence Academy), which falls under CMP (Military Personnel Command).

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    Ahh but RMC doesn't belong to the Army.

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    I agree with your line of thinking, however I would suggest that in order to run your part-time army you require a certain amount of full-time or "active duty" reservists providing direct support (the B(A)'s). Yes this could be and has been done by RegF RSS staff, with varrying degrees of...

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    The delicious irony is that we have hired several very Senior and General Officers on long-term Class B contracts in order to staff the Strat Review directorate. This is on top of the huge amount of staff horsepower being thrown at Strat Review by each Lvl 1. There have been "Tiger Teams" full...
