Anyone read the un-official book about JTF 2? "Canada's Special Forces"? Any truth to it you think? Or is it just a bunch of hog-wash. I've read it, I'm just not sure what to beleive in it. I've got a real question though, for reservists, it requires a component transfer? What happens when...

Hello, I'm looking if anyone knows a method of converting an MGRS grid (with a zone indicator like 16T GS) to a UTM/UPS grid (with sleepers as zone indicators). Maybe someone knows of a chart or a formula to convert frrom one to the other. Thanks for any help you can give.

Just want to know if anyone has or has seen a kit list for the Tac Vest. Wondering what people out there are doing with them. Also if there any "official school" kit list, please share those as well. thanks

this will help, it's given me a few things to work towards. I also dont beleive in the "team building" civie corporation style, that's not the way to fake teamwork. I guess what I am really looking is suggestions for a junior leader. I am at the bottom rung of leadership and would like to know...

Hello, I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve the team mentality, to make things more like a family. Maybe through an exercise, or just general practice. Any help would be apreciated. thanks.

A friend and I have been foloowing the development of the latest and greatest American Bread of self-propelled howitzers. I‘m not sure how many are familiar with the crusader, but this thing a harbringer of doom, and I wonder just how faith in our own drills and equipment will compair to the...

hello: I‘ve seen alot of people with new soles on their MK III combat boots. Is this a new issued boot, or are they modifiying them on their own? If they are issued, how does one get them? If they are not issued, can they be modified by the owner? Does anyone know the cost, and is it alowed by...

Personally, I bleive it‘s a load of crap, and I‘ve also been told it‘s a load of crap. The reasoning behind this rumour is that when you copy something to a floppy disk, or to a bunred CD, the network OS tracks these occurences and what was copied. For a USB mass storage device, the Drive is...

hello, I dont know if this discussion is a big thing with everyone else, but there‘s alot of hoopla flying around that jumpdrives, usb drives, usb keys and all such other devices are against DND policy for use in DND computers. I could use some clarification from any MPs or computer guys or...

Thanks for the input, It seems to vary across the board what the real answer is. Somewhere between 3 to 10 rounds a minute. The Max though, seems to be 10 rpm.

hello, I was just wondering if the DPICM rounds were avilable for a 105mm howitzer. I‘ve been hearing stories on both sides of this fence. thanks.

Hello, Just a quick question, does anyone here know the rate of fire (rounds per minute) for a 105mm (towed) and a 155mm (tracked) howitzers? There doesnt seem to be any kind of reference with this fact in it. Thanks.

It‘s starting to be a real pain to have people come up to you and inforce this "rule" in the field, where comfort is related to effectiveness, and being effective is priority one. If I had the actual CANFORGEN I would have a bit more ammo to protect myself and the people who work for me from...

hello, Does anyone have or know of a CANFORGEN of other document that contains the regulations regarding wearing of the fleece garment as an outer wear. There is alot of speculation and "rules" saying that people cant wear these items on the outside. Thanks.

Hi there, Do any of you Arty guys know where I can get a hold of CIG Directive #3 (GLPS) without having to use a DIN computer? If anyone has it, could you e-mail a copy to me? randy.olive@shaw.ca Thanks.

Hello, I‘ve recently heard talk of a list of books that the army has compiled that they suggest you read for "professional development". Does anyone know where this list is posted, or can anyone tell me what‘s on this list? Thanks for any help.

I just have one quick question, in context to the TCCCS radio system, is IRIS an abreviation or a name? thanks. MBDR OLIVE

I‘m still new to the game, but I‘ve picked up a few tips on how to keep noise and light discipline. 1: use a red filter on your flashlight, but get a second red one and cut a small hole in the middle so that a small amount of white light filters through. This helps for reading maps. 2: If you...

ok, here‘s a tricky one. As anyone who has had to use a map in their career (everyone I suspect) you all know that plotting routes and such is time consuming, and must be done diligently to ensure accuracy. In the artillery (and I‘m not sure who else does this) there‘s a program that can...

hello: I‘ve been looking for a long time for a book (similar to a PAM) which contains the drills that an artillery recce party must do. There are tid bits scaterred throughout several arty PAMs but nothing specific, and no one really seems to know what the exact rules are (simply a barrage of...
