We already have a number of systems suitable for parachuting infantry onto positions, from high and low alt, with a combination of free - fall and static line technologies, oxygen, navigational aids etc. A more pressing concern would be to get the AF to make military parachuting a priority, so...

http://www.essgoggles.com/Striker-TurboFan_7_detail.html OK, So I'm a guy that sweats - lots, especially when I'm wearing silly amounts of kit and running around yelling and shooting, and my goggles/ballistic eyewear always fog up, even in the summer, especially in the winter, so I usually end...

GO!!! is doing a speech to an academic audience in pursuance of higher education. This is a purely academic endeavour, and does not reflect the opinions, views or positions of the CF, the DND or the Canadian Government. It is not given from the standpoint of a military member, but that of a...

Well, there goes a great program. It was good while it lasted. Pretty shortsighted though, why would'nt the CF support this? Read the letter - Thoughts? http://usera.imagecave.com/system/showpicture.asp?u=GO&p=CFUP.jpg&a=

OK, this little anouncement came from the acting CSM of the 3 VP Para Coy. It was to the effect that he and the OC were displeased with the number of injuries in the company, and as a result, anyone who was on a medical chit would lose their maroon beret and jump pay, until such a time as they...

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee – The Future of a Canadian Forces Intent on Punching Above it’s Weight The future of Canada’s defense forces must be one of a lean, mean, results oriented machine.  For the CF to remain relevant in the current context of modern warfare and the operations...

http://www.wheelersonline.com/detail.asp?product_id=3000 (Ahem) I had to say this after finding out about this particular piece of hardcore kit. If you own one of these, just kill yourself. There is no hope for you, don't worry, mom and dad will make sure your GI joes and their hand stitched...

I just finished reading Noam Chomsky's "Hegemony or Survival", and after considering the "heavy left foot" that he is in posession of, I was left asking myself a question. Is the world a safer place due to US dominance in nearly all things, or is it more dangerous? I have a number of...

Explain the decision of the Canadian government not to join the coalition in the war against Iraq. The decision of the Canadian government not to participate in the American - led "coalition of the willing" that was intended to remove the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein from power, was an easy...

With all of the hoopla of the passing of the 60th anniversary of the nuking of Hiroshima, I was quite upset that there was no recognition of the reasons that Japan was bombed in the first place. While these are numerous, and easily argued, another point came to mind. Why are we not making...
