I am currently in the middle of the LAV III RWS Train the Trainer gunners course, so I might be able to help out a little with any questions.  In regards to the weapons, the weapon station itself is mounted in front of the gunners hole, slightly off of centre.  Makes learning about inhibit...

The problem is we are duplicating the UER, MPRR and PDR systems with reams of useless junk.  We have put forward to use the documents we are nationally mandated to use and got shot down.  Thanks tips for letting us know we should find a solution to the problem though.  That was helpful. You...

Lets not restrict that to senior staff.  I am a section second in command and the amount and type of paperwork that comes to me to be filled out is borderline ridiculous.  For our individual soldiers we have, info sheets, pro formas, MPRR print outs, a qualification master list, monitor mass...

You have to narrow the aperature, a lot.  I mean as small as it will go before diffraction shows up hardcore and flinch fire it with cable release.  I am already planning! If you are who I think you are, I believe that is already answered... If not shoot me a PM for the price list and contact...

Weapons no. Women yes. If she already knows how much a taxi costs from the bar to the shacks you might want to double bag.

All of this is open source.  Are there small changes in the ghan?  Of course.  Have we completly shifted the way we organise and deploy our forces? Not really.  Everything is structured to be adaptable.  So when you need two veh's to carry one section (ie RG-31) of course the number of crews...

Thought I would revive this rather than start a new thread. I was hoping to add my initial impressions of this shirt which was recently purchased.  So far it has just been walked around the house and some minor calaesthetics with my frag vest and cement plates. What I like; Overall I am very...

I have been guilty of the remove mag rack round out of chamber (catch in mid air for style points) jam finger in mag well pull trigger pray Not recently mind you, I play by the book now.  Sometimes you can be too familiar with a weapon and forget to treat it as such.  From an 00010-010 which...

Ranges maybe... No way on the ex.  I have a hard enough time carrying the weight of this beard around, the last thing I need is another 10 pounds of camera gear.  Maybe one day when they stick me somewhere cushy, but a rifle section has no place for a photographer ;) As an aside I have a 67mm...

Shooting tanks is actually a lot like shooting fireworks, the LAV's are even easier. Step 1.  Forget about doing it handheld.  This is absolutely essential.  With the shutter speed drag you are going to have to work at a tripod/beanbag/6 foot table is 100% required no if ands or buts.  I can...

It really all depends on what you are shooting... what is it you are looking to capture and what kind of cash do you have to spend?  VR and IS lenses tend to be heavier and have a more complex optical formula as they need extra elements in them to shift to compensate for vibration.  They are...

We were mostly blessed, the yellow flag did show its ugly face once or twice though... http://www.flickr.com/photos/deh39/3297678206/sizes/l/in/set-72157614083665191/

Very true, even for some of the shots from TOC i was using a EF-s 10-22mm (which looks a lot like 16mm at the wide end on a full frame camera).  The DX lenses definitely have their place.  Some of my favourite shots are with that lens.  I had to sell it now that I am trying to simplify my...

Now those are some shots I'd love to see.  I am fascinated by large scale industry in general and I never miss the assembly line parts of shows like future weapons.  Its cool seeing the skeleton all in place and the stuff all hanging out all over.  Maybe we can start a favourite picture thread...

I'll have a Ken Rockwell moment and say the best camera and lens lineup in the world is the one that gets you out and shooting.  Some people like nikon some like canon, some like primes others swear by zooms, some are  nuts about available light and others prefer flash.  No point really...

Thanks man,  for the record the z pattern HEI-T shoot was my favourite.  Nevermind that we had to do with TPDS-T.  Sadly I'll never get to gun as I did the course as a MCpl. Unless I play punchout at a mess dinner.  Ahh to be a Pte again...

You can't really compare a crop sensor consumer lens to a full frame L series professional lens.  You are comparing the kia rio to a space shuttle at this point.  Whenever Nikon updates their professional Prime lenses to af-s/g I'll switch the same day.  As in when they update the 85mm f1.4D to...

I love how the fanboy-ism (mostly mine I admit ;)) even spills over into places like this.  To be honest with the discount Nikon gives all Federal Government employees I am seriously considering the switch.  That, and I can abuse work lenses when I go to the field.  It's true though, there is...

Thanks! You know I could deal with jumping rats if it meant I never had to hear the words "Winter" and "Indoc" ever again.  Should be some new pictures coming soon, plenty of blocked out spots on the calender these days.

Thanks for the kind words!  The night shoots are always cool.  I think you find once you get into the DSLR's there really is little difference in the equipment, more the user that makes the shot.  And being the canon fanboy I am, I can't help but point out that almost all pro sports shooters use...
