Actually there is a cup that fits the Nalgene bottles. Stainless steel and folding handle just like a canteen cup. I use the 2 qt and straw for the warm months and my "thermos" canteen for the winter. Yah, the 2 qt is not the best option but it works for me.

Unless a C3 replacement project comes online soon, I think the Militia gun batteries will be in the same boat as the Militia "Armoured" squadrons. With the new budget hacking and slashing the DND money tree, you can bet the Militia ia about priority 84,263 for new equipment. During the 90's...

2 years ago I was the course WO on a BMQ (LFQA), and the recruits were issued MOB's. Not sure if this is still the case.

Not sure if this is relevant, but in the last month I've seen a few C1/C2's on flatbed trailers. First was in NB, on the highway between Oromocto and Moncton, then just last week 3 in Lachine, Quebec. Looks like the army is moving some of the old stuff around.

Yep, seen that in G-town in '86.

We were in the same Cadet Corps back in the day. Its a heck of a shame, he's younger than I am. RIP.

This is a great post. This one will be getting printed and put on the bulletin board.

Its still happening. The ammo dump in Valcartier tried to pass off some 577A1 to us last year.

I'm going to stay out of rant mode here, Mike, I'm sorry to say, if your going to stay in the Militia, get used to it. Since I've been in I have never seen the situation get better, only worse..... and right now is as bad as I've ever seen it. Say hi to MWO G for me.

Our backdoor has already been measured by CE ..... so I guess the new door will be installed in 2014 or thereabouts  ;D

Well, I'll throw my $0.02 worth in here. I did my 13 km yesterday and I much prefer the new ruck over the 82 pattern. No sore shoulders, just sore feet  ;D

I have a powerpoint that shows the layout of the new Milcots. It looks to me like the CEV will have the same extended cab as the Artillery Gun Tractor. That means 4 guys in the back, plus 3 up front for 7 total.

Its been a heck of a long time since I shot a Regt. mission but I'll take a kick at the can. The message from 0 is not a ammo order so the observer would have to order "5 rds FFE" and not just "FFE". I don't like 0 getting involved in this, he's not the guy with eyes on the target, but someone...

I'm using a Berry pouch on the "admin" side of my Tac Vest, works great for my DAGR and aide memoires. I'm think of getting another one for the other side too, but I'm not sure how that's going to work with the 2 qt canteen I have in that C-9 pouch.

Glad to help, enjoy your Glock  ;D Craig

Are you aware that Glock has a Mil/LEO discount ? I recently bought a G22 w/ TNS, 5 mags and the GTL for $933. The price for the basic package ( G22, TNS, 2 mags) is $637. Contact Jo at http://www.policeordnance.com/ He'll need a copy of your ID and RPAL. HTH, Craig

NTC is the "National Training Center" at Ft. Irwin in the Mojave Desert. Its the place we got the idea for the new setup in Wainwright. Not sure what JRTC is. Craig

I have a personal MSR Whisperlite Internationale and I would not want to hand it over to the boys in my troop. Its too fragile and temperamental for bulk issue. I just received ,through the supply system, Coleman Exponent 1 burner stoves ( Naphtha, unleaded gas or kerosene fuels). They work...

That's the one  :) Thanks to PB&J for the NSN Craig

The first year we ( In the Reserves) has the C-7 a MWO told me we couldn't use metal mags " because our rifles were specially modified" ...... I removed my metal mag and inserted a cheap plastic one, then walked away muttering to myself. Craig
