Update to the DND Army page

[ninty9]

I was pleasantly suprised to see that DND has updated the Army page like all the other ones they hav done over the past year.

I remember a discussion a while back on when they would get it done, since they did the front page, but not the army page. Looks good.

Nice work indeed! It‘s been a long time coming, but I know there‘s been a lot of work involved. The changes seem to be geared to the right audience - folks looking for info on the army - and that‘s great!

That update surprised me as well.

The site seems to have definitely retooled for a younger audience. Having a DND menu tab that says ‘cool stuff‘ is worth the update

wow, taht is pretty cool. i never expected that, and i was just on that site a couple days ago. It seems to be really geared towards recruiting...although i thought that they had too many recruits as it is?

If only the massive web design budget were spent on buying new equipment..

Very good job! I like it more informative and easier to access info.

they did a very good job

but, in one of the "action" pics for the Night Vision Goggles, the Soldier is wearing a US Woodland boonie hat

The discussion forum is a nice idea as well, but you have to wonder how heavily moderated it will be, as it is a DND offcial site.

The overall site design is quite nice though, the update was needed. There was a post on the old LFRR forum indicating that the site would be updated. Good work to those involved

Some of us got issued the US boonie cap before the CADPAT one.

Probably worth posting the link to the site "intro" as well:

Clearly a lot of work went into it!

The new website looks a lot like the British Army website. WAY better formated than the US Army website, I give 2 THUMBS UP!!!!! :fifty:

cdnarmy.ca is listed as an ‘official‘ link on the links page.
