Hmmm, this may explain why my NDI 75 did not qualify as "Government-issued photo ID" when flying through Pearson last week. As I flashed my ROS card to the nice lady from Westjet...some hesitation...she turned to her colleague and stage-whispered something about some communique regarding the...

V-Shaped reactive armour, I am going to say T-90. Storage bin should be on the left side of the turret, though, so who knows...?

Some kind of counter-battery-radar-thingy, right?

Dave, This may help: http://www.icsos.ca/References/down%20but%20not%20out%20rev%2001.pdf Scanned copy of the "DOWN but not OUT" B-GA-217-001/PT-001, a DND aircrew survival manual. I have no idea if this publication is still used (...my hard copy was published in 1984...), but it has lots of...

Everyone pulling shift on Operations and in Duty Centers; those working in Emergency Services or keeping the roads clear and the lights on... Hope you had a peaceful one! :subbies:

I am curious what the policy is in the British Navy? I recall the Brit Jimmies on Mount Gola sending down garbage bags full of empties while their Canadian counterparts (Bosnia 2VP 1997) were still suffering through the Army's long, dark winter of abstinence. It seemed to me that their CofC had...

In keeping with the theme of this thread... Search function is n/s at this time, but I recall someone posting on this site about a Jimmy with an extravagant and possibly fictional account of his adventures on Op Apollo ROTO 0. It may have been related to a Facebook post or maybe a CBC story. I...

If that's the case, 180 million bucks is a helluva lot less than the cost of the original TCCCS contract. Of course, no fabulous field printers and "laptops" included this time....

More info at link... http://rf.harris.com/news/view_pressrelease.asp?act=lookup&pr_id=3724 Apparently they will be supplying, "...AN/PRC-152A wideband handheld radio, AN/PRC-117G wideband manpack radio, as well as the RF-7800H high-frequency manpack...". No mention of number of units. I...

Hi, Way back in the mists of time, when the DCDS Directive of International Operations was the bible... 1. One year between tours without requiring a waiver; and 2. Waiver required for TAV's, etc 60 days or longer if you are inside the one year limit.

Wolfeyez, Depart with dignity...More than just a statement! After 26 years of Regular Force service, "book-ended" by two years before and two years after as a Reserve member of the Communications and Electronics Branch, I said farewell to my military career this year with an profound feeling...

Appears similar to the EP-3C vs F8 incident from 2001: http://fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RL30946.pdf Passing under the nose sounds like the "thumping" practiced by Chinese pilots, described on page 19 of the report.

Hard work and long hours the last time around...hopefully the troops from 1 Bde won't again find themselves road-moving from a field exercise in Alberta to slinging sandbags in southern Manitoba!
