Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the Skydex kit or any similar product is available on the ground in Afghanistan?

I refer to these especially enlightened left wing luminaries as "anti-humanitarians" as the Taliban can do no wrong, because mayhem and terror is apparently part of "indigenous self determination". I feel terrible for the average Afghan, I can't see how we can tolerate people living under such...

My God, I'm glad I've stuck to my new years resolution not to post on the G&M comment boards. The things people have to say about Afghan related news is simply disgusting. I stopped reading after about a dozen posts. 80 people are indiscriminately murdered while attending an event, and all they...

I thought MOB stood for "Massively Oversized Box" I gathered up all the stuff on the kit list for 1-08 and it barely fills one box. The boxes themselves take up the majority of the individual and combined max weights for UAB. When the UAB was shipped off there was a week long period where you'd...

I figured it was real, but the gun inside from the rockets looked like a 25 mm barrel.

Its my first tour over there, but I get the crazy impression from higher that I will have little time for coffee at Kandahar Tims.  I'd like to hear input on this from some of the salty old dogs who've been there and done that. Maybe I'm bitter and jaded, but I will outright tell civies that the...

I think Tim Hortons childrens charities are a far better cause for Timmies patrons to donate their change to. I know I'm paid well enough to afford my own coffee. I've been encouraging friends and family to donate money to charity (adopt a minefield) rather than flooding the system with care...

Roger that, I try not to get sucked into these things, but I am thoroughly irritated by Op Objection, though I don't recruit anymore it brings a smile to my face when ever these goofs are called out for the fools they are. I expect these fellows will get shot down by the community at large a la...

The verbal war with David Heap has really heated up on facebook. This guy has a vicious hate-on for people in uniform. I'm still arguing with him, though my one and only new years resolution was to not argue with assholes on the internet (More specifically, on the Globe and Mail website). I'm...

Thats a shame, the NDP used to have some good MPs and they usually field good honest people in the rural ridings, unfortunately/fortunately  the only candidates you hear about in the news are the moonbeam tree huggers or the Nazi's in orange. This is just another crazy left wing "for the people...

There is a section on the SNARL facebook page for dissenting opinions. I actually joined the group to lend some constructive criticism to the young lad. The fact that they have not replied to my arguments in the past 4 or 5 days, and that the dissenting opinions page has more commentary than the...

How exotic! Seems like a awfully big and expensive plane for such a task, how many SUVs could this bird carry?

I skipped ahead a couple weeks on the chart and I am a couple weeks in, and I am finding that the program works. I've never put much emphasis on the upper body strength, but I roll with a pretty burly crowd these days. As always, the key is to soldier on.

I sure hope that some day the cadets get to use a real rifle again. I rather enjoyed the re-chambered Lee Enfield, so I would lean towards a bolt action rifle. It might have been because I was in Air Cadets, but at the time I made no link between range shooting (I sure enjoyed the indoor range...

MFRC already had the draw for the jerseys?

As is evident by the inappropriate use of the word "accidental" or the phrase "shooting spree" it is clear to me and likely to other Canadians that journalistic integrity is on the decline in this country. Are Canadian forces being slagged intentionally as part of some agenda or do these...

The G & M allows you to make comments on their stories online, some of the comments are way out there! The G & M does a pretty shabby job of covering A-stan and anything to do with the CF. I am a recruiter, so I have to explain the mission to people every day. People think we are in Iraq too...

Everything this guy says is full of Orwellian left-wing double speak. Clearly, the best way to support your position is to re-write the past. It always astounds me that the "peaceniks" are always the ones resorting to extremely sinister tactics such as: Ignoring the facts Distorting the truth...

Of course the press needs to know, how else will mole hills turn into mountains?

I'd have to double check the strategic intake plan at work, but the total goal is likely no more than 500 pers for university intake plans. Clearly, baby killing body snatchers like myself are way out of control!  >:D
