Just to add to this discussion.  On the Ticker on CNN, All US military personal heading to Iraq or Afghanistan will no longer be allowed to use there own Body armor.  Seems a new company has won a contract to supply cutting edge body armor.

What ever they decide to get they better get it soon.  There are now 2 Herc's fully retired on the tarmac in Trenton just this year.  I don't think we have 5-8 years to replace our aircraft.  I would not be surprised if we see a huge defence spending spree during the budget, in the 8-12 billion...

Nice new sea containers.  About time we got some new ones and send the old long style to the NSE's so they can stop renting them

I still say conscription is very bad idea.  The CF will end up having to deal with the baggage oh any who are conscripted. Weather it be drugs, massive personal debt, how they conduct themselves and level of physical fitness.    It opens a massive can of work for suppervisors and money/resourses...

I voted "no" I do not want to work with someone who does not want to be in. And if they did they would have enlisted.  If you conscripted 50 you might get 5 that really come to work every day with drive, with 45 crying that they were "forced" to join and have XXX days left till they are done.

I have one simple rule. I don't give anything out I would not use myself.  If you actual apply that you do your job right. It scares me when common seance and the military gel together. Oh and the big kicker.  Respect, seems to work

I do not know if each base has money to buy it's own vehicles, but I seen what I believe was a Fright liner mini truck (might be wrong)  with a double cab in Borden carrying Recruits to the ranges and such.  It looks like it would be a good ride seats 6 in the cab, with the standard bed and tarp...

I agree with Inch.  The military want to train there personal there way.  Why because the system says so.

The movie reminds me a of a saying I heard once . There's nothing like a good war for a capitalist

I know they used to recommend The Personal, I do not know if they do any more, but just laugh, refuse the number and shop around.

From my experience ST 5 or civvy supervisors are generally retired military or people who have worked long and hard to be there.  I do not mind having a civvy for a boss, I found they usually give a rats ass about unit politics and advancing there own carear and care more about getting the job done.

Here is a question for you Vern. I think I know the answer but.  Civvies get no more training than what they are taught from the section they are in correct?

lucky you

Civy's working in supply might be a touchy subject for some, but not for me.  Alot are retired military with a vast amount of Knowledge. Or hard working people that do the best that they can.  While some are just a waste of space that have no desire to learn what they are doing and just want...

It's almost as bad as the New Ground Sheet smell. :(

Now that is talent.

The problem lies with the fact that the attacker, rebels or what ever they are know that the UN will keep a short and tight leash on it's loaned troops in the country.  They wouldn't be doing this if they knew the Un troops acted as they should be TROOPS.

Well thank god they gave up the idea of a cadpat barret.  The way I see it.  If you have it issued.  And it's green.  It just might end up Cadpat. 

You just figured out one of the biggest secrets.  I know that when I did basic, the MCpl would come through bark off about your kit being messed up.  Unless he brought the piece of kit right up to your face, you did a visual over it, and if you found nothing put it back.  Most of the time, on...
