With shot show just around the corner, I'm very intrigued by this news on the optic front. Evolutionary or revolutionary?

I used to use one to fill out score reporting sheets as a soccer referee in the early 2000's. It was a portable typewriter and I definitely appreciated the mechanical aspect of it. Makes me want to dig it out now!

The new subdued flag looks like it will be much different than your typical subdued green version. It seems to incorporate some IR elements (the red portion of the flag would be IR black) and the rest would be OD or CADPAT. I don't have the soldier system initiatives .ppt with me at the moment...

The new subdued flags wont be in the system for a while. We were told to use IR flags for now.

Just heard it is not a Cameron. Likely working on the national sentry task.

Correction: soldier's status is unknown

My sincere condolences to the family, all it takes is a few seconds to undo many years. Unfortunately, a reactionary decision has already been handed down. Staff and students of a brigade battleschool have been ordered to wear civilian attire to and from work as well as any time in public.

Here is an interesting contender in the ~$150k range: the Polaris Dagor. http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20141016-polaris-dagor-ready-for-action

They're issuing them out to NCMs at CFSUO Clothing Stores...rank Velcro and flags are in short supply, but they're in the wild.

With all the budget cuts, it's funny how they increased the amount of course time by 6 weeks in order to become a qualified infantry master corporal versus the old system with the addition of the DP2 ASA course (formerly the sargeants course), especially for the PRes who are on the same courses...

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29052599 Ukraine crisis: France halts warship delivery to Russia France has said conditions are "not right" for delivery of the first of two Mistral assault navy ships to Russia. President Francois Hollande's office blamed Moscow's recent actions in...

Don't be afraid to broaden your horizons! I'm surprised they havent integrated the cadence with the accelerometer that is built into the phone...probably due to android being fractured as it is in terms of standard features on a phone. That being said, most sports watches won't even capture the...

I think you'll find a better experience with either Runkeeper or Strava. Personally, I love the metrics Strava gives me, such as comparisons to others running the same "segments" as I am. You can even compete on a leaderboard for those specific segments or create your own, seeing how you did...

As mentioned above, I was not on SG 14 but my statement was a broad reflection of what typically happens on brigade+ exes. I imagine stories will be told about this for months/years just the same as any other area concentration.

I wasn't on SG 14 but it sounds like perennial complaints from the armoured recce side that have been going on for years. On some brigade/div ex's, even the infantry was not employed properly (or at all). Trillium Response a couple years back consisted of sitting in an arctic tent for 10 days...

They have indeed selected the Multicam variant (actually, the original multicam called Scorpion W2 which the US owned and would not have to pay royalties to Crye for, even though it was Crye developed) for their new uniforms. Part of this was due to a bill passed by congress stipulating that any...

No longer "will have" but "do have". I exchanged my 3 sets of hole riddled combat laungeret the other day and got 3 sets of the ECU complete, (though only one rank velcrolette and astronaut flag due to national shortages). They do indeed have everything that was outlined in the initial...

I echo what Brihard has said, but given that your two posts have largely concerned your ability to go home during summer training, I will also echo what has been said in your other thread: it's not going to happen. Training in Meaford has been cut down to ~45 days straight for the infantry, and...

You obviously haven't looked in the french drill manual! (Before someone gets their panties in a bunch, this is coming from someone with a Franco-Ontarian family and is purely meant as a joke. If we can't poke fun at ourselves, then the terrorizors have won.)
