The people who told me that story were completely afraid of him. He left a couple of years after I joined, I managed to avoid him for the most part.

Just wait for the class action lawsuit for general harassment, the government will be broke.I had a Pl Sgt like that once.
I'm pretty sure they used him as a model for Sgt. Barnes in the movie 'Platoon'. I like to think that I helped end his career in my regiment.
And like The Champ I says "pardon"? Who the fuck was this moron?In my unit slightly before I joined, a Sgt on a February exercise in -30 weather went around 25 minutes before H-Hour and told everyone to take their gloves off, so that they could more effectively use their weapons.
Sadly someone probably did that to him and he was too stupid to even ask why. Sigh.In my unit slightly before I joined, a Sgt on a February exercise in -30 weather went around 25 minutes before H-Hour and told everyone to take their gloves off, so that they could more effectively use their weapons.
Fight naked. Scare the enemy by showing him your junk.And hundreds of other myths rumoured to make you harder to kill.
- Gloves reduce your ability to use your weapons effectively.
- Toques and hoods reduce your hearing and peripheral vision allowing the enemy to approach you undetected.
- Rain suits are noisy and give away your position.
- Boots, rubber, clumsy, will make you less agile.
- Wearing a scarf inhibits your ability to fire from the prone position.
- Warm food makes you sleepy and less alert.
Woad.Fight naked. Scare the enemy by showing him your junk.
OMG!!! I haven't heard that one in forever... all the way back to my ISCC, I think. What memories that brings back. I can't wait to tell my EAP lady about that on Monday.
This is really the only way I can respond to that:
I do believe the Celts and Gauls did that when they fought.Fight naked. Scare the enemy by showing him your junk.
I'm assuming most of their battles were fought in the summer thenI do believe the Celts and Gauls did that when they fought.

I don't get what's wrong with the last 2 pictures.Why would it matter if it's authorized or not? People just do what they want anyways...and the CAF Social Media folks post it not having a clue
In his defence the newer DEUs I've gotten are so incredibly crap quality. I've had the same pant size my whole career and the new ones hang on me just like that without massive tailoring. They are so cheap I'm not sure if it's worthwhile in COVID to get it done. And a new tunic also looks awful and is really weirdly cut, so had to be totally rejigged by the tailor. Similary a lot of people are having a hard time with keeping the weight off while working from home so not really a surprise to see someone with a tight tunic at this point, so context is somewhat important. I'm not going to harp on someone for a random photo posted on twitter as I have no idea on what's going on with that person, or when the random photo was taken and dropped onto the desk of some PA. There is some video of me in one of the recruiting videos looking a bit disheveled; the arsehole cameraman was in the way when we were trying to recover from a fire and I'd been awake for about 30 hours.[quoted post removed by moderator]
