I was on an ex last year using the issue inner, outer, and bivy bag with a 3 year old canadian tire fleece liner. We were in a mod tent without heat and on cots. My bags had not been dry cleaned in 2 years and I was fairly warm at -45 (-55 with windchill :o) wearing only my gitch. The bags...
While I understand the train of thought behind the deploying personel getting new kit first, they are just going to get the arid pattern rain gear when they get there anyway. Should the temperate pattern not go to the people staying here who will be actually using it?
I agree with this post completely. I am in a CSS unit and while I haven't been overseas yet (although I am leaving in a few days to do so),I have seen quite a few people who were attached to units as individuals come back. Almost all of these people are changed in one way or another. I truly...
Very well-spoken article. It's a real shame that people who have no idea of the actual situation over there are writing articles designed to sway public opinion against our cause. I really hope the paper wll print this response.
I was also there today, and I very much enjoyed and appreciated the fact that the PM, CDS and MND were in attendance and spoke. Hillier is always enjoyable to listen to, and I like the stand that the PM took on the Afghan prisoner debate. That being said, it did seem mostly like a political...
Actually, when it is unrolled over the ruck the green patch should be at the bottom of the valice bag.
And since no one else has actually told you how to put it on, I'll tell you how I was shown. Just tie the straps on the white end to the frame right above the shoulder straps. When you pull...

Hello
I'm trying to find the web address of the EMAA site that allows you to check the status of your pay and such online, but all the addresses I have been given from my unit don't seem to work. I was wondering if anyone had the address for the login oage of this site.
Thanks in advance

The only thing about not bringing a lot of stuff is whether or not you are going to be able to go get the rest of your clothes right after BMQ. Cause it would kinda suck to be sent to Borden or somewhere else where you are allowed to wear civvies in the evenings and not really have any. Just a...
I can't believe how many people don't like the Mark III's! The Black Caddi's are the most comfortable thing I've had on my feet in a long time. I personly don't like the WWB. They are too warm and not near enough support for marches. As far as socks, it's all personal preference. I love the...
