darkness lite, no no no, not what I meant. I meant that's what I did during both of the out of country jobs I was on. It was nothing special, that's what I'm trying to say. All I did was stay in a single spot for a couple days in the woods with some mags, frags, and a long gun. Nothing special...

Gentlemen, many here have seemed to think that standing around with a few mags, frags, and a long gun in a forest doing nothing is some how my idea of HSLD ops. Not in the slightest. I'm not going to get into a huge pissing match arguing and debating every point brought against me. I apologize...

Ghost778, there have been many threads about the concept of warrior on the LF forums, though what I typed wasn't copied from any source (save for the quote). Sent you a PM btw. That $5000 wasn't just courses, but ammo for the courses, ammo for shooting here in TO, paying for martial...

Techy25, I was in the Royal Regiment of Canada for a couple of years, R031. RCA, gunfighting is just a blanket term for things like weapons handling, CQB techniques, shooting and moving, fire and movement, etc.

Oh, I would go and get extra training even if I was still in the CF. Training in the CF and the tactical skills taught are lightyears behind the latest techniques that are out there. It's aboslutely incredible the disservice we are doing to our soldiers by not teaching them the most effective...

Since I'm not in the military that would make me a civilian, wouldn't it. As opposed to me spending my money as... ??? Michael, warriors come from all walks of life. Doesn't matter if they're soldier or civilians. I know some civvies that are more warrior than some soldiers I've run into...

Definitely a good point made by both Ghost778 and KevinB. Since May till now I've spent about $5000 on training. That's both gunfighting skills and combatives. I've spent maybe $500 on gear. That is the kind of ratio you want to have. A warrior does not rely on equipment as a crutch, he uses...

I really think that's up to the individual. For OBUA/CQB I'll pick a holosight any day of the week. For green work I'd prefer an ACOG. That's just me though. Keep in mind the C79 and eotech holosight are two sights which were concieved for different missions.

My favourite non-magnified sight in the world. I love it. Can't say enough good things about it. Some people have had them fail and I've yet to ascertain if that's just due to a bad batch or some other more in depth problem. It's simple, has a great FOV, and it's quick quick quick to sight on...

Shit people, haven't you heard of OPSEC? ;D

I like this, you force me to justify my choices. Good stuff. A good warrior constantly critiques to find out why something is better or worse. As I said, my chest rig and the pouches are several orders tougher than the TV. The quality of workmanship on every aspect of my rig far exceeds the...

That starts on Friday. She advance party? In any case I certainly won't miss her... Bloody disgrace to the profession of arms is what that attitude is...

Truer words Blake, were never spoken. To answer the previous questions, it wasn't in Canada (obviously not, what with the mag restrictions here), and the ammo loadout for this rig is predicated on two jobs that I have done (different rig, my 82 pattern webbing actually) and two jobs that I will...

Listen up to mudgunner, he most definitely knows what he's talking about. Welcome to the board bro!

Kevin, thanks for the kind words. I readily admit I still suffer at times from the impetuousness of youth... that what I need you old timers for, to put me in my place ;). BTW, did you get my e-mail on MWS and barrel lengths? Sent it out about a week or so ago.

The rig and pouches all come from two tactical gear companies who have some of the best reps in the business for durability. If the nylon does break, then I'll sew it back up, that's what a sew kit is for. If a buckle breaks, I'm 100% sure the CQ will have replacement parts for the TV that will...

I think I quite adequately responded to Infanteer's comments actually. Though if he disagress I'm sure he'll tell me. My comment on whether or not you are in the combat arms is due to your comment about how my viewpoint that the purpose of armies is to kill people and break things somehow makes...

Interesting comments. Infanteer, I am in 100% agreement with you. My rant was of course my personal feelings on the matter, and when I swear an oath as either an enlisted man or officer I have sworn to follow the orders of those above me as a matter of course. My point overall was not limited to...

No worries mate.

Scm77, right now I'm a civilian. I'm currently very heavily debating whether to join back up as an officer. I am quite close to making the decision to go ahead and do it. That being said, there are a few other issues here. This rig, along with my ruck, I didn't make for the army. I do work in...
