I'm pretty sure they just burned all our forms so the Gagetown tainted lovely paperwork infects the rest of the countries. Word is all payouts will be done by end May. 65% or some poo poo done so far.

When I was overseas we had a few guys who were issued pistols that were basically brand new. They had the new mags, and they were essentially unfired. They worked great.

There is nothing wrong with the Browning Hi Power as a pistol, its a browning design and John Moses Browning was a wizard. A Gun Wizard. Though I don't like mag safeties. The ones in general circulation are literally WW2 vintage and are simply worn out. They need replacement.

Oh yeah, definitely. The ones we had at our units that we qualified on were rattletraps. They should pull some of the 30k pistols we have in war stocks out and replace them instead of only issuing them for deployments. The recent attempt to solicit bids for a replacement was ridiculous too. Dammit just buy an OTS pistol and have it contracted to Colt Canada. We don't need a loving ~*~*special snowflake*~*~ pistol. There are lots of great pistol designs out there already and our contract isn't big enough for a company to waste millions of dollars in R&D just to hand the TDP over to Colt Canada.

I don't get it. The Navy and the MPs already use the Sig Sauer P228 and they all love the drat thing. Just buy that. Buy more of those. We use them already. They work. We have it in the supply chain. Army: LOL NOPE LET'S SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE WE HAVE UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS LIKE SHOOTING BULLETS.

Eh, I didn't mind the tacvest. If they added a second row of mag pouches to the front of the existing ones but a touch lower, it'd be perfect.

Could someone tall go hang the zero on the "Days since someone was accused of fondling children in the Qs" sign for us? A guy in Uplands got picked up for that today. That's the third alleged sexual deviate they've pulled out of that place in recent memory.

Some sigs (? Christ I've only been out for a few years and I'm already forgetting this poo poo) guy probably fresh out of training giving lengthy rundowns on how to pack your rucksack, form your beret, cam up, and the merits of the 'tact' vest (not to be confused with 'attack vest').

Seriously. I had to get mine from the CFMPA kit shop because the issued ones I could pull completely over my head to about my collarbone. It looked like I'd killed an elephant and was proudly wearing its tongue on my head as a trophy.

Getting one or two size smaller and stretching it so it fit on my head seem to be the best way for me not to have it touch my ear.

Last couple I ordered from Logistik (around 2010) were really tiny, the sort that barely manages to cover a bald spot at the back of the head. If you didn't cut out the lining there wouldn't be enough material to flop over and it'd just stick out sideways from your head. I think it's hilarious. Haven't worn one in probably well over a year though.

Was it cadpat or a solid colour? Also how does that work for those guys in the field? If you'd be able to not wear your helmet in the field I would've became a Sikh.
