No, that is what I found, so where might I acquire one. No worries, No hurries, just curious.

Through One

Hi guys! Here is my collection of СF issue items

http://a_sti.users.photofile.ru/phot.../109202907.jpg
http://a_sti.users.photofile.ru/phot.../111244766.jpg

We plan on doing another run of them, but don't have a time frame.

Uh oh....

FWIW, it looks like he's got a generic no-name slip-on.

Seen.

For his sake I hope he doesn't post pics of him wearing the beret. ;)

Personally I have no problem with someone in Russia "portraying" a Cdn soldier in fact I think it's down right awesome. He's not trying to say he's a Patricia so I have no issues with it. It's the long haired dope smoking friend of jesus tree hugger I see downtown slumming it up on the corner with his posse begging for change and cigarettes I want to put my foot through.

The roasting they got was nothing less than infernal.

Ah Kapral and his bunch of idiot fellows...

As for the beret, it could be a collectable item, no one can be sure but hey he's not wearing it in his pic... I know I have Royal Marines and Para beret that I sometimes put into pictures but never on myself.

But I see where you're coming from, it's always better to make sure and educate people rather than having posers all over.

It seems you were right then... Must be somehting in the water over there that makes them want to wear all sorts of badges and berets

I know the guy personally, putting a Sgt rank tab on is a big demotion for him. I believe he'd outrank most of the CF members present on this forum (but then the guys who're high up in signals probably wouldn't be posting their service records here). Also from what I've seen here most of the guys who are open about their CF/Navy roots are usually not active PPCLI/JTF members but rather are in a less intriguing trades/units; and almost all never saw combat, unlike some "eastern-european airsofters" who are in teams modeling foreign army units.

I understand what you're getting at with your background tho, but I'd be more pissed at the local players wearing PPCLI insignia to the games than overseas ones -- as the latter do not pretend to have ever been members of CF.

Thanks CTAC;)

Thank you for your comments, but I'll disagree with some of your statements.

Regarding the field use, I'd totally agree with your if we were talking about CF contingent in A-stan, as I follow updates on combatcamera, threads on milnet.ca and in general have additional sources of information on kit used by CF in the field. I realize that some CF issue kit does not fit the modern requirements (4 mags in a modern issue vest is laughable in combat). As can be seen from my photos, not a single item is in Arid Cadpat and I'm not going after the impression of the A-stan located servicemen, but rather ones located in Canada.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, while on training exercises in Canada CF members mostly use CF-issue kit, including Tac Vest, small pack and gloves. Also, what is drastically different among russian airsofters is that non-issue kit is frowned upon if you're modelling a certain unit.

I can link/post many photos of the CF soldiers in both Canada and A-stan wearing an empty bayonet sheath, rank tab on the tac vest, etc. I'm guessing different units might have different levels of regulation enforcement on that. Many (not just CF) soldiers are getting rid of all unnecessary load/kit/insignia in the field or when going into combat, but it's an airsoft and other issues matter here.

In addition, I do not wear the beret to the games, the photos you're referred to are of the Ukranian team and I live in Russia.

As far as PPCLI badge goes, I know that players from other countries wear insignia of many elite Russian special ops units (and Canada is not an exception in that). Trust me, members of those elite russian units are nothing more than ironic about it. After all it's an airsoft, take it easy. :)

question for some of the folks that are in the know figured this was the best place to get your attention

is there currently a possibility for deployments overseas other than Afghanistan? the DND website says that there is currently ops in Cyprus and Congo and a bunch of other places but it doesn't give detail as to who can go where

though actually i might have missed that my apologies if that happens to be the case

now that im finally eligble to apply (after a long and tedious clusterfuck of correspondence schools) im hoping to join one of the local reserve infantry units (if that helps any) in the new year and was curious if i will have a wide variety of options for deployment or if everything is focused on Afghanistan right now

just one of those late night questions that came outta nowhere

and sorry if my question is hard to understand im a little burnt out right now from a math exam

thank you to anyone that can help me.
Bowers

Sudan(?). Just going by what an Int O hinted at.

ha good luck getting those
unless you're a captain that knows how to put things in their mouth, you ain't getting tours like that

Yeah, unless the operation is all over the news, you won't wrangle yourself the tour unless you've got a couple bars.

Btw yeoman, you here yet?

I'm just wondering if somebody CF/Ex-CF can resolve this for me.

In this picture that was posted earlier:

http://a_sti.users.photofile.ru/phot.../110357401.jpg

The rank embroidery is in gold thread, which concurs with what I see here: http://mpmuseum.org/securank2.html

Yet in all my time interacting with army personnel in CADPAT in LFCA, I have never seen gold embroidery. Just black on CADPAT slipons. Was it a trial thing? Was it phased out? Did it never exist, and the site is inaccurate?

Thanks.

Eh? The rank slipon that Pretoria is wearing is olive drab on CADPAT, which is standard for all army pers. If you're seeing black on CADPAT you're just looking at navy pers.

My bad, my memory seems to be failing me on the black and olive. But his slipon just.. stands out more than I remember.

I think the reason it stands out so much is that it looks new. Once you wash the things they get faded pretty quick.

With that, the Air Force and Navy opted to wear OD epaulets with service-specific thread - as one Air Force member stated to me, "we are not the army".

OD epaulets with black thread are for Navy personnel, while OD epaulets with blue thread are for Air Force personnel. It's also for that same reason that they wear OD nametapes with their service emblem (anchor for Navy, bird for Air Force) on the right while army personnel wear their crossed swords on the left.

must not have worded it properly its not a matter of not wanting to go to afghanistan i will go wherever i can i was just curious if there was a wide variety of different places i could go to at the moment

growing up in a small farm town that consists of one road and a gas station kinda makes ya wanna travel alot lol

cheers
bowers

alrighty well thanks for the feedback skeletor and everyone else too.

Here's a shot from a recent big game we had in winnipeg last weekend.

We were cadpat team. Tied for first place with tan team :) got a team shot after game,

C7A1 WIP

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...9/DSC_0021.jpg

That it is. Mounted onto a nut inside the grip.

can you tell me what you're using to wrap around your handguard?

It's velcro straps that I grabbed off of a stock pouch from CPGear. Spur of the moment, probably will change it to a rubber band later.

This is the joys is being QM and cleaning out cages from the RQ ;) we had a dozen old tool cages come down, and I guess a couple were from the vault because they were packed with spare parts for .50 cal, C7, C9 and Carl G. All the Carl G and .50 stuff went into our vault, but we had no use for the C7 and C9 bits so they're in my locker to 'make use of'.

And the band is just keeping the grips tight. The Triad pinches them at the front and the bulge on the side...

Got some of my spare kit tailored ;)

And velcro sewn onto the pocket flap.

Lerch, you would wouldnt you.

lol

~Grimm

Here is a listing of the current operations Canada is involved in: Link

Do..do you really want me..to post another picture? :D

Hey lerch I can see you not working. Well I cant right now but I will be able to in 12 hours :P

Go to hell! I'm gonna lock the doors so you can't watch me!

ps. thanks for letting me know that was you...I thought some random mod had tracked me down and stalked me and decided to mindfuck me by running into the canteen and declaring their love for me...

No I was planning on screwing with you for the longest time. However I got lazy and didnt feel like making an account. If you try and lock the door its easy to open with a knife :P

...creepy...

Anyway;
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../DSC_00242.jpg

going to put money that if you every actually use those pockets, you won't like em.
i used em, and didn't.
seem them to the place i got my pouches redone on, and had them turned to the velcro was on the side instead.
way easier, and yes, it's still secure that way.

I am glad to find your site - now I know what a good one looks like.
Very good topic to share with us. Great info.

BTW, try jacket over armor, way more comfortable...

I know, I normally just wear the armour over my shirt and then a jacket overtop. This was just for illustration.

KK, thought so, but figure I'd point it out anyways...

Finally done!

I see a MICH helmet!

But don't worry, I'd wear one if I could...

I think mine are in a kitbag...hmm... :p

I saw someone use it on there boonie and helmet and they looked absolutely silly.

See...I want one of those...too bad I don't have any admin time to go harass supply.

want what?
camelback?
at one point i had two issued to me *shrug*
luckily, i know how to get more mwahahahaha

my warrant uses it on his helmet and..... yeah....

I was about to say, the only thing I ever heard anyone use the neck cover for was combat TP. Hell, in a pinch, one could sacrifice his combat undershirt sleeves for replacement shit tickets (true personal story).

I used to use my Boonie neck cover as a spot to put my rifle parts when I was cleaning it in the field... now I'm considering making it into a sleeve pocket or something...

I usually just use my soft hat itself when I clean weapons.

Adding to the emergency shit ticket items though, sandtraps from your trousers :) buddy of mine did it on our ADATS course when we were in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
Comes running up to me asking if I had paper cuz our gun box was empty of bog rolls, I told him to use a leaf...we're in a field by the way...and just gives a 'wtf?!' expression and then runs away over a hill. Ten minutes later he I see him walking back with one pant leg unbloused...

There's one guy in my regiment that has no shirts with the sleeves on em cuz he used em all for shits in the field... I've definately seen guys use the sandtraps though... I once knew a guy who used the inside pocket of the bottom tunic pocket as a shit ticket.

This is a part of my kit:

What I dislike about BlackOps is that they make poor quality cheap holsters that everyone seems to purchase. And they use very poor quality velcro.

There's a couple different uniforms they've gone through. One being the blue combats, but there's some getting tan combats and possibly flightsuits aswell.

holy keeners this thread is huge from last time i saw it! 90% of it is lerch in his arty gich

I've seen CivPol in Tan flight suits. Nice gear!

I can't remember where I saw them, but there was a couple of pics of RCMP drug bust dude's wearing multicam in Astan. I will see if I can dig them up.

And there is a US DEA vid floating on YouTube where you see a dude in Cadpat AR with RCMP (barely able to make out let alone confirm) patch on his arm while they where in a chopper.

Almost 100% sure they where, but I do agree with you, does sound more like US DEA.

[QUOTE) Do you remember the name of the video? I've seen a couple DEA vids but don't remember seeing RCMP. Dunno why RCMP would be working with DEA.. didn't think RCMP was part of the Narcotics Task Force.[/QUOTE]

YouTube - DEA on the hunt for Afghan drugs created by the US itself !!

Pretty sure it was in this video, I know at 1:39 you see a dude in Cadpat, but right now I'm working off of my tiny netbook and can't really see great details. 2:06 I think is RCMP as well.

2:34 has a dude wearing AR, a MICH 2000 and what I guess is a RAV... JTF2 maybe? I have no idea

2:46 is also a Canadian, but has a uber 1337 ginger beard, so hard to tell who he works for.

Where any CF soldiers (other then CANSOFCOM) ever attached to NTF?

Sweet, thanks for the info. In any case, gonna grab some Khaki BDU's for a "RCMP in Afghanistan" look for summer months. (Lerch my modding of an AR top failed hard btw =( )

Negative on CF involvement with NTF.

Yeah, check my post in the first page of Reference Pics in the Canadian section.

http://www.comfec-cefcom.forces.gc.c...9-B050-71a.jpg

Not sure...

RCMP. That's the same combat shirt I saw at Peerless Garments here in Winnipeg. The design is a direct copy to the current issue CADPAT combat shirt, except that it is solid tan rather than any sort of camouflage. The patch is a dark background, Canadian flag with "POLICE" underneath it, exactly as pictured in the photo.

Nice find, didn't know if there were any pics out there of the Mounties at work in Afghaniland.

Edit: Dude on the right is CF Military Police, if I'm not mistaken. Looks like a SIG Sauer P225 in a Safariland 6004 holster.

-Skeletor-, Lerch,
Thank you very much for identifying these non-issue vests for me!

Here's the picture I was talking about. Mike is right, you can clearly see the top and bottom, not a flight suit.

http://www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca...catalog=photos

Army Issue has some of the tan cf pants in the store, if you're looking.

Were you doing the same thing I did? Send it to me and I'll get it done for ya if it's not fubar.

Got my BFT on Friday and going to Suffield next month, so I figured I'd repack my ruck...still my favorite piece of kit.

I'm gonna check out grabbing a new mat when I stop at Wheeler's this weekend.

My best bud grabbed one of those jump rucksacks for his CAP this summer. Wore it for a 15km sack march and fooking love it. (Though I am Navy, so will never touch one after I grad and get my commission =D)

The shirt is FUBAR, I gave up on it after like three hours of cursing at my sewing machine this weekend. Gonna use the material for modding a Tan flight suit

lol, well, I enjoy my bulging biceps and rock hard abs (well, not so much the abs, I enjoy beer to much lol)

I'm only staying MARS until a new certain CANSOFCOM unit starts raising from the rest of the CF. Plus I've got it set in my mind that I wanna do boarding party, so gonna keep hitting the gym even tho I am supposed to be gaining a nice beer belly.

Don't hold your breath.
However, if you go go somewhere purple, be sure to recruit five guys for the navy on your way out.

lol, already been pimping the navy for a year now. Gotta raise the numbers so I can slip out unnoticed =)

Knowing how things work for navy officers, I'm not expecting to see CMCR Tan until I'm like a Subby or Lt. and like 28 years old, outta my prime =/

I just cried a little inside.

lol, well I will be... 22 by the time I'm a Acting SubLt, 23 for Sub LT, 27 ish for Lt.... so yea, pretty close. Still mighty young, but lol...

all this is is the old style combats like are od one except they are retro fitted with pockets and a rcmp patch is sewn on the top

saw lots of em on my tour with the omlt pomlt use to come on patrol with us quite often , but most of the police were municipal police from toronto









QUOTE=CanuckKwan;1082018]different picture/angle, but that's actually the guy I saw in the picture that gave me the idea. I guess I thought it was a flight suit 'cause I didn't see his shirt bloused over the pants, but civpol usually tuck them in anyways, right?

guess I should keep my eyes out for some decent cheap tan combats. hard to find flightsuits in my size anyways, lol...[/QUOTE]

My rifle;

RQMS Bin Truck, so it has the cage superstructure under the cover. Very nice and fast, and I think one of the few vehicles to come back without any damage :p

Funny story, I was in that shitter about 30 minutes prior, just hoping that I wasn't going to fall face down with a load on my back...it also fell door down...

Lerch, may I ask exactly what is it you do in the Military? Like your 'job tittle' of sorts.
Weapons tech/vehicle tech etc.. etc.. (those are the only 2 I know off the top of my head)

I know I'm probably missing a whole lot, but it sounds really cool whatever it is you do lol

Not that this means anything for Mounties overseas, but I understand that at least some of the Emergency Response Teams use multicam; perhaps a member serving in A-stan used some of his ERT gear?

Actually I remeber it was a manhunt by the RCMP, and they came by a field near Toronto or Ottawa, I'm not sure, where there was an airsoft game. Some of these ERT guys had Multicam (others were in black). There was a video posted here of that event, it would just need some reserach on the forums.

So as much as there was ERT guys in Multicam here, why couldn't they also be wearing it overseas? I don't think DEA has exlusivity on it at all.

However, all pics I've seen of RCMP in A-stan had tan flightsuits.

Honestly I have no idea what my actual title is anymore (combat storesman?!), I'm currently sitting under Support Troop at 4AD (the AD standing for Air Defense), and have a desk in the BQMS. So during normal work hours I do the QM thing, which is issueing kit and weapons, and preparing packages for field exercises.
That said, when 4AD does go into the field either locally or out of region my duty is driving the bin truck (the ML above) and delivering equipment to the troops.

The position I'm in now is just a progression of different courses and pure luck ;)

Very cool! (and different hehe)

Ideally, I'd love to do just that. Issue the kit or work with it in some manner.
Sorta like a weapons tech plays with the weapons I guess hahaha.

Or there's option #1 (possibly #2?) Weapons tech, once I get around to applying.

qm hua baby
i close within and issue kit in any weather, day or night, or terrain

Lets not kid our selves here Lerch... we all know you dont have a job... you are just a guy who fills a hole lol

That's it! I want back the dozen cots and air mattresses I got for you!

That's him, we were posted to 1 Horse last winter and he was clearing in just as I was clearing out to come back here.

He also made Master when he got there.

Haha he used to work in the sigs shop where I am now.
