  And replies like this one is why it needs to change.

  Actually not to pick fly **** out of pepper, but just because it is comd det does'nt mean it's NOT a mine.  Case and point, the off route mine the C14, is comd det and it is in all ways classified as a mine.

 This thread is getting nasty!  To get to the original question, we are in fact in Afghanistan as part of a collective self-defence.  Following the terrorist attacks against the United States, on 2 October 2001 NATO declared that because it had determined that the attacks against the United...

  If your talking about the basic charge on the HA it's been there since the beginning.  If not then ignore.

  You will have your UER (unit employment record) started at this stage in your career as well.  Which will follow you throughout your career.  out!

  No he is with 4 ESR.  Your thinking of another Maynard who is with 2CER.  To compare the two physically would'nt be fair. 

Do you know what the STANAG even states.   We are adhearing to it just like any other country, and accomplishing its aim.   Second point I don't know if you realize this but the Engineers are volunter so if you don't want to do it, it's simple OT!   Yes we are behind the 8 ball but it's better...

  Well it's simple in today's army CFSTG won't accept two schools under it's control to run two course's that are the same (if you want to get into TP's) under its training regime.  Duplicating course's is a waste of money and there all over that.  Now I do agree with the HA being a better...

HA just has an intro to the tools associated with dispossal into IED's.  The school can't get because they don't teach IEDD.  So if you don't teach it, you don't get it.  Basically an entitlement issue.  Also if the school were to teach essentially the same course as the HA, it would be...

  Just a little mistake, it's "Improvised Explosive Device Disposal"  (IEDD) sorry about that, been a long day.

  First off, the "HC" course is a course which teaches about Improvised Explosives Devices (IED's).  Now to respond to AEH's statement.  It is a fact that more Engineer's are failing than any other trade, that goes without mention as the EOD conference that was held back a little while ago...

  There is something about the HC crse that makes it particularily harder, for some reason,   for Engineers to pass.   Any suggestions or facts?   Is it that we have our way of doing things that we find it hard to do it "their" way?   Or is it just the Enigineers are sending pers who should'nt...

  Well being an instructor at the school of Military Engineering and teaching DP2 crses, like the one your about to find yourself on, don't worry.  If you show that you have the heart and the drive, your good to go.  It's the one's who arrive, and it does'nt matter from where, who think they...

  Well you made me laugh, at when you said "cam my gut."  There's a saying "if you can't clean it cam it!"   Responding to your last sentence, I personally think it matters that we as the CF portray a physically fit rapport with the visually stricken society that we represent.  I will say as a...

 Let me add to what I have already mentioned of which should go without me saying is an opinion.  The BMI is a good indicator, but it's just that, yes I too have seen some seriously in shape troops that were over the BMI level and were told to lose weight.  Ths is a crime.  So with the BMI...

 I hear alot of blah blah blah, but in the end, and of which alot of you "harder types" have already mentioned we need to move on and stop trying to make this army of the people a "reflection" of the people.  If you have been reading the news we are as a country getting fatter every year.  So...

1.    French Army, digging a trench under fire was known as "driving a sap" and the men who did this were known as "sapeurs."  Thus, the term "sappers" became associated with engineers.

So does anyone know when or what the scale of issue is on this new bayonet?
