No worries from this end Jordan, I missed the post and I can understand how the heat of the moment may have prevailed.

Knowledge, who said anything about knowledge about this stuff, perhaps it is all BS...

Anyway, I guess as long as we all keep it in perspective that we are discussing old army junk things will be okay.

Cheers,

ED

I love it when everyone kisses and makes up.

Even before commissioning I wasn't into officer bashing just for the sake of doing it. I have run across good and bad officers and good and bad rankers. (Still have to meet a 'good' airman though

)

Gee, thanks..... so my 13 years as an infanteer doesn't count for anything? The dislike of the airforce is shared by many of us ex-army types who are currently wearing blue but it still stings a bit to hear it from those we respect..... No wonder I hate wearing my uniform in public....

Sorry Steve, that was a jab at Alex. A very good family friend was OC of the Skyhawks parachute team and had more jumps than anyone I knew. On top oif that he had been on the receiving end of unfriendly fire. He wears blue.
I also have a nephew and brother-in-law who wear blue and I respect them and ALL members of the CF, regardless of branch. Please wear your uniform with pride.

No need to apologize, I understand your intent. Guess I shared too much with that last uniform comment (which is true), otherwise I was joking as well.

I have to learn to use the graphics to get my intended tone across as it sounds okay in my head when I type it, but then if I read it again and say it out loud it sounds pretty bitter... sorry, I'll try harder. I can't afford to have everyone upset at me for stuff that I don't intend. Too many misunderstandings lately....

Clive, say it isn't so and didn't happen and never will. Please, please, because when you say that I get these visions of Alex. Can you imagine anyone kissing that puss?

Barry,
I hadn't thought of that and now will have to go and get an elective frontal lobotomy to permanently excise that image from my mind.

Despite all the bickering that was going on, I for one am glad that I now finally know:

1) what these are

2) why they would not fit my standard belt back in the days when I was playing soldier!

I guess I now have to find the matching yokes and pouches after buying this mismatched pair more than 30 years ago. . . .

Thanks,
Hanno
