Now, is it just me or is it hilarious that her name is Raghad?

She deserves the same as her old man and brothers.



On a side note - MILES gear was a new toy when I was at the Stumps.

Yeah, it's been through two iterations since it came out, and about to completely change again. Lots of complaints about the first gen, with the keys, many about the second gen that got set off by the sun, flourescent lights, etc; virtually zero now with the current gen.

Raghad? Really? :roflmao:

re:Miles Gear
Can you still "shoot" somebody with it, without pulling the trigger? I remember being able to tap the little "mic" on the front with your finger and "fire a shot" so to speak. Good fun sitting behind my 60 and watching it happen :dunno: to the guys setting up the concertina wire out front (defensive positioning).

Not that I'm aware of, although I might have to try that now...

Yup you can also shave a key to make it a god key. Miles gear sucks.

Before MILES gear we use to have battles at night using the searchlights on our tanks as 'ammo'. Our tank had a distinct advantage as we were the only tank in the Battalion with passive night sights. Everyone else had IR.

Fixed it for ya. It actually works pretty good now. The keys are gone, the sensitivity has been fixed, and their making a new version soon that will replace every piece of gear involved for new better stuff.

So, what they're saying, in a nutshell, is,"Some raghead in Jordan is involved in terrorism." Why is this news?

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll be willing to bet the Jordanian authorities won't turn her over to the Iraqis no matter what they say or what is in the issued warrant. Call it a hunch.

The MILES gear wasn't so bad. Definitely not perfect, but as a training aid, it was OK. To be honest, the occasional false "positive" isn't bad in a training scenario anyway. After all, a slice of mortar/artillery/bomb case will kill you just as dead as a bullet, and the guy who sent it down range wasn't aiming at you.
