Basically yeah. We just name em different though. Platoon = Troop, Company = Squadron. 4 tanks per troop, 3 fighting troops per squadron, plus the HQ troop and Admin troop. Armoured guys lower ranked than Corporal are all called Trooper. (same way Artillery: Gunner, Engineers: Sapper)

Rifle is British made, but that's a German pattern camo they are wearing. - Comment on blue bullets (2011-03-16 17:27:55)
No. Blue is NATO standard for training rounds. Like Olaf and Synthetics said already. They are ballistically equivalent to the 'live' or 'service' rounds, but without the explosive charge in them. Used for wooden targets on the ranges. Why some civi company would paint their little bullets blue in blatant disregard for that standard is beyond me. Mind you a blue sabot dart will pretty much fuck up your day just as bad as a black one will. Canuck tanker here; I had a hell of a good time in Munster, Germany getting qualified on the Leo 2 recently. Also the Reeperbahn in Hamburg... spent a whole paycheck in one weekend there. - Comment on A Very Pretty Young Lady.... (2011-02-19 13:36:12)
Uh yeah, this. Posting pictures of someone else, who you "haven't seen in quite a while" on a public site, obviously without her permission.... Creep. Also, there's a sort of sad desperation in her smile. - Comment on Tankmen (2011-02-19 06:40:05)
Oh damn, I am totally stencilling this onto the sideskirts of my own tank. Pics to follow. Wait out. - Comment on Hit Monkey (2011-02-18 19:03:10)
Reminds me of the Dmitri-9 from The Filth - Comment on Anarchy in Black (2011-02-13 17:03:18)
Good point. Traditional might be more appropriate. - Comment on Anarchy in Black (2011-02-09 23:18:03)
Anarchy is usually in black. Sort of an official color. This/that is kind of like saying "Communism in red." - Comment on Gotham High (2011-02-09 20:55:18)
There are many great modern stories that have benefited and bemused our imaginations through the telling of Whatif's and alternate reality versions, such as the story's setting being placed far in the future, or way in a medieval past. But of all the possibilities; High School is just stupid. Please don't take a giant steaming shit on Batman like this. Please. The only thing worse that this would be Gotham Babies. Ugh.

This is ridiculously gay. - Comment on True terror (2011-01-25 19:22:01)
that must come in handy a lot of times. - Comment on Queequeg (2011-01-18 02:21:01)
poetic justice, not irony - Comment on Cross Joint (2011-01-07 21:44:14)
It's the cut off 'glue strip' from another rolling paper you imbecile. - Comment on Cross Joint (2011-01-07 21:41:20)
Man, I first smoked one of these back in 2002. Took a couple tries to get it right, but then my buddy one upped it by adding a second slightly smaller cross joint further up making the Archbishop cross. They were only really good for impressing stoner chicks at parties tho. Also the alternate version, which is lit at only two ends, and co-smoked with a lady - Comment on Death Cap?
