Actually what Constantine heard was "In hoc signo vinces" which really means "In this sign thou shall win". Not conquer.

An american president is to be addressed as "Mr. President" even if he is out of office, love of titles?

02:30 I find there are too many hand position changes and the bolt grip is not to be grabbed like that, it is to be fingered lightly.

Saw it on telly live, gave goose pimples then, still does now.

It was a warm day here in Switzerland.

Have seen many of the cadets in Nijmegen during the years, nice bunch and must say I always try to help if possible, see you next July in Nijmegen.

@Mattis659 Perfectly right, saw the film on it's fourth opening night at the Odeon in Leicester Square in London in 1968.

When I saw this scene, actually only last night, it struck some memory but had to go and dig out the LP I have of the score to be sure.

I have searched on the web but seem to be unable to trace the actual builder if any are left for this vehicle.

In the 1920s SIG of Switzerland produced a 20 mm antitank rifle.

The thing weighed 70 kg and had a forecast range of 600 metres.

We shot the thing once to find out that it was full auto and before the guy realised this he had let 3 rounds off, the grouping at 300 metres was less than 4 inches.

This is a Battallion level transmission command vehicle of the Swiss Army, used to drive the 6x6 during my military days.

@m52spy I think the base is that all are proud of local capacity, we for instance are happy about the Contraves technology although there are those who do point out the german property by Rheinmetall.

@cop2296 I think you might me a tad out of date with your comment, since the Italian Army has gone professional a few years ago they regularly provide good trained and equipped troops for missions a bit all over the place.

Belle interprétation, âme et élan nous confirment que vous croyez à ce que vous faites, Joyeux Noel de Lugano, Suisse.

The traditional shooting position for the Parabellum has the arm bent with the pistol nearer to the eye.

The bend should be in the 90° range.

I actually prefer the two hand hold even at 50 metres.

@De22Lano I see Korps Mariniers every year in Nijmegen, join them.

Was a lad then, saw the funeral on television here in Switzerland.

Pure io sono svizzero e lo trovo divertente.

Sulla patente non siamo così ma se pensate che abbiamo aumentato la trattenuta per la pensione mediante votazione popolare.

Still have the 45 single in my drawer.

@startrekwarsmixguy Sorry, I saw the "it sounds like" part of your comment.

Cheers from Switzerland

You can't nick all that's in the back, try grabbing the firewood sack and run, you'll never get far.

Saw one of these things swing around and hit a post in Houston a short time ago, that's when I first heard that they have only back wheel drive, absolute folly.

It was know as Mahagoni Flöte, the Mahogany Flute, by the troops who used it, my Grandfather was one of those in 1915.

I must admit I never use the word gay to indicate homosexuals, maybe because I grew up with word gay indicating happy, carefree and joyful and not homosexual, for which there is a word in English.

Rispondi a questo video... That's exactly what I thought when I saw the video of the guy twiddling the sights.

What is the rule for the clicking of heels?

I was convinced that each army had a rule by which one either hit with the left or right foot but this remained the beating foot.

Now I see that the heels are beaten bringing either left or right foot.

What is the unit represented by the gentleman in bearskin at 00:35?

Did the same in my NCO school.

4 rounds, I was shattered at the end but set the best time.

It is more of a betting thing, nothing to do with actual military abilities.

June 1980 in Airolo, mountain infantry school, Switzerland.

We use it to slow down speed when in Nijmegen, Swiss Army contingent.

I always find it nice to see the Old Mariniers in Nijmegen and the greeting they get from the onlookers.

Ricordo questo film durante la mia SR a Coira nel 1979, SR Fant Mont 212.

The pull technique taught at infantry schools in Switzerland was a little different, the fact of gripping the handle made you loose time and position, better is to pull the bolt with a upwards rotation of wrist keeping hand open and pulling with fingers practically straight, the pushing is done b...

@gdawn6812 Interesting how the only comment you can formulate is of such nature, not about the content, not about the story but only connected to his sexual preferences.

A bit limited, don't you think?

Problem is that some people, like you, will put you in a box or category.

Which box do you come...

@Ex0core Mine clearing of some sort, also seems to have magnetic mine exploding devices on outer arms.

I wan not aware that in the 1400s they had primer nipples.

I like the idea that history reality was turned over by special interest groups in the US, the bank secrecy system was created to protect jewish germans from getting their money take away by the friendly government of Germany at the time.
