Interesting to see the ANA carrying the old Canadian C7 rifle! When I was over, they only had AK's still. Canada supplied the ANA with our old C7's to get them down to the NATO standard 5.56 round.

Jordan11b · 04-09-2013, 08:48 AM

Yea the ANA now have the C7/M-16. ANP, and ABP still have the AK tho.

US Army from July 2001 to July 2005
11B Infantry stationed at Ft. Lewis WA
E-5 when I ETS

Deployed to Iraq in Nov 03 to Nov 04 with the first Stryker Brigade to ever deploy. After I got out of the military, I got a job training soldiers with the company that makes the Stryker vehicle. So its almost as if I've never left the Army since I train soldiers on weapons and other equipment on a daily basis for the past 7 1/2 years.

I'm the young kid kneeling. This was 02, we deployed with 2/75 Ranger Battalion to Roswell NM to do an airfield seizure. Pretty cool stuff.
