This is the Army & Navy, a classic cocktail that was first published in David A. Embury's 1948 book "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks". It's not clear who created the drink, but Embury does note that he changed the original formula to include more gin and the addition of bitters. This drink belongs to the family of "gin sour" drinks like the Southside or the Bee's Knees. These gin sours have a very classic quality to them because they allow different expressions of gin to strongly interact in interesting ways with the rest of the ingredients. In this case, the orgeat has a nutty and somewhat creamy quality to it as well as some flowery aromas (depending the brand or homemade recipe used). Depending on your preference, a flowery gin paired with this could feel like you're drinking alcoholic soap (or like heaven if that's your thing). The addition of Angostura bitters gives some nice depth and a bit of counter-weight against some flowery aspects of the orgeat. Overall, this is an elegant minimalist sour style drink for gin lovers or those curious about gin.
2 oz gin
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
0.75 oz orgeat (see note)
1-2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all of the ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice and shake vigorously until arctic cold. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. No garnish.
Note: Depending on your orgeat, you might want to lower the quantity to 0.5 oz and optionally add 0.25 oz of simple syrup. Orgeat varies a lot brand to brand. For Giffard's orgeat, I do this substitution.

A 30-round Magpul EMAG magazine.
Troops fighting in Afghanistan are now using new, lightweight see-through magazines for the SA80 rifle, further reducing the weight of their kit, the MOD announced today.
Made from a lightweight plastic, the 30-round Magpul EMAG magazine is around half the weight of a standard metal magazine, yet even more robust. More than 100,000 have already been delivered to troops on operations and in total over a million will be sent to Afghanistan under the four year, £13 million contract with Hereford-based distributors Level Peaks Associations.
A clear window in the magazine allows troops to easily monitor how much ammunition they have left, helping them ensure they have sufficient levels at critical points in battle.
The EMAG’s durability is further enhanced by an easily detachable cover to help protect against dust and sand while the magazine is being carried – meaning fewer need replacing.

Military members who attend the Common Army Phase II (CAP) training will build upon the leadership training you received in Phase I and develop the skills required of all Army officers, including more advanced weapons-handling, field-craft, and section-level tactics conducted at the Combat Training Centre in Gagetown, New Brunswick, or at Camp Aldershot. They are also introduced to CF operations in austere environments and to basic tactical planning and manœuvring. This aspect of training is physically and mentally challenging.

Mr Teo meeting members of the WLR team deployed in Tarin Kowt, Oruzgan.
Last week, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean visited Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) troops deployed in Afghanistan to get a first-hand feel of their operations in Oruzgan and Bamiyan province. He was accompanied by Chief of Army Major-General Neo Kian Hong and other senior SAF officers.
During the visit, Mr Teo met the SAF Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) team at their operating base in Tarin Kowt, the provincial capital of Oruzgan. Mr Teo was briefed on the WLR team's tasks and responsibilities by Team Commander MAJ Vincent Koh Han Seah, and visited the team at their deployment site. Mr Teo interacted with the SAF troops, who shared with him their operational experiences during the two months they had been there. Speaking to the 17-man WLR team, Mr Teo emphasised the important role that they were playing in Afghanistan and Singapore's overall contributions to international security operations. Mr Teo said: "I can see the tough and challenging conditions you operate under many miles from home. The SAF's deployments to Oruzgan and Bamiyan are important for the people of Afghanistan and are a part of Singapore's overall contribution to international security operations. I have full confidence that you will continue to do Singapore and the SAF proud in carrying out your duties vigilantly and professionally." The WLR team was deployed to Tarin Kowt in September this year to provide early warning of rocket attacks and enhance force protection measures for International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) personnel at the base. There will be a rotation of teams in January 2010 with the second team taking over till June 2010. While in Tarin Kowt, Mr Teo also visited the field hospital where a 20-man SAF medical team was deployed from November 2008 to May this year to provide emergency and trauma care and primary healthcare. The SAF will be deploying a medical and surgical team to this field hospital in Oruzgan in the coming months.
Mr Teo also visited the Winter Deployment Team (WDT) in Bamiyan led by Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Chan. The 3-man WDT, deployed in November 2009, serves as part of the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team, and works closely with the local government in the delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid donated by the SAF to the local populace. The WDT will be in Bamiyan till May next year. The WDT replaced a 6-man construction engineering team deployed to Bamiyan from April to October this year for 6-months, to supervise the construction of a Paediatric and Women's Ward extension for the Bamiyan Provincial Hospital, as well as a security wall around the Provincial Administrative Building.
The SAF has made deployments to Afghanistan since 2007 as part of Singapore's contributions to multinational stabilisation and reconstruction efforts there.

Visitors were invited to ring the Freedom Bell to honor a loved one in the military or pay tribute to the Armed Forces. The Freedom Bell was cast in bronze with steel from the twin towers as a symbol of support for America’s Armed Forces. Official emblems of each branch of the military circle the bell and it features the inscription, “HONORING OUR ARMED FORCES PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.”
