All trades...includes cat 1...not just support (cat 2). If you are unclear or have q's call the number on the canforgen. They are more than willing to answer whatever questions you may have.

My SM had spoken with the SM in Pet, and yes there is a push to get more Navy and Air in the regiment, but the course is not being loaded for just those two elements. My army friends that have applied have been told that their files are being held until they figure out who is going where. Most...

Just to throw this one out there, but who do you think were their major clients? The trafficking is obviously a huge problem, and so those caught doing it should be severely reprimanded (released). I don't know about you but when I signed up the policy was 0 tolerance WRT drugs. So why are we...

First off great work on actually working towards a goal, and being proactive about your upcoming course. You would be quite surprised at how many people show up for BMQ/IAP/BOTP well below the standard required. As said earlier, if you can meet the standards, don't worry too much about the...

Thanks

Maybe someone out there can help me out. I am trying to find the old rucksack that you army guys used to use. From my understanding it is way more comfortable and practical. (The paratroopers used to use them) I am trying to find one, but I don't know the official name. A NSN number would be a...

I have a couple of things to say to all of you proud enough and brave enough to venture out to this new "life". After the first day of BMQ, you will never be the same, you will have the honour to experience things that your 'civilian' counterparts will never experience, you will have the right...

From what I read on the canforgen, the pay adjustment (retro pay included) should be in by mid December pay.

Now that this one is taken care of...has anyone heard anything on the new PLD rates?

Not sure if this one has been thrown out there yet or not, if it has ignore it. If not take heed. To bring up cardio, you need to focus on interval training. One easy way of doing this is to jog for a period of time, and then sprint a short distance as hard as you can. Then a slow to med jog...

Hey, I am in the same boat, just got back from the field, and have to do my PT Test next week, not alot of time for training. I have a buddy who was on the first course that went through. He said that you really have to emphasize on the ruck marches. I spoke with the CSOR guys when they were...

I heard that the upcoming CSOR course is possibly being post-poned. Apparently Ottawa is thinking of re-evaluating the 'role' of CSOR. Has anyone else heard anything to this extent?
