For all the talk of Gagetown being a must back in for every parking spot, you rarely see it enforced. J7, many of the shacks as well as the gym you see tons of cars drive straight into the spot and back out. The exception being any military vehicle, green or blue. I do know however the days of...

Congrats! I got my course date for late July, super quick!

How long are the reserve QL3s? All the ones that were listed were 6 months long. The list is supposed to be current as of February which is a decade in army planning time, so who knows. 

As a caveat of what I posted, only the June course had a FIN code attached to it so far. With all the fiscal restraint and cut backs going on, who knows what that will mean for courses and the training system. I know we are cutting back courses right now and its all about money.

What Madjai posted follows with what I saw on the CFMPA DIN site under course dates, one starting every monthish after the early June one. Which also follows what we were told on the March MPAC by the standards WO. "One starting in june then one every 6 weeks or so afterwards for awhile"...

Ok, sure I will call you on that. I've went to Kandahar twice, both times I saw and worked with MPs in the POMLT that were "living austere, trying to stay alive and live and work in a place that has no rules." Sitting back and disparaging the whole branches contributions to an operation, when...

Couple of the guys that were on my MPAC that I've kept in touch with were CTs. One guy got his offer and I think he is going on course fairly soon. All of us OTs seem to be waiting till late summer/fall for QL3 at the earliest.

3 of us got our messages this afternoon at my unit, myself included. Our unit OR forwarded it to the CSM of our respective companies who forwarded it to our supervisors.

Madjai for what its worth, I was on the one that ran early March. We had a guy that found out a day or two before that yes he was on it and going. They had to take him off ship to make it. Personally, I had 2 weeks or so. So it seems to vary. My  :2c:

Thats different, I see your at CTC Lightguns, they are issuing the new pants here in Gagetown in certain sizes. Maybe what you saw was the new pants.

Well looks like from the sounds of it, I was damn lucky to get my CADPAT raingear a few days before I went on tour. At the time I thought it was useless considering I didnt have it for work-up; but from what I've seen since I got back, very very few people in the batallion seem to have it.

I know on workup training after I did my BFT and basically had my heels turn into huge deep, exploded bleeding blisters, which also happened to other guys in my platoon wearing the Boulets, I switched. I ended up buying a pair of Amazon 4's and found those were like tennis shoes and worked...

From what is being passed around as gossip, nothing really official, but the word is at 2RCR that we are going as a BG in 2011. Watch and shoot on that one.

Tara Reid wasnt in Anchorman....:P

Yeah I know, i make that trip every workday ;)
