Great advice.Thanks a million.I will keep plugging away at it. :salute:

I have the similar problem as you do.I am in good shape.Can do lots of push ups,sit ups and can run forever.But I also have all my weight loitering around my midsection.It doesn't really slow me down,but what I have found works very well for fat burning,is running as soon as you wake up.And do...

Okay,I've searched this subject,and found lots of answers,but none that answer my specific question.While I was training during my application process.I worked hard on push ups,sit ups, and chin ups.But once I was sworn in,and in regiment,we are doing only pull ups. Now I can do 5 or 6 clean...

I agree.Sorry, I was in a rush. :salute:

As for when the weekend BMQ for BC will be starting up.I saw the coarse list on Wednesday night.And for the lower mainland, it runs from Jan 08-May 08.Unfortunately they don't have enought NCO's to run all the coarses.So they are running some leadership coarses first in the fall,then will start...

Thanks Noneck.Will do :salute:

Thanks NoNeck.Would you happen to know if I will be of any use to the regiment in the meantime?Will I be able to go on ex?I really want to start doing my part,and pulling my weight so to speak.But if I am useless to the regiment until I get BMQ,what will I be doing. Thanks :salute:

Thanks guys. Thats about all I get from the regiment too.The army seems to give them pretty short notice,and us even shorter.But hey,I'm ready anytime.Its like xmas eve. I can't wait to get going. Thanks for the info.

I've done a search and nothing came up.Has anybody heard if there will be a weekend BMQ and SQ in the lowermainland this fall.I am a Westie,and I recieved my letter with instructions for unit stand to.It listed only three coarses this fall for part time,driver wheeled,comms,and PLQ.But it did'nt...

Thanks alot,You'd think the recruiter would have told me straight up.But I appreciate the help. :salute:

Hey guys.......I need some info on training from some experienced members.I have joined the Vancouver based Seaforth Highlanders Infantry division.And whenever I ask the recruiter about my training options,he seems to go into some weird story.So here it is. If I choose the 20 day summer...
