Thanks for the input. It is appreciated, although it doesn't make it any easier to have to withdraw :( I'm not scheduled for surgery yet, it takes a while to get to see the orthopedic surgeon which sucks because I want it to be healed yesterday :) But he can still write one saying what he...

Okay so here is a little bit of background on the situation. I am only in the reserves not the reg force and I am 26. I was doing my SQ ("bmq land") in May/June (may 26-june 26) at Meaford. I injured my knee pretty bad durning the second week but toughed it out for the rest of the training...

I passed the RPAT with a 4.4/5 and have been selected to move on. I'm done filling out all of the papers and am ready to send them in. My question is in regards to colour vision. On the forms it says you need to pass the Farnsworth 15D or you do not meet the vision standards. My vision is...

Yes, I was on BMQ and my friend was 2nd summer of IAP or some other officer training, I can't remember what exactly. After the 5th week (4th weekend is ottawa, and cemetary) we pretty much got free reign of the base, if we had the time. We sorta got a little screwed over because on the first...

Why wouldn't they be allowed to use that wall? I used it, I had my friend who was there on an officer course take out the required gear, because you need to be certified or something he said. And then we climbed our lil hearts out. After week 5, assuming your not screw ups you can pretty much do...

Mp3 players arnt allowed? It didnt say anything about them not being allowed and on one of the basic up video's or one of the other videos about basic training it showed a recruit listening to one while cleaning is weapon.

Hmm, i bought some extra stuff to help with the cleaning but i have 2 semi big duffle bags, and my backpack but thats pretty much empty. The backpack is more for stuff that i would like at hand during the trip there and for weekends off to carry stuff. For some reason it seems like i have too...

You managed to fit everything, including 4 pairs of shoes into one bag?

For the guys leaving on the 4th, what else did you pack aside from the listed articles to bring? Did you bring extra clothes to wear for once we are able to leave base, mp3 player, heat rubs,  etc etc...

oh dont be such wipes, just go out :) You guys get to actually "sleep in", the train from windsor leaves at freaking 6am, and it said to be there at five. Now that sucks, lol.

i actually like the idea from the beav, slowest one has to pay. If I didn't have 2 HEAVY bags to carry i could really see myself doing that, lol.

Since a few of us are gonna be on the same train, i have an "exciting" way to pay for the cab. What we can do is group together and we all do paper rock sicissor and the odd one out has to pay, i think that would make it a lil bit funner. We'd get reimburst any way so it doesn't really even matter.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, its coming so fast... Only 5 full days before we leave, does that not scare anyone else?

Mike, what car? Are you going first class too?

Im sure most of us swore in today, so its time to find out how others are getting there. I will be leaving from windsor at 6am on via train 70, in the first car. Anyone else gonna be getting on that train? I was also told we can bring laptops and use them after 6... is anyone bringing a laptop...
