    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Thanks. The wording of the joining instructions was not clear. I still would like to hear from people as to whether they feel it is better to try to bring everything on the personal items list, or simply buy it all at CANEX and only bring clothing.

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    The instructions suggest a choice between buying and bringing, but are not clear on the subject. I would rather not screw up and plan to buy something the CANEX does not sell. Similarly, my other questions are rooted in issues that were not completely clear. Yes, I can get by without asking, and...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Dead thread time again, I was going to ask the CFRC these questions, but I figure that lots of other people might wonder about the same things prior to leaving, and I have not been able to find the answers despite a fairly robust search. Some questions have been touched upon but the answers...

    SLT for summer of '08

    Thanks for the link to the list benny88, but as I said, I was given this information very recently. It seems to conflict with the list of trades thread. I figure one of several possibilities may exist, 1. The list of trades for SLT is pretty much bible, and I will not be doing SLT, but the CFRC...

    SLT for summer of '08

    Everyone on this site keeps saying that SLT is not being offered to Combat Arms Officers after BMOQ anymore. However, my FM still references that I will normally be expected to undertake up to 33 weeks of SLT upon completion of BMOQ, as of my swearing in. Either way, I am happy to serve, but...

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    WHEN are you checking your resting heart rate? Check it first thing in the am, before getting up. It does not sound like you have a serious problem, but it would help to start with the right set of measurements. Checking your resting heart rate when nervous is NOT checking your resting heart...

    Real Estate

    Thanks for the very helpful reply, I did not realise that Royal Lepage could work with other agents. That makes things a lot more clear. KMJAB

    Real Estate

    Did a search, this thread seems the best suited for my question. Even if is is a wee little bit old. When I finish BMOQ and CAP and Phases 3 and 4 and finally get posted somewhere . . . 1:  Am I allowed to use any real estate agent I want, or do I have to use certain ones, ie Royal Lepage...

    Should I eat before or after my morning swim?

    Partly becasue I am waiting for drywall compound to dry, (slightly more exciting than paint) and partly because there is a point to it, I provided no link to a study of cramping/swimming/eating because I have yet to ever see one. If someone can direct me to a reported study, I would find it...

    Should I eat before or after my morning swim?

    I applaud any effort to find better sources, but I fear that your .edu site may itself be relying on myth. It lacked any reference. See http://www.livescience.com/health/071220-medical-myths.html For similar examples of doctors believing medical myths.. These examples were studied and...

    May 5th BMOQ

    If I read this thread properly, the May BMOQ might have just shifted in tempo from a bunch of 30-40 years old DEOs to all 18-20 year old ROTPs with a few of us old fart DEOs thrown in. . . Guess I will have to work extra hard on the running  :)

    Rememberance & loss from the soldiers' perspective

    Almost one month after I started getting my paperwork together to join the army, I was sitting in the coffee room, reading the paper. The name on the front page was the same as my old friend, but I spent several minutes denying that it could have been him. I read his parent's names, his age, his...
