A true Canadian. Rest in peace Tom.  :salute:

A couple of invitations to "PLEASE PLAY AGAIN".  ;)

They would probably be much more open to you joining the reserves if they knew more about the CF in general, and what it means to be a reservist. Make sure they know that it is highly unlikely that you will be forced to go to war, and that deployments are optional. Good luck.

oh yeah, i was doing wide grip curls about 3 weeks ago and i messed up something in my forearm big time. it felt like my arm was about to snap halfway through the curl. i gave it 2 weeks rest, until the pain stopped while curling something, then switched to close grip curls. i suggest resting it...

there are lots of good free beep test apps for iphone/ipod touch

I read on Forces.ca (under the "training" section of Combat Engineer) that combat engineers need to do basic military officer training. is this real or just a mistake? i was under the impression that all NCMs do BMQ and BMOQ is for officers.

Phew... thanks a lot for clearing it up, that puts my mind at ease

I read that you need to sucessfully execute a 75kg hand grip test to pass the expres test in BMQ. is this a 2 handed grip or a single hand? i did a single handed grip test today and the max i could do was 55kg, i'm stressing about it a bit because i really want to do well on the expres test.
