    Too Easy "The Mega" week 5

    April 19, 2009 As always, my intent for this post is to illuminate for newer members what life is like in the CF.  Experiences may vary ;). Three years since my last post on this thread, I had honestly forgotten this record was here.  It was fun to re-read.  What to say, I am not a newbie...

    PLQ 2012

    Three weeks left on this course.  It is well organised and conducted in a learning environment.  If you're gonna do it, this is the place.

    PLQ 2012

    I have the good fortune of attending a Mod 6 in Aldershot in the near future.  Having been away from the office I have not had eyes on any joining instructions etc.  As I begin my pre course prep I have the ussual questions coming to mind.....  Can anyone offer some insight  into what awaits...

    Petawawa Bi-athlon?

    I am taking the first steps in resurrecting this event.  Does anyone have or know where I could find details, breakdowns etc of how this event used to be run?  I started creating a race to the ranges and back, then I noticed the old biathlon range on the map.  I have no idea what to do with it...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    I certainly must have time on my hands because I read four pages of this thread on boot bands when all i wanted was a picture of the new combats.  I always understood the purpose of boot bands and blousing to be the WW2 response to a soldiers "fight or flight" response.  When the bowells let go...

    DP 1.1 IST

    I have to correct myself as others have done.  Confirmed by the CCO Pet, 1.1 does not mean you "are" a member of said sub occ, despite the numerous speeches I sat through in Kingston from CF members as high up as Major welcoming us as the first to officially join the IST sub occ.  Only...

    Rucking with a heavy load and the new rucksack

    I dare say I have had extensive experience with the "New" Ruck Sack, at least 2 BFT's, 1 Nijmegan and 2 Iron Man competitions under my belt with this ruck and I can say whole heartedly that I love it.  To complete these events you must master the challenges of blisters, chaffe and mental...

    Packing a Ruck

    Hmmm, so PLD and LDA are on the chopping block and spec is proving ellusive at best.  I'm thinking I may have to revive my Pizza Delivery skills.

    Petawawa Bi-athlon?

    The annual Iron Man race has just wrapped up in Petawawa.  Like most competitors I had a great time driving the body on work up training and was challenged by the event itself.  The record turn out was commended by the Bde Cmdr as a sign of our strong commitment to physical fitness and hunger...

    Worried about basic training? Think you don't have what it takes?

    On my reg force basic, 2005 St Jean, we had a Kenyan Gentleman with us who claimed to be 56.  He had that legendary Kenyan cardio thing going on.  No one could catch him.  He did clarify later that his age was an estimate as there were no birth records in Kenya where he was born.  He had to rely...

    DP 1.1 IST

    This course is ideal for the basic computer user.  It's CSN all over again, literally.  What we didn't know is, it's the "3's" course for IST, if you compete this course, you ARE IST.  Have Fun!

    DP 1.1 IST

    I am on the  DP 1.1 IST course which starts in a few days.  According to the :CFSCE course calendar this will be the pilot for this course.  I have not recieved any information other than the course message.  Can anyone tell me more about what the next 7 weeks have in store for me/us and what...

    I am thankful to the people who keep this site running.  It is a tremendous resource to those of us who have a high GAF factor. So here's todays questions, Does QL5 completion exempt me from DP 2.0? Is DP 1.1 the same as the CSN course?  (As I can recall seeing the "IST 3's Course" sign on...

    I know it's an impossible question, but your chances of winning the lottery are better if you buy a ticket......  Eta on treasury board decision?  Anyone?  Beuller?

    Always the optimist, I had high hopes for the spec.  Mainly because I was hearing realistic expectation from some old seasoned types.  However it seems it's not to be.  No poet for Siggy means no spec for Siggy.  And so, I have a new name, the same pay and the same job.  It is a struggle for me...

    Found this on the laptop, forgot I wrote it.

    Wrote this while over seas a couple years ago.  I had been in theatre for five months at this point and was more than ready for a break.  I loved all the guys/gals I worked/lived with and all shots taken were in good fun.  I'm no writer, it is what it is.  As always the real purpose behind...
