Should be F'N Great! Though the originals are rarely beaten by sequels (stands true to the Matrix and various other trilogies and series).

Ok...First of all Whoa! Feeling like your shoulder is going to pop after a few push-ups or chin-ups is NOT normal. I had a friend on one of my courses whose shoulder actually popped backwards after a continuous rounds of push-ups (told to go another set of 25 push-ups right after a set of 25)...

Ummm...isn't the CIC Basic Officer Training 10 days in length? Coffee, Smokes, MS Power Point, 3 or more square meals a day, 8 hrs of sleep everyday? PT hmmm, that's a tough one...last time I heard PT wasn't an issue in the CIC...not to sound insulting or anything but I have seen people wearing...

"Bug Netting" in this weather? HAHAHA, just made my day! Reminds me when I was a Reservist recruit and we had to bring everything and I mean EVERYTHING we were given to the Armoury every single time we showed up during the year before the QL3 031. Not only was it a pain in the a** but a complete...

Yes, there are several locations in TO to get the Vibram soles put on. I just got my first pair done by power of the medical chit given to me by one of the MOs at the MIR at ASU Toronto (where you should be going to get it presuming that you are a member of a unit in 32 CBG). I got 'em after I...

Apparently, CADPATs are resistant to fire, yup resistant until exposed to fire! I know a guy on my Basic Recce course a couple of years back who had this un-wavering conviction about the CADPATs and lets just say got hosed after an Arty Sim caught his Gucci pants in the middle of an ambush and...

While reading through some of the posts I thought of the following incident, true story but names have been changed (yea yea I know...) Somewhere in the middle of the course after having finished the range serial on the 3 day field ex at lunch, the platoon WO comes to us with the results and...

All I gotta say is...thank God I'm outta there. The freedom initiative tends to get out of hand more than often on such protests at York...simply because the rent-a-cops like to stand around politely say "Please stop you are hurting him" or "Please stop, you are killing him" especially when...

This is something that was brought up on my QL2 a few years back and shaving was something everyone dreaded to do...especially when you have maybe 20 minutes in the morning to sh**, shave, get dressed, get downstairs (no time to shower) in a couple of sinks with 6 or 7 other guys who have to do...

An excellent article about the capability and professionalism of our snipers and sniper trainees. I particularly liked "its surgical fire with little or no collateral damage"  :D

In my limited experience so far, the weight, height and muscle issues are still pretty huge amongst a lot of CF members. This post started out with a guy who wanted to inquire about the optimal weight for Infanteers and turned into "how to win a fitness/beauty contest". When I did my QL3 031 a...

I was surfing the web to find a copy of the CF Army Fitness Manual when I came across something a little disturbing and since I didn't see it discussed yet I thought I'd post it for feedback and opinions: http://www.cbc.ca/ns/story/ns-military-fitness20060106.html Text: Forces exercising...

So far from what I have seen throughout this thread is some folks either being bitter about the place of training or individuals associated with training and not really concerned about the training itself (there are a couple of people who are concerned with this however). Furthermore, what are...

Delta, after having done some "rucking" both for unit training purposes and on a few courses (which for an infanteer is basically inevitable), here are a couple of things I can offer from my own experience which has been bettered by practical regimen and the advice of a handful of thorough-bred...

Zarathustra, my guess is that Nietzsche has gone only so far in helping you out there b/c  you are already bored hehe. The CF may be good for you but it does have its share of boredom, nevertheless its the best job I have ever had and one that I decided to stick to since component transferring...

First Suggestion: Why bother with ROTP when you are almost done your degree? Instead why not commence the last year of your degree and in the process, apply to the CF as a DEO? Second Suggestion: Complete last year of your degree and in case you want another one, apply to the CF fresh for the...

Best 'o Luck 2 you guys...may the everlasting memories and bedtime stories begin!  :cdn:

Just saw this forum, thought I'd mention one of mine. This was a couple of years back on a training exercise on one of my courses. After a 48 hr force on force patrolling exercise and being lost for over 6 hrs my section commander decides he want to be found, so he sends out a call for radio...

LOL! What are the odds...I know who that OCdt is and he is waiting to be released (he wasn't on any of my courses thankfully as his reputation is close to one of Pvt. Pyle's), but his brand new excuse is a cover to the one previously stated, what a nut!

Be prepared to be asked about your previous experience(s) with narcotics a few times at least during the interview, the interviewing officer usually gets a kick out of that one. I was asked three times in very subliminal manners but nevertheless it soothes a tense atmosphere if there is any on...
