I've been planning on applying to the military for quite some now, and I've finally made the decision to apply to ROTP.  I was working on gathering references and getting ready to go to the recruiting office this week or next, but last Thursday I injured my wrist badly.  The doctors couldn't...

Don't worry about it.. soon you'll be wondering how it was ever possible to bear march at all! Best times in cadets? The survival instructor's course this past summer and seeing cadets that I trained get sworn in, promoted etc.

There are two shops I've dealt with in the Toronto area.  The one I started with was AAA Surplus on 199 Baldwin St (Kensington Market).  Just a warning to anyone heading down that way, the staff are not very knowledgeable at all.  For example, I was asking for combat boots and was handed a pair...

This happened in a grade twelve politics class while watching a clip about Canada's involvement in Afghanistan.  The clip showed a few seconds of training that involved kicking in a door and making sure a room was clear. Girl: "Why are they doing that!? Aren't they supposed to be peaceful!? "...

Desjardins actually does have branches in Ontario, although not nearly as common as they would be in Quebec.  I know of branches in Oshawa and Penetanguishene (fairly large franco community in the area) for sure.  The Desjardins website has a way to find other locations as well...

Thanks for the quick replies! The guidance office at school has been utterly useless up til now, so it seems the best bet is to speak with the co-op teacher and then with recruiters from there.  Is it better to speak with unit recruiters or CFRC Toronto regarding co-op? kincanucks, thanks for...

Hi, I'm a grade 12 student and graduating this year, although I'm doing a victory lap (extra year of classes) in 09-10.  I've been considering a career in the military for a long time now and am aiming for artillery, armoured or intelligence.  The one question that remains for me is whether I...

Amazing story Dee Dee.  Best of luck on Tuesday!

bigrigg, here's a link to a download of the beep test track: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U8C2MLX0 edited to add:  I've checked it, and it matches up with the one that gets used in the gym classes at my school.  It should be what you're looking for.

philldogg,  cadets is an amazing experience.  Your interests and what units are close to you will help you pick which element to join - air, army or sea cadets.  Sea cadets has a focus on sailing and seamanship.  Army cadets has a focus on adventure training - outdoor activities.  Air has a...

Background Info on CFAO 49-6 :  (Emphasis is mine) Bandmaster is right, the best thing to do is optimize the time we do have.  Not only do many cadets have other commitments, such as sports, volunteering and part time jobs, but in some squadrons, it can actually be impossible to get the...

'Nuff said.

If you're handing it on Tuesday,  is it safe to assume that it went fairly well at the recruiter's yesterday?

Eh, congrats Ryan, on both the long service and the promotion!  Have fun with being a FCpl, should be an interesting experience.  Has your sqn got all the responsibilities mapped out for the new rank yet? 

Thanks Mike, will do.

Mike, I did the link deal instead of actually uploading the photo, and got an image of a chain.  Any issue with that, or way around it? 

Not quite a glider grad, but spent most of my summer there this year, as well as doing ITAC last summer at Loyalist. All I have to say is.. So there I was on airtow,  INVERTED! PS: The tow planes don't like oranges ;)

Thank you airmich, the link worked quite well!  All that's left for to do is sorting out the length of the track nearby to figure how much of it I should be running.

footsoldier,  Found out recently that there is in fact a wrestler at RMC who does train with the Queen's wrestling team and its working out for him fairly well.  Perhaps in future there will be more interest and there will be a whole team.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Wook
