oh hehe...ya  :-\ I was just really upset with the whole not being able to use my summer leave to train thing. Well that coupled with the fact that I do have a terrible mouth.  You know what's weird though is that almost subconsciously that transfers over from my every day lexicon, to my typed...

Man!!  Alright it's not like this is news to anyone on here, but holy **** there are some dumb a$$ questions that get asked on these boards.  And it always seems like it's the same people who are repeat offenders. I know when I first joined and started posting I posted some doozies myself, and...

I've got some serious hip discomfort going on.  Can't even walk without the thing causing "discomfort"!  Thing is I'm on summer leave for about another week, week 1/2 or so, then I start DP1 INF on Sept 10th. Given the circumstances, I don't exactly want to stop PT for the rest of my leave to...

Scene! thanks again troops.

Hey guys thanks for the replies! Geo, I hear what you're saying believe me!  I know I am only basically qualified.  However, even through my short three months (hardly a stint let alone a career) in the army I have realized that work here is about 95% mandatory duties, prep for ops/ex/class...

Okay...I'm definately touching a tangent here so please forgive me in advance.  I've been told that CSOR, at the moment is no longer accepting applicants from the combat arms.  I understand the reasoning being that cbt arms are needed more in 'Ghan than in spec ops at the moment.  my question...

Hey man first off congrats on choosing the military, you've taken the first step towards what I'm told is an awesome career...however I haven't seen it quite yet as I just finished week 5 of basic and am only slightly above dog vomit...(I think???)  I'd say yes do both pulls and chins.  Here in...

I just realized that at the end of the post it sounded like I was referring to myself as an army.ca veteran which was totally not the case!  Sorry for any misunderstnading (if there is or was any by anyone).  I am most certainly NOT an army.ca vet (yet anyway) and am WELL aware of this fact.  :-X

mml, from what I understand you get sent to the "warrior platoon" where you do NOTHING but PT.  You have a maximum of 90 days in the WP to reach the physical standards required by the CF.  Anyone on any sort of intelligent exercise program who trains for 90 days will pass the tests administered...

Thanks for the info klc.  As long as there is constant PT I personally don't see how it can be all that, "bad/boring/WTF ever".  From what I've got from this thread is that your time spent there is in large part up to you, and the only reason people can't find anything to do is because of the...

My BMQ finishes Aug 14th and from the sounds of things I'll be put in PRETC for a while, whatever, it's part of the process I get that, and from what I've heard I've definately had worse jobs.  As far as working out goes, I'll take the opportunity every chance I get...I have a light case of...

Here's a link to an interesting article regarding the laws governing the military trials of terror suspects and perpetrators. http://www.aclu.org/natsec/emergpowers/14373leg20011129.html This is an excerpt from the article linked above which I believe may shed some light on your question of...

Sweet that's the answer I was hoping for!!! ;D

Sorry man, I was confused.  I will be an infanteer.  That's why I was wondering if the 2's and 3's are only held during summer months as I know a lot of those courses are conducted outdoors, thus weather may or may not become an issue during winter. I realize I shouldn't have posted in this...

So is it safe to say that the army tends to shuttle recruits through basic/Sq/BIQ consecutively, with a minimal amount of time between courses, depending on start dates??

Hey congrats MikeL! All the best on your upcoming tour. Are QL3's only offered during the summer months?? 

+1 GAP.  Those evil Americans.  They're just so damn....EVIL!!!  >:D

KS you're totally right IMO.  I think it Cho was given way too much coverage.  You couldn't turn on a TV for a week after it happened without hearing something about it.  I have to admit I did get sucked into the story a bit as I was interested in what could possibly spark a person to murder 30...

I've heard the terms thrown around a bit on the boards and can't figure out "exactly" what they mean.  I have a pretty good idea that a troll is someone who starts controversial threads to watch the mayhem unfold, but I have no clue what a squirrel might be...other than that fuzzy/greasy little...

haven't got a chance to watch it yet as there is no sound on my computer here at work, but it sounds to me like the usual anti war, anti nuclear, green peace, bunny hugging types that produced it.  Attempting to paint our (or any military) in a bad light, as they probably believe that a better...
