There was a story about "The Oldest Man in NATO" where a guy got in late forties, finished his Battleschool at age 48 and was patrolling over in Asscrackistan with 3PPCLI at 52 I believe. Age is a mindset, I say carry the $#@%@#$ on! :warstory:

I wouldn't mind spending most of my career in Edmonton... 8) J

I was just flipping through some other country's military pages (the Brits, States, Aussie's to name a few) and I was looking through their version of Signal Operators and found that they had a few different things ie. a technical side of the communciation being one trade (but still a SigOp) and...

Lol...yes..I realize that going to Comox is highly unlikely. I did get Edmonton, which was my first choice, but one can dream.Can you go there after your Journeyman? Just one of those things I'm curious about.. J

Thats a tad funny, when we started our 3's, we were informed that Kingston was pretty much a no go, outside of extreme circumstances so on and so forth. 10 people decided to ask for JSR anyway and got it after being repeatedly told that they wouldn't:P What I wouldn't mind doing is going to...

Maybe not to slight the ongoing REG QL3 courses going on but there isn't enough time spent on field AE anymore. I think I built one on the entire course. It did work too...hooked that bad boy up to a 138 and talked in the sun all day :) But I've heard crazy stories about guys attempting AE out...

Having just recently graduated from St. Jean in 2004, I did notice that some of the problems mentioned in the previous posts have been glaringly obvious to most recruits. Language Barrier: I realize that the CF is developed as a bi-lingual force and what not however, lets face facts. Most of...

Hey, The next Anglo SigOp course starts June 2 (which I believe is next week.) Not quite sure when the one after that one is. A french one graduates next week so I assume a new one might be coming in later on. Jason

Thanks RadOp...informative. :salute: Jason

Hey, Maybe slightly off topic, just wondering what that group that (might?) be going over in July. A detachment of some sort, I know a few friends on a 3's course that might be going over on that. First tour literally weeks after grad from 3's. WOO! Borden - Make sure you spend the LEAST...

Hey all, Just wondering how everyones field ex was when going through their 3's. How many moves per day, stuff like that. Just a general lowdown. Thanks. Jason

Hey all, Just have a question to put out there: in your opinion, would it be better to go to Battaltion/Unit after your 3's or get posted to CFJSR. Theres a few guys that want to get posted to Kingston as a first posting but they were told the chances of that happening. In my opinion, one would...

Having never been overseas (but hopefully soon!) I would think it would be a mixture of both...more so concentrated on patrols though. We are required to know patrolling skills, operation of machine gun (C9 etc.) and other patrolling requirements. Without a radio, a SigOp is a foot soldier...

Flat feet are no longer a problem in regards to getting into the CF however, you will find that it is to your benifit to get orthodics and try and get some sort of arch back into your feet. No only will you get heel spurs ( a true bitch trust me...) but rucksack marches, runs, and any other sort...

If any of you guys go to Meaford this summer its tent city for you....hehehe;) and the racoons are huge and hungry:D Jason

Hey there...I agree with Trinity. I brought a hockey bag and a small day bag thingie when I went. Of course I left with a lot more stuff, a barrack box, 2 duffles, rucksack, hockey bag yadda yadda yadda. The thing is you want to stay a light as possible in my opinion because you might find...

Strange that CIC's would come up....I was told not to salute them around the base when I did see one... Jason

Does anyone know PPCLI's old motto? Jason

You guys are all going in F Coy right? If its regular force, some stupid story was circulating Borden for the Reg guys that their May course is called off...poor bastards...more time for them to catch STD's lol ;) Jason

Thanks guys..I wanna get on the ROTO 5 from Edmonton if there is one Jason
