This was one of the best posts I have read here. I am going to pass it on to as many members of our unit as I can. Thank you for taking the time to write this down and explain it in straight forward terms. Chimo !

I joined at the Reserves 45 and was the 4th oldest guy on BMQ & SQ. There were recruits 46, 48 & a Cop at age 51 older than me. We all made it through a very demanding BMQ & SQ, many younger people dropped out. Don't for a second use your age as a crutch, it is more mental than physical.  I...

Hi Fit to fight, I missed out getting on QL3 training last summer but I'm on the list for next summer. Once I have that I'm hoping they recognize my Electrical License as QL5 advanced MOC. I would lke to get promoted to Corporal the same as the Res MP's do after finishing Police foundations. Any...

It is great to hear from other Sparkies : ) I've been in for over a year and didn't get away for MOC training for C/Eng in the summer. I love being in a Combat Engineer Regiment  but it is hard on the pride factor because they won't recognize my Electrical licence's. So while young kids get...

I'm in the Reserves , I don't believe we have access to that kind of help. As far as I know we're on are own when it comes to conditioning and injuries. Dguy

I was looking for more constructive advice. I don't know what you mean by "Leave Now" I have contacted my local YMCA where I am a member and have met with a personal trainer. We have already laid out a game plan and workouts to improve my running. I have also booked an appointment to meet with...

I have a nagging leg injury from BMQ in January. I'm now in SQ and having trouble with the morning PT run. I had to drop back both times. I have no trouble with the Ruck marches but when I run the injury comes back.... What do I do ? What happens if I can't complete the 10 K run ? Any good...

Thanks Pteparts, that verifys what I was told also. I have to connect with our RMS at our local unit and get the course for OTJ underway. I also heard it is unlikely I will get formal training in 06 and will have to wait till summer 07. There is very few spots open and my priority is only a...

I have both the Industrial and Construction/Maintenance Electrical Licences with 20 years experience. I'm currently in BMQ in a Reserves unit in SW Ont. ED Tech and FCS Tech are not available in the Reserves at the moment. Therefore I'm going through for RMS after I finish SQ in June /06. Will...

:) I'm also going through for RMS. I'm currently in BMQ and finishing up with SQ by next June/06. I'm in a Reserve unit in SW Ont. Does anyone know how the training for RMS is offered ? Can it be broken up into segments? Can you take OTJ training for part and finish the rest in Borden ? I...

Rucksack maintenance - empty it out and take it to the car wash , $2 later it is spotless. Hang it to dry and then if it still smells drop a clothes dryer sheet in it. Same for your hockey bag. Chimo  :)

I have submitted my application for service as an ED Tech. I have two Electrical Licence's and hope to put them to use in the Reserves. What units in SW Ontario utilize ED Tech's ?   8)
