Maybe it depends on where you are living. I live in southern Ontario and I will be doing mine in meaford. Maybe if you live out east more in the maritimes you will be sent to gagetown. But I could have sworn everyone going RCR does theres in meaford...

Basic Infantry training for soldiers heading to The Royal Canadian Regiment (The RCR) is conducted at the Land Force Central Area Training Centre in Meaford.

It depends on resource and staff scheduling. Some platoons may get a break, others may finish one course on Friday and start the next the following Monday. You won't know for sure until you get there.

What context would they say that in...all the time? Just curious.
Sensitive? No. Protective and respectful would be more accurate. In my day (and I don't think it has changed too much) you would certainly have a new DADDY if you used that term in a flippent manner, just as we would not disrespect any other Regiment. Humour and disrespect are two different things.

Me sensitive about RCR chicken jokes? No, not when they're made by someone who actually served in The Regiment and it's between two Royal Canadians. And neither are most serving or retired RCRs.
But the young Canadians who read this site don't get your 'humour" and you shouldn't be seeming to be calling down a regiment they are seeking to join.

Run Chicken Run, You know, it realy didnt bother me when i was with them but now that im with the Pat's it kinda gets under my skin a bit. Oh well fu* it, i know the guys are just having a go at me and besides its all the same sh** no matter what regiment your in.

That whole run chicken bit is all in fun. Whats a little Regimental rivalry? It creates pride in ones own Regiment. Patricias... Royals... R22R's... they all make fun of each other. Infantry makes fun of Service Battallion... Army makes fun of Navy... and on and on and on... Its all in the spirit of competition, and pride. But at the end of the day, after all is said and done, we're all Canadians on the same side. Lets just keep that in the back of our mind.
