Spelling may not commonly be considered an infantry related skill, but it will help with the way you present yourself here, and in your military career.
Welcome to army.ca, enjoy your summer reading while you wait for the recruiting process to develop.
Since it might be a while before I get any news about my application and I’m able to post more details about my enlistment process, I've decided to post a sample of my training regimen. I’m open to suggestions, tips, comments and questions.
I start off each workout with a 10 minute warm up on a stationary bike and then I stretch.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I run. Right now, I’m running for about 30 minutes, will increase over the next few weeks. After the cardio portion of my workout, I do some strength training
Monday
Strength training: Push ups, chin ups, dips, sit ups, reverse dips press ups, one legged squats, pull ups. 1 set of each, as many reps as possible.
Tuesday
Strength training: Dead lifts, squats, bench press, dumbbell curls, triceps kickbacks, shoulder press. 2 sets, 4-5 reps with heavy weights.
Wednesday
Strength training: Push ups, chin ups, dips, sit ups, reverse dips press ups, one legged squats, pull ups. 1 set of each, as many reps as possible
Thursday.
No running. 30 minutes of rowing.
Strength training: Dead lifts, squats, bench press, dumbbell curls, triceps kickbacks, shoulder press. 3 sets, 16 reps, lighter weight to work on endurance.
1-hour floor hockey at night.
Friday
1 hour game of hockey.
Saturday
30 minutes biking, 30 minutes rowing
Strength training: Push ups, chin ups, dips, sit ups, reverse dips press ups, one legged squats, pull ups. 1 set of each, as many reps as possible
So, there you have it folks, a week in the life of a recruit hopeful… training wise anyway!

I like it, but I'm not seeing any ab workouts, strengthening the abs will make all of those exercises easier. If you are good at pull ups consider doing this exercise http://www.ringtraining.com/articles/Lsit.htm

I spent a good part of the day at the CFRC today. Did the CFAT, qualified for the three trades that I had selected and a bunch more.
I also did the medical exam. Since I had surgery last March for Compartment Syndrome, I need to get a few forms filled out by my Doctor... and it's just my luck, he's on vacation! So, as it stands, my faith lies in the hands of the good Doctor!
I'll hurry up and wait for now.

Congrats dday!!
I'm still waiting for my call... Hopefully soon though... I called my CFRC/Barrie yesterday and I was merit listed as of Sept 21. They told me I should be expecting a call within the next 2 days or so... Here's to hoping.
Again congrats.
