    Tattoo Thread - including current policy [MERGED]

    I'm with the 5th BC Field Regiment, and we just had a applicant DENIED because of a chinese tatoo located on the right front of his neck.  Is this a new law in the CF?  Would like some help quick so I can get back to him before he goes and spends 125$ for 3 sessions to get it removed.

    Cadences

    Just a question which I couldn't find under the search function...If someone can point me in the right direction: Why are Military Cadences allowed in the CF for PT/Marches.  It'd raise the spirits of troops IMO for that 5 AM run  :threat:

    If you don't have any physical problems then age doesn't matter.  If you can pass the training and continue your duties, age doesn't matter. Ubique

    Instructor language at BMQ

    Instructor language at BMQ

    It's exactly it...Kewl and the rest of the new guys (myself included) take heed to these guys. I'm just about to head for my DP1 out in Shilo and damn I've been picking up great tips from guys with PLQ + in my unit and senior troops here on this forum. I thought about turning my small pack...

    Postpone the SQ?

    Amsdel if your confident your buddies are there to support you (Which they will) you'll do fine.  If your truly dedicated, go until you drop...Bite that invisible stick in your mouth and grind out the pain...Just focus on accomplishing the task and not what someone else is going to judge you...
