I'm sorry to hear that! I guess I just lucked out :) On a side note... Do not get hurt after you received your offer of enrollment. The extra paperwork sucks and may delay my going to basic.

DAA thank you for your reply. I have already received my offer and had the results of my PLAR (185 day service credit and back pay) explained to me. I know that I am skipping the schooling part of my trades training (no Moncton,) however I still need to do the 3.5 months of clinical and 2 weeks...

Sorry to reboot this from a few months ago. I would like to clarify if the PCP anglo QL3 courses are for Med Techs who have come in semi skilled?

Scratch that I got my call yesterday. I'm also semi skilled so I'm not sure if that changes anything

Thanks I think I'm getting gassed from lack of rest days because MMA is a full body workout.

I noticed you don't have any rest days. How long have you been doing this cycle and have you felt like you've hit a wall? I ask because I am trying to figure out my workout schedule around half marathon training, mma classes and bodyweight workouts

I love doing this. Try taking your shoes off and running barefoot up and down the beach in the sand after. Brush the sand off and socks and shoes off. Works for me :)
