Who said I was an iron man? You need to check that attitude at the gate.

Question. I've heard of this online system before, I think it's called EMAA, or EMMA, where I can access my online pay stubs, etc. How do I go about setting this up? I am currently on a tasking in Ottawa, away from my home unit, and would love to get this going. Is this something I can stroll...

Ironically he did, yes. That and how much did you guys hydrate? And beer doesn't count. And it was 24 on that day... not hot at all. Some of the guards are weak willed I guess.

Well, actually none of us up here are from Borden, and or on PRETC. There  are 55 reg force members from Meaford who wee awaiting a course to open up. But since there were no DP1 available until sept, we were brought up to this absolutely fantastic city. Extremely better than roting up in...

When I went to BMQ this January, our platoon had 82 people in it to start. We graduated with 55 and thats after we had people in from RFT and various PAT platoons and such. I would have said that was a record, until I was on week 12 and I counted a platoon with 89!!! I pity the instructors of...

No, no, too greedy. I'm thinking $250,000 plus quartly weekend trips comped to Caesers Palace in Vegas would do nicely. And free Timmies

If that were true I might be able to make 13-13.5  ;D

I know the original poster seems to be satisfied with the answers he/she got, but in case anyone else is wondering the same thing i'll explain a little more. My experiences only can speak so far is I have only graduated basic and currently awaiting DP 1 but here goes. My basic course had 82...

It depends on your trade. For myself, in the infantry there is no such thing as exempt, we do it every year  ;D  (I THINK all combat arms personel do it every year?? anyone clarify??) But One of my friends is a MSE OP (driver) in the arir force and he will not have to do it again until next year.

As well, on this day all your instructors are watching you. This is the time you want to shine. By shine I don't mean "show off" but make them notice you. Don't drop out at stage 6, that just tells them that your not looking to get ahead, and the minimum is what you will always except.

you don't even need to step into  a gym to start losing weight. The biggest thing is diet. Eat right, and the weight will start coming off. Simple things at home, crunches, push-ups, sit ups etc... go for a walk, build up to a jog.

All basic is really designed to do is transform you from a civilian, to a member of the CF. Drill, dress and Deportment. A Mcpl at battleschool once said to a group of us "congradulations, you passed basic, you now know how to put on a uniform" "we will teach you how to become a soldier"

You can be pretty sure that you will get whatever Regiment you want. Which Battalion, I have no clue. Most likely, where they need you, you will go  ;D Up until week 12 of BMQ I was PPCLI, than I asked my Sgt. on a march back to Farnham about switching to RCR and he told me to put a memo in...
