I'm not a fan of that type personally, your drink might disappear on you!

Shipwreck asked why it's important to know when Vimy happened. Here's the simple answer: context. Vimy is a part of a story. That story includes a war and the coming of age of a newly independent nation. It's important to know when it happened so you can see effects of battlefield technology...

Best cup holder ever!

I'm going to throw out an educated guess here and say that there will be little correlation between VO2 Max and FORCE test performance past a certain level. My reasoning is that the duration of each stage can be much shorter than that normally required to require maximal aerobic performance. ...

You can definitely skip ahead, it all depends on how long you can run now. But don't try too push it too hard, you'll end up causing more harm than good. You'll have to use your own judgement. You're not in the ideal position, but you're doing something about it and that's all you can do now!

The personal sacrifices that our troops have made in recent years have been significant, and the nature of war and it's new environment make day-to-day life harder.  But the losses pale in comparison to those suffered in the two world wars. “We learn from history that we do not learn from...

The thread is about the Threshold Test, which, AFAIK, is still using the Shuttle Run. Running isn't easy. It's rewarding because it isn't easy.  You need to increase your cardiovascular capacity in general, which means pushing your heart and lungs.  You need to get yourself winded, that's what...

You're confident about the shuttle run, but you're concerned about a 2 km run?  The shuttle run starts at 8.5 km/h, and goes up by .5 km/h every minute.  I know nothing about your age/sex/ fitness levels, but if you're a male under 35 years of age, the shuttle run minimum standard covers a...

It's not that bad, just "Economic Action Plan 2014 Act, No. 1." The rest of it makes up the title of the government web page along with the act, the journalist misinterpreted that title as the title of the Act.  Not shocked by that at all.

That's a discussion I could really get into!  If a member isn't medically fit for duty, physically or mentally, then they should be released.  End of story.  It's in the best interest of the institution and its member that this happens, as much as it isn't fair to the individual.  This usually...

There isn't a condition out there that people won't try to self-diagnose. If you look on the 'net you'll find blogs and forums that touch on the subject.  There are even screening quizzes you can do online that people will use to carry out this self-diagnosis.  Of course, it has no weight in the...

:rofl: Oh man, that was good.

It wasn't something that was discussed with members when I was a corporal in Cold Lake, you just went on your PLQ when you were told to.  It actually seemed more normal for people to avoid gong on the course.  People were amazed when I told them I asked for mine, it just wasn't normal there. ...

Short answer - yes, your education history will make up for the fact you have no relevant work experience.  If fact, you're probably better off getting in with the Master's.  It'll be better for you as an officer if you get in. Edit: Sp

:google: site:milnet.ca CFAT Just copy and paste that in Google, does wonders...

Slightly off topic, but supervisors should be having conversations with corporals that are showing leadership potential, suggesting that they request being loaded on a PLQ themselves when having their CM interview.  If the member is suitable for promotion, and shows the interest to get loaded...

I see your point...now.  ;D

He was a genius...and a little crazy...

Why are you asking this question?  In my opinion, your academic position is not currently competitive.  You said that you were found suitable, which only means that you met the minimum criteria.  If you really want a shot at making it, you shouldn't be asking if it'll be ok if your average...

There are a lot of holes in the story. He said that the CFGA (did he mean the Board?) hadn't seen the grievance, and yet omitted 75% of it (from whom?).  Oh, and it was seen by the CDS as well...so it sounds like it went through the entire grievance process...but it didn't.  ??? He did bring...
