    Petawawa Thread- Merged

    True nothing stopping you at all, but as a single member (hate that expression since some of us aren't married but not single either) you get put at the bottom of the pile, i've been on the waiting list for over a year for a Q, because my landlord was selling due to being posted out, so I had...

    Kingston thread - merged

    You are indeed wrong. There is a french catholic elementary school (Monseigneur Rémi-Gaulin) located near the Division street ramp to the 401.  As well as a french catholic high school which includes jr high (Ecole Secondaire Catholique Marie-Rivier) near the Sir John A. MacDonald blvd ramp to...

    PRES VS RCN PRL

    With what org is the position? I can tell you from personal experience, as well as many sailor friends' experiences, if it is an RCNR position, the RCNR hates giving spots to non-sailors, but on the flip side they also hate letting sailors work in non RCNR positions. Like I said though the...

    Putting on weight

    That's Gregg Valentino...and I can tell you he did more then just workout his arms, he was a competitive bodybuilder (aka he worked legs too) in the 70s and/or 80s, but then he started injecting synthol into his arms...those arms aren't muscle, he can't flex them they look like blobs. 3 big...

    Reserve SQ not recognized after transfer to reg force

    Probably because the militia BMQ and SQ are each 4 weeks, and are together counted to be equivalent to the regF BMQ.

    JTF-2 Selection

    TN2IC: thanks for that quick and easy reply, does it make a difference that I will be applying as Cat 1 and not Cat 2, in regards to applying to both? I know Cat 2 can apply to pretty much all the CANSOFCOM units at the same time. Rheostatic: yes every 18months, I read the CANFORGEN, knew it...

    JTF-2 Selection

    I thought about starting a new thread but didn't see the point of starting yet another SOF thread, so without further adieux. The whole idea of getting more then one kick at the can or failing to get picked up during JTF2 selection, and then applying to CSOR questions, made me think. Are you...

    Interesting pronunciations of places the military sends us

    Ok so I put this in this section as it has to do with where we currently are deployed, but if its in the wrong section feel free to move it. I was watching TV, and for the first time really paid attention to words they were using, where the guy said he was travelling to another country and...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    I disagree, that we're not issued junk.  You should hear the complaints (valid ones) about the new ruck, the GP Boots, etc...they may be PRICEY, but expensive does not equal good.  The points brought up, in my opinion should be looked into seriously.  Boots being junk and chewing feet up...

    Possible Changing of Roles for JTF2?

    I may be out of my lane here, or not be able to get a straight answer due to OPSEC or lack of pers with knowledge, but i'll give'r anyways. Suffice to say i've heard scuttle-butt (i know don't listen to rumours) that JTF2 will be changing roles and only doing domestic stuff, and that CSOR will...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    I know the "old guard" will all hop to defend this one, and chastise me if you must. but THIS (up above) is what turns people off from this site. from a project point of view no it was never cancelled.  So yes as someone who's on board with the project you would word it that way, but to some...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    Again I disagree. he specified cadpat boot project.  not GP replacement or MK 4. You won't agree with me, and I won't change my mind about you being wrong. So we can just let it go, and move on to getting back on topic about the new uniforms. Are we sticking with Cadpat or going multicam...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    You're in essence agreeing with him. He didn't say the Mk IV boot was cancelled but that CADPAT boot was cancelled, which you yourself just agreed with. Does anyone have any news on if the boot will have more then one manufacturer or what manufacturer?  Are we stuck with pouliot/boulet and...

    SAR Tech

    You guys are saying Component transfer, but do you actually mean Occupational Transfer? CT = reg to res or res to reg. OT = changing trades. Just toss in my 2 cents, guy I am working with has just passed the fitness tests and is set to start the courses in the next coming months, so i'm not...

    Improved Combat Uniform

    I know this is derailing a bit, but I get a little tired of hearing that line about camo overboard, and why camo on ships.  If you read up about the uniform, and the research they specify why they went with a camo, and its not so the Navy will look like sniperninjas.

    new rucks and the metal bars

    From a supply standpoint, if you don't have the bars in your ruck and you injure yourself, you may not be covered.  I remember the people from this project telling us this.

    Petawawa Bi-athlon?

    I'm all for more team building and just plain old competition in the military, drives on the soldiers to better themselves, and to in effect push themselves past what most think are their limits. On the other hand, i'd LOVE to see something else then DISTANCE events. In this regard we are...
