1. I don't know, given that everyone who replied has more life experience than me, I'll just turn on soldier mode and accept everything that is being fed to me. 2. Where you get Seaforth Highlanders of Canada from?

Well, back then in BMQ/SQ, everyone figured it that the instructors will know who skipped breakfast, so noone risked it; however some on DP1 thought otherwise. DP1 staffs' response, make the course senior check each room before he is to go for breakfast.

Here is what I am trying to relay. Some will not be able to handle the 'policy' any longer; sooner or later, some will give in, will it be the better ones or the bad ones. If those who can't take the initiative to ensure their own responsibilities are done, how can you expect them to help out...

Two thoughts after reading your reply. 1. If someone puts out their best and it is still not good enough, I am willing to be punished along with that individual because I know he gave his efforts. What pissed me off is, actual event, the staff says that no inspection will be done tomorrow. Some...

Personally speaking, it gets frustrating after a while when the entire course is punished because one or two individuals refused to put out. I know that comradeship is important, but while bother bonding the screw-ups to those who try their best? The argument might be that hopefully the...

On my BMQ, I heard this reservist infantry recruit telling stories about the senior infantry members having knee problems after spending so many years doing ruck marches. I was doubtful at the time, because in theory every reg force infantry will have bad knees given that they do much more...

As I was getting off work today (I work for chain supermarket), I saw this person with the typical homeless person look, refunding some items at the customer service counter. The person was wearing the CADPAT top as a normal shirt on top of another t-shirt. That person's CADPAT top was missing...

well, thank you for all of your replies, especially to Michael O'Leary's suggestion, it was really an eye opener

Can we stick to the topic please?

Well, I did my BMQ/SQ last summer and this summer I just think I should find a civie job.

Hi everyone, I am currently in the Army reserve and just graduated out of high school looking for a summer job. Other than the Reserve I have no other paid work experiences. I am not sure whether I should put the Army Reserve on my resume to increase my chances of getting hired. Being in the...

Thnx guys and/or gals for all the recommendations, I went to this local Running Room and bought myself a pair of New Balance. The 10% military discount is confirmed by the way.

September last year, I was given the choice to choose which unit to do my BMQ with. But then the BMQs were weekends ones, I am not sure if it is the same for full-time ones.

I was on this weekend BMQ course (I couldn't finish due to personal reasons) anyway, before the course starts, I got this list of items which they want you to bring, a pair of runners was on the list

i live in the Greater Vancouver Area, I guess I just missed out on a great deal.

Same as subject, which running shoes do you guys/gals recommend? I'll be doing BMQ and SQ in the summer, so I want to do my running in a good pair of runners, any recommendation(s) is/are appreciated. Nothing more expensive than $130 please.

Thats actually a great idea if you are lazy, but then you are screwed if you get caught. But the disadvantage thing is that you don't know how to make the bed.

bodybuilders have difficulties doing chin-ups/pull-ups because of they rather heavy body mass (remember, those muscles weighs more than fat) I personally think a bodybuilder makes a good soldier for the following reasons: 1. Can't move quickly due to massive body 2. They usually eat 5 - 6...

Are there any problems when running with combat boots on? I heard that you screw your ankles up when you run with weights while wearing combat boots. The rule changed now that they let you do PT wearing civilian running shoes, then why are the instructors expect you to run around with combat...

ideal PT? the most ideal point is that you can do 20 pull-ups within 2min, 100 sit-ups within 2min and run 3 miles within 18min Go to a gym and hire a trainer, tells him exactly what your goals are. Saves yourself a lot of time from making mistakes.
