I only scored 39 for each hand and I passed, so nothing to worry about.

The following statement is just my opinion. 19 push-ups, 19 sit-ups and the 2.4km run are pathetic physical requirements for CF compared to other foreign militaries. For God's sake, I had to do 45 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, 10 chin-ups and cardio back in my Grade 10 PE course. I am 5ft 5, 115lb and...

You overtrained yet?

I apologize if I put this thread in the wrong section, but this section seems as close as it would get to my topic I am planning to a get cellphone, I know that Rogers gives out a special discount for military members; around $20-something dollars a month, need to show military ID card. Anyone...

Basically what the Sgt said, I am planning to see a family doctor and see what he recommends me to do well, I am NOT on the Class B contract, I am the kind which only parades once a week

I am a reservist. I asked a MCpl about whether the CF is covering for the cost for insoles, he said no since CF provides insolves, but those ones suck. I believe he got his covered by his civilian job insurance. Darn, I was hoping the CF would be covering it.

A while ago I posted a post about my numb toe, http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/35559.0.html . The same thing happened to my right toe, so I brought the up the problem to a Cpl during a feet inspection. As I was talking to the Cpl, a Sgt passed by and then he recommended me to buy better...

Hi, can anyone tell me some pointers when doing the rucksack march? Because I was training on my own, I found that the following problems happening: 1. my left trapezius muscle seems to be taking more load than the right one, even though I secured the rucksack equally tight on both sides. 2...

Can anyone give me some tips on cleaning the C-7 rifle? Even though I cleaned my C-7 the night before inspection, it somehow got dirty in the morning (the chamber part). Anyone feel like the barrel is a b*tch to clean? I did at least 20 something pull-throughs and the it still made the cloth...

Once in a while we hears some teenager dies for playing too hard in the sun. Doctors come out to warn us about knowing our limits. Is it really okay to push to the limit for BMQ? What is your 2-cent on this? I certainly don't want to be like the guy who drowned in the mud for doing too much...

Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, Cancouver, BC

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to see the list of items that you checked out from the army? I filed a loss report, the guys down at my regiment issued replacements to me. Next week, I found my lost items, I then returned my replacements. I just want to make sure that the system don't...

I just read this article on the boot camp training, possibly BMQ, for female American recruits. These stats are all taken from that Chinese web site I was reading. - 27 rounds, at least 6 rounds hit target on live fire exercise - 13 chin-ups - 47 situps - weighted (46kg) march with M-16...

i am in a BMQ course, for some reason the course is every THREE weeks, right now I am trying to get the stuff back into my head

Another BMQ course question, what are the different types of ammo the CF uses? I believe there are 5 types (correct me if i am wrong): blanks, dummy, tracer (red-tipped, leaves a 50m trail), incendiary and ball. If you know the characteristics of each ammo type, please list, would help me alot...

I had my BMQ course like last last week, I am beggining to forget some of the stuff, I don't want to get yelled at by the instructors. I can really use some brush up on C-7 handling. Can anyone here describe the procedure for the Make Safe and Make Ready?

my boots are not like skin tight or anything, they just plain fit. I guess they r not broken in enough. Thnx guys/gals.

Hello mates, I just finished up my first weekend BMQ section. I noticed that the top part of both of my toes (the big ones, not the little ones) are like f*cked. I can barely feel pressure exerted on that part of my toes. Do you guys think that feelings and sensity will come back or I am screwed.

hello mates, i got few questions about the swimming in the BMQ 1. How far do I need to swim for? 2. I am not going to swim with boots on right? 3. Does it matter which style I swim in?

punching a heavy punching bag? ps. you dun exactly make your lung bigger in size through cardio exercise, you make it more efficient (i think)
