Enjoying being out of Suffield for the first time since mid March.  ALOT.

Hello all, I'm doing MM09 and I have a few questions concerning the sandbag carry.  What type of carrying systems/rigs have people who've done it have used in the past?  Which ones worked out well for you and which ones sucked?  Just looking for some feedback, as this will be my first time...

Actually I saw a "woman remote" the other day. It had such control features as "mute", "apologize", "massage" and "nag-on/off" Also features such dropdown menus as Get Me: -a sandwich    -a back rub                                                                 - a beer          -nachos and...

The previous posters are correct, put in your OT now. If you wait to put in a memo they will laugh at you and say you should have done it in basic or in the PAT platoon you're in now because they've already invested too much time and money into your training. One other thing:  Make sure you...

Hi Canadianmak, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news here but just a little info for you: I just got posted off of my 3s at the end of November and the word there was that the postings are now exclusively HQ & Sigs, or under some special circumstances, JSR.  As for posting preference, you...

After you finish BMQ there are several paths: A) If you're combat arms. you'll get transferred to the PAT platoon of whatever Battle School your trade uses (ie. Combat Engineers get sent to the Engineer school PAT platoon at Gagetown, RCR-bound infanteers to the Land Force Central  Area...

Usually 2-3 weeks, sometimes 4 at the most.  There are also many occasions of troops doing their SQ AFTER they've finished their QL3's, simply because the 3s course starts before the next available SQ course, and the 3s course also have priority over SQ courses.  So you could be looking at...

And for those of you here who have played the game Fallout 3 for xbox, you'll know that a vacuum cleaner, firehose nozzle, electric conductor unit and pilot light are all that's required to make your own handy rocket launcher...and who needs to know all that stuff mentioned below, when you have...

Rest In Peace Troops, :cdn:  & My sincerest condolences to the family and friends,  May God give you strength in these hardest of times :salute:

ettibebs....unfortunately the IT training for regforce 3s is still useless...this is a CD...this is a floppy...this is how you use a mouse.....etc. etc. Most of it is sadly outdated too, and that goes for some other areas besides IT.

Id be saving one bullet at all times in case I do get captured....wouldn't be worth putting my family through the anguish of knowing some  sick insurgent f*** tortured me to death...RIP Spc Fouty and Sgt Jimenez :salute:

Ok first off I wont be in your face, I know youre new to both the army and this website, but there are many, many threads that already address the questions you are asking.  This site has a search function, I would strongly advise that you use this function because I guarantee you will find many...

Or for Rahim to mysteriously disappear and for some new Taliban leader to coincidentally surface in Afghanistan a short time later. I really hope that NATO is pouncing on Pakistan to make sure this guy doesn't slip away.....

I think you should re-think what serving your country really means... Dogpile inbound!

During our BMQ in Borden our course went to a hockey game in Orangeville and it said the seats were all reserved for the cadets..... Its somewhat annoying I suppose, but who really cares?  Its not like theyre trying to slight you, some civilians just dont know the diffence is all. my 2 cents...

Posted of course, by the lovely folks at the G&M comment boards regarding the shooting incident in Afghanistan of the 2 children and their father...this guy is just rtfo.......... :brickwall: *Though I have heard of suicide bombers, I have never heard of suicide bomber families. This killing...

It depends on which base you get sent to do your course.  I went to Meaford and it was go go go, move with a sense of urgency all the time for the whole duration of our course, the inspections were also intense and our staff were always finding ways to make us work our asses off.  On the other...

I agree, 4 weeks is way too short a time to do that course....and so does everyone, right up to LFCA commander (who visited our course in Meaford).  From what I understood the army is trying to re-instate the 7 week SQ, as EVERYONE, from Pte up to BGen can see that the course is FAR too short. 

#1- Marching to the mess, our Sgt sees people from CFSAL running to get in front of our PL, turns to us and says :  Look at those fatties, I bet they havnt run that much since basic.  *turns to the CFSAL people* RUN FATTIES, RUN!!!!!  and puts us into double time. #2- roomate who puts his...

At first it can be very difficult to get up and have energy in the morning...especially for those wonderful BMQ runs.  Speaking from experience, you will eventually adjust to the routine of waking up before the crack of dawn and going for a run.  I was definitely not what you'd call a morning...
