Oh man, I saw one of them last weekend...everything's going to be so crowded...can just imagine how long the food lines are going to be! Ah well...see you next weekend.

We did sit-ups in pairs, as many people as could fit on the floor space at one time and push-ups one by one.

My medical didn't include stretching but they pushed my head one way and I had to push the opposite (to see if I had a strong neck?). They didn't make us stretch or anything either. Physical was go until can't go no more.

For the valise question, I read in one of the handouts..can't remember which that you are supposed to line it with a heavy-duty garbage bag for water protection as well as your main ruck pouch. I put the hood on the bottom, then bivi, then ground cover then outer sleeping bag, then inner...

Okay, thanks.

Apparently there are hundreds of ways to adjust the ruck to better suit individuals... I am about 5'6'' and teh rucksack fits wonderfully, except after about 2 minutes my shoulders and neck kill, are there any adjustments to prevent that? (I'm on BMQ but my instructors said to find out some...

Bombproof hehe.. Anyway, is the bivy the small bag thing or what? (I should probably get off my ass and look at all the labels but hey lol) Is it on the kit list anyway, was it supposed to go into the valise origonally?

Hopefully someone will reply to packing suggestions or else how to attach a duffel bag to the rucksack...it would pretty much suck if we ended up doing a ruck march in the rain w/o coats!  :blotto: One more week of school! WHOOHOO!!!  :o  :D

1. Finishing school on Dec.23...WTF is that?!?! 2. People driving too close to the sidewalk too fast and getting crap all over 'walkers' (when it's snowy or slushie)...some people don't like to be covered in black crap that came off the tires or exhaust of your damn car and dirt off of the...

Definately ska, rock, metal and punk!

There are 2 courses there now, mine has infantry(a bunch), atrillery(2), one armoured...that i know of

The unit...well I'm not sure but it's at Fort York (most of the time). We haven't been instructed except for rain stuff goes here and tiolletries go there...on the kit list, it even says to bring a duffel bag on the list but now they apperantly don't want us to bring the duffel!?!?! so confusing...

It isn't for the ruckmarches (well it is but..) it's for the entire time we're there! It simply isn't large enough to fit EVERYTHING in! I'll try but I'll be leaving 2/3 of the kit list at home.

I'm currently in BMQ (but for the reserves) and it is 12 weekends...maybe you're just getting that mixed up because I believe it used to be shorter (there's even an 8 weekend one in January)

I heard that the new PT guy is a worse monster....in fact the comment about having the buckets there during PT is true...he runs marathons easily and expects us to do the same. We in for it...better start running...today! PS 'Manimal' and I were moved into a new section as of the end of today...

Sweet deal, keep it up. You should have no problem with your fitness if you exercise and eat properly. Good luck! :)

Hey thanks, on my packing list it had air mattress and thermarest as two different components.

Try to increase your water intake to keep things moving in your blood. If you are partaking in constant activity throughout the day plus a 20 min. workout you should consume 4 bottles. If you sit on your butt for a break day 2 bottles is okay. Drink mineralized water though, demineralized can...

Oh and to add something I forgot... Pastas and breads contain starches which are complex carbohydrates...these are important in maintaining blood glucose and insulin levels, if they are eaten in moderation. Do not overeat these but make sure you recieve a good supply to keep you going for the...

Losing weight may not be what you're looking for...you sound more interested in losing adipose tissue. What you need to do is forget about how much you weigh because muscle weighs more than fat...and water more than both. Make sure you're well hydrated before you run, DO NOT TAKE CAFFIENE...
