"When I look at many cadets I see immature, irresponsible, disrespectful, children." Well, that is because most of the cadets are children. Most just entering the teenage years. I do not agree that they should be forced into joining the CF, but i do believe there should be more of an attempt...

With the Reserve SQ course, are you issued the new basic gear, such as the Tac Vest. I start my BMQ in roughly 4 weeks, and last year i saw the guys that were on the course, and half had them, half didn't. Does anybody know if by now, the new basic kit such as that will be issued, instead of...

Seeing as in how any nuclear attack from France would be directed at states supporting terrorism, does anyone think that countries, mainly the  US, would support their decision to respond to a terrorist attack in such an extreme way? Or do you think it will create a problem between France, and...

Thanks for all the replies. One last thing, through out the recruiting process, i knew for a fact that if i passed everything, i would be joining as Armoured Recce, because of the location of the unit. But seeing as in how you can be shipped anywhere in the country with the Regular Forces, would...

Thanks for the replies. Gives me an idea of what i might be getting myself into.  Mike

Thanks for the information. I just have one more question if its not to much trouble. Assuming everything goes well with transferring to the Regular forces, will the fact that my girlfriend will be coming with me (or possibly fiancee by that time) make any difference in having a choice in which...

Hi, i am currently in high school and am about to start my Res. BMQ course. For now, i am joining and Armoured Recce unit. If i like it, i will most likely join the Regular forces. Which is what I've been thinking of doing after high school for some time now. With that being said, i have been...

I am currently scheduled to start my basic training through co-op as well. Now above it was stated that there is a lot more time, so everything is not as rushed. Does this mean that the instructors will go more in depth into everything, or at least some things? Or will it just be taught slower...

Today i took both the CFAT and Physical fitness test. I passed both, probably because i reviewed my math quite a bit before hand, and worked on my physical fitness. Some others on this thread have mentioned that they were told there was no need to study, and they didn't. Now some got the trade...

I've been taking some on-line aptitude tests (one of which the recruiter I'm dealing with sent me) and i have discovered that my math is a lot better then i had previously anticipated. But i have also found out that my vocabulary isn't as great as i thought. On the CFAT, out of the 10 questions...

Well, I've scheduled my aptitude test for Sept 6, and I'm extremely nervous. I have a few books which have math and things of that nature in them, such as Fire Fighter Exam preparation books. But thats only one section of the CFAT. I know that the spacial part of the test isn't as easy to study...

Would taking the Summer BMQ course mean that you would have to wait until the summer following it to do SQ. Or is it done in the same summer?

Hi, I'm in the recruiting process right now, and will be scheduling my aptitude test with in the next few days. I'm hoping to get score high enough for armoured recce, and my second choice is infantry. Infantry would be about an extra 45 minutes away though. Would any one happen to know how high...

Glad to hear things worked out for you. Good Luck.

Yes i know Baldwin isn't that great, but its the only field withing 20 minutes of where i live. If i could influence someone to give me a ride to Barrie of down town...then i would. You're right, playing with some of the groups of younger kids does get frustrating. Especially when you think...

Ive been playing for about 2 years now, but have never played in a scenario game. Hows peoples opinions on them, and how much would it regularly cost, compared to a regular day?. Would you go through more paint then in a regular day at a field, or is it roughly the same? Mike

Thanks for all your replies. And i wasn't only thinking of joining infantry with the thought of being a sniper in my mind. I'm going Armoured Recce, and i was just wondering if they had snipers, seeing as in how the are reconnaissance, i just thought they might have snipers along side. Again...

That was great...couldn't stop laughing ;D. Mike

That was hilarious, that made my day. Thats the funniest thing I've found on this site. Mike

Hey Cpl. Clarita, in "shooting camp", which i believe you're talking about CLI marksman in connaught, I'm pretty sure all you get to shoot is the C12, not the C7, and in Bravo CLI in Blackdown, you shoot only 30 rounds with the C7. Alpha only gets 20.
