For (Cat 1) lvl 9 fitness, 40 pushups, 40 situps, 5 pull ups, 25m swim thats day one. Day 2 is the BFT. I go for my test mid Feb. PSP her in Gage has not come out with the exact dates. If I don't go in Feb it'll be after I instruct the ARCC. Doing that would be better, more reps more points. As...

As Vern said no bike is GT. From Dec 1st to 1Apr. I believe the only winter base that allow you to ride is Petawawa, unless thats changed. I ride yr round, studs on the tyres.. I ride to the gate lock it up and walk to the hanger.

Fellas I have 195 static and a few FF its great. Americans pass their static lines, their do not throw them. As a JM, you loose some fingers if your not careful with our fellas. I jumped in Bragg, and the first thing the American JM said was " DO NOT THROW YOUR STATIC LINES". As stated we can...

Thats my old C/S when I was in Hell (B Sqn).

The BPSO office does have the form in Gagetown. I'm complete ( Med file gone, COs letter, App form) up to the test. As far as the CM knows, I'm the only Armour WO to apply. The problem is that the CANFOR was out too early. As for the test here in Gagetown. Due to I'm tasked this fall. PSP may...

As I stated, the web site has the training outline. The only ones who have to know are the ones that are going there. No non applicants. PSP still does not have the test sheets or the training package.

Just finished the first half of selection  ;D. There It's no damn secet, just get it from the DWAN CANFORGEN 195 Dec 05. It has it all. :evil: :tank:

Another good friend gone. Rob and I were in the same Sqn for a time also. I haven seen him for yrs., but knew he was around Petawawa. I hope they charge the yng fello bug time. Damn asshole. Rip, Dragoon.

MIKE, RECCE GUY IS RIGHT. The ESSEX TANK WAS ARMOUR (TANK) in the beginning. My father was with them until he was sent to the Recce Corp 1st Recce Regt. It was formed from men around Essex county, some officers came from the Essex Scots, RCD, etc that were around. IT is the ONLY TANK Regt. It...

I have the numbers for the JATF. It was 395 to start. Most are Inf positions. ie out of the 39 WOs 21 are hard Inf. 18 are other badge. As of now, I'm the only Armour WO that has asked for it. Most are to hesitent about asking. There is to be a troop of Engs, Armour, and Arty, as of the last...

I believe this may have been posted. But I add it any way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_and_insignia_of_NATO_Armies_Enlisted

Thats not for just this yr. That is the estimated numbers for the 2-4 yr period. Some of the info was from a Recuiter I know and from St Jean and here at the school. So if you have 351 +351 that would meet the 700 mark. That 700-800 are as stated broken down in 3 catagories. I take the info...

Well Fellas There is no differance between Petawawa and Gagetown. We have 52 Coyotes and they go courses to course, driver to driver. There is approx 700-800 new DP1s,trained,  in training, or to be trained. That makes up about the bulk of replacments, and standing up of the new Sqns. :tank...

No they didn't execute 100s, but they have rounded up some that were just average dumbies, in the wrong place at the wrong time. And yes Resistance fighters did blowup their own. Many French were killed during the attempt to kill a german or two. I read a book, written by a resistance fighter...

I understand your point, writing a quick post never works. What I meant was that, if you are the ones in charge you may the rules. So anything goes as the Germans did in WW2. Also as in France during WW2 some French did not mind the Germans and were very reluctant to have the an invasion...

I believe in a way it was torture. But to the US, their the good guys so. It doesn't count. They the US, say they are for Freedom, Human Rights, BLAH BLAH, etc. But they don't hold by it. For one many detanees in Cuba, Iraq, and A Stan are not terrorists. They were on the wrong side. I saw one...

Matt What a waste, mortars can do a lot, and quicker that mud gunners with a 777. As for it being a Spec veh. I would take one, add a lil, extras such as a side rack, a lil bigger engine, and upgrade the front end.

You better watch yourself. But as far as I know, there is nothing in writing. I spent a few summers down at the Leadership school. And we didn't have to do pushups if it was Extra training. For you cannot supervise the troops. I do know where this is from and going. All I say is suck back. I...

Its a nice lil kick ass veh. It would be great for Light Recce, just as back in the old 1st troop (para) days. Or for a LO or Sig veh. It could be loaded up in a MLVW and used in the A2 or B esh.
