I don't tend to, but some days you need it cause it gets a little chilly out.

I'm gonna go get some new t-shirts too...geez! I hate wearing white t's anyways.

lmfao! ;D

No issues for me with passing it....this year I am going to go for my exemption. Should be easier now that I am a little lighter..lol The NEIP PT is a great idea, if it was guided PT, but we are basically led into the gym and told to do whatever you want.

Are you serious HfxCrow? That is awesome!! Is Marlant having everyone participate in it? What a great idea!! I had heard something about MarPac doing something similar, but haven't seen anything as of yet. Sig_Des, you are totally right on that....they would eat me for lunch and use my bones...

These are very good points. The program really doesn't do much as far as structure and discipline is concerned, it is still the navy, but it definitely does address the need for more PT. We not only have PT on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but we also have division PT every thursday afternoon...

NEIP does not teach you about being a sailor...thats what NETP is for. Also, so far it hasn't taught me anything about the culture other than cleaning stations.

-doing TOPO in the swamps of St Bruno -friday nights after week 4 -all of Normandy week -party platoon(long story short, 2 guys in coveralls dancing around the floor)

Still waiting on mine and the husbands. Both getting mailed to Halifax. I think this is the first time that I am actually looking forward to filing my taxes.

I was spending $400-$450 a month on groceries for a family of 5...rations are darn expensive. Only bonus is that we don't have to cook it or clean it up afterwards. Nelles isn't all that bad....things are only as bad or tough, as you make them.

The program is a monday to friday deal. Monday morning room inspection, then muster at 1800, then cleaning stations, then lectures until 2000-2100hrs. Tuesday morning muster then muster again at 1800, cleaning stations then PT at the gym from 1845-1945hrs Wednesday morning muster then muster...

Haven't stepped foot in there at all since getting here...almost did last night for wings though...lol

For the last year or so, all new sailors, when arriving in Esquimalt, have had the "honour" of participating in NEIP, the Naval Enviromental Indoctrination Program. The program is meant to help new sailors get accustomed to the navy way of life and to teach us about the different programs...

Congrats on the weight loss!! That's awesome!! I have been doing the diet and exercise thing and have found that I just feel better now. I do indulge in snacks at night(tortilla chips and salsa) and do eat the yummy stuff at the mess, but I make sure to drink lots of fluids(not just beer ;))...

Mine is my BMQ grad picture....I thought it turned out great!!

We did the same thing and it worked out well...and no stinky mops!

Fantastic article!! The best part had to be this "People think that it's so hardcore that most won't make it," says Pte. Ryan Joynt, 24. "But if you want to succeed, they'll help you to succeed." Thanks for posting it!

That was hilarious!! She reminds me of my late grandma!

MRM mentioned age in his thread here.

RFT was started in September 2006 so that those who failed their vo2 wouldn't be sent home(we need recruits)...we could train them and bring them up to standard, then retest. Sounds good to me, and when an old platoon mate of mine was given the opportunity of being part of the pilot platoon, I...
