Exactly, it was probably first invented for hunting birds. It would be very difficult to hit a duck flying away from you at 40kph and 100ft alt with a rifle. The shotgun makes shots like that realistic, once you learn how to lead your target. As for why police forces and militaries around the...

No. 6 months means 6 months. It‘s the same for everyone. They are not in a hurry to hire anyone who smoked drugs as little as 4 weeks ago.

I saw the last 30 minutes or so, where the main focus was on the one guy who refered to himself as "a mushroom". In my opinion, it seemed to me that they forgot to build him up after they broke him down. He seemed to belive he was little more than a pylon, who did chores when he told. He had...

I‘m curious about training differences between courses run over the winter (ie DP1 Inf 0501 â “ 11 Jan â “ 5 Apr 05) and those that are run over the other 3 seasons. Is the course run identicaly no matter the season, and it‘s just your tough luck to land on a winter course? Or during those...

Are you permited to continue using protein and vitamin supplements during basic?

June 5th?

I see. I was just thrown by your use of the term "cardiovascular strength" in reference to weight training. I think the term that would be more appropriate would be "muscular endurance" training. High repetitions with a low amount weight = endurance training. Even with low weight the max...

Interesting. You say work out with a champion body builder? What exercises do you do with "hi reps and low weights" to improve your cardiovascular strength? How many reps are we talking? So you indicated that adding weight to chin-ups was something that your body building, championship...

Actually, they send your finger prints to CSIS. They are then sent a hard copy of your criminal record and depending on the seriousness of your offence they will either accept a verbal explaination, or put you through a process to determine wether or not to grant you Enhanced Reliability...

The Outdoor Life Network has gone way off the original schedual for TDV. I‘ve been trying to watch it, but they keep changing the showing times, and they keep throwing in reruns. I stayed up late on Thursday night to watch the Helicopter episode that was schedualed on the OLN TV listings. It...

Most people wear a suit, or nice dress clothes. It‘s completely up to you, but keep in mind that you are trying to make a positive impression to the interviewer. He or she is likely to be very skilled and picky about judging someones appearance, so try to take care of skuffs on your shoes, run...

Deleted post. I was off topic, and talking crap.

What is a boot band?

I love this passive aggresive post where you dismiss everything I said while still trying to act as though you appreciate the advice. Just for a point of interest, I know people personally at my gym who train chin-ups who work for the fire dept, and for various police dept‘s. They wear heavy...

I just did my "update" test on Monday. They used the mat. However, don‘t be suprised if they don‘t use it, or even if they do things that you‘ve never heard discussed. It seems to me that policies regarding everything are subject to change at a moments notice. The first time I did my test, I...

With a body resistance exercise, you SHOULD NOT add any weight whatsoever until you are close to doing enough repetitions that you are putting yourself at risk for a repetetive strain injury. Pushups, pullups, situps, torrso raises, are all examples of exercises that do not require any weight...

You have to meet the minimum requirement. Your best bet is to ask a recruiter about the "proper" way for females to do pushups. I don‘t know myself if females are allowed to do them from the knees. However, If you have to do them the same way as the men, then I would recommend reschedualing...

Yes

Does anyone know when seniority begins? Is it the day you are sworn in? The day you begin basic? Or the day you join your unit?

Well, they should have mentioned to you at the interview that you SHOULD NOT put your life on hold while waiting for an offer. It is competetive, and you could potentially be passed over for any number of reasons. If you are confident that you are a good candidate, then perhaps you should be...
