And again, striving to recruit minorities always leads to inequality. Apply the budget, recruiters and so forth to low income areas, then they'll see a boost in minorities overall as well as white folk. Their current advertising campaigns suck so much ass it makes me cry. Need to show some...

Was just a guess  :P

Wait...the only thing that I'm aware of without looking into it further...besides the Oath  ;)

I want a brass magnet and a skyhook, can you go pick one up for me please?  >:D Americans wear their's upside down from us, probably done to differentiate themselves back from the English, etc during their revolutions and so forth. The only thing that changes is the crown on badges, etc.

Every time I see a death of a Canadian Armed Forces member it brings back memories of 2 people who I counted as friends who sacrificed themselves for the good of another nation. I can only imagine how the families feel. :salute:

I'd agree, I did NOT like Robert Downey Jr. at all before this movie and didn't give 2 hoots about Iron Man, but a few friends hauled me out to see it and WOW, I was amazed. Best superhero type movie in a LONG time, far surpassed that garbage that was Spiderman 3, and IMO was the best Marvel...

I thought this was about Ninja Turtles, then I saw politics and got disinterested. :(

:rofl:

I choose AVS tech as my trade. Don't know if that's holding it up or not. I do, however, know that there are new BMQ's starting up every week, was told this directly from one of the fellows that actually instruct the course who just left there. I got a baby due at the end of the month (May...

The podgy old PO with bad teeth, looked like a mineshaft with busted timbers. And he leaned against everything he could find. I distinctly remember one of our course sergeants on basic got torn up for reaming the recruits over "holding up the walls" meanwhile he was doing it all the time, with...

Anyone had a call that completed their interview/medical/etc from Halifax as of early / Mid April? Still waiting for my call...I think they forgot about me. Heading into the 3rd or 4th week after I've been merit listed (think 3rd), how long did it take you guys?

Garett...I was there in 2000 in the summer...did my basic starting in '99. The only thing to watch out for at Aldershwitz is the marshes, loose sand, temperature and the local Greco Pizza. I have no doubt they keep a tight rein on old rivalries and dislikes.

LOL that guy...wonder if he ever saw a dentist in his life. Also wonder if he got jacked up for appearing to be a slovenly slob.

Since I made my post I have 2 more people going to the recruiting center. I think I should get a commission for this  ;D And only if I'd actually get MY call...sigh...the wait is killin me 

If they want to inflate the recruits of any type, minority or not, they have to do something besides Basic Up to show the path into the military and the ways of life that can be had. So many people are under the stereotypical impression that as soon as you sign the line your life is over, you...

I enjoyed it overall, pretty much what I thought Basic was going to be when I make my return to the uniform. But for some reason, I kept having the urge to go surfing or watch porn...

As a few have mentioned , the forces are taking a more friendly approach these days, much more so than they have in the past. To the point that during my interview the officer told me that if I am doing well on Basic they *may* give me leave over a weekend to see my baby that is due the end of...

Why how did you ever know  ;D There were a couple of higher ranks at the time that also gave some troubles. I came back 11 minutes late one day and got put in front of the course CO regarding this, was fined $75. All well and done because I missed Sunday muster when we were all supposed to be...

I  100% agree Eye, rivalries are a positive thing but the negative portion of this was favoritism to their recruits and the deal that the Novies got. Our whole course except 1 Mcpl, the Captain and a sargent were PLF, they were the ones that reported this issue.

"If your going from Res to Regs Im pretty sure that you hand in your gear back to the unit. I dont think this is whats done in the regs when you go from unit to unit." -RTaylor "Remember that you will have to complete an Outclearance of your Reserve Unit.  That will involve turning in whatever...
