Present company excepted, of course. At least in my case, I know every comment I have posted on this forum has been insightful, intelligent and helpful. No need to check my posting history, you can just take my word on that.

I can say the same about people in the GTA who stayed away from the OPP because they were not interested in working in a small town in the northern Ontario. Provincial Police forces may be what the RCMP should transitioning to, but they will not solve the problem of recruitment as there will...

From Forces.gc.ca's CSD FAQs:

More likely, we would just start posting people to ships by age.

So you want to get into the field of intelligence analysis, working for the government, but don`t feel you can you can do so as a member of the military? maybe you should look here: https://csiscareers.ca/

Given the age/condition of the kit I usually get issued, I doubt this is the kind of item you want supplied by your QM.

People went on dismounted exercises before the CTS ruck existed. You don't need it. As someone in a support trade I can tell you entitlement is based on the unit you are posted to. However, it is more complicated than simply showing up at clothing stores and trading in your old one. It must...

A few years ago I was on a tasking with a WO from CE. He said the plan was to build a new building in the field between LdSH and 1 Sigs. All the little flags/rods in the end of the field closest to 1 Field Amb were, apparently, "soil testing markers."

Seriously man? It took me about 30 seconds on Google: Source: http://www.rmc.ca/adm/index-eng.php

Have you finished an LSVW driver course? If not, I wouldn't get my hopes up about DP 1.0

From the article:

Yes, that is what they mean. So you don`t look like a sloppy dink when walking around for the first few days.

You need to start running more, running is a big part of the PT on BMQ and will be a factor in your follow on training. Get off the treadmill and go outside. Running on a treadmill is a good way to get your cardio up but at this point you need to acclimate your body to the type of running you...

What are you talking about? I am pretty sure the plan is to eventually replace all man-packs/hand-helds with Harris radios and upgrading vehicle installs to next generation GD radios. I'm sure it will be just as successful as the plan to push data comms over EPLRS.

Short of driving your car? None. It appears that Via can only get you to Oshawa so you would still need to get from there to Peterborough. Plus you would be cutting it close getting from St Jean to the Via station. The last train leaves at 1830 and you have to get all the way to downtown...

Based on what? I know a lot of ACISS pers who have taken their BMQ-L elsewhere. You may end up taking it in Wainwright, Shilo or Gagetown. Based off the experiences of the newest guys to be posted in to 1 CMBG it is hard to know where you are going until you get a course loading message...

You need to be there when everyone else is. Otherwise how will people mentor you? Rations and quarters (food and lodging) is provided when you are away from your home unit regardless of the time you serve. When you make contact with a recruiter they will let you know as well as give you reams of...

The army doesn't issue athletic socks, so make sure you bring something you are comfortable running in for morning PT.

I stand corrected on the time off. However, I am not sure what the deal is with SQ/BMQ-L. I know it is roled into the Battle School/DP1 for the regular force guys, I am not sure if the reserves do the same thing and if they do it is taught in discreet mods.
