Hi everyone....I‘m handing in my application monday, and as I put Armour down as one of my choices, I was looking for some information on how one‘s career would start in the armoured corps: 1. After BMQ and the occupational specialty training, do you have a choice as to what type of vehicle you...

Thanks alot JSA, I‘m heading out tomorrow to see if I can find a good 64 or 82 ruck, thanks alot for your advice. Once I get all the stuff, I may need your assistance setting it up :) Hopefully it‘s a straightforward system, I figure getting used to using systems like this will only help more...

JSA- how much do you figure I could grab a 64 ruck for? And any tips on how to keep it watertight (covers, etc)

One last thing guys: I was downtown today looking for some kind of sizeable backpack, and they seem awfully pricey for something along the lines of like a 70 litre pack, especially for one I will have little use for after my trip.

Thanks, I‘ll definately note that one down as well! Do you know much about how I would find out if there are any battlefield tours in the area? Because even though I know alot about the Canadian sites I can always learn more (and I‘m sure they could show me alot of things I could never find on...

Hey everyone, I am going to be leaving to vist Europe for about 1.5 months, and one of my main reasons for going was to visit significant Canadian battle sites. I‘m joining the army when I return (Regular Army Infantry) and I‘ve always wanted to see these places firsthand. My list, currently, is...

they issue fleece in the military? It was my understanding that since it‘s made from recycled plastics, that it can very easily melt to your skin and cause terrible burns.......doesn‘t seem like a great product for the army!

hey guys.... was hoping you guys could completely clarify the step test. I saw the previous link that showed the one step tecumseh test, but as has been previously stated the CF uses three. So are there simply a small set of three stairs in front of you, and you go straight up and then...
