When preparing for a course, its best to try to match the type of PT you'll be doing on that course.  Running, marching, pushups and situps are the big ones to be concerned about (I'm assuming were talking about getting ready for BMQ).  Runs on the BMQ course top out around 6Km, theres only so...

Read the Executive Summary.  Doesn't sound like there was much there.

Good to hear, I didn't like the answer I originally got so I'm happy to hear that they put more effort into chasing it down.  You might have to write a letter to get IAP/BOTP waived.  Talk to the Lts there, they had to write one for their Ph 3 Qual.

You'll have the weekends off after the end of week 4 if you earn them.  Some you will, some you won't.  Don't bring too much stuff, there isn't much room for it and you have to lock it up in a room that other recruits in your platoon will have access to.

I can't believe this is news. I think the Taliban or Taliban sympathizers are behind it. 

Lee is a military history prof with the Gregg Center at UNB (http://www.unbf.ca/arts/MSS/.  I'm pretty sure he was in the West Nova Scotia Regiment while at Acadia university and he might have been with 8 CH for awhile.  He has been working on this project for a long time now.  He followed 2RCR...

Good to look at it from multiple directions I guess.  Still isn't on the website.

When the officer from the Armour School asked the German Col at the COIN Symposium if he had any tanks to sell him I thought he was joking.

I missed this tonight on PBS, looks like the video is supposed to be up on 12 Apr 07. http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/afghanistan604/?campaign=pbshomefeatures_1_frontlineworldbrafghanistantheotherwar_2007-04-10

A Sgt in my company is in the show, can't wait to give him a hard time next week.

I ran a search on the draft document and could only find one paragraph about natives, it was a side note and referenced radical native organizations that essentially commit crimes to achieve their goals.  It doesn't sound like new information to me.  "Saskatchewan" and "North West Canada 1885"...

LCol Lavoie made a comment on Wed in Gagetown at his presentation about wanting a dropleg mag pouch since guys always have their rifle but don't always have their vest on.  He also said the Tacvest was good, but that you just can't always access the mag pouches in the prone  :(

"300" The So-Called Program BY MARK TWIGHT http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=35 Buzz about the movie “300” increases in volume as its release date approaches. Because we were responsible for the fitness and appearance of the barely-clothed protagonists we are fielding calls regarding...

One storey like this is no big deal, a storey a day like this will sink the will of the country.

Makes sense, they don't use them the same way we do.  They stand/squat on them, we sit on them.  Anyone work on the bases in 1999 when the Kosovar refugees were there?  If you did you'll understand what I'm getting at.

Yup.....

Not good, especially after Haditha.  But, I wasn't there so its hard to comment.

And we're actually still hundreds of officers short, there isn't one trained platoon commander in four platoons where I'm currently employed (LFAA TC).  Sounds like our manning priorities might be a bit mixed up. 

$60 is what I was told by a Royal I work with, haven't talked to anyone that works there but I saw a pair of re-soles desert boots in a display case in the kitshop.
