    Pushups- Try Reading Here First- Merged Thread

    You SHOULD worry about proper technique (or form as some call) with push ups (anything really) to ensure you don't grind your shoulders into dust.

    A "First Nations" Unit Merged Thread.

    The writer of that article claims to be former military, I guess he never served in one of those Scot or Irish regiments  ::) If he had then he would know, that some (many) of those regiments formed as a result of local grassroots movement to get that particular regiment. For example the 48th...

    QOR vs 48th Highlanders ??

    There is a difference in what jobs they get, but that applies to every unit. Sometimes it seems like one unit is getting all the Gucci tasks, and your own unit is getting shafted.  Again not something within your control, and ebbs and flows with who is working in the Ops cell of the unit, how...

    QOR vs 48th Highlanders ??

    The QOR also have a jump tasking, but as others have mentioned, lineage and history are quite different, some examples off the top of my, the QOR had a VC winner, participated in D-Day, and at one point had a Regular Force Battalion in the 50s.  The 48th are a Highland unit, so dress uniforms...

    Commentary "Why No One Should Join the Canadian Forces"

    I am sure if you dredge the archives here from the late 90's early 2000s, there are similar articles. In fact it always seems to be the same themes recurring over and over.

    First yellow, you answered your own question. Second yellow, the vetting is done by CSIS.  Information on what they do, and how they do it is something even CFRC's are not privy to and therefore it is definately not publicly releasable information. There is no one in a similar situation as...
