    CamelBak Topics

    Having done a lot of mountain biking over the last six years, my buddies and I like to stick to the powdered gatorade and water mix, since that stuff is pretty cheap and gets you all the electrolytes and fluids you need. When I was fourteen, I decided it would be a brilliant idea to empty a 2L...

    Thanks slamball, that clears up a lot. Guess we get to do even more waiting this summer. ;)

    Hmm, I was told by the captain who did my interview that students already in civy U going into ROTP do their BMOQ before going into their next year, but I wondered how that would be possible considering offers take a long time to get out and such. Seems to be a lot of misinformation flying...

    Although I can't find the post right now, I have read on this forum that you do keep your MCpl paygrade at RMC. I will keep looking for the particular post.

    Bergen or not to Bergen..

    Just a quick question, what distinguishes a bergen from a rucksack or an expedition pack? Is it the fact that it is designed to sit above a soldier's webbing or is it just a British term for a pack in the 100L range? I haven't been able to scrounge many other clues from google, so forgive my...

    Looking to join up!

    That is difficult for us to say since we don't know what shape you are in, how long it would take you to get in decent shape, etc. If you need a year to build some muscle or lose some weight then it may be worth putting the application off for a few months, since there is no point in showing up...

    http://forces.ca/en/centres/findarecruitmentcentre-110#rg-0 I know it says recruitment centres but if you select your location is shows all regular and reserve units in that area. Good luck

    Are We Raising a Generation of Helpless Kids?

    I have some friends who, even though they were fully capable and would have excelled, opted to not take the honours level courses in high school. Those same friends are with me now in first year, and the difference between them and those who got the hard work done early is palpable. It is up to...

    The Manly Thread

    In my engineering ethics lecture a few weeks ago, the professor felt it would be an appropriate use of time to explain the function that describes an engineer's problem solving ability versus the number of beers he/she has consumed. He had factors that took into account body weight, the...

    Combat Engineer Interview Questions

    There is lots of information on this site if you search for it. A good place to start would be the Engineers  in the Combat Arms section of this forum. I agree with Wilamanjaro in regards to what types of questions will be asked. To sum it up, as others on these forums have said before, know...

    RCMP pwns Newspaper Editor

    First thing I thought to myself upon reading his article, seeing as he has "..been a journalist for 27 years..". "..who was so upset she got physically sick and was in tears hours later,.." Looks like someone needs to grow a spine, seeing as the video footage reportedly shows a "..calm...

    Father Teaches Ungrateful Daughter a Lesson... this is awesome

    Coming from personal experience, I think it is the way that rules are laid out and discipline is enforced that dictates whether a child will feel the need to rebel. Both my parents are South Africans, and they raised me in Canada the way they were raised in SA. They were the strictest adults I...
