It'd be funny to see a MCpl teach a BMQ without knowing what the CF Dress manual is

All I want is a button to turn the GPS on, and a button to give me a 10 fig grid. I don't need to be able to upload maps, plot grids, shoot bearings, etc etc. All of those applications take mere seconds to pull out a map and compass. I am looking for a small personal GPS that I can keep in the...

BMQ (law, dress, drill, C7 service rifle) DP1 Mod 1 (Weapon systems) DP1 Mod 2 (Field and tactics) Then you are fully trained.. Collectively it is roughly 2 months of courses. From there you start to get into speciality courses, leadership courses, common courses, etc

Sounds like it'd be base order thing... Here is something from 381 188. Troops marching on road. When troops are marching on roads in formed bodies, look-outs will be posted at a suitable distance in front and rear of the troops to warn vehicle drivers. These lookouts will also wear the...

Found it The prerequisites for selection to attend the training associated with this qualification are as follows: a. Be qualified Pte(T); b. Be current on the weapons handling test for the C7, C9 and 9mm; and c. Be recommended by the CO. No courses listed as starting anytime soon though. but...

damn that's quite the memory on your staff! In other sense, maybe OP could be a little specific as to his trade so we can narrow this down?

I think the intent of this thread has gone astray. To conclude; work on your personal fitness level, get used to wearing boots and a pack and Dp1 should be a good educational course. You most likely (I cannot guarentee it) won't fail for a lack of fitness during PT sessions. However the...

The world of the reserves, people join, people release, people go to school, people transfer, people find careers. If your CoC is angry with you because you are choosing a path of school while still trying to commit to the reserves (even with a different unit) they should rethink their...

Buddy it's fitness, not rocketscience Just get in better cardio shape. It is as simple as that. Ruckmarches do not take a high level of fitness to complete, there is a reason the LBM (BFT) is a minamum fitness standard...think of how disgustingly low the CAF fitness standard is right now and...

I have never heard of a small arms coaching course? It used to be taught on the infatry DP2B, PLQ, and ASA. Not sure where to officially find it now. Are you possibly referring to the Infantry advanced small arms course? If so, there is no Pres course, it is run through the regforce (although...

I remember there being a publication and/or link regarding the East/West isle forces scenarios as the "approved" CAF training situations. Anybody have a link?

Devils advocate is not a bad approach to take, I didn't even consider the character assassination till it was mentioned but it is definately a possibility. Though we still hold the implied responsibility to do what we can for direction, and I think the most we can do is provide contact...

Anyone in the MO field feel free to trump my answer. As far as my knowledge is concerned, a passed medical / hearing test is a passed test. Shouldn't be a huge issue if it's not, even then with a change in medical category there is something along the lines of a "plead your case" kind of deal...

I agree with some of the above, losing 60 in a year is a great achievement, but since your body has now begun to condition itself, it may be time to start working on your strength as opposed to strictly losing fat. Sure losing fat does help (less weight to carry around) but you will also need to...

Calling the MP's is a viable solution, also contacting the course staff can be something to do as well. From teaching on many courses I can attest to the fact that instructors do notice changes in recruits from day one of course throughout, so your call can shed some further light on a curious...

I know a number of people who have deployed and brought along (or purchased in country) things such as sights, grips, bipods, etc. When on Operation why not? Even if said attatchment only increases the members effectiveness by 0.001%.... That's still better right? Plus persons can develop a...

Don't get a Brigade tattoo... just.... no I have never seen one, but now I am trying to picture someone with a bear, or tower of power, or something. It just seems weird. As for regimental I would stay within the regiment for 5-6 years before considering. Get yourself a name within the unit...

I've seen notive ranging from a few months to a few days. Depends on positions available to the regiment or unit and positions offered. There is also the variable of names being withdrawn from course and new names submitted. Not to mention the dreaded course cancellation.

I have done a search but to no avail and apologies if overlooekd. I see that Canforgen messages need to be released for applications regarding CSOR SFOP. Does anybody know approximately when they release these messages? I checked out the recent years of the CANFORGEN but found mostly officer...
