Condolences to the families and friends of the fallen officers. RIP :salute: :cdn:

Ask your Warrant when you get there  ;D  No seriously, if it's not required for your layout (like your conditioner) just keep it in your personal box. Chill out, they won't toss your conditioner.

That article shocked me to say the least, I guess I'm so accustomed to reading all the other crap written about our Military operations in this country's Media. + 1  Nicely written and very refreshing

Contract and restricted release are two different things. You're not obligated to stay in the CF unless you owe obligatory service, received subsidization or signing bonus for your trade. If you went DEO you'll get DEO Salary although it may be part way through basic before it shows on your pay...

My condolences to the crews family and friends. :salute: :cdn:

Thanks for the quick response, please post any more info. you find out on the course loading, next date. Now only if I can get through the recruiting process in two months (along with my verification of prior service and BMQ bypass) and get loaded on that course.  :crybaby: Hopefully there's...

Looking for recent intel. on upcoming course dates for the AC Op QL3 in Cornwall.

RIP Corporal :salute: :cdn:

Thank you Kincanucks for all the valuable advice / information on the recruiting process. I enjoyed your posts immensely. All the best in your future adventures. :salute:

During Div Commander's Inspection watching a member of my platoon salute the Major with his left hand. Watching the same guy then salute the Sergeant Major during the same inspection (at least he did it with the right hand this time). During First Aid Class pointing to the MCpl instructor...

IAP starts when you walk through those lovely doors of the MEGA.  ;D Even though your course won't start officially until the Monday, you'll be doing course related stuff most of the weekend. Take advantage of the time to get to know your platoon members. Chances are you won't be doing any...

use the spell check, you're posts are hard on the eyes. Sopousto ? Is that a spice or something !

OILERS !!!!!!!!!! Bring it home  :)

:rofl: Just a tip, don't tell your staff that when you get to St-Jean. Maybe they should just send you directly to Moose Jaw for Basic Flight training.  ;D Seriously though, good luck with your application.

Just think of the upside, if you pass BOTC you get to do CAP !  ;D

"This compares with the U.S., which has about 1.8 million active service personnel." - Another pointless comparison to the US Military by our media. - Sure the Forces need to do better but years and years of neglect / cuts aren't going to be fixed overnight. Canadians also need to take a...

I would recommend talking to a recruiter and a trip to your local CFRC before doing all this (I assume you haven't done this based on your post), especially if you don't have confirmation that you meet the basic requirements. Start searching, most if not all of your questions have been answered...

Watch out Ducks  :fifty: here come the Oilers !

RIP  :salute:

On my basic (Reg. Force but I don't know why reserve would be any different) our ruck weight varied between 60-80 lbs. The pace also varied between 8-11 minutes per km. We also did marches in full fighting order which were faster (around 7 min / km) so be prepared for those as well. And don't...
