    1st air defence...

    Spazz, as you are new here I would like to give you a friendly advice, the regulars here dont like it when you have avatars of regiments you aren't or weren't in, especially when it comes to something like the CAR.   Just a word of advice, if I were you I'd change it before someone really gets...

    Self Evaluation and Preparing for Fitness Test & Course.

    I wouldn't advise doing any running during week 3, because there is high risk for stress fractures and other such problems that would really put you out.   Don't worry about the handgrip test, you shouldnt have a problem with it (people rarely do) For the chinups you might want to try doing...

    Self Evaluation and Preparing for Fitness Test & Course.

    Canadian recruiters are incompetent

    I've never had any problems with CFRC Vancouver, the staff were very nice everytime I had to go do testing and every time I call for an update the people who answer the phones are very courteous (when they answer their phones   :P ).   The Captain who did my interview was really nice and gave me...

    Health Services Recruiting : NCM / NCO

    In most cases the reserve unit wouldn't have sent the application into the CFRC unless they had spaces available.  That is what I was told when I talked to the recruiters at the reserve unit I'm applying for.

    BMQ and SQ in the FALL

    Since I am obviously in error, I apologize for giving the misinformation in the first place.  I was not aware of the changes to the programs.

    BMQ and SQ in the FALL

    Unless they have changed this SQ is not offered as a weekend course, only the full time deal, also you would do your SQ before your MOC QL3 training.   BTW, what trade are you going for?

    How good is our training?

    Hi, I was wondering how well Canadian training compares to other first world nations, say for an Infantryman, and how long is our training compared to other nations/   Also can you be deployed straight after Battle School here or do you have to be in a regiment for a while first? Thanks.

    Running: Training, Problems, Techniques, Questions, etc

    Mista Mo, you might also want to try jogging on a treadmill, its a great way to start out (worked great for me) and that way you know exactly how far youve gone and how fast your going, but the units are usually in miles so you will have to do some conversions.
