If I may, I would like to put my .02 in on this topic.  I thought one of the strengths of the Canadian Forces was the ability of its personnel to do many different things?  IMO, over specialization will result in less people being able to do a particular job.  For example, in the civvy world...

It is a squeeze.  If you are deadlifting, your grip is probably fine.  If you are still worried, add some wrist curls or buy yourself a "gripper" (two handles between a heavy duty spring). Goodluck with your training, oh yeah, and join the football team.  You will get lots of running with them...

Join a beginners run club.  You will learn proper running technique, nutrition, etc. and running with a group will help with your motivation. Best of luck, Greg

In my experience, once your Regiment receives your file you should be in right away.  This of course will be dependent on whether they are parading or not.  I believe most units stand down during the summer. Greg

My recruiter took my completed "Preparing for your Interview" sheet with the rest of my package.  When they are doing the interview, I am sure that they refer to it, so make sure you take a copy of it.  Something I did, was to cut and paste the info from the CFRC website and then reformat it and...

Got my call today and I will be sworn in on September 2nd. Thanks again, Greg

Good post Infanteer, I had heard about the MSA system awhile ago but hadn't had much chance to research it.  Couple of quick con's; Because people are "spending" their own money are they going to put off going to the Doctor thereby increasing the chance that the illness has a chance to really...

Why do you think that some of the European healthcare systems are better then Canada's? The problem is not how much is spent, but HOW it is spend. We just throw money at it, without any control. If you give a hospital $10 million a year for example for its costs, it will use every cent, there is...

The Minister of Defense should be someone who at least likes the Military...

You're kidding right?   Which health and social programs should we get rid of?   The healthcare system is broken and does need to be fixed, but hoping that it will collapse is ludicrous.   Canada, in 2000, spent $2,058 per capita on health care or 9.1% of GDP.   The Americans, for comparison...

I did 3 levels in my test.  I would contact your tester and ask them if you passed or not.  I would imagine they would have told you if you hadn't, but probably better to double check. Greg

That's PERFECT, ROTFLMAO! ;D Greg

Hey Marine, I just cut and pasted the article, but I am glad that I am your little acorn??? I think so anyway ???   Anyway, what is a real Marine press up?   I understand it is a push up, but what makes it 'real'? Thanks, Greg p.s.  Sorry Dogboy for hijacking your thread.  I had to keep my...

So I am looking for a Marine Press up on the 'net because "A real press up is a Marine Press up", and I come across this article, "Walking the Walk, Talking the Talk, in the Royal Marines" and I thought I would post it so that we can understand some of what Marine837M's is talking about.   I...
