Hey Nutter, You are going to want to scale back on the behind the back chin ups.   They are really hard on the shoulder girdle.   Also behind the neck press as well.   Your shoulders will thank you for it.  Link for more info here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/betteru26.htm Greg

Like I said I am quite happy with my files progress.  25 weeks is BRUTAL! Greg

A few of my faviourites are: Ghost Recon Series Rainbow Six Series America's Army - it's free and it's a pretty good game.  Long download though, so be prepared to wait.  You also have to complete basic training before you can play online. Medal of Honor Series Greg

Sorry man, I live in BC.  It is a great idea though.  I was really lucky.  When I went for my medical, I met another recruit from my small town of Salmon Arm, BC.  We have been working out together for a few weeks now and it does make the km's fly by.  Best of luck in your search!

Sappo - BMQ will depend on the unit.  If there are enough people they will offer it, if not I will have to wait until next summer.  I signed up for the Rocky Mountain Rangers in Kamloops, BC. dr.no - My file was sent to Borden on June 1 and was sent back to CFRC on July 19.  I was originally...

Thanks Allan. Hoser, I made sure that I called every couple of weeks even when they told me that it would be 4 weeks for something to come back.   There was a question on my credit history where I had to provide a letter.   I faxed them a copy and followed up with a phone call to make sure it...

An excellent example on how to behave during the recruitment process. For all those thinking about or going through the process please read FTs account and you might save yourself some frustration and hassle. Our thanks again FT. Ex-Dragoon I decided to join up last December and after some...

Bill is a big fan of the international criminal court.  I can see it now, Bin Laden will say, "Gee we better not perpetrate any more crimes against humanity because we might be tried in the international criminal court."  This is not really great news for the CF. Greg

Just tried Rickard's Honey Brown a couple of weeks ago and have tried it several times since, wait there's some in my fridge right now...later guys Greg :dontpanic:

Hi everyone, the army reserve site appears to be back up and running at http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/LF/english/10_0.asp Greg

RCMP are precluded from joining the reserves.  I would guess that city/regional police forces would have their own rules. Greg

I agree with mclipper, it sounds like you are getting the bum steer.  All of your paper work, references etc, needs to be completed before you do the CFAT.  I would get a second opinion from CFRC. Greg

I have an electronic copy of the application form.  PM me your email and I will send you a copy. Greg

I have always liked the The 13th Valley by John M. Del Vecchio.  I have read it a few times now.

Good handle!  Nurse as needed - clever

You could add some negatives into your routine for a short while anyway.  Do as many positive reps as you can and then immediately jump/push yourself up so that you are at the top, then let yourself down s l o w l y... for 2 to 4 reps.  Do this for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Best of...

Interesting read, couple of good quotes: â Å“There were weapons strewn about the roof by wounded and those who elected to not play on the two way range.â ? â Å“Don't get drunk and stupid. Be drunk or stupid but never both at once.â ? â Å“Weapon, twelve mags, pistol, three mags, MEDKIT, GPS, map...

Wes, I figured as much.  I actually pulled the article off the CF's Spotlight on Military New's site at http://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/spotnews_e.html Is "THE AGE" a pro labour paper? Greg
