    Civvies in the dark.

    Yeah I caught about 10 minutes of that show on the history channel the other day. They were showing how the parachute has been used by the military and by fire fighters. I also saw a small segment on NVG and how it is used in the military. This is a good show to shed some light for the civilian...

    Where Has Cadets Taken You?

    Woah sounds like all you cadets got spoiled! When I was in the only places I saw was Borden, Toronto (drill compition) Trenton (air show) and RMC (kingston). The shooting team got to go to Connaught and other cool places. I remember my skill and arms team placed second in the Skill and Arms...

Has anyone...

    Taken a stroll downtown to finally get enlisted

    Thats good to hear that you are able to write the test so early after handing in your app! I had to wait about a month and a half to write mine after my app. Dont sweat it, its fairly easy. I think the best advice is to try not to think to hard on the the questions. (as dumb as that might...

    Civvies in the dark.

    I think there are way to many civvies left in the dark about our Military. The best example of this comes from a conversation with my aunt I had the other day. We were talking about me and how Im starting my BMQ for 031 Infantry in a few weeks, and she wasn't to sure of what our army did. I told...

    Cadets - Edmonton

    Well you cant become an instructor at the age of 15. If you keep at it and become a MCpl or higher you can usually start teaching classes and having your own section or platoon etc. Thats an interesting point you brought up though, seeing how you say you were a Sgt. in the states, I wonder if...

    Cadets - Edmonton

    There isn't basic training for cadets. You can just show up to a parade night (it would be better if you joined in september when everything starts back up from camp) and then you can talk to a CIC, or a CI to help you get started. They will usually start you that night. Teach you the basics of...
