Just to dispell some myths The most push ups they can make you do at a time for punishment is 25, not too say they won't give you multiple sets of 25. It's not always punishment, you're there to get fit. You will do hardly any chin ups. I think I did 4-5 sets in total, after runs. There is no...

They're implementing the c16 course at bn level now? Sounds pretty good over there.

Sounds worse than out west. I felt the direction the army was heading was a very poor one. Having said that I think the group of people that stayed once in positions of authority will try too change it. All though other units may not comply as it can mean extra "work" aka doing your job.

Haha, I concur. I heard they're using that one on a pass/fail basis now.

I assure you that there is nothing in basic training as physically demanding as the tough mudder. As for the obstacle course, it's a joke. You don't even have to be able to do all the obstacles. But basic is for everyone so even the fat people have to be able pass.

Bitbybit, I don't think anyone will think that you chose to sit out on afghanistan. If someone does think that they are probably an incompetent moron whose opinion doesn't matter. The only way people would think less of you is if you can't do your job. As for fitting in as an old guy, they...

You could always go Brits, I think they have it as a job within the forces.

I remember when my platoon was ordered too not go on wikileaks. First thing we did when we got home was go on wikileaks. Didn't find anything that important.

Don't worry you won't only feel like crap, but you'll get too crap into bags while being cold in -40.  ;D and it's always entertaining too watch someone fall over in the process.

There's a change of command parade that I wouldn't mind rehearsing for.

In my opinion Basic para yes, odds are against you. Some people get it in their first year Mountain warfare yes, however only at a basic level Instructional yes, though very rare First aid yes, and more Rappel master, only seen it once Unarmed, only in your basic infantry course. Cbrn, very...

And thus why history is allowed to repeat itself, reference the last sentence.

Good post sums it up Succintly

Service life isn't too rigorous you will have plenty of time for both schooling and the reserves. I don't think your record would be tarnished with previous service. Unless you do something stupid. As puck chaser implied officers do have longer hours, they do have some perks. I don't see grounds...

Ok sheep dog.... "actually If you think gays Should be treated less than equal Your homophobic" That was not said, don't twist things. No one on this entire form has mentioned in the slightest that gays should not be treated as equal. Yet twice you seem to have insinuated that this has been said.

I love how tolerance now means accepting/agreeing with the ideal and or person. It used to mean put up with and allow. Funny thing with that is you don't tolerate my intolerance, therefore you are intolerant. No the flag thing is not a big deal, it's just an underlying symptom of how soft...

Above two posts are bang on I used "during", implying that I know it was not random. If that post was directed at me.

This is a slippery slope to start. Maybe we should raise a jewish star during hanukkah, or the league of muslims flag during ramadan... The list is long. If only there was one flag that represented everyone in the CF and for which it stands. O wait we have one  :cdn: and it's one that people in...

Dry urban ops training culminating in multiple take overs of sea can village. Change leadership positions around, eg, put a sgt in a warrant position, a cpl in charge of a section. Same could be done for section attacks. Dry weapons training, on 50 cal, mortars, c6 sf role. Low level language...

People can be programmed, and the best way too program someone is to generate fear. And tell them that you have a solution and "will solve the problem, if you do what I tell you to do" Global warming has had a lot of opposition from the get go as the science was shoddy at best. I went from gr.1...
