The last thing I heard was that they are still figuring it out. There is a rumour going around that they are going to grandfather people in, and they won't have to do it. The last batch of people who got promoted to Sgt were initially "provisional" and it was changed because they haven't got...

It seems that they have installed them: http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles/20056301044.asp

Load the paper into the printers in the message centre. Maybe if you're lucky you will re-ink the stamp pads... I honestly have no idea. Probably working in the message centre though.

Folds canvas.

I have been mixing in some crossfit and changing my workouts up a bit. I still run a lot and bike a lot as well. I've noticed that i have more muscular endurance and still have some 'oomph' left when riding up hills or through technical spots on the trails. I am leaving my riding friends behind...

Wouldn't it be inadequate, because its a top-loader? A zip-open pack would allow you to see everything you need instead of digging around for that iv in the bottom of the bag...

Its because the metal capbadge is no longer in use! That is it, that is all.

Welllll.... Maybe they're trying to send a message - there are a lot of people in the branch whose way of thinking is obsolete... there is a lot of gear that is obsolete... training...  ;) Maybe what they are referring to is the metal capbadge itself?

The olympic weightlifting stuff is really dangerous if you jump into without instruction. People trying to overhead squat 90 lbs or deadlift their bodyweight without working up to it...

I'm curious to see what people think about it after being formally trained. A lot of the exercises require good technique, and you can only develop it with training. Are you on the course paracowboy? I'm curious to hear about how they implement the program within the BN once the trainers are qual'd.

Is anyone involved in the upcoming CrossFit certification seminar at 3 VP? www.crossfit.com - its on the front page, right side under upcoming crossfit events.

The JTF fitness manual is not that special, its just level 5, 6 and 7 of the Army fitness manual. Its not designed to be a sustainable workout, its designed to get people ready for selection. Its not the holy secret bible of workouts - sheesh! Just do CrossFit with some distance running, throw...

Urban cam - jeans and a tshirt.

Yeah, they maybe 'special' but there are still clerks, cooks, mechanics, sigs  ;)

Why not a year long Pashto course? ::)

Where I work, we have to get exempt on the EXPRES, pass the BFT and attempt to get 75 on the Cooper's test (as a personal fitness check but mandated by the boss). Lots of people are nervous and I hope that it will encourage them to leave...  ;)

I have to do it and I'm not in an Army Bde... That is not an accurate statement.

The one I have seen appears to come in woodland dpm as well... Perhaps an earlier trial version? Why we wouldn't just contract Arcteryx or MEC to do a pack, I'll never understand (well I do understand how projects in Ottawa work... so nevermind.) They could even just scrap it now and buy Kifaru...

You will see the policy regarding pers aged 56+ changing (50+ I believe) as CFSPA is currently doing the study to determine the EXPRES standards for that age group.
