Another option no one mentioned is to install a Windows virtualisation software. Recently discovered Parallels Desktop, but there's also Crossover, VMware and Virtual PC. I think though that Parallels has the best take on it though (run Windows, Linux, etc). It can run quite a few games, but...

Well, I wouldn't say that going from Vista to XP, i.e. less-than-ready OS to a proven one, is going backwards... hehe. That's what I hate with MS OS, they make you pay for their errors and let the users finish the quality control they can't do. Ever since Mac OS X came on the market, there's...

Effectivement. Tu saisis les subtilités des Forces rapidement! :D Ça n'a pas été dit, mais boire beaucoup d'eau la veille aide vraiment, même si tu peux en douter. 2-4 litres durant la journée/soirée. Ton corps travaille mieux s'il est bien hydraté. Pour le riggage du ruck, demande aux...

Effectivement, la ceinture est vraiment le minimum requis; c'est une ceinture en tissu avec une boucle en plastique.  Celle-ci peut briser, spécialement quand il fait froid, ce qui fragilise le plastique. Mais on peut la boucler sur les hanches et une fois que le ruck est bien rempli (rien ne...

C'est ce qui est prévu en milieu opérationnel. Cependant, ce n'est pas ce que j'entend, le poids est bien plus souvent au-dessus de 50 lbs. Évidemment, je ne pense pas que les soldats marchent des distances de 13k avec 60-70+ lbs sur le dos. Ma recommendation n'était pas celle de prendre plus...

;) Ok, ok... donc, ceux qui peuvent prendre plus devrait pas le faire? On s'entend que le QS est peut-être pas l'endroit afin d'essayer ça, mais quelqu'un qui s'entraîne et augmente la charge et/ou la vitesse de 10% devrait être confortable. Faudrait en jaser avec un PSP juste pour voir. Ceci...

Ouin, opérationnelles... disons que l'accent est beaucoup plus mis sur la forme physique depuis que le CEMD a émis sa directive. L'endurance en fait partie et un des moyens pour être plus endurant est bien sûr la marche avec poids. Ceci fait, à mon avis, dans un contexte à saveur...

La formation d'un officier d'infanterie se déroule en 4 phases: cours de base (phase 1; IAP/BOTP), phase commune de l'armée de terre (PCAT ou CAP, phase 2), commandant de peloton démonté (IODP ou D.P. 1.1 ou phase 3) et commandant de peloton monté (D.P. 1.2 ou phase 4). Côté physique, ne...

Sometimes it's 5 mins, other it's 30 mins. Always, the food is good at St-Jean, I mean great. Most of the time, we had between 10 and 20 mins. Over that, and even 20 mins, you have time to relax. I remember this particular meal at Farnham. End of Ex Vimy week, had slept like 12 hours during the...

As for Officers going to Fort St-Jean, my buddies are there. They will have shuttle buses to go to the Mega every day. They moved there the day after the parade, I tell you, it's very tight in there. They were as happy as us to see us leaving. About same or different courses, I know the...

They already moved CFLS students out of the Mega to Fort St-Jean. I heard they would move the PAT platoon out (to Fort St-Jean), don't know if it's done. Staff personnel told me that they would probably add a third time slot for meals. Currently, you have 11:35 and 12:15. That would make sense...

Platoon Commander told us that they had already analysed critiques for the IAP and that it would be different for the January serials. BOTC will have to change too (ie comments in this thread and more). Our platoon did a very thorough course critique. Lots of people were disappointed, but I'm...

We (B0078F) walked all the way up to the northern fence... Don't know about the distance we covered, but at least 15-20 km/24 hours. That would make something like 60-80 km in the boots... Hopefully, when the staff noticed that we were starting to have really slow down (some were already injured...

Morning inspection, my roommate answers to the sergeant without mentionning his rank at the end of the sentence, here's the following: Sgt: Yes, what? Ocdt: Yes. Sgt: Yes, what!? Am I a dog?? Ocdt: Yes. Sgt: What!? Ocdt: Uh, no. I mean, no Sgt. Hmmm, hard not to laugh out loud when you're next...

The first time I seriously expressed the idea of joining the army was in 2003, as I was in Hamburg. The family I lived with was bearing 4800 all the way and didn't have a high opinion of armed forces. I guess you have all types of people everywhere, be it in Quebec or elsewhere. Anyway, I think...

Having studied in literature and having been part of a left-leaning group while at university, I fully expected bad reactions upon telling people that I was joining the CF. Well, I never had any bad comments to my utter surprise. Like what was said here, there's pro-army and anti-army...

Leaving tomorrow for 45 mins car ride ;D

Je suis sur ce cours. Pour ton info, il n'y a qu'un seul cours en français pour les officiers qui commence le 28 août. Les trois autres sont des cours en français (3).
