    Anything physical is good.  Cardio, upper body strength, abdominals and just general fitness.  Having your father inspect your room is good, keeps you in good order.  :warstory:

    Of course looking at the ups and down could make one drive to drinking, but myself, I like to see daily activity.  I also lke to keep an eye on other funds too.  I do agree that one should watch the 2-5 year growth rather than just a day to day basis. Buying into the engergy will likely still...

    That's too bad.  Hopefully it will go up eventually, most ones do over time.  I am currently in the Monthly Income Fund, and so far it has done me well.  I havn't been in it too long, but I've made some profit so far. Here is a link to the RBC funds page : ...

    I myself?  Right now I can't because I am on course for a couple years.  If I wasn't on course and I was fully QL3 trained, then I probably would be able to go.  There are many factors that would allow one to go or not.  If you're with the unit that is going, then you'll probably go.  If you are...

    Source documents

    Those documents just carry your posting message and some other information you will need in St-Jean.  You can open it up if you want, it wont really make a difference.  When you get there, they may ask for certain docs at different times, so you will need to be able to access them.

    Spike in Applications

    It works.  But really it depends on what trade you get into.  Certain trades will give you a signing bonus of 10 to 30G depending on ones qualifications.  If one is already skilled in the desired trade, one might get a promotion to Cpl once finished BMQ.
