My dad was one of those individuals.  Him and his friends went to the states, signed up as a joke, but that passed once they got the call.  My dad was over there for 2 years......Lets just say there are some residual effects from what happened over there, as I'm sure with many veterans.

You might get "teased" about it initially but unless you do not participate in the PT, then shouldn't be a problem.

32 Brigade is holding 2 "pre-course" weekends to complete SHARP training and first aid instructions.  This is to ensure that all material is taught on these courses as time is an issue this year and to ensure that max attendance of all pers on Stalwart Guardian in August.  It IS mandatory or...

Thanks gunner....I've sent you a PM.  I also want to say thanks to everyone who's replied as well.  Valuable input received...if there's more please keep it coming.  I do realize that if I did go regs, I know it won't be 100% hands on patient care.  But as long as I'm not only doing paperwork...

It sorta helped, but still need to know if it's a more boring job in regs than if I stayed in the civvie world.  Is it all paperwork? How much hands on is there in dealing with patients?  This will be a big factor in determining whether I make the "big switch" from reserves to regs. Thanks for...

I can relate to this cause i've had it when i was younger playing vollleyball in highschool & it's starting to make it's way back.  Sounds like it might be what's called a "ganglion" which is essentially a bunch of nerve endings pocketed together....hence the pain.  From what my doctor told me...

l Well from the BMQs I taught on, you're on the go from friday night until usually dinner time on sunday & I would HIGHLY recommend that you do not do a sunday night shift because I can guarantee that you'll be WAY too tired to work (I've tried & just wasn't working for me).  You should be ok...

Now, I haven't been to gagetown in a few years....but there's a pool in the gym & there used to be a pool near the front gate behind what used to be bleachers & the canex.  Not entirely sure if that one is still there, but the pool in the gym should still have their pool.

Hi everyone, Before i begin, I HAVE done a search on this & didn't find exactly what i was looking for.  Right now I'm an RN working on a surgical unit & currently upgrading my education to a BScN, which will be done by next summer.  I'm also in the infantry reserves & have been for 9 years. ...

Hi everyone, This is just an update on our fundraising..... We are doing quite good but could be a wee bit better  :).  A couple of us are nearing our goal, but we still need everyone's assistance to reach our team's goal of raising $10,000.  If you go back to the initial message by Trinity...

If only as many people as those now serving....or who have served....put as much effort into remembering & showing respect for all those men who gave their all.  Lest we forget.......... :cdn:

I was just gonna say that too!

You will definitely get a ID before or just as starting your course as you'll need that.  As for the dog tags, if you've filled out the required form, it could take a few days or longer....as with everything, it depends.  I'm only speaking for the reserves as i would hope the reg force would get...

All that needs to be said about these is......NICE!!  :P Oh Canada!  :cdn:

Here's a pic taken end of april this year....expect the unexpected in meaford ALWAYS!!

It's a little more of a pain in the arse because you have to keep turning your "army mode" on & off between weekends, but then again by the end of next summer you should be fully qualified in your trade instead of waiting another summer for your trades course.  At times it may seem to drag on...

Well, i can tell you from experience that my team from my regiment has a posting under military current issues (something like that) under military support for breast cancer. We've actually gotten about $450 from people on this site & we have to each raise $2000 for us to participate in the...

Really? Cool, what's their team name? We shall keep our eyes out for them!  :cdn:

Well, (& I'm NOT comparing us with the Americans) I just wanna say that in my unit (Toronto Scottish Regiment, infantry), we have a female Sgt who is WAY more competent than some of the males of her rank. She kicks some serious ass at times & a lot of people in my unit & others, think she's...

How 'bout a good ol' fashioned bike  ;D Just kidding....
