Wow, i don't think you'll have too much fun because (& especially on basic) that is all you're doing is stuff that mash the knees.  :crybaby: May i suggest you go to Costco or some bulk place to buy the supreme large bottles of ibuprofen!!! You'll need it! Oh & good luck i hope they don't...

I had a good experience when i got mine out! (THANK GOD)...I'm a nurse & know of all the horrors that could happen & was still scared sh*tless!! But the cocktail of nitrous, demerol & valium.....man that stuff gives you the funniest feelings & dreams!! I didn't feel a thing & the pain after the...

I have no idea how it's set up over there, but i did my QL3 in Meaford all in a mod tent but they have concrete slabs set up for each tent with a pole holding 2 electrical outlets. Kinda like a step-up of regular camping but i loved it because inspections weren't as harsh...eg, no floor to wax...

I personally am WAY too lazy to get up at that time of morning to run unless i know that there's a Sgt or WO waiting downstairs to charge my ass if i'm not there  ;D.  I'm also a late evening person unless going to the gym, then i'm a mid-dayer! I don't do mornings unless i absolutely HAVE to!! ...

But what's the point after 60yrs? What good could come out of this? Typical gov't screw-up as usual that messes up people's lives (those people who've probably actually been productive the whole time here, unlike others). Just my opinion, please don't rag on me too hard if anyone disagrees!!  :D

Where the hell did u get that root canal?!?!? Mine only took an hour and a half!!

I thought so  ;D

Not reading too much into it, i just think that maybe spending a million dollars on videos could be better spent elsewhere. Maybe in more staff to deal with the 26,000 applications you mentioned to increase processing times. Why do they need to change anything with the current videos & stuff...

Yeah but do you think that the "whole story" will be told? Just for the sake of getting their 5000 recruits? Doubt it. We all know that only the good points regarding a particular trade will be highlighted in these videos.

I wouldn't count on getting in for summer alone, have a back-up for the summer if you need to work.  I can't speak for the reg force but i know that sometimes it can take a while from handing in your application, until the day you start course.  I guess it also depends on the regiment you plan...

I work in a hospital & know that it only takes about an hour (from blood collection to testing & then results posted on our computer) for the typing, but obviously in civvie land we never get results that quick. However, just tell your doc (or where ever you decide to go) that if possible, to...

But depends on what base, cause might not have easy computer access or the time for it, but phones are everywhere. I'd stick to the telephone banking cause they also have those toll-free numbers so no paying there either!!

That isn't just BMQ, it includes SQ and the 8 day long ex in Petawawa that everyone taking a summer course will be going on.  If you look at how long the weekend BMQ is, it works out to pretty much the same amount of time.....10 course weekends, 20 full day & 10 evenings (the Friday evening)...

Damn!! That's a lot of closures. I didn't click on the link but did it explain the reason for the closures? There's more in one state than probably 3 provinces or more!

Holy crap, those were too funny!!!

For the woman one you forgot to add.....wash with Dove body wash..somewhere after the hair.  :P

a I heard it was some dumb 19 year old chick who cut the truck off....But a sad, sad day none the less  :crybaby:

Oh well, won't hold that against you!  ;D But glad things turned out & have fun when you do start your course!!

My recruits got there vests a couple weeks ago.  I think that most get them at least near the end of BMQ & i'm sure that it'll eventually replace the webbing totally.

Joining reg force? Not too sure about that exactly, but for reserves i have a private in my section who just completed BMQ with the same condition.  My unit is an infantry reserve unit. But i would definitely ask before bothering with the whole application process just to be turned down at the...
