Even though the mod i'll be doing is only 2 weeks long?

Yes, you will do some first aid & CPR during basic training, so might as well save your money. Cheers  :cdn:

Simply,....nope.

Yup & as one of the instructors on that course, definitely changed the schedule a wee bit.  But pretty much all of training area F was burned up that day, including 2 porta-potties! Most interesting ex i've been on in quite a while myself!

As a reservist, I totally agree.  Our training isn't the same, & quite honestly it shouldn't be absolutely identical.  The simple fact of the matter is that the Reg force guys are the "experts", if you will, of their trade. They constantly train to learn & improve everything involved with their...

This course is in Gagetown & needed to get promoted to Sgt (at the current moment  ;)).  Does anyone know if the express test is an absolute MUST? Because the 2 mods that are currently offered (ranges & small arms teaching) are only 2 weeks each in length & i 'm thinking not a lot of time to...

Not too sure about a cadet corps...haven't heard anything but unless they use the space on a different night, i doubt it.

Not necessarily a bad thing!!  ;D

My annual ritual involves games at Georgetown, Fergus & if i'm lucky....Glengarry games in Maxville, ON!!!  I love a guy in a kilt!!  :-*

That was cruel & unusual punishment!! If i had a seizure disorder i would've smelt "burnt toast"  :P

No, we'll have our A COY still parading in Toronto at the Fort & our newly developed 75th COY will parade in Mississauga (back to the old roots).

Only English, & quite fluent in the language of "cursing". ;D  :cdn:

What's a matter Swanita you don't want to be a member of the GREATER METROPOLITAN (INCLUDING 905 BELT) TORONTO HIGHLANDERS (48TH, TORONTO & LORNE SCOTTISH)  Don't laugh when I was in, it was a common topic in the Sgt's Mess re amalgamating with the cross town competition. Not saying anyone at...

Good ol' Leclair: Nah....he would be able to remember why he was about to jack you up any longer than the first or second word. he tried to crap on me for being late once and about mid-sentence he asked my why i was so damned early !! My fav was when i was before him for my charge being read...

Ok, here's the most important thing u need to know (been teaching for a while now, plus remember from my own way back when..) it's all mental. When there's screaming, don't take it personally it's part of an instructor's job (a perk i like to call it).  As long as you don't take things too...

Toronto Scottish Regiment , my father was with the Blackwatch (RHR) reserve unit in Montreal

My thing is how i keep hearing rumours of the highland regiments being amalgamated into one or two big regiments....Now THAT would totally suck the big c*#k because then one regt's traditions/history would be gone in a flash & that would be un-Canadian. I personally love being in a highland...

See, now NATO Boy posted a list I can actually identify with. The other ones were sketchy, but NATO Boy'd list hits home for me. heh.. pogs. That's cause lots of you are way too young & probably weren't even a twinkle in mommy & daddy's eye.....ah, 80-90s were the good ole days!! By the way...

Those are handy little books, i just wish i had gotten my hands on one when i could've. Just hoping someone "misplaces" theirs one day  >:D They're especially useful when teaching bmq on their "field" weekends & just a useful quick reference!! They should bring those back instead of wasting...
