+1 At least he's being honest about it though.

Yes. I feel like I should also mention that there are dozens of threads (beaten into the ground at that) regarding preparation for BMQ.

My most vivid CQC memory is the hour long "warm up" before the 6-8 hours of high kicks and wrist locks.....

I think you're missing the take-away point as to why they changed it.  ;) I doubt very much that the potential for injury during training is why its been changed.  I would assume its more so to do with the real world application.  If they just took out all the things you have to do on BMQ that...

You'll get issued one when the Army decides you need one. No All trades get trained on the C7 Rifle in Basic. Is this for a civilian firearms license your talking about?

Your six years service includes the time you will spend in training.  Your six years is based on how much time the Army has to spend sending you on course. That is why the contract is longer for Medics than other trades that only require a 3 year contract. Mhmm, why do you think I'm so...

Mhmmm, unless of course your Recruiting Officer comes into work right out of it and accidentally gives you a 4 year contract to sign instead.  Not saying that happens or anything...**cough** Good luck at BMQ

Hmmm let me think... Nothing!! ...and this is because I have the worst bloody luck when it comes to that sort of thing!!  I drink a double-double almost everyday and have never never won a damn thing.  And if I do strike it big and win the Rav4, it will probably get freakin' stolen outside a...

You know it mate.  :nod: Cheers for the advice guys!

How encouraging  ;) However... I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R7AzJTpWw4&feature=related is a little more graphic.

:rofl:

I would just like to add, Regardless of the official policies on time off for working weekends, recalls and so on, I know that I work fewer days in the military than I would anywhere else for equal money.  If I add up all the Stat days, automatic 20 days leave, and then the countless times I've...

What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that your high school wasn't a 20 million dollar building in a semi tropical setting, full of intellectually & aesthetically perfect teens who often broke out into choreographed song and dance like mine was?  ;)  Poor guy.

How is this a "big decision"? Why are you asking serious life advice from complete strangers? These are just a couple questions that come to mind, but on that note; Finish high school the Army isn't going anywhere.  The "disadvantages" of not finishing are, numerous.  Not to mention that you...

Hope you like being right marker.  ;)

Considering its small size, I think this will be a good opportunity for Lakehead to expand its student body.  In addition to the obvious benefits to the Dependents. Good for all.

Thanks a lot for the words of...wisdom, is that the right word?  :P Recce yea I'm a big fan of the outdoor stuff so thats a big plus for me.  The main reason being is my little Sister lives in Peterborough and I would like to be close to her, also the folks aren't too far either. If anyone...

I have a buddy in who is 5'6, 180lbs.  Its not all muscle and he has a little bit of a gut on him, that being said he runs 6km in 23 min so I can't really give him a hard time (cause I can't catch him).  The BMI sliding scale is not very useful in my opinion, it does not take into account what...

Your staff will know that you were a Cadet, there is no hiding it there.  You can try to act like you have no idea what you're doing when it comes to the drill or ranks or what have you, but they will pick up on it trust me.  And guess who gets it all the harder now that they know, that YOU...

Hello everyone, I'm just putting this up to request any information that anyone here has about Meaford.  It is starting to look like that will be home sweet home for me as of July this year.  I'm 3 weeks shy of finishing my PCP course out here in BC, then back to CFB Borden for grad, then off...
