Ok, from one 18 year old to another.
Right now I'm at CFB Borden waiting for my Med Tech course to start. Just finished BMQ 10 days ago, I'm pretty much as green as you can get without being a Recruit so I know exactly where you're coming from.
My advice is to stop trying to find ways around...
I think people should just wear what they want, as long as its not offensive to any specific group of people, or the CF. I don't have to look at these people long enough to get hot and bothered by their questionable fashion choices.
BUT, in the name of participation...

My dad is named Mark, my step-dad is named Mark, my dad's best friend is named Mark, my step-dad's boss is named Mark, my old drummer...you guess it, Mark!
Bizarre eh?
Oh see this is just stupid, why do celebrity couples have to name their kids something odd? Is it to give the false impression that they are emotional and deep and all that other jazz. If I was that kid I would be heading down to the Gov Offices the second on turned 18 and changing me name to...
Oh ya it was dreadful. One by one we all walked to this shredder built INTO the wall, and slid them in. With the Pl Comd standing there watching us come to attention and shred away our freedom. Oh well, lesson learned I guess!
Week 10, Friday, everyone is all pumped up for the weekend and the gas hut. Things are great, weekends planned, weddings to attend, family to see, etc etc. At 10:00 we walked into a hall and shredded our leave passes because two idiots threw out half full bottles of Coke into the garbage on...

Cheers, Kyle

Watching the Air Force and Navy take their kit back week 13 was hysterical. Us army folk keep pretty much everything while your kind had to turn in their helmets. How sad.
Hello, before I left for BMQ I was in here all the bloody time. Now that BMQ is over and I have come to waste away the days on PRETC in Borden I will get right back to it I suppose. To new members, this site is a great source of info if you're willing to take the time to read it.
So, how is...
Most people here will tell you not to bring your laptop cause you wont "have time" to use it. I've been at CFLRS 9 weeks and I just had mine brought to me in montreal. They are good for the weekends off if you want to watch movies or toodle down to an internet cafe somewhere or what have you. ...
Greetings from CFLRS!! (Well Montreal actually, weekend leave.)
