Habitant, I guess you and I have different interpretations of "grey man" :) Anyway, I did my phase 2 in Gagetown this past May. Yourself?

35? no problem. Had one guy on my course who was 53! As for your wife, are you joining reg or reserve?

I just want to add to this. If you‘re going Officer, such as myself Habitant did, then being the grey man may not be the best idea. Sure, it‘ll get you through the course, but as an officer you are expected to take initiative and lead. On my phase 2 course the instructors said that they would...

eh what? I know at least one person who wears glasses and is in an armoured recce unit. How bad is your prescription?

hmmm.. ‘tis a dangerous game... you wouldn‘t want one of your instructors to find out that you guys thought of yourselves as sexy now do you? oh imagine the fun to be had...heh. ;) And Arty, yes you‘ll be a private until you pass your gunnery course. After that you‘ll be a gunner.

Hey mimi, If you‘re currently bored with your government IT job and decide to leave it for the army, then please drop my name as a possible replacement! I‘m kinda bored with my IT job :) Aside from that, as CSS Type says, why not do both? You‘ll lose a few weekends, maybe some time during...

Hi mimi, Just a word of friendly advice. You may not want to join the army doing the same job you do in civie land. I myself am a computer programmer as well in civie land but I joined the artillery. Not saying that you can‘t, just suggesting that you might enjoy the change of pace more. In...

lol, this thread has been amusing. Ok, if you‘re going to try to do some sort of challenge procedure at least do it right. The first part of the pass word should be said twice, followed with the response also to be said twice. Ergo, the proper challenge would be "flash flash" and the proper...

Are you referring to the Oka crisis? If so, that actually started due to a proposed expansion into Native lands that was met with fierce resistance. Try this: http://www.newsworld.cbc.ca/flashback/1990/

Relax Arty, all in due time. You‘ll have a couple of troops joining you from our unit for BMQ as well, so you won‘t be alone. Usually your course will begin at 1930 Friday night and finish around 1700 Sunday.

My mistake, I was under the impression that you were just joining up. I received mine in April (at least that‘s what the certificate says).

Well, you have 2Lt as your title there so it stands to reason that you‘re applying as an officer correct?

Did you mean "conquer" or "concur"? I‘m guessing conquer would make more sense. In either case, as a potential officer you have to be more careful, you never know who‘ll end up reading the memo you wrote with the spelling error.

My cadpat is holding up quite well actually. The fading is still there, though mine aren‘t as faded since they are only about 6 months old. IMO, they actually look better slightly faded than if there were brand-new. They are quite comfortable, once broken in. The first couple of times they...

Thank you gents, much appreciated.

Come on.. someone must have take meeting minutes before?

Can anyone tell me what the minutes format is? I need to write a report in minutes format but I don‘t know how it‘s supposed to be formatted. thanks

Say what? I don‘t understand what you‘re saying here:

Just ask away! If anyone has anything to contribute they will reply.

As an officer, when going to someone else‘s mess, stand at the door and ask for permission to enter first. As for fraternization... well we could debate that topic for ages...
