had mine for about 8 months now; now the stitching is starting to pull. The gloves have been quite good to me and saved my hands on a couple occasions, i would buy another pair. But i think ill try out the flight gloves KevinB is talking about next.
The fact is that women are just as capable at doing the job as most men... don't get me wrong women tend to not be able to scale buildings in a single leap and cant lift 300lbs oh wait either can I! In my very short time in the army thus far I have met some women that are just as or more...

A chit is a little note that exempts you from something (ie PT) or allows you to wear something (ie aftermarket boots). A chit is required to be on your person while in effect.
In Chilliwack you will still be doing pushups if your physicly able to; so it is best to get a note from your doctor...
Also from Mission here... you might see me running around the Hillside school area with a Cadpat camelpack on. Ive been doing so for the past year and a bit; anyways if you want to train you can email me aswell. I know a couple of other reservists in Mission that might be interested.

My class sizes have gone up from around 25 to about 35 now. I have seen the effects of budget cuts on our schools by seeing teachers fired because we cant afford to staff them while those class sizes rose. Our local hospital has been dropped from fully functioning with radiology, labs, OR's...

We were given the large warrior pam on our BMQ (Reserve in Chilliwack) last summer. They were great aids and helped in memorizing and double checking our drills on our own time. I also have a 2nd large sized one and one pocket sized one with the treated paper and green cover.
Alright, from somebody who was there washing dishes for 7 days I have to say it really wasn't all that bad. Would I have rather been out in the field with my regiment? Obviously, but as stated It is a task that needed to be done and I did gain some training (how to light an immersion heater...
