This is true. I reconfirm, from what we're told this is NOT A-Coy being dissolved, but rather its deployable troops being reorg'd to make 2 full companies. Those who cannot be deployed wither for being DAG Red or of other reasons will go to A-Coy -Spooks

Very well said -Spooks

PAT atleast at Wainwright is large, and was very stupid. However, it was the people in PAT that made it bad. My course from BMQ arrived in Nov but couldn't get on a course for SQ until March. We sat on PAT, but we had a good handler who took us on PT every day, did VERY basic E&E stuff and even...

Nice......nice Like it a lot -Spooks

"A Coy" members are being moved to fill the gaps in B and C Coy in 3VP, and all members who are DAG red/yellow or unfit atm will go to ACoy to be a skeleton crew until the new summer flux of BIQ recruits come in. Also, (not confirmed) those at Op Athena atm will come back and augment the...

Alright...I'll put some clay pidgeons into the air more of just to see the results rather than a serious suggestion. The American Ranger's C9 bored for 7.62mm as LMG or GPMG BMP-3 as APC (I only overheard someone talking about it once and it's pros/cons to the LAV-III) My 2 rubles -Spooks

If you have talked to anyone else bout wanting to join the military then you have pretty much already had an interview for everyperson who expressed interest or intriuge on your enrollment. Why do you want to join?What makes you a good candidate? All questions you've probably been asked before...

Cold Lake is an Air Force base, as the army base is in Edmonton. Being in Edmonton myself (2hrs south) it's getting chilly and winters are always fun in Alberta. -Spooks

Just sorta coming out of BIQ I believe you are qualified C9, but you still need your PWT on it before you can fire it. It took my DP2A course to be C6 qualified though, again needing PWT before I can fire it. As for FIBUA (not OBUA), in BIQ you get a day in it. It's more of a familiarization...

Armoured: On an infantry standpoint, the armoured do get warm coffee in the field. That's -always- a plus. Alright, some other "combat arms" trades: Med-tech: You're indoors in garrison and you get to practice your skills a lot since everyone is a human that can bleed. IMO it's a cozy job in...

Rumor has it that CMTC is planning for one in LFWATC a large kill house for live possibly similar in design to the american ones. Problems with it though is climate as the ones in Lewis aren't subjected to the -40C winters of wainwright. So being that they're just thinking of it, maybe I'll be...

Boy is it fun. Though we had to go to Ft. Lewis, WA to do it, it still kicked ass. For anyone in LFWA if you have a chance to goto Ft. Lewis or to train in "Leschitown" do it right away as you will not only be amazed at the size of the complex area but you will learn more in four days than you...

What do you define as an RRF (or QRF)? If it is a unit that is able to be deplyed in a short period of time, then, in my opinion we do have Neo-taskings which is a 3-hr notice or something. Not sure on that number though. As for ressurrecting the Airborne Regiment, that is a touchy issue. I...

Remuster -to- the infantry. For formalities, I'll give the standard instructor's "Are you nuts?" now to get it out of the way. We had a guy in basic who was going SigOps who would pump off 40 onehanded pushups in the smoke pit while smoking, and then switch to the other hand. Perhaps one of the...

Now how about the normal memory of the swiss seat combined with a very jumpy breakman who can break very suddenly without your knowledge? -Spooks

Wow, okay let me start with the second question. By no means am I a SME at the policies of 3PPCLI but I'll shoot. The tomahawk - the piece of kit that pre-recruits ask about. First I wonder is what would the point of it be to have on you? It's weight, kinda bulky. Don't see a viable way to pack...

I'm a Pte 031 in Edmonton right now. I am curently brushing my Russian up right now. Took it from grade 2 - grade 12 but hadn't touched it for a few years. I have enough time to go off base and take night courses but I lack my own mode of transportation to get to the schools. I haven't explored...

Getting through infantry school can take a while. We just did it and mine took 9mon16d from the point of going to St. Jean for BMQ and graduating from BIQ in Wainwright and going to Battallion. We went on summer leave a few days after getting there and once we got back I was put on a DP2A...

Umm...being not from the mountain company I can't say for sure, but I may take a crack at it. Basic Mountain Operations (BMO) you can take. I believe it's only a few weeks long but strenuous. You first learn A LOT of knots. You then goto the Rockies and spend some time applying skills there...

Also looked at the pic and I'll compare it to mine: 1 large can of Kiwi Black - Used on combat boots 1 small can of Kiwi Black - Used on Parade boots only - never use you combat boot polish on parade boots 2 kiwi cloths - 1 for parade boots only, the other as a backup or for your combat boots...
