In 2003, during my recruiting process, they asked me which my preference would be and when I got my call, they said what Regiment I'd go to. During training, the Bn I'd end up at changed on a weekly basis.

:-\ +1pt :'(

Again, that's all dependant on the dude. Some are keeners: 0500 - wake 0530 - 10km run 0630 - Shower, ready for work 0700 - Goto work and workout before parade 0800 - Parade ..... Sometimes you have greymen just coasting by 0730 - Wake and leave shacks 0800 - parade 1000 - ready in uniform...

Can't fold?! What would infantry privates ever do instead of regular mod-folding parties?  ::)

I can say that 'this is dispicable' but that wouldn't do much. I've talked to VAC for my own claims and pensions, but that didn't accomplish much. It's odd that the fortitude of VAC can so easily outlast the effort and patience of all those who voice problems against it. Now my hope is for my...

I was not intending to chastise, but I will mind my tone in the future.

Ouch. My eFeelings are hurt.  :crybaby: As you are entering into ROTP, should this be the kind of mentality that you have as a possible leader? Please, please, do not use that term in reference to the infantry when you go for your interview.

My 2 rubles-worth of advice: Spend money and buy yourself a good pair of running shoes. It may initially hurt your pocketbook for maybe a month tops. It will save your ankles, calves, knees, back and all those other fine mechanics a lot of pain. Do not ever run in skate shoes - if you do, may I...

My 2 rubles to this, albeit I have not touched the C7/C8 for firing in nearly 5yrs (gotta love/hate the TCat/PCat caveats). Caveat: I know this thread's last reply was 2mon ago. I was told by a Coy's 2IC (CFR) that the vertical grip has poor muzzel control as you will tend to biometrically...

As VRI said, day-to-day life varies across the board. Maybe you are in a rifle company, and maybe you are elsewhere like RQ, BHQ, Tpt, etc. Perhaps you have gungho leadership that never let you rest and perhaps not. Maybe you have to pack-up vehicles like my unit is doing b/c they are shipping...

It was time I change this

During lunchtime routine (watching Family Feud) a Pte asked: So what will they do when they run out of questions?

... My apologies to all I shall think a little more about what I am posting before I post it.

[tangental rebuttle] I do not imply that being outside the wire in SWK or any district gives you an edge in that regard. I mean that being outside the wire allows you to appreciate things like choke points due to contour changes and....ugh, n/m. Lost my train of thought. Essentially, your know...

This is a tricky topic for me as I have recently been there. Being injured in Jan 06, I was 'taking too long' to recover. They gave me the ultimatum of 'get better or it's time to think of getting out'. This prompted me to ramp up my occupational therapy process and essentially get better faster...

I stand corrected.  :-[

Speaking under NO authority whatsoiever, I'll say that if it's not automatically put on your docs then it'll bve treated as any sort language you may know already. The language school would probably need to test you to see your degree of fluency with said language before putting it on yoru docs...

My personal opinion based on observation while working with the lower ranks in my unit: A lot of guys who have 1-2yrs left in their initial BE are frustrated they won't 'get to go over and fight in the Gan'. Thus, one may initially believe that numbers would drop after the new Ptes' first BE is...

Mr. Wattie, I would suggest talking to the Public Affairs officer in Edmonton to get a large return for your req. The PAO will talk to the Adjt of 1VP and he will coordinate with anyone who is willing to help you out. My 2 rubles, -Spooks

<Graeme> That is good and all, I can see what they look like and all, but I lack to see what are the requirements for them
