Don't worry about it, you'll do ok. They will build you up with push ups its not gunna be like "do 50" the first day your there. Just enjoy the...half way down....3 quarters....all the way...half way up....3 quarters....all teh way up...  :blotto:

I did it with the reserves but I found that a couple little extra things will help you along the way. Runing shoes, get a good pair from a store that knows their stuff, like the Running Room. Insoles, your boots don't come with any really, so get 2 good pairs.  Spend the money, itll save your...

PBI, after comming of BMQ/SQ this summer, I think it would be safe to say that there is an issue of PT and PT standards in the reserves.  Many of the people on my course wished we had more PT.  Our runs weren't extremely long, maybe 4km and the same goes wiht our ruck marchs.  There were only 2...

I have this one on my door so I see it everytime I enter my room.  He is profane and irreverent, living as he does in a world full of capriciousness, frustration and disillusionment. He is perhaps the best-educated of his kind in history, but will rarely accord respect on the basis of mere...

That we did.  I took one in the neck while in a fire orders class.  Any severe allergy is too risky in the feild.

Don't worry about Penicillin.  I'm allergic and I got in. However, I was rejected the first time because of a "suspected" mild allergy to walnuts which apparently I'm not allergic to in the firt place.  It's weird how the CF works.

nice pics Kevin, those are ones you don't see everyday. I'm curious tho, has there been any talk of getting the arid pattern on the tac vests?  From far away they must look like a green blob floating around in a sandy desert.

Whether you go to failure or not is pretty much up to the person administering the test.  When I did mine I was pretty much told to stop at 20 sit ups and 20 push ups because I met the standard and there was no reason to do anymore.

Those are definitly some of the better pics taken at SG '04 My favorite though is the third one, securing the landing zone with a nice yellow school bus in the background.  ;D

Haha, Yea, I thoroughly enjoyed getting shot in the head with a nice double tap, although the chalk I was in did get props from the RCR guys (refs and safety guys) for actually showing initative and flanking right instead of heading for the bank.  They told us after we were all nice and dead...

Grade 11 Entrepreneurship class.  Someone called my teacher to tell him and he turned around to us and said "The pentagons been hit".  I just remember sitting there thinking "hit by what?", but no one really knew until kids form other classes with Tv's began telling us inbetween classes what...

Well, from what I've been reading and what I went through, I think its safe to say that the standards are slowly being lowered and lowered. I just got back from Meaford for BMQ / SQ and I know that myself, as well as many of the guys in my platoon and section felt cheated on the PT.  We went 3...

Just back from Meaford, BMQ/SQ. I found BMQ to be a little boring, but SQ was a lot more fun.  I found there to be a LOT of competition between the platoons, which could be good or bad, depending on the circumstances.  (if you were there you would know)  C6 and C9 were a lotta fun and I heard...

Don't worry about that, they'll show you how to put it together on course.  Maybe if I'm around ill show you ;). I think im just brining everything on the kit list, except the outer sleeping bag.  Right now I got my rain pants, jacket and extras liek camo, foot powder, ligher, matches, bug...

Im bringing my ruck, packed with everything, and then one duffel bag for my extra military kit, and a small duffel bag with some civies in it.

I'll be the first to admit I know little to nothing about small arms and tracers, but exactly how threating can a ricocheting C7 or C6 round look when you have the ability to reach 20 000 feet in seconds?  I remember it being in or on the front page of the Toronto star, and the F-16's actualy...

ahh crap, I guess I better get on that biography tomorrow.  Slipped my mind with all the packing.

See you there.

One more student here.  Just finished first year at U of T, majoring in Business Management and Crime and Devience. I do work at a Greenhouse though, and ref a soccer game here or there.

Looks like Karma is comming to those who did help murder him though.  Some of them are apparently six feet under at the moment. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/06/19/saudi.kidnap/index.html
