    Cadpat for BMQ?

    Have fun putting that Ruck Sack together.  UGH.  I got a new one to and a CPL in our unit was just swearing his head off tryna figure out where all the straps and stuff went. (since he got his already in one peice).  Took a while, but its doable.

    webbing problem

    I didn't get kitted with mag pouchs either.  The thing is, I dont remember seeing it anywhere on the check list either.  I remember the canteen, KFS, butt pack, gerber and flashlight and I remember signing for everything, but I'm almost posative there was no "mag pouchs" there.  I did end up...

    Hey guys, I just got back from being kitted today and for those of you wondering if you are getting CADPAT or not... YOU ARE. EVERYONE is being issued CADPAT now.  Infact, I even recieved a CADPAT bivy bag if you can believe that. The only way you will be issued the old OD's (and it happened...

    Joint Task Force 2 (JTF 2) - Canadian Special Forces

    Honestly, these JTF conversations are like beating a dead horse.  They never go anywhere they haven't gone before, so whats the point?

    Question about leaving to BMQ (Meaford)

    Ha, I guess we'll finally figure out that OD Vs CADPAT issue eh.  I'll be there bright and early tho.  I'm guessing around 9:30 since were leaving my unit at 8:00 for Denison.

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    Figured I may throw out an AB work out suggestion.  First off, this is for people who wish to strengthen each part of their abdominals in one basic excercise, and I warn you, its not for those of you with weaker abs.  I can do about 80 or more sit ups but this absolutly rips my abs.  It's called...

    Question about leaving to BMQ (Meaford)

    Try calling your unit recruiter then, they might know. I was originally told we might get it in Meaford, but we were all rushed in on Monday to get it done, so maybe your unit might call to get you in soon. I'm guessing your getting kitted tomorrow to then? (Thursday, Downtown?)

    Expansion of Army reserves put on hold

    Hey I got to this a little late, but I can see both points of view. That money SHOULD be put into the reserves if it was allocated there.  As a soon to be reservist myself, it sucks the big one to hear nothing but "were freezing money, were taking it away".  It's even worse when they say "here"...

    Voting at BMQ/SQ

    Just a quick one. Many of us are travelling to different bases around Canada for our BMQ and SQ's and even BIQ (now DPsumthing or other) and some of us, such as myself and everyone in 32bde will be leaving on the 26th. We start basic on the 28th, but that is also election day.  I know basic...

    Results are in.......Hockey

    You know what I think it was?  Probably the 1 or 2 seconds after the hit where his stick smacked St. Louis in the face and caused him to bleed, and they just called a penalty to give him one, and not worry about what penalty it actually was.  Sorta sucks that if he were a bigger player he...

    Results are in.......Hockey

    Great game it was, but a charging/bording penalty on a clean hit (at least I think it was) with a minute to go doomed the flames.

    Army Reserve Recruiting Trial

    Yup, helped a lot.  My application has been done for a while, I was just curious because the msg just said the CFRC in a generic way and never really specified a specific person.. I have no idea what AFAIK means tho. :-\

    Army Reserve Recruiting Trial

    Just a quick question. Who in the CRFC actually determines whether or not the applicant can meet the enrolement standards.  The doctor giving the actual medical test, or someone else?

    BMQ every other weekend ??

    FOUND IT!  Darn, I was searching for this thread for almost half an hour but I knew it was around somewhere.  I needed to look through my old posts for it.  The info about the reimburesement plan is at the bottom of the first page on the second. http://army.ca/forums/threads/13631.0 I dont...

    Liberals neglected army...

    No, the government should not be responsible for someone elses money, but where is the gaurantee that you will be financially ahead after a 3 year stint in the army?  Will you be ahead enough to pay for post seconday education?  Even if you do have money saved up, look at how much money you will...
