What worked for me, who is, well, way over 40, is this: for running, I got the "Couch to 5K" Podcasts, free in iTunes (I can now run 5K) For the rest....simple....P90X. When I go to BMQ I can assure you, I want to be better than the 20 somethings!!!! If you are computer literate you will have no...

This may have been mentioned but very much worth mentioning again. For this (old) guy who never ran....I got the "Couch to 5K" Podcasts, free on iTunes......worked like a charm.....doing 5K now. I never thought 2 months ago, while running for 1 minute was sooooo difficult, that I would have...

Thanks folks, appreciate it. From the start, it almost seemed like the recruiters were trying to fill the most immediately needed trades, not even offering anything else. After my Medical clears, the middle to end of December they tell me, I will be revisiting the office with more questions...

I am interested in starting my Naval Career as an NCIOP and being postet to a Sub (hopefully on the East coast). I don't imagine that would be a direct progression, anybody able to advise on what or how the process could work?

I am wondering if this process is pretty much the same for everyone. I visited the recruiting office and spoke with a recruiter about my situation, interests etc. I know which element I was interested in and then discussed entry plans as well as trades. I would be an NCM. I completed the...

Thanks guys, good stuff. I plan on performing well and hope the same for my platoon. I've earned my way in life so far so am used to doing what it takes. I'd be getting into this much older than most but do not expect a different treatment, goes without saying, really.  I'd like to think that I...

I am quite sure that the first 5-8 weeks at BMQ will not allow for much personal time but after that? Getting off base, visiting someone in Montreal and such should be do-able? How about killing a bit of time while on base, any such thing as wi-fi available (if a guy brought an enabled device)...

Hi all, I'm on the east coast, going reg forces Navy. My process is in the reference checks etc and am told that BMQ will be soon. My office is telling me it will be St Jean, possibly in January. There must be a certain amount to a troup. Are you guys that are going to Borden going there...

I can't seem to read anything. There is yellow text on light backgrounds, dark text on dark backgrounds etc. I can barely make out what I am writing now.....any suggestions???? I don't have this problem on any of the millions of other sites I visit.

I too am considering this trade and find it tragic that a guy can miss out on 2 years of rank and pay by going to Mun (which I cannot do). I am trying to justify this in my mind and am researching how much pay I'd actually miss out on!

Really having a tough time deciding on which one to choose. I live in Halifax, am pushing 50 and in the process of enrolling. Yeah....I know what you're thinking!!! Anyway, I love weapons of all kinds, am good with my hands and see potential with this trade. My recruiter felt it was better to...
