You no longer want a membership because you don't like some of the Political views/comments people have?

That isn't the point though.  The point is to push your body physically without hurting yourself.  As you get more comfortable in the water, you'll be able to stay under longer, but the real point is to push yourself for 30-60 seconds and then come up for air.  Maybe tread water and swim around...

I'd put a lot of stock into what BJ Penn is doing.  In his last fight he dominated for all 5 rounds and looked as fresh at the end as he did going in.  Plus, it's not like he's the one coming up with the training plans.  He has world-class trainers to tell him what he should be doing.  Just like...

Haha, I've only done it a couple of times, but you're completely right.  It's fun to do with other people too.  You can compete to see who can go the farthest.  You'll feel it the next day though.  Muscles all over will be aching! Treading water with weights, eh?  I haven't tried that.  Sounds...

A ADHD diagnoses is holding you back?  That sucks.  Considering how much it and ADD are thrown around these days, you wouldn't think that would be a big deal.  I'm interested to see what more knowledgeable people have to say about the Forces and its Medical standards. Anyway, best of luck man.

Why didn't I think of that before!? It's hard to categorize this workout, but it's got cardio, muscle strength, and endurance all combined into one...  B.J. Penn does it to build his cardio up. You run underwater.  There's weighted brick things you can get, and you put them in your hands and...

Running isn't very fun.  I hate it, but there are ways to make it better. First, Google "Good Running Form".  It's essentially good posture, swinging your arms forward as opposed to side by side (across your chest), keeping your body relaxed while also making sure your arms are bent at the...

I think you are right, and the poster above mine seems to clear it up. When I got my CFAT results, I talked about possible trades and I mentioned SigOps and the Recruiter seemed to suggest there'd be little wait time if I went with that.  I didn't though.  I want to finish this semester at...

Hmmm, thanks for the info.  I'll explain my situation! I started off wanting Infantry and wrote my CFAT on the 13th of January.  After the test I was told I was eligible for all trades and training, but that I should consider switching out of Infantry because I was going to be forced to wait...

Thanks a lot for the info.  I'll assume 'red' means closed or full. I really hope something opens up in the Combat Arms this spring that isn't Engineer.  No offense to what they do, because I have a buddy who's in it, but I'm not good at math and it's not exactly my type of thing.

Is there any ideas on what the needs of the Military might be like when April rolls around? Since Infantry is pretty much a no-go for awhile, I was told that Artillery and Armoured will be hiring in April.  With that said, I'm essentially okay with both options, but I'm leaning towards...

Not too surprising.  I was told today (when I wrote my CFAT) that it was an accident letting me write it as they weren't supposed to schedule me for it until my trade was hiring.

I just wrote my CFAT.  I also added 'Artillery' to my MOC List.  It was only Infantry at one point. I really want Infantry, but it has become clear that I would be waiting for quite awhile if I picked it (unless I got lucky).  I don't really like waiting for luck, so I thought Artillery would...

I suppose if they were in Ottawa on vacation it wouldn't be considered work. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Politics/2010/01/08/12393801-qmi.html but that's not really what they're doing.

So get mad at them for working when they don't have to?

So, it has been awhile since I updated...  Try a few months. I'm still on schedule with the timeline I setup for myself. My school transcripts should be arriving at the Recruitment Center sometime between tomorrow and next week.  I've dropped everything else off.  I'll be stopping in tomorrow...

Oh I understand that his question was put poorly, but he did provide a lot of information and probably thought he was being helpful.  It just doesn't hurt to be positive back to people.  Anyway, I'll bugger off now haha, I don't want to derail this conversation.

Although I agree that your advice is sound (I too believe his best bet would be to ask someone at a recruitment centre), I also think you could have been a little nicer in displaying this.  If you haven't noticed, this section is for asking questions, and I think that should be encouraged and...

Haha, it's funny you should mention natural peanut butter.  One of the things I snack on after supper is celery with some natural peanut butter. As for fruits, I'm with the guy who considers it good sugar, and I forgot to mention my vitamin intake, but I'm taking vitamin D, a multivitamin and...

It's something I'll consider.  I find my breakfast really helps me get through rough mornings, so it's tough to change it.  Plus, the protein and energy they give me is just fantastic.  I'll look for some alternatives as far as morning food is concerned (see I want to avoid too many carbs, so...
