    Enrollment and Training Journal

    I haven't updated in awhile, and I apologize.  I was worrying about papers and exams for the last three weeks, and the work load doesn't get any easier from here, but I thought I should provide some updates! I was going to weigh myself on October 31st, but I got sick a week leading up to that...

    Basic Up

    Today's episode was sweet. I love MBdr Sylvain Enault.  He's tough as nails, and is hilarious.  The PT was awesome... "Don't put your knee on the ground!  Aren't you proud to join the Army?  Show me that!" "If you have the heart, I'm sure you can do more all the time!" "You're not in...

    CDS Responds to Opponents of Recruiting in Schools

    Good letter. Someone mentioned this earlier, but it is sad the way things are right now as far as how some place view the CF.  I was one of those people when I was in high school.  I saw them around during job fairs, and when University's came to give out information.  I used to think they...

    Enrollment and Training Journal

    ----- October 1st, 2009 Entry ----- Sorry about a lack of entries.  I've been sick for about 5 days now.  It's been rough.  I started feeling better today, but I've got a splitting headache.  Just trying to recover fully before I start hitting the gym again.  It has been seriously brutal. On...

    Enrollment and Training Journal

    Yeah, I plan on hitting cardio at some point so that I can handle the challenges of BMQ's more endurance based tasks.  I figure I have at least seven months to get in prime shape.  My goal right now is strictly weight loss while building a base for bigger lifts and cardiovascular stuff.  I'm not...

    Enrollment and Training Journal

    That blows man.  I don't have a good excuse other than the fact that my body seems to hate me.  I did have a great sleep last night.  I went to bed at 12 and woke up at 7.  I didn't need to be up until 8:30, but instead of going back to sleep I got up and prepared for the day instead of getting...

    "jedi kicked out of supermarket

    It seems unfair to not allow him the right to wear a hood.  They presumeably allow Burqas. With that said, this "religion" isn't that much different from any other religion...  Gets its beginnings from a good story, and a couple of people who were considered loopy and/or crazy for their time...

    Enrollment and Training Journal

    Hahaha, of course! ----- September 22nd, 2009 Entry ----- Things went well today.  I'm a little exhausted though.  I had a sub-par sleep.  I haven't been a good sleeper for years, and it's one of the problems I have with consistent training.  I've tryed all kinds of things...  Pills...

    Is there a "sign up" thing to be on the next season?

    Enrollment and Training Journal

    I am lucky because I get free gym access to my University's gym (free in the sense that it's part of my tuition).  Inbetween classes I have free time, so instead of being the lazy pile of dung that I'd usually be, I just go to the gym.  It works for me, but I realize I am lucky in this regard so...

    Enrollment and Training Journal

    ----- Note ----- This will hopefully be a frequently updated enrollment journal and fitness log.  Hopefully things stay on course and I'm able to keep people up-to-date from here, until I am apart of the Canadian Forces, and perhaps beyond.  I shot Roy Harding a Private Message and he...

    PT at BMQ

    Thanks for the speedy response.  I'll avoid debating the topic here, but I will add that I find it weird that they'd rather shoot people out to Basic without fully knowing if they can even do Basic.  Seems like a rather expensive risk.  Oh well.  So be it.

    PT at BMQ

    I honestly can't think of a good reason to remove the PT test at the CFRC level.  So I fully agree with you there. Any insight as to why that happened?

    Gym Equipment - Which one is the best to use?

    I agree with the user above.  Definitely stick to free-weights. The only machine work I really use the leg press, standing leg curl machine, and the dual-pulley for pulldowns.  The pulley uses a rope/wire/cord thing so it's almost free-weight anyway. Free weights help for stabilizing and...

    These videos help keep me motivated to train hard for whenever my time comes.  They are the bomb diggity.

    All things joining the military (but not wanting to deploy) - merged

    I would be pretty upset if I couldn't get the job I wanted and I knew there were people who had that job who were not planning on accepting deployment.  Don't join if you won't deploy.  If you're not prepared to do what's expected of you, don't take spots away from people who would be more than...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Makes sense, but I had kind of hoped there had been some sort of George Orwell type meaning behind it.
