Is the Army Fitness Manual on the offical CF cd? I can't seem to find a link to the manual with a google search...  ???

Fuzzy and Blackhawk: I want to know how many people (if any) failed or dropped out of Basic so far. It must be nice to be home for the holidays.  Are you promised any time off between Basic and your MOC training?  Are you given much time to call home or email at basic? Also I'm wondering...

My CFAT experience was quite pleasant, even though I was very nervous about the whole test.  I actually found the Math part to be the easiest (even though math has always been very weak for me for my entire life)  However I practiced on my simple math weeks before my CFAT which really prepared...

Am I missing something?  That article is very unclear.  How are potential recruits being rejected from positions in the army?  Is it due to their previous health conditions? I need my Vancouver Sun to spell every issue out for me I guess.  ;D By the way Dr.Size thanks for your words of wisdom...

Thanks for the great posts guys.  I guess I'll keep the appointment.  I am just anxious to get my interviews over with to start the long 6 to 18 month security check part.  (probably going to be long for me since I lived in three different places within the last four to five years) Argylls are...

I got the physical this Friday and am I a little worried about it.  Unfortunately my summer job kept me too busy to work out nearly as hard as I usually do.  And my running and pushups severely suffered from it. Now I am wondering whether I should delay my physical for a month to help me get...

I just wrote the CFAT last week.  I was really nervous about it so I got a GED book from the library.  I focused mostly on how to deal with fractions and percentages. Doing this really helped me during the math part of the exam.  Also the added practice of working on my times tables gave me a...

I hate needles. I think I have a mild needle phobia. My last needle was grade 7. After my shot I got up from the chair, walked three feet and completely fainted, hitting my head on the wall in the process. I woke up half an hour later on some dirty gym mat with nurses and my class mates...

I had the same question. The way I see it every other major semi military (like police forces) expect their interviewees to appear in a full suit, new shiny shoes and all. So I would expect the military to want the same treatment. After all it is a serious, mature job (or a career) so you...

Good post GrahamD. Some military recruiters are coming to my college today so I hope I get a chance to ask some questions and pick up some free stuff :D I also don‘t have military experience but I hope to get accepted into infantry or MP soon.

An easier and cheap way to improve your grip (this is what they tell us at the police info sessions) is to buy a handball (the little blue bouncy balls) When you are watching tv just squeeze the ball in one arm (up to 10 - 20 or more if possible) and do the same number of squeezes on the other...

Shaun Completely understandalbe. In fact I kind of predicted that before I even posted my question. I had a buddy who was just accepted into Vancouver Police and he could not tell me much about the polygraph section, assessment part etc. Good for you man. I envy you. I hope I am in your...

Thats good to hear Shaun. Would you mind telling us what the assessment center consisted of? Where was it? How long was it? What did they make you do? Etc. Any info would be great on such a sketchy and secret trade.

Thanks for the replies guys, SQ sounds interesting. How long is SQ? Is it done right after BMQ in the same base?

What is SQ? I never heard of that before :confused: Do I ever sound like a newbe now? :D

Paul - just wondering what trade your going into? I‘m guessing you didn‘t apply in December 2003. If you did that was really fast recruiting on the Armys part!

I am also getting into the MP trade, I just got my application in the other week acutally. I would suggest doing a search on the DnD forums because there has been a lot of past discussions about MP‘s and a few pics of MP‘s on there. Shaun what is the MPAC??

I hate the 3D iron sights of AA 2.0. The little crosshairs are so tiny compaired to the 2D sights. And the M4 has WAY to much recoil to even use the **** sights effectively even from a long distance. Anyways at least the weapon mods are cool... I can‘t wait to try them once I pass two hours...

Americas Army 2.0 came out yesterday. But don‘t expect to download it till the weekend. Most of the sites will be very overloaded for awhile because this is such a big patch, in terms of size and impact for AAO players. I don‘t want to say all the things the new patch allows players to do...
