Theyve also added a 25 meter sprint with the 40kg stretcher to the ladders that you walk up with the weighted trolleys, then back the 25 meters. Overall it was pretty difficult, but not too hard, there were people that barely finished, and those that were ready to go for another round. Like all...

To add briefly to the OP's post with a quick quote: (directed at our platoon): "You guys have the easiest job in the CF right now, you simply do exactly what we say, nothing more, nothing less." -Certain awesome Sgt.

Anyone know what a fresh off BMQ Sigop can expect at this time? I understand there is quite a long wait time and the last few sigs to graduate here a couple weeks back were sent to Pet and Gage for OJT. Are they currently running any QL3's (or DP1.0's) at the moment? And if they are having...

When I swore in, we were asked our relationship status. I put common-law, the Cpl. brought out a form, I brought the form home with me, my girlfriend and I signed it, and when I came to St. Jean I brought a bill with both of our names on it, her birth certificate and drivers licence, our...

Someday! He's a Jimmy too ;) On a side note, my entire platoon had to redo our leave passes for this weekend, 4 still got it wrong, even with our Pl. 2IC walking us through it. Their leave passes were torn up in front of them and their long weekend plans blown. The morale of the story: Pay...

I'll*  ::) I used to think you guys were tough with grammar and spelling, that is, until I met my Mcpl who had us write memo's until they were flawlessly perfect. I apologize for the lack of punctuation.

Im about to go through the process of requesting to live off base during my QL3's, i also have a spouse and a child, so ill keep you posted on the outcome.

Just fill the entire thing out before you leave anyway. Cross every T and dot every i. Its a hell of a lot easier to do it now while you are at home rather than at CFLRS. if you miss a postal code, or a workplace address for one of your relatives, or a home+work phone number for one of your...

There are a few CE's on my course here in the mega, and a handful more who showed up last week. Not too sure why knowing how many have already been enroled would have any relation to your application process, but theres your answer.

I only had my GED but did "very well" on my CFAT and got a job offer this week. You can have all the education in the world but if you bomb your CFAT, thats whats going to matter in the end. My advice is to study up with a GED book, go in and write your CFAT, and see what happens. One thing is...

Already joined, Im Mike :P

Yes, Army. I'll either be flying out of Kelowna, or from Penticton to Vancouver, then onward from there. I'll find out next Wednesday which it is. (ps. I grew up on the island :)

I guess I'll be one of the few non-Navy tech people there. Got my call today for 11 April BMQ :) My trade is SigOp/ACISS.

Sorry, i dont know how that happened, must have had something to do with typing on my phone.... I meant to ask..... Can we bring laptops to basic? ;)

Just did a quick search using google and found this thread: http://Forums.Army.ca/forums/threads/72515.0.html It answered all of my questions, a good read for anyone concerned about the topics in this thread.

My girlfriend and I are commonlaw (living together 4 years) and have a 2 year old daughter. We also have a rental agreement, and have been claiming commonlaw on our taxes. With that said, this is the first Ive heard of any kind of special treatment pay-wise. I was budgeting with the assumption...

I personally have no problems with remustering, I do however have a problem with those who take whatever they can get, and are unwilling to give 100% because "this isn't the trade they wanted." People like that can drag everyone around them down with overwhelming negativity and only doing a half...

Not only that, but morally, do you think it wise to waste the CF's time, money, and possibly take the spot from someone who actually wants to make a career of the trade you use to get in? If you absolutely have no intention of remaining in a trade any longer than you absolutely have to, then...

As one who may be entering as a Sig Op, I haven't really seen a large amount of complaints regarding the Sig's. For a fresh recruit, who is expecting ACISS core, will this new training system have any frustrations attached? From what I'm reading here it seems as though it will remain the same...
