    The Depression / Anti Depressants Merged Thread

    If you need pills after your parents split what the hell is going to happen to you after you do a tour and see some messed up shit....The CF doesn't need mentally weak people like yourself. Life has alot of ups and downs and a pill is not the solution.....

    Couple Q's before going to BMQ

    The point I was making is there would be an extreme difference in the flight if you were flying from Kenora as apose to Ottawa.  Why wouldn't you specify what city you would be flying from?? Makes a huge difference.  Ontario has more than one city you know.....  If you went as far as specifying...

    Couple Q's before going to BMQ

    I already have a warning so I can't say anything harsh but have you ever taken a geography class or actually looked at a map????????? Ontario is a HUGE province.  It would take a good 30 hours to drive from Ottawa(eastern ontario) to Kenora(western ontario).........As for flights it probably...

    is height and fat and muscel a bad thing in the infantry

    I also said I know this will never happen, it was just some food for thought if it was the perfect world.  And if the CF got rid of the unhealthy alternatives I can guarantee the work force would be a much leaner one

    is height and fat and muscel a bad thing in the infantry

    Why don't you get a clue and learn how to read .   I said I KNOW there are healthy alternatives but by getting rid of the unhealthy foods people would not have the option. Mod Edit - Personal attack removed

    is height and fat and muscel a bad thing in the infantry

    I guess my post and the point I was trying to make wasn't clear.  I am well aware there are healthy alternatives but you give a fat kid a choice between a doughnut or a sweet potato and what do you think he is going to choose????  A little extreme but my point I was trying to make is to get rid...

    is height and fat and muscel a bad thing in the infantry

    I have seen pictures and videos of some of the people on BMQ etc and I think the CF should take a new approach to helping these future soldiers.  Instead of offering unhealthy food for the meals they should provide healthy meals such as (chicken breasts, rice, sweet potatoes, broccoli, fish...

    Occupation Selection

    I would definetly recommend you get a civilian job.  I am not 100% sure of this so you may want to confirm with your RC but most of the BMQs will be filled up for the year (you have not even began your tests so by the time you are merit listed it could take some time to get to BMQ) .  It is...

    Inf. Officer advancement hindered?

    It pays comfortably but not well......I'll be starting at roughly 45,500/year as a DEO 2LT.  For a single male with no debt and no commitments this is enough for me.  If however I was working at a civilian job I would be making closer to 100k/year as that is what my equivalent classmates are...
