I also find my dumps work like clockwork.  I get on a pretty regular schedule and its almost within the minute everyday.  If I don't go before a nice morning run I cramp up pretty bad.  I guess I will just have to get up around 20 minutes earlier to give myself sufficient time to go where I am...

If anything from what I heard there is a good chance of movign up the ranks as an infantry officer.  As long as you enjoy the job and are good at it everything should fall into place.  Just make sure your french profile is pretty good, if anything will slow down the promotion process past...

I actually can see where you are coming from.  Every morning when i wake up I have to take a big shit and sometimes I'll be in there for a good 20+ minutes straight shitting.  It flushes out my system and I feel great after.  Also its not like I can cut it short and stop halfway through.  I can...

I have to take two flights to get to Montreal so it will be a long morning for me.  My plan is to wear my comfy gym type clothes(sweats) till I get to Montreal then after I get off the flight hit up the bathroom and change into dressier clothes(dress shoes, collared dress shirt, and casual dress...

Well from personal experience if you were to apply for RegF around the time you graduate you have a shot at having your file complete for the spring selection board.  If this is the route you take I would advise you to talk to your RC around Feb or March and try to get the tests and medical out...

Just a heads up...  "business administration diploma" To be an officer you need a degree...there is abit of a difference between a degree and a diploma.  A 3 year college diploma does not count as a degree, however a 3 year university degree would...

I never really meant it to come out like that at all.....sometimes it is tough to make out on the internet forums.  I would have just preferred the marines because they compensate their soldiers much better and there are alot more resources...... and they are not liberal like Canada... but...

Yeah I have my 4 year university degree and looked at getting into the Marines but was told no go so I had to settle for the CF

I wouldn't mind hearing this either

Just to add, if you are offered a position in RegF you go wherever the Army wants to send you.....so in your situation(girlfriend just starting at MAC) I don't think the RegF is for you unless you are able to live far away from her until she graduates and can move to where you are located.

I was told from the RC that I will be starting at 2nd LT pay right from the start.  My friend just got back from getting the paperwork for his offer and they told him that he(DEO) along with everyone else starts at Officer Cadet pay until they pass BOTC. So we were both told two different...

I think it would help recruit much better candidates if they had bases closer to cities.   I know alot of guys that would have loved a career in the CF but choice other paths simply because they would never want to be posted to Shilo, Petewawa, or Gagetown....and I do not blame them one bit!!!  ...

You made the right choice, you would have always wondered about that other job and then if you actually did receive the offer while you were away with army and due to contracts could not accept you'd be bitter and not enjoy the army. Your worst case now is you do not get an offer with the other...

You're only 17....not my place to say but you definetly should not be getting married........I suggest putting your wedding off until you have been in the military a little longer

I don't feel like wasting my time trying to explain this to a bunch of 21 year olds that do not know what they are talking about.  The point I was trying to make is if "X" burns 2000 calories a day doing his daily routine and only eats 1500 calories a day he WILL lose weight(fat, water, and...

You are giving incorrect advice.  The two most beneficial times to do cardio (for fat burning purposes) are first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and directly after a weight workout. I'm 6'3 275lbs and lean.  I did not find it counter-productive to run 6 miles 4x a week after lifting...

What exactly do you do for say the year while you are waiting to get on course (Phase 4)??

I recently enrolled as a DEO before year end (March 31/05).  However the next soonest BOTC is Sept. 12th.  Therefor I have been placed on LWOP until Sept 9/05.  My question is, at what point after 25 years am I elgible for the CF pension(when I first swore in or when I was taken off LWOP)?? 

I am going to BOTC in Sept. as a DEO.  I do not drink coffee and well am rather disgusting by the smell and taste of it.  However if I do not get a caffeine fix I'll most likely fall asleep in the classroom.  So my question is...am I aloud to bring bottles of caffeine with me to St Jean??  The...

Yeah Island....same shit happened to me, so I went on a diet of sorts and dropped the 30lbs........The relative VO2Max is not the proper test to use but it is the most feasable and affordable for them.  I was extremely pissed off at how I failed when I did it fine but weighed 290lbs so it...
