Congrats Jason, and to your Gorgon5000, you guys are going to do great at basic. Keep us posted with teh progress. Word of advice, even if you‘re curious, I suggest you don‘t inhale when you‘re in the gas hut.

Da_man, When he says leave your unifom in your locker I believe he is referring to your combats. You do not iron your combats, unless you want to look like a hologram..

Wow, I hear all these horror stories. Back when I was applying to go to RMC a few years ago, I Walked in mid October, and started my process, by the end of November I had my CFAT, interview, medical, PT test done, the only thing I had to wait for was my RMC acceptance which came in April, but...

after being sworn in you‘ll probably be on unpaid leave until basic starts. I believe Che was refering to the reseve pay scale, but being in the Reg force with 2 RCR you‘ll get paid on the 15th, and 30th of everymonth, starting when you get to St. Jean. If you need money you can get a pay in...

Especially when you get to St. Jean, the guys are really particular about the push ups, they want it exactly under your shoulder and elbows tight to ribs and chest pretty much touching the ground. The thing with the 19 pushups is that if you do the wrong pushup they won‘t count it. you could...

You get a second chance usually later in the day. I‘m not sure what they do to you in BMQ, but if you fail again chances are you will drop into a platoon that is begginning wepons training or maybe even get recoursed. As Just a Sig Op said most ppl fail because they are nervous, just relax...

The Master Seaman testing me was pretty easy on me. I forgot to do my function test in the standing load position, and he was like did u forget something, and i was like "yeah, i forgot to do it in the standing load position." stuff like that they won‘t fail you on, but a safety violation will...

unless u can proove with a vaccination record taht you‘ve got those shots that brin11 listed you‘ll get those plus Hep. A, Hep. B, TB, that‘s jsut on basic. i hope u aren‘t afraid of needles, cause its kinda like an assembly line one after the other, and its done over several sessions.

In my short experience in the CF I found some of toughest guys to be the most humble. They know they are the toughest but don‘t need to tell everyone, they prove it. This one gentleman was coming up from the ranks and going through BOTC. He was the nicest guy, giving ppl advice on everything...

there‘s actually 12 plus a basement. I believe the 10th is the highest they‘ll stick ppl on course, the top two are occupied by the staff, but then they get to use the elevators. all your classes will be in the basement. it takes a minute and half to run the 10 floors, but I‘ve seen bad...

In terms of China‘s economy growing, it is definitely growing faster then any industrialized country in the world, right now it‘s economy is growing at an unsustainable 8%. Consider all its human resources available and 8% is unsustainable. The US employment figures just came in last week and...

Yot, are you a female? because the female minimum for pushups is 9.

Oh yeah one thing they don‘t show you there is stairs, by the end of the course your hamstrings are gonna be steel. four or more times a day you will be going to your room on the 10th floor to the basement where the classes are. Carrying your ruck and your field kit up 10 flights after a field...

On all your CF PT tests, you will do them with your hands under shoulder with your chest going down a fist length away from the ground. nineteen is the minimum. If you want to get exempted from PT test for a year you will need a combined 70 betwwen pushups and situps. I actually found it...
