I'd like to chime in, as a lowly Sapper, if I may... I've gone on Ex's and been told, "We won't screw with you if we don't need to." As long as the task set before us is properly and timely done, then we are given some slack, because when you spend all day busting your ass in the field and you...

Depends on if you are married or not. When I was training full time, and I was officially common law, Rations and Quarters were not deducted from my pay, since essentially I would be paying them twice when I paid the rent and groceries. That was only applicable if I was married, because I HAD...

CP Gear was great to deal with, and the pads arrived within 4 days of my ordering them. I just finally got around to installing the pads in my freshly exchanged helmet... and wow! It's amazing how much better it feels on my head. I found for myself that it feels as though it reduces the weight...

+1 However... don't go to post secondary school just because you think you have to.... I did that, and now wish I hadn't, because I ended up changing majors and programs and eventually schools, and wasted a lot of time figuring out that I didn't like what I was doing. Figure out what program...

My first thought when I read the article was: "Of all the problems that they could be having... having TOO much kit is a nice one to have." I understand that it is a real problem, but at least they aren't having any problems when it comes to supply...

Wow. I know that when I went away from my wife for BMQ, BQ, BIQ and didn't come home for 9 months... she noticed a difference in me... wonder if that's a bad sign....? My question is; why isn't this happening in Canada? Or is it, and we just don't know about it?

So what about this then? Is he out to lunch? or what?

And the Dog wished to make of this thread an example of Lazarus..... and he made it so! Question related to this thread: Time In... the first 30 days of class B time is not considered day for day with the reg force, correct? Is this per contract? Or is it per year? If I go on an exercise that...

Before you get told by a hundred people to do a search.... (and you should have) Re-applying has a 6 month wait time.... and if the infantry trade is considered "red" you can't transfer out of it. 8 PL sucks, I've been there... and you will be on it the entire time you are waiting for your...

RTaylor, Whatever you decide, you must decide it with her input, otherwise, regardless of what she says now, she will resent you for leaving her for courses, training, deployment.... you have to make the decision a joint one. That she has come up with an idea of what being a sapper entails...

Here is the link to the Ontario Reserve job Protection bill, I imagine they will be similar across the country: http://www.search.e-laws.gov.on.ca/en/isysquery/9baa712e-9b09-42a7-bb00-0725724ddbdf/1/frame/?search=browseStatutes&context=

Aside from the mispelling..... Huh???

Me, Engineer. ;) This is news to me, and I'm no dinosuar.... but nonetheless; Seen.

So BMQ is now called BQ, and QL3's are now called BMQ? Does everyone on the site know this? All the recruit wannabes are now really excited about starting their BMQ, and they won't actually be doing that until they're on their 3rd course..... Oh, well..... as long as everyone knows what I mean...

Or if you can get in touch with a BPSO, they can send you a paper copy of it... when I was in Meaford, that stuff was floating around like confetti on new years in Times Square... It's educational material for people who want to know their options, you don't need sec. clearance to look at it.

Geo, I think you meant something other than "BMQ" ... What is the engineer QL3 called now anyway?

Excellent, Just ordered a pair.

How are you supposed to be able to tell what size to order?

Not a weekend course, it's going to be running full-time... I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks 2 months is a tad lengthy.

Recent research has proven to me that it's easy to find a 64 pattern ruck... I almost jumped at the chance to buy one, but since the new CTS ruck is being released into the system, I was wondering if it would be worth the expense, because rumour has it that once you've been issued the CTS ruck...
