I am joining for reasons. Reasons include: Pride. How can my kids be proud of me working in a Call Centre. The smiles on their faces seeing me in uniform, know that in one way or form that I am serving and protecting the country they live in is enough for me. Security. Pension, Benefits, a...

So, I've been really busy the last week, however that has not stopped me from going to the gym. Finally started my couch to 5k regiment (thanks guys) and successfully completed week 1 day 1. By the end of it my chest was really tight, but I've been cutting back on the smoking and it was -5 out...

To be honest, a CFAT is an alternate schoolcard. And Some things come naturally to some, not to others. I shouldn't say that a 17yr old who writes the CFAT and is eligible for all should drop high school at all, but it does help to give the chance to a 30-year old who wasn't the greatest in...

Sorry George, what I meant to ask, is that since she was in the USMC, some of the papers to her release she's not able to gain access to. I was being hurried off the computer before I finished that post. I meant to say that since she was part of the American military, are there any extra hoops...

Hey all, my wife was a US Marine, she was 'kicked out' during their version of Basic Training because she hurt her ankle. Mind you, the USMC at Parris Island didn't want to put up really with recoursing, so she left and went back home. She came up here and hooked up with me, don't judge her for...

It may be a long process, but its the Canadian Forces ensuring that you and the rest of the Forces are serving with the best of the best. My wife is an American who is a former US Marine, and what she said from just watching 'Basic Up' is that our training and selection process is more...

Final, I like your train of thought, ahaha.

Just putting this in here more for my reference as a 'check list' to show how long its personally taking me for everything: Recruiting Centre: Moncton Regular/Reserve: Regular Officer/NCM: NCM Trade Choice 1: AC OP Trade Choice 2: COMM RSCH Trade Choice 3: ATIS TECH Application Date: Bringing...

Fitness Update! Weight- 208lbs Pushups- 25 Crunches- 30 Slowly but surely. I should add my running achievements. However, that would be blank:)

She plays rugby, is a teacher now, I'm a 'trying not to be overweight' military hopeful'. I figured she was right behind me. At least she let me hide in her car.

... so easy a caveman could do it! Sorry, just had to say it.

Funny I had this discussion. Last night, I went for a walk on a dimly lit trail with my ex-girlfriend. Something started moving around in the bushes, then there was massive splashing under the small walking bridge we were on. I started booting it out of the woods, was about a 2-minute run...

Moncton, NB, haha, little ways away but that would have been good. Roadtrip, haha

Was able to continuously cruise on the elliptical for 30mins at speeds of 10kph to 11kph. Starting the Couch to 5k podcast tonight. There are some crazy raccoons out lately so if you don't hear an update tonight I more or less contracted rabies

I have an iPod I should be able to play it on. I'll take a gander. Thanks:)

Thanks for the encouragement all. I won't be satisfied with my health until I can jog continuously for 5km. Any tips would be greatly appreciated concerning cardio-improving regiments etc. I have the work out part done, its just the actual running outside that I'm finding the most difficult. I...

Fitness Update! Weight- 209lbs Pushups- 25 Crunches- 30

Hey all. Here's my first official update. I went into the recruitment center to write my CFAT. Although portions of it were by far difficult, not much of a mathematician, I am eligible for all trades! So now my journey has taken an extraordinary step forward towards bringing in my application...

Thanks for all the answers! Just to be safe, I ordered my work history from Service Canada by faxing them my request. They're mailing it within the week. It wasn't so much the places I worked or reasons I left, but was more along the lines of missing months and disorganization as a teen.

Thank you for the tip rabbit. I am doing crunches, I guess I always assumed crunches and sit ups were the same, but no thanks to your wiki link, I see the subtle difference. After I get home from work I'm going to crunch through some math.com. I know that 'don't ask, don't tell' about the...
