I just recently came off of a DP1 Course due to injuries and I can tell you its as hard as you and your course makes it. It also really depends on your staff. I had an amazing course where the staff would only cock you when you deserved it rather than the usual courses where cock is on the...

I have spent a good while searching the OT section of these forums and have gotten mixed ideas. I'm currently in Meaford on a holding platoon waiting for the last course to start (which is actually going to be going on in Gagetown) and then after that there is no more training until Infantry...

Hey guys I have searched and could not find an answer so it was time to post. I'm currently doing my DP1 in Meaford right now, on week 6 and we had just finished our range week which included the ruck to and from the grenade range. For people who don't know the area it about a 9km ruck there...

We dont have an "issued" multi tool some of us have the cheep ones from the Canex at the mega others dont have anything.

Hey one of my buddies just got back from Farnham and he was telling me about all the stuff he did and whatever but he mentioned that he had been in situations where he had needed a knife and he was stuck using his little multitool and that a knife would have been helpful. I was wondering because...

Yeah I am aware of that. I do understand they dont want you to be training with a bunch of stuff on your weapon before you get the basics down.

Oh okay, guess you do learn something new everyday. and CDN Aviator, I'm sure heh. There is nothing more I can do to prepare other than what I am doing now. But I guess I will find out in 3 days :D As for searching. I did see the post about the Elcan vs EoTech but from what I understood from...

I have prepared as much as I can for BMQ and I am just curious, I dont see why that is a problem. Thanks for the answer though, I was under the understanding that troops couldnt modify they're weapons with un-issued kit, guess I was misinformed

I heard a rumor that the CF may be replacing the Elcan with EoTech sights. Is this confirmed?

I do not understand why you are acting like a prick. For your information, the corporal was a supervising instructor at St. Jean he told us that there are stuff in the joining instructions like Locks, bootshine kit towels, iron, bootstraps, lint brushes etc that they are ALL a waste of money to...

Well I just came back from my swearing-in ceremony and we talked with the corporal for a good 4 hours and one thing that we talked alot about was what to bring and what to wait to buy there. Really he only said to bring your civi clothes and your bathroom stuff like shaving cream, razors...

Yeah these screenshots are from the show The Unit. I was just interested because on the imdb website they say they're just a modified M16. But obviously I was mistaken, which is why i posted in the first place :D

Okay I am going off to BMQ in 3 days and I know after that I gotta do my SQ, MOC etc. My question is, during weapons training and qualifications, say I perform equally good on the c7, c8, and c9. Can I put in a request on what weapon to get. I know its up to them what I am assigned. I would...

Okay thanks alot, so it wasnt a m16a4 like it said on the site. The site said m16a4 but the picture said SR25. Thanks. I guess my 2nd question asking if it could be set up to work on a c7 but if its not a m16 I'm guessing not.

I'm sorry if this is an easy answer, but I'm not to weapon savy but I am very interested. What weapon is this? http://www.imfdb.org/images/c/c8/UnitSR25a.jpg http://www.imfdb.org/images/4/47/UnitSR25.jpg http://www.imfdb.org/images/4/42/UnitSR25c.jpg It says its an M16A4 which I can believe...

I dunno about you guys, but swearing in today at CFRC Toronto was a blast. Our Corporal was a hoot :D

I think there might have been a misinterpatation on what I meant. I wasn't specifically talking about SOF or Para. Although, yes, they are my main goal, but I am well aware of the timeframe to get where I want. What I meant was are there courses in general that only specific regiments and/or...

I have searched every topic to try to find an answer to this question and I have found little snippits that do answer certain parts of it so I decided to make a topic. My question is, is there any advantages to being in different regiments and/or batallions with regards to the type of training...

Does this sound right? I was told my start date for basic will be Sept. 8th but to come on the 7th but the 7th is a monday and the 8th a tuesday. After reading a bunch of posts they usually ask you to come on the sunday and you start the monday. I will check when I do my enrollment ceremony but...

I did look at wiki but I've learned not to trust that 100% I am curious about PPCLI because after my BMQ and such thats what regiment I'm going to be with.
