Good. The man's a loon. I believe his motives are in the right place, but his actions are so far from excusable he needs to be muzzled.

Half true: Our units were, and are now again, part of the same BN, but our logos (were) different until 1 April 11 Service history: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/11SERVICE_BATTALION/history_e.html and crest: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/11SERVICE_BATTALION/crest-and-colours_e.html 12 Service...

So that was you guys eh? I was there for my last weekend of BMQ this weekend. We all had a good chuckle as we were no longer the lowest form of life at Work Point. We could smell the fear and apprehension wafting from your group on sunday morning in the chow hall as we left for grad parade...

After a short grad parade yesterday, my BMQ is now complete. I was fortunate enough to finish as Top Candidate, too. I feel doubly honoured by this, as we had a lot of very determined, high quality folks on course. I'm now awaiting to receive confirmation on my BMQ-L course in June.

Very good point.

Done the drag three times now. Once on a concrete parade square, and twice on grass. The drag vs. lift really depends on the torso length ratio of you and your partner. It's tough if you're short to lift a taller guy high enough off the ground, and still be able to pull him along. For some it's...

Lordco Auto Parts (at least around Victoria, BC) offers 30% off for DND employees with ID. ABC Country Restaurants in the same area offers 25% off for the same.

Honestly, I'm unsure about the training of the Ocdts. and and 2Lts. in the Reserves. We are down to one of each on course now. The 2Lt is on a DEO program apparently, but again, I don't know all the details 100%, so I'll say nothing so as not to mislead you. I believe I heard them talking about...

Pushing on, course is almost over now. We had our CBRN weekend come and go two weeks back. Pretty straight forward stuff, but I was rear ended on the highway friday morning before course, so shaking my head around in the gas hut with helmet and respirator sucked pretty bad. Almost worse than the...

Good grief. I hope that we never see those laws over here, but I fear we're heading in that direction already.

Weekend six came and went. We did some firefighting work at CFB Esquimalt yesterday, and had our C7 Weapons Test today. Most of us got past that one too. I thought I had bobbled on one of my IAs, but I guess I was over thinking my performance. Full pass and moving on. My section is really...

Saw another ultrasound today, looks like a boy. The ultrasound tech told us with 99.9% certainty that we were looking at a dude, and that's good enough for me. The wife's a  little bummed, cause she'll still be the only female in the house, but I'm stoked cause I'll only have one dick to worry...

Great day to be Canadian indeed! A couple of us stopped for coffee on the way home from BMQ today, and were saluted by some hose head wearing a flag for a cape and his buddy. Everyone is just stoked over here in Victoria too.  I hope this high lasts a while, we need some good vibes to be spread...

We passed our first big inspection from the Course Warrant, and all but a couple of us got through the drill test this weekend. I know this coursed is condensed vs. the reg force course, but I'm still amazed at the level of progress I've seen in the people around me over the course of 4 busy...

To the OP, yes the black long nylons are the ones being referred to. If your course is being run like mine, your course staff will understand that you don't have a piece of issued kit if the problem lies with a lack of supply. They will advise you as to what you should lay out instead, or not to...

Right on dude!

Our course only has one platoon, and the 2Lts and the OCdts are mixed right in with the rest of us. They share rooms with the Pte. Recruits too. Good bunch of guys, and I think it's beneficial for them to see how things go for us, and I like the fact that I know what they have gone through for...
