Ahh, thanks PuckChaser that's a neat bit of info.

So...looking at some of the previous comments, why does 1 Div want JSR to be 'army' and does that mean JSR sends people to deployments like Libya where its primarily Air Force? 

Okay...newbie pte question!  Whats this about JSR not being army?  How  does that work?  And no BFT?  Guess that means no more ruck jogs or gas mask rucks :(

Yeah, did the Bro thing, Complete accident, it was dark.  I seriously thought I was going to be PRB'ed right on the spot and kicked out of the CF.  One of the sgts from basic still reminds me of it to this day, he thought it was hilarious.  And thanks again folks for taking the time to answer...

Ack!  I'll tell them to bring it up again at work tomorrow to make sure they at least have it submitted.  It was kind of gong show because someone somewhere was insisting you need a dwan email account to get it started until someone else advised you can just have one of the security folks type...

I swear I'm not one of those!  I don't cause admin for anyone, the only thing that gets you in trouble worse than being a poor runner is being that guy who causes admin for your MCpl.  Or if you mistakenly slap your WO on the chest and call him 'Bro' during BMQ.  (Don't do that fyi). I didn't...

Please no MP's...dealt with them enough since I got here...repeat after me I will not speed I will not speed sigh.

That link doesn't seem to work...I assume its dwan? There are only 3 of us with dwan accounts,  I'll ask my mcpl if I can print er out for them.  Thanks RadOp.

Noooo!  Not the cave....send me on a 10k run instead anything but the cave.  I did a quick check today...we have one guy with Sysco network certs and thats it.  And now off to the field to learn about setting up dets!  Well...once we find a milcot to slave start our lsvw's...all 8 of them won't...

I went to St Lawrence for computer engineering and software development, I can make webpages in html/css/java and stuff, my photoshop skills are rusty though.  Are we talking server side development like SQL/PHP or just "Make a website that isn't a can of smashed assholes"? I'm pretty sure I'm...

Yeah...I think I might want to be hitting the track more.  Ahh well, its the army, suck it up and get better.

Heh, well at least you folks seem eager to receive us (Thanks again for taking the time to respond and give us more details).  Its going to be great interacting with a CoC who doesn't treat us like we have the plague lol. Some of the guys (not me, I'm single and have a house here already) are...

Very cool, even though I'm thinking I want to be IST (Whenever I say that every staff member at CFSCE laughs and gives me this odd look  :-[ ) our course at the last minute got two days of lineman stuff added like how to work with CAT-5e and we now have a day on the field ex where we act as a...

Thanks a bunch for that info ArmyVern , the PT will be great to get back into as we're definitely not where we want to be on that.  I know I'm personally looking forward to actually doing stuff and being useful, well...sorta useful at least.  The vast majority of us are just depressed at this...

But  they never mentioned the 3 sacred words...sigh.  Those were probably there with all the other stuff that we got told about but never learned.  A bunch of the guys are moving their families here for the first time so any info along those lines would be good too.  And fyi out of 23 grads...

Hey folks.  Myself and about 6 others just got our posting messages and we're coming to JSR at the end of March from ACISS DP1.0 over at CFSCE.  We've heard a ton of differeng rumors from so many different people about the unit and such that most of us are just confused lol.  Is there anyone...

Perhaps it might be beneficial to combine the BMQ Nov groups into one group on Facebook?  That way the guys coming at the end of the month will have some contacts with people already on course etc. Not sure what benefit that would provide, but it sounds good.  And right now I'm a touch loopy...

Thanks, now to just keep busting my butt with the running and pushups.  I'm lucky I live with a reg force captain as a room-mate who's giving me the 'encouragement' to jog and such.  He even got me out to the range to fire an AR-15 (Havn't shot anything bigger then a .22 for 10 years).  Do you...

Thought I would jump in, havn't posted in a very long while.  I've also been accepted, going to BMQ Nov 29 in St. Jean.  Insanely excited to go to something thats going to challenge the hell out of me.  Going in as an LCIS tech.  Right now I'm doing software development/business analyst stuff...

Hi everyone, Some backstory, I went to air cadets growing up, I'm from a family originally from Greece, so all the men in my family had the mandatory military service that was required back then, as well has having both Grandfathers fight in WW2.  All of these factors really made an impression...
