RoyalDrew, I'm curious as to why you think of Ontario as its own country. You're not the first person I've spoken to to draw those parallels.

No one knows what the fiscal state of the Province will be by then. The infrastructure from the Pan Am and Para Pan Am games will still be around. Likely the new stadium in Markham will be built as well. I imagine the city will see a massive amount of tourism dollars from those in the US and...

I hope Toronto bids for and gets the Olympics. I can't imagine any other city in Canada representing what this country is all about along with representing all those teams that'll participate in the Olympic games. I'm sure every team will have hundreds if not thousands of fans who, although they...

R.I.P  :cdn:  :'(

I wasn't familiar with AMA and looked it up and that's what I'm looking for. If something similar were to be done here it would be great

Since this site has several members who are current CAF personnel might I suggest a Q&A with one a week, month or whenever it can be done? For example, a Infantry NCM who can take questions from users with regards to daily routine, garrison duties, tips on how to be good Infanteers etc. Then the...

Would you mind elaborating on that? I know Infantry DP1 is tough but do many people not make it?

Thanks, mariomike! I had no idea the TPL provided such a thing. I have just two blocks from where I live so I'll definately check it out

When attempting to access "Submissions" and "Feedback" under the Admin tab I am met with a 404 error.

I'm considering looking into one of those services that looks into your ancestry. Given that many Indian's and African's were brought over to the country I can't say where exactly my ancestors come from. I'm pretty sure India but who knows

Oh boy. Isn't that considered sexual assault when someone kisses you without permission?

I'll give it my all. I can't predict the future and don't know whether I'll make it in but regardless I am behaving, eating, training like I got the call for Basic.

Definitely agree and truth be told I may not even make it into the CAF but just would like to know what's possible and what may lie ahead for me. Thanks for your advice

Great info. How much attention do you guys pay to cardio? Is that the most important aspect of physical training I should focus on? I recently began "bulking" and have gone from 140 lbs to 143 in about a month. I can run 5km in under 25 minutes and am now looking to do 6km runs and beyond. I...

In regards to exercises I mean international exercises, working with other Combat Arm branches, competitions etc Thanks, Lightfighter. How long after DP1 can a NCM be eligible for these types of courses? Are courses like Communications, Driver Wheel more common whereas Basic Para, Basic Recce...

Can any current Infantry soldiers provide a look into how life as an Infantry soldier in 2015 in the Regular Force is now? I'm looking for information regarding - What exercises do you go on? - How often are courses like Basic Para, Driver Wheel are available? - How often do you now spend in...

I get your frustration with regards to being left in the dark but realize that this website either has information you seek already, buried in one of the subforums, or can be obtained by inquiring with your local CFRC. If they were to entertain any and all questions that would take up serious...

Oh no I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. Matter of fact that's a great icebreaker when at bars.  :nod:

I always found it funny when people say "I don't look Guyanese". When someone would tell me their background I would try to find features in their face or hair that would make me go "that's right! He or she is that". Since I can remember people would ask if I'm mixed with [insert European...

My ex-girlfriend's dad is Irish-Welsh while her mother is Dutch-German and her story is similar to yours, in some ways. A complicated and long list of family history which still confuses me to this day. She said it best when asked "What do you tell people you are" and she said "I'm white".
