I wasnt advocating chosing a trade based on that. I was merely trying to show that he didnt give enough info to help him out.

Who volunteered and knew all the risks, by the way. Really? Thats odd... the name of the website is only army.ca... who would have thought...?

Look at it this way: If you apply, you have a chance. If you dont, you dont have any chance. I was considering applying, until I found that they didnt have the courses I wanted...

They'll know what you did last summer  :o

Hey now, give me a map and I'll find out where I am or where I was, but I dont consciously calculate the exact grid location we're at... I've got too much responsibility as it is being the gunner AND being a pacer ;)

Wow... he joined the army 3 years ago and he's already a Sgt?

From what others say, it apparently doesnt happen. Why would you need to kick the jaw shut when the body is already in the rear? Not to steal Armymedic's thunder or anything, but I dont think he was talking about when the soldier's dead. As he said, the medic has to go to the body and confirm...

From what I remember, you break the bottom part off and take it with you. You also take an 8 figure grid reference of where the body is, so that afterwards the body can be located and given a proper burial.

Well, he is growing old, weak, and possibly sick. Showing a video of an old, weak and sick man isnt really the best way to create support.

Well, based on ALL of the info you gave there...  ::) Although I dont think this really matters, I will point out that, being 6'7, you'll stand out like a sore thumb during any sort of attack, so attention is likely to be braught to you, meaning that you could very well be attracting fire ;)

The difference would be the amount of experience due to the reserves being part time. Why should there BE any other difference? Why would it require waaaayyy more money to judge reservists by the same standards they judge the reg force? Although it is benificial in a world war type scenario...

Although I'm only a Pte with limited time in, I agree. I've seen too many people who shouldnt have passed, pass.  These people then go on to give a bad name to reservists. I have heard of people doing their leadership course, and only 1/4 of the people passing. Good. I dont want unqualified...

Well, if you do get in (which is a big if if your back is giving you problems) be prepared to suck it up. You'll have to run for longer than 20 minutes, and you'll have ruck marches to deal with aswell.

Wow... It went through his right arm, through his chest, and exited through the left arm? That must have been a lucky shot, no?

Lets make it a CF wide event!

Which one is that? I've seen all of season 2, but a long time ago...

Wow, thats interesting. We rucked around town in FFO with our weapons and no one complains here... we just get a bit of stupid comments: "Uhh, are those real?"

Im not advocating it at all. Hence why I also proposed much less practicle ideas in order to take it with you.

I quickly realised that the amount you think you can do (which was around 2.4 km) before basic training quickly doubles when theres more motivation :D In the first couple of days of SQ, they made us run 5k... Never done that before then.

Well, as 48th said, best thing to do would to stop at some isolated location and just go in the forest. Other than that, there are always other options, although not all very practical. Personally, I think that, although you might get some odd stares and such, if you did go into timmies with a...
