Holy Crap!  I'll need at least a day to figure this out...thanks for the link though

What is the VO2?  Van Gemeren said that his VO2 wasn't good enough in the physical.  Is that the Cardio test?

Hey Bob, I'm in the Langley area as well and am currently in the application process.  I've been hitting the gym pretty hard as well lately over at the Walnut Grove Community Centre.  We should definitely get together for some training.  I find another person there is always better for...

I saw it the other day and I must say that this one made up for the last 2 which were pretty poor IMHO.  I liked that Lucas made this one darker and more serious as compared to Eps 1 and 2 which seemed more like Disney movies then anything else.  I thought Hayden Christensen also made up for...

I spoke to someone who knows a Captain in the Int Branch and he was saying that the Int trade is very stressed right now and if you have the right qualifications the Int Branch may take you through the DEO program.  This is apparantly quite rare but hey, its worth a try if Int is your ultimate goal.

Just out of curiousity.  As far as the Physical Test goes, is it based on a pass/fail system, or is it based on how much you can do? So for example, someone does the minimum but still passes, and another person does way more push ups and sit ups and passes, are they graded equally?  Or do the...

You gotta start small.  Don't jump right into hardcore training.  Doing your first run with 10lb weights is just going to ruin your body and your motivation.  Set realistic goals and then build yourself up.  You'll be amazed at how quickly you will improve. For example...start by doing a light...

$2000 a year...hey its better then a kick in the a$$.

I was wondering about how much weight (roughly) does one carry when doing the Ruck Marches in BMQ.  I am planning on putting Ruck Marching into my training schedule so that I can prepare myself for that aspect of Basic Training.  My idea is to get a good, sturdy hiking backsack and just stuff it...

The DND recruting site notes under the Intelligence Officer job description that in special circumstances the Int Branch will recruit applicants directly through the DEO program, this is usually reserved for persons with unique linguistic abilities.  You might want to consider that. Have you...

English, French, Hungarian (Both parents are from there, grew up speaking it in the house) and a smattering of German

The case doesn't really matter guys...he wasn't there for the case...he was there for Seamus...don't you get it...he never left...he never left...

There's a Canadian serving in the Aussie Army who frequents this board...I'm sure he might be able to help.

" Now this is one thing I really don't like about society, it seems to have gone away from the "take your licks and accept it, there are just some fights you lose" and into the "take your licks and incite reprisals until you have a big enough number you can put someone in a hospital." As...

Well this is not really military related, hence the fact that I put it in the Off Topic section. So I was at the bar the other night with a good mate of mine.  As per usual, at the end of the night a big fight breaks out in the parking lot between a group of drunken boneheads and another squad...

I just got back from CFRC Vancouver like an hour ago and they showed me a list with the projected intake numbers for DEO.  He didn't tell me when the selection board would meet. Infantry: 60 Armour: 15 Arty: 18 These were the numbers if I remember correctly....they could be off on the Armour...

"CHEW? Man thats gross. Ask any woman what they think of guys who chew........ But I guess its cool if your into looking like you just ate a big s*** sandwich." Ask any woman what they think of guys who smoke!

Does the CF have anything like the British Army Physical Training Corps?  That might be an option, getting into something like that with the CF.  Although like Che said Kinesiology can be applied in many different areas and not just for teaching gym class.  I know a couple of people with...

Really? When I went into the CFRC in Vancouver the Sgt I spoke to gave me his card and a direct line to contact him.  Usually I get a voicemail so I just leave a message and he calls me back. Maybe you should go in person one day and establish a contact with someone.  Its not that hard.
