I think about $13 or $15 for FoA. (I remember this summer TD was actually more then FoA, which didn't make a lot of sense to me) Anyway, if you're looking to do BMQ/SQ with the reserves this summer I'm from Hamilton and my unit (as the entire comm res does) sends their basic/sq candidates to...

Anyone have an article on this? Interested to read up on it.

My experience was the same as Des's, we did PT at least 3 times a week like clockwork and more upper body PT throughout the day then my BMQ/SQ. The only thing lacking really was ruck marches.

lol, well Des if you saw me walking around without a jacket last weekend and you were wondering why theres your reason. I was so happy we were in civis.

Nearest "true" ASU is about an hour away, and almost impossible for me to make as I work 8:30-4:30 every day driving away from my unit and my ASU. Pretty much the only time I can do it is on my parade night or a weekend. Regardless I'll be putting in a memo and going to talk with my SQMS on...

I'm a reservist, if you're really curious on more info you can check my profile. During my 3's this past summer my crse warrant decided he wanted us all to have the IECS combat jackets for inspection. I still had the old denim one. He gave us an extended lunch to go to the base clothing stores...

Perhaps we're in a potential combat situation in harsh terrain and "potential bidders" have nothing that performs to the standards that we need. Christ, they want us to lower our standards so they can make bids and we won't be able to use their equipment in the place thats causing us to buy this...

i believe i had a bottle that was 95% issued to me right before I left for basic. It exploded in my buttpack at some point and ate straight through the plastic ziplock bag it was in. And then you understand why they say never apply directly to skin...

Shilo truly is not that bad.. 2 months there and a time you will not easily forget. Everything said about it is true, its got its good and bad points. Whoever said that about the hills is damn right. Suddenly you're in the training area and you're doing a night combat patrol down a steep incline...

Anyone know it and willing to type it out? I'm interested, and impatient for the next night at the mess lol. So if someone doesnt mind sending it to me I know parts are lewd, so PM will do. Thank you in advance if you do.

I'm curious how other people with these foot problems deal with staying fit and staying on courses? I did my BMQ and SQ this summer with the comm res in Shilo and had no clue before that time that I had flat feet. The CF dr that did my medical exam didn't say anything, my family dr has never...

To me, this kind of story has the biggest chance of affecting morale. Here we have some industrious, smart thinking logistic RESERVISTS, who are enthusiastic and apparently do their job well. They know they have to get the supplies to the guys on the pointy end!! Not only did they get ripped...

I find this very sad that those reservists who did not do their mission because of equipment aren't being court martialled but these soldiers will be for doing what we're taught: Finding a way to complete the mission. [ Article ] Six reservists, including two veteran officers who had...

I was taking accutane during my recruitment process and was denied on my medical until I was off it with copies of a post liver function test and a note from my dermatologist stating I was finished and no future treatments were needed. I also had it explained to me that once in the CF, CF dr's...

Ridiculous, 868 m "isnt that much"? The effective range of a C7 isn't even that far, even with a section. I've never fired past 300 yards and only with 5.56 but that was challenging enough, especially with a rundown. Combat situation + 950 yards, 4/4 hits. Amazing shooting.

I didn't even change bases, instructors, or anything between courses and they still made us write 2 seperate auto-biographies. All we did was eat, drink and breath basic for 4 weeks and we had to rewrite the exact same thing for the exact same people. So, judging by that I'm assuming you'll be...

I've met the man behind Argyll_recruiting .. he convinced me that if you're not joining my unit in this area, you should definitely join the Argyll's! Met your Cambrian Patrol Team while at Borden, though. Ran the obstacle course with us, and I must say.. they kicked our asses. Looks like a...

Ah Wes thanks for answerring a big question I've had. We were taught during my basic to press with the thumb, so I learned all my drills doing it that way. Once I got back to my unit we did basic handling again almost immediately, and a Master Corporal made sure in no unclear terms that we were...

hitting it with the palm of your hand is meant to help push the bolt that last bit forward into proper position for an initial shot.

Good luck, I leave for basic tomorrow and have been trying for the last week to call my units orderly room to get my Military ID which was supposed to be arriving by mail 2 wks ago. Noones gotten back to me so I can only assume it'll be given to me tomorrow when I show up at the unit for the...
