Judging by the ground... I'm willing to bet that, along with a newly aquired fear of guns, that troop learnt to strap on his helmet too. It appears as if the helmet flew off as he flew back.

I dont know about you, but if I truely wanted to get deployed, I wouldnt quit the army if I have to wait 1 more year to get fully trained. Of course its legit concern. Its not a good reason to quit over, though. It just shows a lack of dedication, and I'd pick the dedicated troop over the not...

Let me make something clear: If they're ready to quit over not being able to do BIQ this year, I dont think I want them with me. "OMG, I didnt get my course,  :crybaby: :crybaby: I'm going to quit!"  ::)

Indeed. Its lots of fun when everyone's sleep deprived for the first time, they put on their MNVGs and say that theres a batallion of troops approaching their position, because they dont know better. However, most of the hallucination stories like the whole trees/pop machine ones are...

How does the sleep going to look like? I sincerely hope that there will be a distinct lack of it, so that I and others get used to it and learn to better function without it.

Well, once again, it always depends on your course staff. Off course, you definitly will be allowed to use it, but on course some instructors have a problem with any nonissued kit. I dont see them having a problem with a camel back though, so you'll most likely (beyond a reasonable doubt) be...

Indeed. What I learnt to do, on the other hand, was to simply bring a spare gatorade bottle and that powdered gatorade... thats always good...

Indeed, and water should be available to prevent that heat-stroke, but there should be reason to ration it aswell. Sugar? I was under the impression that sugar DEhydrates you... Didnt happen, and I wouldnt blame anyone if it did. It is extremely important to learn to ration your water, and I...

Actually, I think it would be a good idea to make the troops have to ration their water. I remember once on BIQ when preparing to head out on a raid... I had about 3/4 of a canteen before hand, and figured I'd be able to refill when needed. About 1 hour into the ruck march, my canteen was...

I wonder if Mr. Charles Noriski is a  code name for Chuck Noris, and the rotary action is a slick way of saying "roundhouse kick"...

Actually it would make sense, with how SQ is structured now. BMQ and SQ could be done throughout the training year at the unit level or simply as BMQ is being run now, thus leaving a whole summer to do BIQ, which, as the trade course, is most important.

Actually I dont... I want to push myself and force myself to do my job with little sleep. Then I wont come back saying "that was easy"

Great song for the movie. Anyone know what song it is?

Alright, thanks for the input.

Faced with strong competition by the numerous Canadian recruitment and training video's, Al Qaida has decided to create its own training video, to inspire the masses. http://www.flurl.com/item/Doing_Jihad_u_92767/ Now ppl, I know some of you are pretty embarrassed by some of our videos and...

I hope so. I'd hate for it to be a repeat of Vigilant Thrust. Aside from OBUA, this whole 3 block war stuff is not nearly as fun as the old cold war doctrine :( Gotta be done though... and thats why I hope that on VG they stick to worst case scenarios to prepare us for actually surviving, rather...

Well, I found BIQ to be loads more fun than a simple "dig a trench for a week and sit in it" ex. Its much more interesting, and the OBUA they had us do at the end of it was amazing. As for this: When all the exaggeration is cut out of that, it translates down to: "well until my SQ ex and my...

I heard them say last year that there WOULD be MILES and Sim gear on VG! They cancelled all of that!? God damn. So is this purely a remake of Vigilant Thrust or something? Please, for gods sake, tell me theres going to be OBUA or SOMETHING exciting!

How about MILES gear? in SG05, we didnt get any, and it would have been quite useful...

lmfao. "Timothy of Canada..."
