    Useful things to read going into Basic

    Fitness .. God yes. If anything, read about proper running form and how to develop better speed/technique.

    Question about Soldier Qualification ( SQ)

    Meaford. Lovely Meaford.

    Useful things to read going into Basic

    Lock picking and what not will not in any way help you on BMQ, neither would the Art of War - although it is a great read from a brilliant strategist. Books about rifles, how they work, etc, are worth the read because if you understand how rifles work inside and out it makes learning the C7...

    Afghan Roto in Aug 06

    Yea know who got the position in A Sqn, can't help but feel envious but whatever they deserve it far more than I. Medic, Harding, thanks for the advice.

    Afghan Roto in Aug 06

    And the odds for a newly trained Private to go on this tour are .. what? I'm the new RMS for the RCD ROR. I've been told I do not have a good chance to go as I'm not in a Squadron yet, yet there are sometimes exceptions and thus remains a slight glimmer of hope. Should I continue to look...

    Borden vs St. Jean

    They were in the H club. It was Thursday night and unless it was that crack I smoked earlier, I heard a large group of them bragging about the field and whatever else they did to some girls, being regulars there, weren't impressed. The fact that no one has ever seen their faces before, they all...

    New Army.ca Style

    Ah good, was wondering about the PM thing. Now that that's settled, this is a much better layout. Looks cleaner and sharper.

    The Life of a Sig Op

    Don't fall asleep in the smoke tents (hard to do now since its winter but still). A certain Highlander MCpl likes to "wake" those who nod off. And pay attention to some of the cap badges.. There are few Master -Bombadiers- not Corporals, there, and they will get real pissed at you real fast if...

    Sig Op

    My roomate on my QL3 course was 51, and fitter than most of the people on it. So at 29 you have nothing to worry about.

    Borden vs St. Jean

    I fully see and understand what you're saying, however the entirety of what I witnessed just struck me as wrong somehow

    Borden vs St. Jean

    I suppose I'll have to stick my head out for someone to plink off and say this: From what I and my friends on our threes (and other people on their 3's/5's I've talked to personally) seen, can't say I have been really impressed with what I saw the recruits doing in Borden. Seen them way too...

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    Whooptie freakin doo. I had a utterly lousy high school record, and I mean lousy. I have a grand total of two university courses under my belt.I put it this way: I wasn't even going to be considered for officer. Fast forward half a year later, and I'm with the RCD and loving it. Marks - are -...

    Know its not Hollywood BS but that flip out part was just retarded

    Jarhead

    I couldn't tell if I was watching Jarhead or FMJ. Overall, average movie. Wouldn't see it again though. ***SPOILER WARNING IF ANYONE STILL CARES AT THIS POINT*** The part where he freaked out and made buddy there recite the creed was too much like Pvt Pyle in FMJ. Way too much. The creed...

    Some Reserve Pay questions

    If only people paid as much attention to their pay stub/check when they think they should get more money as they should when they owe back money..

    Age Limits to Join

    My room mate is 51 years old. He runs further than I can and can do one arm pushups. In one of our PT classes where we had to each come up and give 1 minute of an exercise, he made us do diamond pushups then hold them halfway down and he outlasted pretty much everyone. 51 years old. Former RCR...

    Ottawa Remembrance Day

    I've personally overheard a few people on my QL3 sister course complain about wearing them and actually trying to think of a way to get out of it. I couldn't believe my goddamn ears.

    Nov 11 - Parade Requirement

    Must be nice to go on the November Remembrance day parade. I was looking forward to it but unfortunately my tunic on backorder just arrived today at CFSAL sans decals and ... everything. I'm now the boxed lunch guy for tomorrow. I'm thinking about giving myself a blanket party. One thing I'm...

    Leave Policy – Christmas / Holidays [Merged]

    Depends on his staff  Meaford is a lovely hour and a half drive or so from Borden, he'll probably have the joy of going there. Not much. Even if he has a cell phone, because instructors and random senior NCO's are hiding behind bushes and sitting in trees with binoculars looking for someone...
