Really.....that is good to know that Ottawa has posting for CELE folks. What is the name of this place in Ottawa?

For those that have gone thru basic and done this, what tips do you have for us noobs going in soon? By that I mean what to expect, at what level does one start picking up the pace, keys to finishing it under time et al. For example, I need to clear level 5.5, at what point should I be putting...

Found this info: Q: How long is the shuttle run from start to level 6.5? A: The run is EXACTLY six minutes and 30 seconds. From stage six to six and a half there are only two laps. However, they are the fastest laps! its something like 52 times back and forth each stage is 8, 20 meter...

Thanks for that. I looked up my age group 35-39, and it says I need level 5.5. Am sure if I push myself hard enough, I should be able to make that level, I'll hate to have to go to RFT. I guess it helps to keep up with the group also eh

Wow....Newmet, you gave a good insight into what to expect at st jean and I like the picture you painted of the test, it really put things into perspective. One thing am still not clear on though, if we are not going to be tested on the 2.4km run, why is it everywhere that you have to finish in...

Thanks for this mate! I did everything you suggested and  I went back to my old adidas running shoes, as supposed to the new "new balance 858 acteva ) I got. I found that the new balance were slightly heavy on my feet cos they were size 13 ( my running shoe size ) from that manufacturer, bu the...

Thanks for that! I ask because I read somewhere of people taking ephedrine and caff to burn fat quickly, and Whey ON protein powder to build muscles. Just wanted to know if protein powder and fish oil are legal. Cheers PS: so from what I read in the link above, carb intake is important for...

Hi guys, Just wondering what the CF take is on things like protein powder, fish oil and other endurance supps before one leaves for basic?  Apart from steroids and drugs, what other stuff does one have to stay away from? I am sorry if this question has been asked before

Was this on the road on a treadmill? I am going to try the track at the school near me this weekend, while my wife times me. Now at st jean, how is the 2.4km race tested, do we do it in groups? I just thought that might help boost one another

Thanks for the encouragement. As an Arsenal fan true and true, I despise Ronaldo  ;D One week he is in Italy lapping it up and then the following week he is in crutches. I guess you can't dive in crutches.

From a persoanl point of view, I'll say wear dress clothes or a suit. I say this because the day I went into my recruiting office, they commented about my outfit, that "I am looking really smart". I was wearing a suit that day, and I think that might have shown that you are serious and not just...

Out of Hamilton as well, and yes the staff there are wicked  :salute:

I did good at swimming today, with the help of a life jacket, I swam on my back the length of the pool ( 25m ) and back, which is one of the test we are going to have to do for the forces basic training. So am confident that I can swim the 50m part of the test, and for the 20m somersault, I'll...

Anyone swearing in, in Hamilton On for the Aug 18th start date at st jean? The original swearing in date of Aug 6th has changed

Do any of you use the "roll on" stuff for muscle and cramp pains? Just want to know if they work and which one to get

Similar question to the one above......I have a wife and 2 kids, what is the process of sending packages to st jean, and receiving it? By that I mean the mailing process. Is it possible to receive phone calls whilst there?

I understand that. Any CELE bases in Ottawa? I ask because if there is, then the wife will be able to transfer to their Ottawa office.

Thanks fellas! I know I can do this, and in my hay days, I could have blasted thru' 2.4km in 9 mins or less. My last full 26.2 miles marathon in LA, was 8 years ago. I am now 35 and been married for 5yrs. See what marriage does to ya  ;D Running alone doesn't help either, I know if I was in a...

So I went out this morning, and did the 2.4km in 16:26mins, this is an improvement on my 22:01mins from last week. I am not happy with this time obviously, and want to bring it down to within the allowed time for people my age group, 35 and over. This time around, I didn't start of sprinting, I...

For all the Aug 18th crew, just 1 month before we all meet in St Jean eh  :salute:
