Another quick update: I'm currently on weekend leave after my first week in Farnham. (Range week) Starting week 10 on Monday, back at the Mega. This week includes CBRN classes and training, our final PT test, and the Division Commander's inspection. At the end of the week I'll be doing the gas...

Happy Birthday Des!! Although I'm still not thrilled you decided to go and get posted to Edmonton after I leave and come out this way...  ;) But I digress... Best of luck out in Alberta! Hope this is a great year for you! Glad I got to see you before you left.  :)

Another little update: I'm starting week 7 of my BMQ on Tuesday. Grad week is week 13, so that means only about 5 more weeks of course after this coming week. 3 of those weeks are in Farnham. I received my rifle this past week, and I am told I have to name it. So far I haven't though. Thursday...

I see Camochick around the mega most days, as she has ended up living on the floor right below me. We usually pass eachother on our way to meals. We've had a chance to stop and chat a bit in the stairwells a time or two, but other than that it's hard to talk much since our schedules are packed...

Hey guys! Since I am on my Platoon's first weekend off, I thought I'd post an update. Things are going well. I received my "five" on Friday. We also got our capbadge's and completed our first rucksack march this past week. I'm really enjoying being on course. My staff are awesome, and so are the...

Figured I had better start this thread while I still have access to a computer today. Heading back to the Mega very soon.... blah! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HitorMiss!! Hope this is a great year for you! (even if you are getting old.... lol)

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on the site. I can only read the site at the mega on the computers, as it doesn't allow me to post. Guess I should provide an update on me now that I have some time. Not everyone knew, but I was on the RFT program for the past bit. Had a nice...

Now this looks like fun... too bad my life is kinda restricted right now. Guess I'll have to share what I currently eat, breathe, & sleep in.  ;D

They never checked my bags when I arrived in St.Jean in May. They told me what I cannot have, then walked out of the room and said I had 5 minutes to get rid of anything I shouldn't have. (food, drugs, alcohol..etc) I brought 2 sets of everything and haven't had any trouble on any inspections...

I figured I should post again before I head off to St. Jean. The movers came on Monday and packed my place up and took it away to storage. I spent 2 nights in my empty apartment, and then headed home to my Mom's place for the past couple days. I just finished packing finally. I really need to...

The way it was explained to me by my file manager, is basically it is a huge "wait and see". Depends when your next course starts and whatnot. She said there is a possibility of getting sent to my next course location, or PAT and having time to wait before my course starts, and as such being...

Joining instructions say to have the autobiography already prepared when we arrive, but from what I have been told by someone instructing, we'll be told to redo them once we arrive. Ah well, at least I'll have something to go off of and just re-write. I too wish it was tomorrow rharding. I've...

I plan to catch Spiderman 3 on it's release date next Friday, before I head to St.Jean early Saturday morning. Not sure Mom will be thrilled I am taking off to the theatre on my last night around, but meh. I really want to see it! I also want to see Shrek 3, so I guess I'll have to head into...

Listening now, excellent as always HoM.

Pfft we know you like the "stardom". Have at 'er Oakley Boy.

I just listened as well. Excellent points on all fronts HoM. Very well done!

I know exactly what you mean! Vernon killed my boots more than once! 6 weeks in that place and my boots would be in dire need of being stripped once I got home.

I actually don't mind doing boots at all.. Hmm, ask me again in 14 weeks. It may have changed.

Don't worry about asking questions. They weren't silly. Besides, you're already in and won't have to deal with the recruiting centre after this. I was given what I was told is a "posting message". That's all I know. Says where I am going, for how long, and what course.

I should update this I suppose. Was an Army Cadet throughout my youth, went to college and worked as a civi in Office Admin since then, and am now a Pte(R) headed to BMQ next weekend to begin my journey as a Medical Technician.
