Thank you for the feedback Skeletor. I'm training for Infantry ruck marches.  I'm afraid of hurting my shoulders and back if I put weights in a backpack so I'm looking for a good vest that would evenly distribute the weight.

Hey Fellas, So I've come to the conclusion that the best way to diversify my training would be to start doing long-distance walks with a weighted vest. Have any of you used weighted vests in the past? If so, what kind of vest would you recommend, and what are your experiences like using these...

I've thought about it, though I've never fenced in my life.  I definitely want in on the running team though.

To OP: I'll clarify this; it's too late for first selection as that starts March 18th.  HOWEVER, there's always second selection, and then last minute calls, so your application will be in the process.  If you can't make it for second selection or you're just not picked, make sure they keep hold...

Thank you jwtg for the response. That was exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. @Firstyear: Yes, absolutely and that's what I intend to do.  My original question was impregnated with sarcasm, mainly because it's Friday and after a long week here in the office my brain tends to melt a...

I got 3 questions of the utmost importance to any CURRENT RMC O.Cdts; 1) How much is removed from your pay monthly for quarters and rations? 2) Are the rations good?  Is there always healthy foods to choose from?  Is there limitless amounts of ice cream? 3) Are you having a lot of fun at RMC...

My post was only intended to motivate him to prepare properly for the CFAT. I'm not trying to paint with a broad brush at all, sorry if it came accross that way. I'm well aware that using a sample of ten people is by no means statistically significant.

Quoted for truth.  My group had 6/10 fail the test.  It's tough so prepare yourself adequately! Also, go read some good shakespear and pickup the meaning of a bunch of words you've never heard or seen ever in your entire life before. Could be handy.

Awesome seawolf!! Looking forward to serving with you  :salute: All the best in your career  ;) :cdn:

Go see your recruiter and ask him if there would be any applicable signing bonus since you're applying for a ''in demand'' ncm trade. While you're at it, he can answer all other questions you  might still have. Edit: From what I understand, you are eligible for a singing bonus if you have...

AEC.  I would need to get more medical stuff done for ACSO (it's great that no one bothered telling me...), though it's impossible to get it done before March 15th, so we'll give a swing at AEC for first selection. If I'm not selected, we'll give a swing for AEC and ACSO for 2nd selection as my...

And so begins the waiting game. So far, everything has happened pretty fast. I'm glad to see the CF have taken my application seriously.

Hi Charles, The website was updated recently (a few months ago at most IIRC), so in demand means you're applying at the right time as it is a red trade and they will be hiring as much as possible for FY 2013 to bring the staffing up to standard. Good luck! Edit: Don't forget to ask your...

Been there, done that. Waste of money imho. Buy good, healthy nutritious actual food instead and aim for 5 light meals a day. Make your biggest meal right after your workout.

Dear god, this is horrible. As an airsoft store owner, I am proud to say that I have never and will never sell any counterfeit, fake medical-ish looking instrument... ever.  This is actually quite outrageous -- Copying legitimate company logos and serial numbers?  Holy cow!  This is definitely...

Hi Franck, I passed AEC selection. It's in Trenton, ON, at the canadian forces Aircrew Selection Center.  It's actually only a few hours long on a special computer. All pilot applicants do it, too.  Brush up high school math and go well rested and focused.

My bad. Thanks guys for your input, definitely food for thought  :) I'm pretty excited to get the call in April!

Yeah, joint operations definitely sounds like a blast! How did you get that posting? Are you a air weapons controller?

Thanks Dy3r, great input! Weapons Controller would be more my kind of ballpark. You're in the desert, that sounds really awesome! Are you operating from a tactical radar sqn? Those look pretty neat :P MPs inbound

Hot dog MortrX! Congrats!! Two weeks from the phone call to BMQ, man you must be hopping around like a bunny with it's tail on fire  :blotto:
