Unfortunately things happen, people get loaded onto course, trades open and close. To be honest I think the best thing you could possibly do at the moment is breathe, remember that it's not all about you, there are many other people who want to be stewards and that are qualified for it as well...

Just enjoy the experiance guys....it's all worth it and it's (hopefully) a once in a lifetime experiance, take it for what it's worth, remember to breathe, sleep when you can and ask for help when you need it!

That is how it worked a year ago anyhow. Usually you'll be able to ask for some extra help if you need to rewrite, and it's a good idea to do so even before hand if you're having issues with a class. The instructors don't want you to fail but if you don't ask they won't know that you're...

Fun, so so so much fun, and i you keep saying that in your head eventually you will beleive it :D

It depends on where you are, what you're doing, and your chain of command. That is a question I would bring up with your CoC but unless you know when something is going to happen it's kind of hard to get permission to do something without a date/time/place/etc.

My thoughts in general is that as long as you're not hitting on me, we're good and that goes for all genders. I know when I was in St Jean there was a bit of drama going on about the whole gay/straight/bi/purple with pink polkadots etc. It seems to me that the easiest way to avoid drama...

Noone is saying not to pay attention to detail, they're just reenforcing the idea that there's a time for questions and you'll be told when that is. Usually when staff say do it now, they mean do it now and if you really feel the need to know why...you can ask later when the pace has slowed down...

You learn the C7 general service rifle on BMQ at the moment. That's the only weapon you get to use while you're here. With your trade you'll be taught other weapons on a need to know basis...IE/ deployment etc.

I was gunna say something to that, but decided not to press my luck :p

We're all issued the same same sleeping bags for males and females. I'd never heard that they marketed stuff like that by gender...although I agree women are generally cold when they sleep( or at least I am) and men are like furnaces (which works out well for the women)

in the 70s or 80s according to one of the ladies here who was in then... The idea being no matter how you showed up your instructors andthe PERI staff would run you until you could pass the test

I'm not disagreeing, but as I understand it there was a time when the only PT test was at the end of the course and if you failed you were out....I kinda like that idea to be honest... When I got here you could fail outright (as in get 0) on any one strength portion and you were still good to...

To start on a platoon - everyone is of course expected to pass at LEAST the minimum by the end of course...or off to RFT they go :edit: I'm off to RFT tomorrow to get back into platoon shape after my lovely PAT experiance....as is now mandatory after any prolonged PAT visit.

New rule change...now it's 2 pushups for females to remain on a platoon and 4 or 5 for males to remain on a platoon *twitch* I love my job :D

It was my platoon for all of a week and a half - They're just a great group of people....and not on the furry bandwagon.

I understand that the duty warrent was VERY unimpressed to find a furry interloper in his office the next morning... For the record, it was NOT R0186E (They are an awesome platoon and I miss them muchly!!!)

How is that doing everyone a favor? If you're paying for the contract you bring it, just don't be a smartass and try and keep it hidden, hand it in to the electronic lockup and then you'll have it when you have time off...

Tim's is right beside the Holiday Inn, so their wireless signal hits there if you get the access code from a friend who's more concerned about off-base frat then internet access.

I know. It was worth it for me being stuck on PAT plt, but with the access on a normal platoon, or even RFT it's not something I'd endorse for people generally, I fully endorse bringing a laptop, but if you're looking at doing video conversations I would stick to the Bistro or find someone who's...

Yes, I have it through Telus, it costs me about $80 per month. Without regular access it's a bit pricey, plus the aircard itself requires a contract and the price of the peice can be anywhere from $50 - $300
