Only issue with that is there is NO internet available on base for personal computers. All the nearby networks are locked too. The Bistro..er O'Mega club has computers available in 20 minute increments and most of them have webcams. The local hotels also offer internet access for a small fee if...

CG - yes I've worked with several people who failed the handgrip portion, and it is one of the hardest things for people to improve if they fail by more then 10ish pounds. I've known a couple of people who failed the situps as well, usually because of weight/girth or one guy because he had...

The new rule repaces the continue training rule for BMQ (used to be you could fail one strength(pushups/situps or handgrip) in week zero,now  if you fail pushups you must have at least 5(female) or 10 (male) to continue training. You must pass the full standard by the end of the course or you go...

Never hurts to loose before you get in - especially for the reserves because there is no RFT program for the reserves. Have you tried running the 20m Shuttle run?? It's available for free download and prettyeasy toset up. Or if you're near a base I understand the PSP staff can be helpful in...

You'd be surprised, alot of people have issues with the pushups, either lack of upperbody strength or just bad form. Bad form (too wide hands or not low enough) are big issues. Alot of the RFT program is under 35 from what I've seen, and most are their for their pushups and/or run(or in the...

Just wanted to share a new rule that some may not yet be aware of. The CO of CFLRS has recently signed a new mandate requiring candidates to pass a minimum number of pushups in week zero of BMQ to continue regular training. It's a great idea, but for some it means they will be joining RFT(the...

Generally they have one whenever they have enough people. Generally we've been getting 2-4 platoons in per week except in a few rare cases, like September when we didn't get any recruits in (they all went to Borden) Your recruiting centre will have possible dates for courses that should run...

watching leather heads and having a beer.... best beer/football combination ever!

Got the OK - R0186E I'll be your tour guide for the coming weekend of Sept 27-28th. Look forward to meeting everyone! :Edit: That's at CFLRS - just wanted to clarify

Yuppers, everything that is medical/herbal/whatever needs to come from the MIR. If you have personal vitamins or anything that you take, they might let you keep them and have them approved by the MIR, but generally it's all taken and re-issued through the MIR, that way they know what you're on...

Finally admitting to myself that I'm not getting any sleep tonight. Feels like I just got run over by a Mac truck though...

CG - 2-3 probably VR'd and the remainder are injured sitting on PAT. Or they might have gotten lucky and been sent to postingbefore their grad parade.

I've yet to say much argumentitivly. I'm stating what I see on a daily basis as to what happens specifically at CFLRS on the training platoons. Which was the original questions. I'm not arguing and to prove that point I'm out of the conversation, feel free to debate all you guys want.

8 whole months on Oct 2nd

That's why I was only refering to St-Jean. I'vebeen here for a while and have seen far too many platoons go through here. I fully conceed that things may work differently outside of the garrison, I'm just going on my experiance here.

I will disagree slightly, some staff just do not issue the privlidges. It's not how well the platoon performs, they just don't issue them. Behavior of the platoon is usually grounds for the more common provledges such as weekends off though.

haha, no PAT for you, PRETC inBorden more likely and that's not until after your BMQ anyhow! I should be joining you guys on the 29th of September @ CFRLS. I'm recently recovered from an injury(and therefore waiting on the dreaded PAT platoon) and just waiting for here to be an open course here...

Course here at CFLRS is different for each platoon. I've been here for the past 8 months almost and have seen alot. My original platoon was allowed all electronics after 6pm for the entire course. Some platoons only see their electronics once they have weekends off, some have them in the...

lol, they sent me on leave(recommended it, I didn't ask for it)  and didn't remember to call and notify me that it was an option. only remembered after I came back. Happened to another candidate too, same situation. It's just really frustrating.

I see this daily at CFLRS except the other way around...soldiers or want-to-be soldiers or going -to-be soldiers cheating on their spouses and boyfriends and girlfriends. It really sickens me. It's not the spouses fault they're seeing a cheating,lying, imbicile.... I feel for you, but it's not...
