Interesting tidbit of info. Did you know that 73.6% of statistics are made up on the spot? Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what we should do. "Hey, kid, you bored? There you go, play with this. No, don't point that there." ::) Seriously though, what SHELLDRAKE said.

He never fell through lol...But yes, that was quite the long night. Even I was scared I'd end up charged, and I'm a girl! Watching half the franco platoon pass out was quite the entertainment however... Copying my kettle idea huh, Des? lol...I still love my kettle...

No. BIQ is the infantry trades' course. You have to be infantry to take it. Engineers have their own trades' course.

:rofl: That's awesome. I didn't know that. But hey, I guess the countless hours of sitting alone in a truck staring at the back of a door can lead to some serious...self-reflection? (shall we call it) ;D And I've never even heard of these snack packs...heck, I bring my own.

:rofl: Best analogy ever.

Well said armyvern, you eloquently put exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately the SME-wannabee is an all-too common breed in many university political science classes. Ah well, all the more entertainment for myself.  :D 

I think you answered your own question, yes I do asshat, and one that's better then yours, clearly. :nana: (Sorry I just had to respond to that.) Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion...

He goes to U of T, what do you expect? I wonder if I've argued with him before, or at least laughed at him when he makes these genius statements in class.

RIP  :salute: My prayers and condolences to the families, and a speedy recovery to the injured.

Exactly. On Sept 10, 2001, do you think Americans were thinking that a terrorist attack was imminent? It's not like Al-Queda will call the PM and say, "ok, we're going to attack this target on this day, at this time...be ready!" ::)

Become a Canadian citizen, and join the reserves. Then you can go to university and be in the military too. There's plenty of info about the reserves in the Recruiting forum. Good luck.

If you buy a travel pack of Q-tips they come in a little plastic box, holds I think about 30 of them.

No. High level security clearances like the one Comm Research types need take a loooong time. As ex-fusilier said, by the time you reach your QL3 course you probably won't have it yet.

Yeah and that's another thing, don't you guys get a whole bunch of handouts when you go to the recruiting office, ones which not only give you info about trades you're applying for, but also ones that tell you about how to prepare for the various application tests and stuff? Reading...it's a...

Do a search. It's been answered zillions of times. On my test, not that long ago, we just did the step test. You were supposed to measure your readiness for the step test by doing the 2.4 k run on your own. I also didn't know this website existed when I was applying to join, and just took...

True enough. What a great time to live in downtown Toronto!

Well said, ESPECIALLY for things like weapons drills. I can see it now: "Do I pull the pin and through the grenade, or pull the grenade and throw the pin?"  ;) Don't be afraid that someone will yell at you, instructors shouldn't mind you asking for extra practice at something you're unsure about.

Be careful what you wish for, my friend...

Myself as well, and I go to U of T.  :-[ It is, however, quite amusing to sit through political science tutorials and listen to people speechify about things they know little about. Case in point: the other day we were discussing how the world has changed after 9/11, and someone eloquently...

From my limited experience, the opposite is true: when some guys see a female doing well at something it motivates them to do it better. After all, no one likes being beaten by a girl.  :D
