Alright, that's it. *THREAD HIJACK* I'd like to sort out how many units in the Comm Res already have their tac vests. So please post what unit you're from, and whether or not you've got it yet. I know we'll all get it eventually, I'd just like to know if I'm going to be the only one on my...

Beards are not permitted, except for religious reasons. The thinking behind this is that if you're in an NBCD environment, the beard would prevent your gas mask from achieving the proper seal, thus you'd be in trouble. Even those who have beards for religious reasons have to shave them in such...

Also, look around in the different forums on this site, especially the recruiting forum and ESPECIALLY the recruiting FAQ. Most of the answers to your questions should be there. Good luck.

Yeah, I've heard the "soon" thing before too...as far back as January. Trying not to get the hopes up too high, but since I leave for course in just over a week it looks like it's webbing for me.

Yeah, the people from your year were pretty bitter when we told them how we got driven to school and back. I was alot more bitter though, when I found out they weren't doing the 13 k anymore, apparently some courses hadn't done any ruckmarches at all.  :rage: Oh, as for rumours go, I've heard...

He's a reservist, so the chance he'll be seeing any more of the really high-speed kit anytime soon is unlikely. The Comm Res seems to get everything far behind any of the army reservve brigades, as an example, we're still waiting on our tacvests. As for the new ruck? Hahahaha....maybe when I'm...

Of course you can work more, if your unit is planning or involved in more then one ex a month you are highly encouraged to participate. It's all part of training and becoming better at what you do. I usually work at least two weekends a month if not more, considering the various exercises my...

Technically you should have been paid. However since you're new they might not have you in the system yet or something along those lines. Also, I'm assuming you did give them a voided cheque so they could deposit the moolah into your account. When you get paid on the 15th of May, if should be...

The faster you join, the faster you can start parading with your unit, even before basic. Now, hopefully you're fairly far along with the process by now, otherwise it'll be a fairly tight squeeze to make it for this summer's basic. You'd be going on both your BMQ and SQ, which are, as far as I...

The QL's are different for every trade as far as I know. QL3 is everyone's trade course. The QL4 courses you described aren't the same for all, I know for example Sig Op QL4s are considered OJT at the unit. For example, we get a driver course before going on our 3s to drive the LSVW, and a...

We were confined to base the entire 8 weeks of my basic...yeah, good times that was. Oh yeah, and the base was Shilo.  ;D

All this talk about people being offended is offending me. See you all in court, *******!   ;D

I don't! It's all about the BA.  ;D

So did I.  ;D

Totally different topic, but does anyone know the return policy of The Running Room? I bought a new pair of running shoes there a week ago and taken them out for a few runs, and they've been giving me the nastiest blisters. Anyone know if I can still return/exchange them even though they've...

Sorry I ate all the cookies. Mmm....cookies..... ;D

LOL! Nice cartoon. I have 2 more left.  :-X

If all goes well, you might...2 years ago, I did all my tests in the beginning of may. Plus I had to re-do my fitness test (don't ask) a month later and got sworn in 10 days after that, and left for basic the week after. So it is possible!  :) So long as nothing goes wrong with your medical or...

When I did my basic 2 years ago, I arrived in Shilo 2 days before the course started, and left the day after grad parade. We spent the 2 days before settling into our rooms, learning how to make beds etc., but didn't start attending classes till the actual course start date. Correction: we...

One guy on these boards, meni0n I think it was, transferred recently from res to regs, track him down and PM him if you want more info.
