"Club Ed's surf camp and surf school in Santa Cruz, CA is the perfect learning vacation...Don't put off learning to surf, sign up for instruction from Club Ed. http://www.club-ed.com/ LOL! Nice find.

Also, since alot of the people you'll see will be wearing CADPAT, the rank is located on a slip-on round the middle of the chest, over about the 2nd button down from the top, just FYI. It's sometimes difficult to see at first because it's just a lighter shade of green. Don't worry too much if...

It also helps if you're a fast eater. On my basic (reserve, but basically same idea here) I always ended up throwing alot of my food away cause I didn't have enough time to finish it. If you can pile up the food and shove it down your throat in the alloted time, all the power to ya. BTW, I'm a...

When late for a class, you're tempted to come to attention at the door and ask for permission to enter, and are surprised when people just wander into class without doing so.

Basically, yes.  ;D

Oh, I'm not suggesting this would be effective, I'm suggesting this is what ends up happenning sometimes. I mean, officers need a degree to become officers, don't they, and these kind of types might end up being recruited whether we like it or not. Not saying all or even the majority of officers...

Contact the CFLC (Canadian Forces Liason Council) they're supposed to help you out with that sort of thing. Good luck :)

Blanks? CFSCE? Wow. The only weapon I ever saw at CFSCE was that damned rubber paperweight I lugged around on my 3s FTX, the one the instructors loved stealing and was always getting caught on cam nets. Blanks, whoa, that'd be almost like...real tactical!  ;D

Learning the CF rank structure would be a big help for when you go on basic, so at least then you can identify an officer when you see one.

Well that's not right, and shouldn't be the usual for reservists. I know whenever I don't get paid the correct amount, I'm right in the orderly room pestering the clerks until they get it sorted out. Or use your chain of command to sort it out for you. You should ALWAYS be getting paid, in...

I would reply to this post, but I'm supposed to go sing Kumbaya while sitting around a campfire, then I'm off to feed starving orphans and hug a few trees. Oh, and then bottle-feed a baby kitten back to health. Maybe this is the type of army our government would rather see.  ::)

Because people who have been in university sometimes tend to acquire this attitude that they know better then much of society, because they have this higher level of education. (I say this as a first-year university student, based on what I've seen in my slight experience at university.) Such...

I've actually done or been tempted to do that several times. *break for story* I was going for my G road test, and decided to do a few refresher courses with Young Drivers. (Don't parallel park LS's very often, hence I'd forgotten how to do it.) Anyway, the driver instructor proceeds to "jack...

I'm doing my QL5 course, from May 16-June 30th. I'll probably see you guys there.

IMHO, schools and colleges are a prime source of recruits for reservists. Most people in my unit attend or attended in the past college or university, and if it wasn't for units recruiting in schools they never would have thought of joining the CF. I know this was the case with me, my unit came...

A private is standing at an aquarium. An officer says to him: "What are you doing?" "Sir, I am experimenting on superiority of higher mind over lower. See, I look straight at the fish, then I point my eyes to the right- they swim to the right. I point to the left- they swim to the left." "Go...

You could have both: half the ad could be what Mr. Ted described, and the other half could showcase some tech trade. The point would be to show that there are trades in the CF that don't involve mud-crawling on a daily basis. And the grande finale would be: "Want the best of both worlds? Join...

There you are.

If anyone's got a good/funny signals war story post it here!

Yes, I believe soon after 9/11 the policy changed.
