I've been searching around for a good tent. Its to be used for extended hiking or camping for 2-3 people and manportable. Something that I could attach to a backpack like the small pack or ruck. Preferrably I would like it to have a bottom and be somewhat heavy duty so it would last. I found a...

I got mine in 1995 when I was 12. The window has a slight crack but other than that it looks brand new and I never go out without it!

I was just looking for some info on the huge Brigade ex thats comming up in Winnipeg, Charging Bison that I will be participating in. The first link I found was this,  http://stopthebison.friendsofgrassynarrows.com/ Take a look at it and let these idiots know what you think of them and their...

I second that, 100%.

Do yourself a big favour and don't expect to get weekends off. Its completely up to your staff as to how much time you get off. On my BMQ/SQ at Minto in 2004, we got about 6 or 7 days off in total. Most of our staff was horrible though, especially my section SGT. We generally did really well...

Are there locks on the doors? My buddy was in  Borden and had the local phone company setup dsl for him. I was thinking of doing the same, but Im only there 1 month so I doubt I'll bother. I am planning on driving there as well. I would think that theres parking spaces.

When I would get a cramp I would just gouge into it with my hands and keep at it. After a few minutes it would always go away.

I am going to be doing my EMECOM course this July in Winnipeg. I have been told I will be staying at the 17 Wing facilities. I was just wondering if someone who's stayed there can tell me a little bit about it. I think its 2 people per room. Would I be able to bring my computer with me? We get...

Damn that gave me a good laugh.

How about being a little more realistic? Only a "retard" would think that their policies are implementable without causing harm to Canada and its economy. I thought specific personal attacks like the one you just made towards me are against the new rules you were suppose to read. . . I'm sure an...

Who in the hell would vote for the Greens?! I just read their website and its quite a joke. Jim Harris is such a whining bitch. He's going to sue the news stations cause he won't get to participate in the debates. If people know exactly what the Greens intend to do and still vote for them then...

Thanks for the quick reply. I would not say that he's imcompetent in any way, but he was quite hostile and pissed off when I first came in. Maybe he had a bad day or something. He's actually a warrant officer in his mid 30's prolly, so maybe that explains something.

I handed my memo in to change trades on a tuesday night and was subsequently called in on the following thursday to come see the platoon commander. Upon my arrival, our new plt cmdr began blasting at me for first; 'who the fuck are you making demands here, thinking your owed something'; 'Your...

good read

I second that, big time.

I just want to follow up on this subject. I did the BMQ/SQ with my contacts in the whole time. I want to say for the record for anyone who is wondering. CS gas does not do anything extra bad to your eyes if your wearing contacts. I was wearing mine when I went in the hut and I had my eyes open...

I only have my BMQ/SQ and I have all my gortex, DEU's etc. Everyone in my unit that has just finished SQ has it all. . .

Well, when I talked to the recruiter, he told me he had some Canadians joining every now and then. I told him about the greencard card thing and he said you don't need a green card so. . . .

You don't need a green card to join the marines. You need a INS-551 form. I believe that it is basically a work permit that lasts for 8 years. After the 8 years is up you have to get US citizenship. I have already called about 10 different US Army recruiters throughout the US midwest and asked...

I just got back from the BMQ/SQ in Winnipeg at the Minto armoury. It was about 7 weeks long and we did c7, c9, c6, grenades, and we fired the Carl G. We spent 10 days at Shilo for our FTX. It was cold out there but it was alright.
