Everyone gets CADPAT now, I just got mine the other day before I go away for bmq.

I simply don't understand why the army doesn't like contacts during basic. I didn't have to start wearing glasses or contacts until I was 18 ( 4 years ago )and it was a huge shock to me to learn that I needed them. Although I am totally used to wearing my contacts today, I never wear my...

I will be going to Shilo at the begining of July. I don't have an exact date yet. Can't wait  :)

Even though I wish I had CADPAT, I totally agree. It saves a lot of extra wear and tear on the newer uniforms, especially if newbies are in for less than a year before they quit, cause that would be a waste.

Those of you going, how long have you been in and such. I've been in since September, they didnt process my medical paperwork in time so I got screwed out of going last summer. I can't wait to go now, especially since I have learned so much over the year.

:gunner:

Is anyone else here going to Dundurn this summer for basic?  Would be nice to know if some others were going.

Theres no such thing as QL's anymore. . .

I finally found out that I am going to Dunduran, Sask. ( I'm not sure how to spell it ). It goes july 2 to aug 24 I believe.

Thanks for the info. Its just a little frustrating :(

I have been in the Res since Sept. I got screwed out of going last summer for BMQ b/c they took too long doing my paperwork, which of course they informed me at the last minute. Before that I was told I would be going away, so I was pissed. Now it is April and most people know when they are...

I still dont know when Im going on BMQ/SQ. I‘ve been in since Sept. This is starting to piss me off.

Allen, I am not the one that stirred things up, at least it was not my intention. When I saw that people were calling the Spanish cowards, I took offense to that and wrote what I felt was right. Just because I have not been in the army for 15 years does not disqualify from making my opinion...

Good points nbk.

Infanteer obviously has a lot of time on his hands to write so much. Unfortunately, I don‘t have the luxury of time right now, since I have a ton of work to do for school and I have reserves tonight. Infanteer I am no longer a cadet. I am a reservist in the Infantry. I am proud of my service...

Bottom line is I think the war with Iraq was wrong. Yes, Saddam was bad; so are many other world leaders, who have been involved in worse things and you dont even hear a peep from Bush about them. I don‘t know the real reasons Bush invaded Iraq and I don‘t think we will know for a long time...

I am sorry I offended you Bossi, next time I will use poopy pants instead of fools, ok? If you have a problem with some of my sentences (although I am sure you get the point), you will have to ‘suck it up‘. I try to get my points across as quickly as I can and I am not spending hours editing my...

"The guy has been an active supporter or terrorist suicide bombers in both Israel and the United States." You are partly wrong. He did support the suicide bombers in Israel, just like all the other arab nations in the middle east. There has been no connection made between Saddam and the 9-11...

Well Infanteer, I know this from reading a lot and watching the news often. I am also a history major in university and I am very interested in international history and politics. From all of my inputs of information I formulate my own opinions. To myself, I believe I am right when I say that...

Terrorism is not going to be defeated by helping secure Iraq. If anything, their presence is only festering more support for them then ever before. The Iraq conflict never had anything to do with terrorism, it was about Saddam and it was about oil. You people, that seem to think that the...
