  i use an Ironman watch too.  They haven't been that rugged though, the face plate is always coming off.  Other than that I haven't had a problem.  You can also turn off the Alarm.  I agree, God help you if you don't.  With the analog watch you can't see them in the dark.   V

  Just curious about the preferred watches.  Personally, I have an Ironman watch.  Just seems to make sense, alarm, backlight, and water proof.  I have had a variety of watches this one makes sense, just practical.  I can't see analog watches at night, and there's no alarm to make sure your a...

  I heard that UBC was accepting some leadership courses, but you are right. V

There are a lot of degree holders in the reserves anyway, myself included.  Working on masters, than PH.D and a buddy is working on Phd.D.  It's not that big of a deal.  I chose to be NCM because I push enough paper in my civilian job.  To tell you the truth I don't really see the difference...

  Recently, I have heard that leadership courses can be used as credits to a degree.  I believe its community leadership or something to that effect.  I have found that that work ethic and a the attitude towards working towards goals has been the greatest contribution.  Also, at least in the...

  I think were being trained to be half breeds...temporarily anyway.  Also, the basic comms course goes beyond 521 and 522, but I assume you know this.  I don't think I have to list the curriculum for Mod 1.  Fact, there is now a Sig's platoon in the Infantry Reserve.  You are right it doesn't...

  I'm trying to think positive about this... Yes, I think I have heard all the coffee jokes in the last 24 hours that I can handle.  Apparently, this is the first time there has been a Sigs Platoon. At least in the reserves, but I'm here to testify there is.      Thanks...       V   cream or...

  I have just been seconded to a Sig's platoon in my reserve Infantry Regiment.  I don't know why? Anyway, for the next seven months I will be trained to be a Sig's operator.  Thought I'd say hey!  Seeing if there is any information I can gleam from this forum. V

  I just want to rephrase this question. Has anyone ever heard of a Headquarters Coys in a reserve unit?

I just want to throw this out there but, What is Headquarters Company?  V

  Thanks,  I will find out the course schedule for the fall and winter next Saturday.  I have been looking through those sites.  Just wondering if anyone has some first hand information.  I guess, i'm a little bit anxious. Thank you for your help, V

I don't know what happended to my post but it would be helpful if someone could reply.  Last year there was suppose to be BIQ on weekends through the Westminster Regiment.  Unfortunately, the training did not take place.  Has anyone heard of another attempt to do BIQ on weekends? Failing that, ...

Two Questions: 1) Has anyone heard of BIQ offered for the reserves on the weekends? 2) Has anyone from the reserves gone to do regular BIQ? Thank you.

  I have had sore wrists too.  I switched to doing them on knuckles when my writs are sore.  I have found that a good warm up of exercise helps, and a bit of stretching. I have also been doing push-ups on a bosa ball, different positions.  I believe the problem for myself is that I've been doing...
