E-mail sent, boycott commenced.. Although I do like Bruce's idea about raising a stink in person, I might just do that.  Kevin, Good post.

"soldiers aren't paying their taxes... let them die"?????? Where does this guy get his train of thought? He doesn't even look old enough to pay taxes himself.  Too much crack in that baby.  Sheesh.

To attach the 82 pattern kidney pad, I just made some loops with para-cord to go around the frame at the points where the straps on the pad would go around if they were longer.  Had it on there for going on two years now, hasn't failed me yet.

I don't know about all you guys, but I'll go through what I did and what I helped my good friend to do.  First off, not a professional trainer in any way, so don't jump all over me on this. First off, WRT your own personal lifting programme, seek competant advise (be it a trainer, doctor...

Does anyone have any expirence with the Blackhawk "Raptor" pack?  A buddy of mine in the QOR got one and loves it to death, but he only just got it and hasn't really gone anywhere with it yet.

This form (declaring marital status) when you enroll, is this done when you get sworn in?  I don't remember seeing such a form.  I've been living with my Girlfriend for about 2 years now, in my parents basement, down the street from her parents.  There is no paperwork showing her living here. ...

That letter is neat eh buddy?  You get sooo freaked out and have to read it twice and have someone else read it to you to make sure you aren't kidding yourself.  Congrats man.  Good luck!

Very good post Ghostwalk, this should be stickied in Recruiting.  Thanks, and stay safe over there.

I really should know better, I wonder how long that is going to be stuck in my head.  :-X

I hear that, I got merit listed on Friday after 16 months.  I haven't felt better in my life.  The whole world seems to have slowed down a bit.  It's great.  I am excited though, sleep with the phone beside my head, but I'm prepared for it to take a while.  SeanPaul_031, just relax bud, the call...

WOOO!!!! Got merit listed today!! LOOONG HAUL, but it's over now, had update P.T. on tuesday, and the Interview today went great.. RCR here I come baby!!

That's what I thought too, (and was told).  But I got a letter a couple of months ago saying that  "after reviewing the information supplied by you and Dr ***** (my family doctor), .... you do meet the common enrollment standard of the Canadian Forces..... I was shaking in my boots when the...

Not to be silly either, but this marker was bought before the whole name change thing, it's Armotech, thats what is written on the side of it, thats what was on the box, and that is who got my money when I got it.  I am well aware of the name change.  The difference is, on the "new" ariakon...

I got the second P.T. Test out of the way on Tuesday, did quite well actually.  Then they told me my update interview would be on the fifth of May,  I was a little bit disappointed by that because it's pretty far off, but figured, what the hell, it's nothing compared to what I've gone through so...

You will be fine.  As someone already said, if you aren't a total bag, you should have no problem passing.  I did my retest this morning and everyone that was there passed with no problems.  Obviously it is failable (if that is a word), but for someone who does work out regularly it really...

Coffee just sprayed out of nose ALL over screen when I pictured that.  Holy crap that's funny.

What he said, do it for us poor saps gettin left behind.  I'm sure you will have a good time.  Best of luck.

Aesop and Piper, I thank you for the heads up, but I have sooo much stuff, that list just scrapes the surface.  WRT the Helmet, I got it because I'm into rapelling, rock climbing, and initially, because I was a noob who thought it would be cool to use it to train for the para course (it did help...

Sorry bud, sleeping bag is just the inner,  and no the white outs are not waterproof.

I am selling off all my army crap because I'm joining the Reg Force.  I bought waaay too much crap in my time in cadets. For starters:  Cot- $60 Crookneck Flashlight (w/lenses)- $10 Combat Boots sz10- $20 Combat Boots sz11- $20 WWII helmet (with ace of spades marks)- $20 woodland tilley hat-...
