    Online news comment boards. It seems ignorance is bliss.

          Pfff.       /     ::) Personally, I never hit the view comment button on news articles. I hear enough eye rolling comments about the the CF and Afghanistan without introducing a new platform. That and I really don't care how anybody with internet access feels on a subject they clearly...

    How competitive...

    Flying cinder block. Just kidding - she's reliable and proven over time, but she's no DA-20 C1. Ya but that's no fun. I can't get into what I have done in a Katana, but I can tell you they are a lot more fun. Grob 115 or 120 even better! Cheers. The only way to find out is to apply. Good luck.

    Unit Transfers

    You should be able to do both BMQ and SQ in the summer provided there are courses scheduled and they can fit you in. You might find that your course dates and locations will change frequently so be prepared. Winter courses are offered on the weekend for BMQ and SQ at least in our area. The...

    This almost became the new CBC Hockey Night in Canada song

    HAHA. It would be nice if Aube's theme won; it would serve them right for dropping the ball with the old one.

    WTF? Another Monument Desecration?

    I agree. That was where I was trying to go with my previous post. I wish these acts did not receive attention from the media but I doubt that will happen.

    WTF? Another Monument Desecration?

    Maybe I am wrong but why increase his or her audience if it was infact a statement? I think by making this a National story and by including a picture of the defaced monument on the front cover of the Ottawa Sun, you are only rewarding this person's actions or intent. Just clean it up ASAP and...

    References Superthread [Merged]

    I don't think you have to chose one personal, one professional, and one educational. Those are examples of references. For example, I had two former employers and a colleague. (There, I populated my double post)

    Who Can Be a Reference? Any adult, who is not immediate family or a relative, can act as a reference. Your references must have known you for at least five (5) continuous years (or to age 16, whichever comes first). It is advisable to choose references who can provide information about you from...

    ;D You don't have a former coach, teacher, employer or someone similar that can act as a reference? Or did you burn those bridges?

    Just in general, please don't tell me you are running 2.4K, checking your watch and calling that PT for the day. 16 hour days? Get up and run for 20-40 minutes before your day. That is all it takes. I am so sick of hearing that. I am 32 and I have circled back to round up some pimply faced...

    My recruiting story.

    ::) Finish school. If you bust your knee up and can't walk 10+ Km with your home on your back or you find out the Infantry isn't for you; what do you have to fall back on? As for your file, crap happens, deal with it. I waited a year and a half to complete my CT process. Some have waited...

    So close, but so far

    oldpond, there's no rush right now - you won't be on BMQ until the fall at this point. Just go with the flow and continue working on your PT. Good luck!

    CFB Borden Airshow 2008 - questions

    I looked into the Air Reserve Unit here, but unfortunately there wasn't much available. If there was, I would not be in the Infantry today. To my suprise, I actually love it. I have agree with Loachman: why not get back into the Reserves? I realize you have "been there, done that", but I think...
