Headlamp is super useful.  Wether you're trying to rummage through your kit in the field in the dark, do some late night sewing or folding for inspection after lights out, or even during the day time it comes in handy to shine extra light on your parade boots while polishing to show the...

*RIP* to the fallen, speedy recovery to those injured. 

Anyone know what IR, and IR/SE stands for?  I see it used in reference to relocations & postings.  I'm assuming it's housing related but I can't seem to decipher the acronym.  Thanks. 

Two that come to mind : 1) in Farnham 2 (final weeks) a guy who wasn't coping to well went to bed in his hooch after a long day/night, and a half hour later the instructors threw up an arty sim and called 'stand to!'.  He couldn't manage to get his clothes on in a timely manner... In fact he...

I almost wore the blank OD name tape that came with the gas mask carrier on my combat shirt while I waited for name tapes to arrive.  ;) On a side note : Thanks to CP Gear for shipping out my order so quick.  Happy customer here. 

Update to thread : Now that I have been here @ CFLRS for over a month (week 6 now) I can report that, in my platoon at least, as long as the picture frame is the one from the Canex, clean, neatly in the corner on the desk and most importantly contains a picture of some kind (including funny...

Should be asleep myself... Gonna pay for it tomorrow but staying up right now with my closest friends shooting the sh*t is worth the pending pain.  This is exciting.  See you all shortly. 

For what it is worth, I read your original suggestion of 'just relax' as a helpful comment, not as a 'bashing on the new kids' type of post.  Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride everyone.  Go for a walk or run if you need to relax a little, it's been helping me keep things in perspective. ...

Exactly what I needed to read on the day I completed my swearing in ceremony.  I'm looking at it this way... Even if it my experience in the CF does prove to be less than enjoyable due to the reasons outlined in the article, someone has to do it, so I will do my best to do so with pride...

Not to stir the pot, but yes, you should check with them ASAP to make sure.  This would not be the first or last mistake involving bureaucracy in the history of government organizations.  Mistakes happen, government is not immune... even with the help of fancy letterheads.  My application...

To add on to what others have said here's just a couple of the biggest tips I learned for smooth flying (this goes in addition to what's already been said above) : -Departure time, is NOT boarding time.  Boarding time is in most cases 30 minutes before the departure time.  The staff at the...

I'm splitting my stuff into two sections (well four actually)... -Stuff I don't need for 2 years : Bed, Dishes, Big TV, Couch etc... -Stuff I might need : Hockey gear, Guitars, Clothes, Fitness Equipment, Personal Stuff & -Stuff to give away -Stuff to take to BMQ My friend has a big place out...

They didn't even tell me this was an option... I would have gone for it.  Too late now but I would have preferred to do it this way. 

Thank you.  I will call the CFRC (Toronto) tomorrow and see if they can direct me to an/the ASU that could potentially help me out. 

ASU ? (Sorry I am trying to decipher that acronym but coming up blank) : )

These videos show 'common errors' that helped me relax a little more.  https://www.cfmws.com/en/AboutUs/PSP/DFIT/Fitness/FORCEprogram/Pages/FORCE_videos.aspx

Agreed.  I've learned that from years of wild hours at my current job doing shift work.  In my opinion, just get your rest now while you can.  BMQ will already be a shock to our systems, so sleep might as well just add sleep to the list of shocking changes.  Plus, again, as said above - better...

Myself, I am getting ready for this big change by : -Sorting and packing / Tying loose administrative ends up. -Ramping up (somewhat, not so much that I injure myself) my PT -Working so I can save up some extra money, plus I really am going to miss my old job and the great co-workers so it's...
