    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    I'm going to be on a business trip next couple days which will include some downtime - during which I will compile up some links from (and to) other threads I personally found super helpful along the lines of 'getting ready for basic - fitness'.  Maybe that'll make it sticky worthy... let's...

    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    Amen.  From what I can gather it isn't exactly a giant hurdle.  My primary inclination for doing the test, or portions of it, prior to bmq (if accepted lol) is to soften the anxious feelings one may get when they hear the dreaded 'test' word... Helps [I find at least] to be able to say to...

    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    Yes, the 'FORCE' test was in no means something I suggested as a critical benchmark for training, mostly for the reasons that have been indicated, more just as a 'fun' short drill to execute which can then be augmented with more rigorous fitness drills.  In addition I'm sure we all agree the...

    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    Could do the 'force' test together... -20m beep test (avail on YouTube, I've used it before) -20m shuttle run thingy -20m sandbag drag -etc etc Local highschools often have tracks.  We could meet up at one (I know my local school has a 400m track and a decent football field).  Anyway let's...

    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    Thanks.  Link won't work here. What's the name of the group? I'll enter it in a Facebook search.  Ps : Lol - deleting my post about 'the o course' just watched the promo video and it looks way less entertaining then I remember thinking.  Crawling around with a sledgehammer?  I get it... But I...

    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    Someone mind messaging me a link to the group or posting it here? As for the earlier question about the retail store 'The Running Room' - I'm assuming who ever is interested has already found out all they need about the store via a quick google search but for a bit of redundancy...

    Getting Ready for Basic Training

    Wacky schedule myself but worth keeping me in the loop.  Maybe create a private Facebook group and we can post up times and dates on there as they come?

    Islam and Western Society

    Indeed.  Would be nice if more people were vocal on what's really not cool but considering I live in the mecca of moral relativism (Toronto, or so it feels some days anyway) I won't hold my breath that anyone will speak up against shit disturber until things get pretty ugly (areas of the U.K...

    Islam and Western Society

    I've heard of underground courts operating in Hamilton and in a few locations in Scarborough & Mississauga.  Has been a while since I kept up to date on the subject though.  I stopped looking into it after I found out about the blatant hate literature being passed out at a local mosque (Kennedy...

    Things I learned applying to the Canadian Armed Forces [long]

    Good post.  Helps sober me up, even though I have even pretty good about not putting all my eggs in the army basket.  I hope I get in because right now I really want it.  Either way I'll be happy whatever happens, but the next few months should be interesting.

    Another Shooting at Fort Hood

    Haven't found any more concrete updates at this point.  My sympathies to the injured and fallen.  I guess I was naive in hoping events like these would go by the wayside.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I'm operating a sound system and PowerPoint right now for a banking conference and am trying not to let a laugh slip out while reading these :) 'Tall, fit, tactical, 24 year old male.  No military experience.' Pure Ninjas :D These are fantastic lol

    Electronic-Optronic Technician ( EO Tech )

    Could you please educate this civi on the meaning behind the abbreviations : CET CETT I'm guessing 'Common Element Training'? I'm way clueless here sorry lol.  I guess something do with electronics would be more likely considering they are replacing POET... I checked the CF abbreviations...
