Can't wait to see you in St. Jean! I don't' think I'll be platoon-ready by the 17th of January but - I am pushing for February or early March. The sooner, the better! Can't wait to be allowed to do drill again and "fit in"... I'm not giving up, not in my vocabulary! It'll be great to have...

My friend finished her BMOQ not too long ago and one of the sister platoons (or, from another platoon altogether... they have NO idea who it was) would sneak into their room at night and take a bit dump in the bathroom, and leave it there. guessing it was a prankster? He/she would sneak in...

Does anyone know if these can be found in the Saint-Jean, montreal area somewhere? I might try to see if I can grab them my next outting, though I suspect I won't be allowed to try them out for a while :(  (not doing much running these days! argh!)

Ah, Dangerboy, you're right. Sorry, I was in a rush when I wrote that so I could get to the mess for lunch :) There is a fourth option, which is not Bold Eagle, Raven or Blackbear. Those are the reserve options for BMQ. The fourth is a pre-recruit training course (which is the one I attended)...

The fall one is being held out east this October I believe. Right now it is a program targetted at First Nation peoples. You are right, this is a program that would be beneficial to ALL potential recruits (would cut the amount of VRs when people get to basic) but essentially it was implemented...

Ambush, I participated in the three-week program they have which is the pre-recruit training course. There is one held this fall out on the east coast but I believe it is already full. Essentially it's a 'sampler' of military life and you get a good grasp of what to expect when you actually get...

That's so very true, isn't it???  I'm sure the scoops are the recommended portion sizes but - that being said, they're always allowed going back for seconds! :) The girl I gave a ride home to the other day, was WAY too excited about the food. She went on and on and on about what she ate the...

I've been eating at the mess now for 2 weeks... only one meal was too salty (but I don't normally eat salt so, maybe it wasn't too bad for others).... and the rest were pretty good. If you like to eat just 'plain' food, so far I haven't had much of a problem. There's usually "something" to eat...

Hi Tess, The information I have is from my friend who had a brother (he was 50) that stayed there for several months after a breakdown and suicide attempt.  It has a reputation there for being extremely discreet, respectful and that those who fear the stigma of an institution (ie, CEOs of...

I've heard nothing but good things about Homewood, from the Civilian side of things. There's a huge waiting list to get into it as requested by patients and many are "elite" people from across Canada.... people who run big corporations, institutions and some actors/actresses. I'm not saying you...

Poor medicineman, I can't come up with something clever and... it looks like you'll never figure out what you want to be when you grow up. :(

Congratulations! I can't imagine how excited you must be!

Granted! But then he won't stop talking to you about borrowing the car and the party he wants to go to and "Dad, can I have five bucks?" and of course, the never ending "You never treat me like an adult, I'm not a kid!" speech all teenagers throw at their parents and he obviously knows more than...

Can you define which "system"?

You will definitely want to let them know that you will require the moving aspect because they may not realise you actually have stuff that will one day require moving. I'd hate for you to get stuck with the cost of moving things, especially if across country!

While it is a horrible event to happen, I'd like to hope that some of those 400 people they helped in that month will appreciate the gift that was restored to them (vision) and that those 400 people can bring positive change to their regions and a better future for their communities that doesn't...

I'm thinking this will likely be for additional expenses occurred from the moving experience (ie, if you need to spend a night at a hotel, after your stuff is packed and removed from the premises).  Did you request your belongings be stored?  For myself personally, I know there is someone at the...

I guess she wasn't happy being stuck in her house for a few days?

That's definitely the wisest thing to do!

Today's manly item was going to the kickboxing place and asking for one-on-one instruction for a couple of sessions before I leave for basic, to increase my confidence. He asked, "So, you just want to throw a few punches around then, a few moves and kicks at a bag or something?" "Or people."...
