  Yah I got the call today too! I'll be in St. Jean so I'll see whoever is gonna be there, there. :salute:

  I as well got the call today and offered a job for 031 Infantry! Basic starts on October 3 in St. Jean. Hope to see all there.  :salute: :cdn:

    HELL YEAH!!! I also got my call today while I was at work! My boss handed me the phone and said, "it's the army!" I knew right away why they were calling. So I ship out October 1 and BMQ starts October 3. Can't wait. But in the mean time I'll be training hardcore. Hey Fry, what are you going...

  I was also selected on the July 18 selection board for 031 Infantry. Still haven't got a phone call yet but I don't expect one until at least until the end of this month. What were you selected for Newell?

Not exactly.... the shoulder excercise is similar to this. To work the shoulder you would extend your arm straight out in front of you, or straight out to the side. And you would raise your arm up and down, not your hand. For the forearm excercise, the pivot point should be your wrist whereas...

  Yes pardon me. But even still, the colostomy bag is still strapped to your body which I'm sure is quite inconvenient when running. That may be a small price to pay though if it means the difference between messing in your PT shorts.  :o :cdn:

  Yes, I must agree with Dr. Size. Push ups are a measure of your upper body strength which I'm sure is a prerequisite for joining the CF. If you can't do 19 pushups, how do you expect you're going to get yourself over an 8 foot wall or climb a rope? If you're stopping after only 19 push ups for...

  Oh I don't have to believe you.... I've seen them. And your right they're not a pretty sight! Working at a hospital I've had a first hand experience on many ways that a colostomy bag comes in handy for patients getting what they want. They bring new meaning to the term "dirty bomb". Hope I...

If all else fails a colostomy bag may suit this problem.  ;D That way while running it will be stored away in a nice convenient place, a bag strapped to your leg!

  For my pushup test I had to do as many push ups as I possibly could. The only test I had a 60 second timelimit for was the sit up test. Are you absolutely sure they give you 60 seconds only for your push up test? I would call your CFRC and find out for sure. I've noticed from this site that...

  Another good way to excercise for the hand grip test is to build your forearm muscles. Grab a weight (say around five pounds) and hold it in your hand. Hold your arm straight out and move your hand up and down. Do as many as you can with that hand and then switch to your other. Make sure you...

For those of us who were selected on the July 18 Selection Board, I have some troubling news   :'(   I talked to my RO today and he informed me that I have been selected for 031 Infantry, which is good news but I already knew this (thanks to Kincanucks). The bad news is he told me that I...

  For my push up test, the instructor put a pencil about 2-3 inches off the ground in front of my face. I would have to come down and touch the pencil with my nose and then fully extend my arms on the way up. If I were you I would practice my push ups by touching my chest to the ground. That...

YES!!! Selected for 031 Infantry! Anyone received the actual call yet? Let us know when you do. Also, I was under the impression that trades like Infantry and SigOps were being fast tracked. So recruits for trades being fast tracked who didn't make the July 18 selection board still have a chance...

As have I..... My RO was very knowledgeable and a great help. Only good things to say so far of the CFRC and their employees. Although I get upset about how long the wait may be, I understand that things of this nature take time. Thanks to the CFRC and its employees!!! I salute you. :salute: :cdn:

  What trade are you signed up for? I've heard that 031 INF have many positions available so I'm confused as to why it's taken this long and still no phone call. I've heard through the grapevine from people in the army that they are very short recruits for the Infantry trade. If this is true...

  Howdy... does anyone know when Christmas leave is, if there is an actual Christmas leave? If so what are the dates? And also, if you are doing your BMQ or SQ and it runs through Christmas time, does it stop for the holidays and then continue afterwards? I must know as my family is planning a...

Hey you guys that just got the call.... when were u merit listed? I was merit listed July 5 so I'm hoping that I made the July 18 selection board and will get the call soon. I'm going 031 INF as well. I haven't been waiting a month yet and I already got the jitters to go. Anybody from Southern...

Hey so does this mean that the July 18 selection board results are out??? Kincanucks I think you should come back early from vacation.... we need your expertise! To the guys that have just recieved the call....when were u merit listed? I was merit listed July 5 so I'm hoping to get the call. ...

  Hey dude.... I've been talking to a buddy form work as well who did basic three years ago. He told me that being strong is a bonus but you need to have endurance. I'm waiting for the call for my BMQ and in the mean time I've been running my ass off. If anything, concentrate on cardiovascular...
