People went on dismounted exercises before the CTS ruck existed. You don't need it. As someone in a support trade I can tell you entitlement is based on the unit you are posted to. However, it is more complicated than simply showing up at clothing stores and trading in your old one. It must...

A few years ago I was on a tasking with a WO from CE. He said the plan was to build a new building in the field between LdSH and 1 Sigs. All the little flags/rods in the end of the field closest to 1 Field Amb were, apparently, "soil testing markers."

Seriously man? It took me about 30 seconds on Google: Source: http://www.rmc.ca/adm/index-eng.php

Have you finished an LSVW driver course? If not, I wouldn't get my hopes up about DP 1.0

From the article:

Yes, that is what they mean. So you don`t look like a sloppy dink when walking around for the first few days.

You need to start running more, running is a big part of the PT on BMQ and will be a factor in your follow on training. Get off the treadmill and go outside. Running on a treadmill is a good way to get your cardio up but at this point you need to acclimate your body to the type of running you...

What are you talking about? I am pretty sure the plan is to eventually replace all man-packs/hand-helds with Harris radios and upgrading vehicle installs to next generation GD radios. I'm sure it will be just as successful as the plan to push data comms over EPLRS.

Short of driving your car? None. It appears that Via can only get you to Oshawa so you would still need to get from there to Peterborough. Plus you would be cutting it close getting from St Jean to the Via station. The last train leaves at 1830 and you have to get all the way to downtown...

Based on what? I know a lot of ACISS pers who have taken their BMQ-L elsewhere. You may end up taking it in Wainwright, Shilo or Gagetown. Based off the experiences of the newest guys to be posted in to 1 CMBG it is hard to know where you are going until you get a course loading message...

You need to be there when everyone else is. Otherwise how will people mentor you? Rations and quarters (food and lodging) is provided when you are away from your home unit regardless of the time you serve. When you make contact with a recruiter they will let you know as well as give you reams of...

The army doesn't issue athletic socks, so make sure you bring something you are comfortable running in for morning PT.

I stand corrected on the time off. However, I am not sure what the deal is with SQ/BMQ-L. I know it is roled into the Battle School/DP1 for the regular force guys, I am not sure if the reserves do the same thing and if they do it is taught in discreet mods.

While I can only speak for ACISS, I am sure the other trades are similar. You will receive a certificate upon completion of trades training but it will not be of any use to you with civilian employers. Having a piece of paper saying you are "ACISS IST DP 1.1" qualified won't mean anything to a...

Do you mean the Loyal Eddies? 1. Reserve units do their own recruiting you will need to talk to them directly. 2. BMQ (basic training) may be offered full time or on weekends depending on the needs of the unit. Going forward, not all many courses are full time only. It is your responsibility...

We can not afford to fall any further behind China in the female model arms race. It is all our duty to impress upon the government that the model gap must be closed.

What mail are you expecting to receive? Get a data plan for your phone, switch to electronic billing, and pay everything online. After BMQ you will be posted to a base for PAT, where depends on your trade. If your wait is long enough you may end up at another base for OJT or tasked elsewhere...

I believe they have been out of production for 30 years now. The USAF, while crazy rich, does have a finite amount of money and supporting a 30+ year old air frame is expensive. Their logic being: it will only get more expensive to support this plane that can only do one thing. Granted it does...

Two boxes and bubble wrap? That is a lot of room to take up. A Pelican 1060 Micro Case starts at about $30 on Amazon. I think that is the one I have. I can fit Munchkin, two expansions and a deck of cards in there. Even if that is too small, take a look around there are a lot of options much...

Take the cards with you. You may not get a chance to use them on BMQ but after that you will most likely goto PAT and have a lot of time to kill while waiting for trades training. You may even get some use out of them after that. On my QL3s we were not allowed electronics for the first few...
