    "1 piece sleeping bag" for course?

    I would bring both, reason being, that if you use one, then you can submit it to get cleaned while using the other, but I am a bit of a neat freak!

    Is Patrolman Officer Material(CEOTP)?

    I guess it all depends on if you are staying the same trade, or like me going to a diffeent branch all together. I did have doughnuts with the SNCO's but thats just our usual Friday morning routine. To me it's no big deal, as getting OCDT is not a promotion, it's an appointment, so I don't need...

    Is Patrolman Officer Material(CEOTP)?

    I received my offer on 4 April ish, and on my message it said Appointment to OCDT April 30th. So today was my first official day as an OCDT, you don't get your commission until after your BOTP, because you are a MCpl you should bypass IAP, I was a Sgt and I all I got out of was IAP, and as I...

    Cavalry fighting vehicle inspired by the UAE

    Having seen (prob like most of you) the BMP 2 Fire, I like it! They treat it as... well a machine gun (I know a novel idea). I like the 1 round ranging, and then the volley of 30 to 40 rounds, yes the chance of hitting the same spot twice is low, but it (like our 25mm) is a big machine gun! Now...

    Staring BMQ in July 2007?? Roll Call!!

    It is Called St Jean, not St Jeans, although I am sure the Quebecers would love to hear you call it that! Maybe people are going, they jsut don't want to reply!

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    "why do you need a razor in the field" are you for real, just because you are in the field does not mean you will not shave or wash! IT"S CALLED HYGENE PEOPLE!!! You stand more chance to get disease in the field than in Garrison. Bring a small picture in a frame of your family, it shows you have...

    Anything and everything to make the CF better/bigger...

    I am sure I have heard of this before...oh yes a few years ago they were throwing around the idea of a UN peacekeeping force. it might work as a peacekeeping type force, but as others pointed out it wouldn't work as a defence force! Think of this, look how Canadians already view the deaths in...

    Number of pilot admissions per year

    I had no previous flight experience. I do have 4 tours, including Afghanistan. I am in an operational Regiment that is doing back to back to back to back Tank Sqn rotos, and maybe even a Recce roto thrown in next year. I wish I had time to do some Flight schooling! I was picked up! Now that I am...

    IAP and missed day.

    Yes we are all in the CF, I have been in quite a long time, and am currently a Snr NCM, if this little jest hurt your feelings, maybe a career in the Forces is not for you as you will do a lot more hurtful things than a few little comments!!!

    Is Patrolman Officer Material(CEOTP)?

    Congrats patrol man, I also did most of the tracking down in regards to my CEOTP. You should check the dates on the original message, because mine said I had to sign and send in the acceptance by 15 April, and there would be no extensions! I hope you don't get screwed because of a technicality...

    Number of pilot admissions per year

    WOW way under, I am about 160 - 162ish and I think I am very short and very close to the line! Mind you I did sit in a Griffon the other day, moved the seat as far ahead as it goes and had to move it back, so I wonder how short that person was! I also heard they measure your body parts and even...

    IAP/BOTC combined course...?

    ya why not show up too early, you might get to do cool things like "cut the grass with scissors and a ruler" or get to "hang out with your instructors in Montreal!" They already have your room sorted, and if you show too early it could throw a wrench into the plans and then you stay in transient...

    A question before I leave for IAP.

    The only way you can "bypass" IAP is if they (Ottawa, Borden whoever) has asked to see proof that you have done a JLC or PLQ or whatever you crazy kids are calling it today!

    Proper protocol for Officer Cadets

    well Kincanucks, you and I totally disagree. I think it is kinda pompous to thank me for saluting your commission! If I do an extremely well job at something than fine thank me, but would you thank me for showing up for work? really it's one in the same. I showed up I saluted, no need for a...
