pretty cool, even if it isn't 100% accurate.

I read a notice down in my local QM that as of June 1st (today) every CF member was to have CadPat? So I can go down and get it tonight if I wanted? Or did I miss something? I'd like to have it for when I go on course this summer....

Anyone else find it hard not to crack a smile when the instructors are yelling at you? We were doing a practice for a parade last weekend, and the Sgt was like "you! stop moving your rifle when you march!" and I couldn't help but smile because i'm trying to march, my weapon isn't going to be...

Ensign is a rank on Star Trek.....

They don't hate us... well not as much as the Americans i'd assume.

It was a while ago... he may have been talking about the whole reserves trying to get 400 new guys in total. I'm not totally sure, as I said it was a while ago. Also, do we really need to have the excessive smilies?

Well I know the PLF is trying to get 400 new recruits this year (or was it 300? I can't remember), but I find we're relying on reserves more and more for oversea ops...

I dont know where you guys were training but in my BMQ (same course as I posted about above) the instructors swore at us... y'eno like "get a f*cking grip on your kit!" Mind you, I don't know if this new regulation is no swearing or just no calling troops names with swearing in it (i.e. you...

Canada relies many on reservists for a lot of things. The reg force is pretty small but we have lots of reserves... And as RoKo said... it's not like Canada has many (if any) enemies....

On my BMQ we got pushups a lot. Drop your rifle during drill? That means you lack upper body strength. Pushups. Falling asleep in class? Not enough blood pumping. Pushups. Late for your timing? Pushups. PT? Pushups.

god ****! swearing is just as much a part of the army as uniforms are!

is CLP a good knife oil? :D

Well it seems that no matter what socks I wear and no matter how much foot powder I put on, my feet ALWAYS end up soaked in sweat... :( It‘s getting kinda better though... I still get blisters but not as bad... I‘m worried for SQ, doing all the marching...

I bought a SOG Seal Pup. 4 3/4" blade. Perfect for field use. I couldn‘t be happier.

Guys, let‘s try and keep it civil, mmkay? I think the government should at least pay a percentage, and not to mention that I don‘t think ALL 20,000 will go.... half that MAYBE.

this is when I kinda wish we had american laws... y‘eno, go to the corner store and buy some bread, uzis, milk, tek-9s, eggs, gum... etc hehe :D

This is so dumb. I went to the house of knives today at the mall and he‘s like "sorry! you‘re not 18. you can‘t even look at a knife!" BAH! I think I should be allowed. They give me a rifle but I can‘t buy a knife. :-\

I have a bayonette from a German Karabiner 98k... it‘s nice and thick. Doubt you‘d break it. :) Sur wouldn‘t want to be poked with it though.

You can never have too many knives! Never know when you‘ll need to knife fight a bear to death...

I don‘t really like folding knives though, because if the lock goes, so does the knife.. :( edit: I‘m looking pretty hard at the Short KA-BAR... it‘s a 5.25 inch blade which doesn‘t seem overly big for field use...
