Did you march across Corsica with the French Foreign Legion too? Or did your father not know anybody in that Regiment? There is a little more to going out on training exercises with an army than knowing people who know people. Let alone another nation on the other side of the world.

RFT exists to get people into shape rather than booting them out completely. However it is not something to aim for. I'd go as far as saying it is not looked at in a very good light, especially in your future trade, 031.

Being on a remedial PT platoon that is getting you in shape to just barely pass the minimum standards is not going to help you too much when you get to Bn where the PT standard is a little higher than a 2.4k run. Oh yeah and the 16 hour work days is hardly an excuse for you, it is part of your...

Yes... eating the omelettes ( the flavour of the week is omelette with mushroom sauce) will make you one of the most likely members of the section as Joe Bloggins will be able to have their beans and weiners every morning. However never take the ham steak in mustard sauce, leave that one for...

Man that sounds like a good idea.. maybe that should become the standard, have a few different pieces of kit, all designed to do the job, and each individual soldier can decide which one works best for them. Rather than doing it this way for evaluations only. No LBV is going to work for...

The ones physio issues out. However, Vibram soles trump all.

There are only a couple units in this army that will keep you in shape from just doing unit morning PT. And people who are failing standard annual PT tests are not in this units. Passing a BFT or express test does not make you fit. It is the responsibility of the member to keep up to snuff on...

Some of the most intelligent and educated people in the Forces are NCO's. You come off with a holier than thou attitude towards NCMs, don't know if you mean to or not.

Same for Petawawa, everyone was sized for the flakvest, and the RQ ordered them in, we picked them up and they are on our clothing docs now. We do not have the plates, training or otherwise, however.

Yup, he was a bilingual from La Belle Province.

Most of the 031's I did basic training with had papers saying they were going to the Patricia's. End of course rolled around and they all landed up going to Meaford to become Royals. Funny thing, the only guy that became a Patricia was supposed to become a Vandoo.
