Actually, my flight isn't too bad. The plane takes off at 11:25 pm on saturday and arrives in montreal at 7:09 am.

I'm flying out of vancouver at 11 pm, sep 2nd.

I'm going to St. Jean myself.

Just ran a hilly 10k in 60 min. Every second of it was pure hell :crybaby:. However, I'm a few days away from getting an offer from the CF so I guess it's not that bad after all.

The recruiter told me that this trade would be a good choice since I know 5 languages. Was he right or are languages merely a minor part of the job?

Thanks for the encouragement. I Just recently ran 8 km in 40 minutes, half of which was uphill. It was tough, but allright. But 5 km in 21 minutes?  Now that is some freaky stuff I wouldn't like to touch with a ten foot pole :blotto: EDIT: Trip report for today. Was supposed to run the 2.4k for...

I lift weights and can squat 200 lbs while weighing 150 lbs. Hitting the gym is not the problem here. Should I perhaps just try and get used to it and shave off 5, 10 seconds at a time? Also, I run twice a week, once for speed, once for distance. Gym is twice a week. Reading that thread now, thanks.

I got my 2.4 km at 10:30-11. That's it. I have no problem with distance (I'm pushing 7 or 8 km right now, aiming for 10 before I even get in), but running a 2.4k faster than that just kills me. Will I be allright?

People like you and FutureMilitary need to stay in school. That pesky English language ain't gonna learn itself.

Trite, I know, but you could use that search button. Just type in the trade you are interested in and comb through the results. The FAQ should also have links to threads about the regular workload of an infantryman / [insert trade].

I think I'm in the same boat as derael. Came to Canada 5 years ago and had a hard time coming up with potential references. All my employers and teachers have known me for no longer than a year. Therefore, I settled for a close friend and a family friend who's been my driving instructor...

Can someone offer me advice as to what I'm doing wrong? About 2 months ago, I started doing running, situps and pushups. Since I haven't done any cardio for 2 years and just lifted weights, it was tough. But nevertheless, I went up from 20 pushups/situps to 28 and still going strong in that...

Is there a light snack in the morning before running then( basic)? Or does the drill instructor just make you do it as soon as you get out of bed?

To people saying that one must run before eating/2 hours after a meal to avoid stitches: I was under the influence that running without at least a little food (especially in the morning where you have't eaten anything for 6-8 hours) is detrimental to ones' health. Ideas?

I'm an 18 year old, fresh out of highschool who wants to join the infantry. I've read through the recruitment website as well as the faq several times, but was unable to find answers to my questions. Please be patient and help me out. Thanks in advance. 1) I have applied for my citizenship 6...
