Hey, I hate to Necro an dying thread but i had a question that sort of fits in with the theme.    I'm a reservist and one of my subordinates recently approached me about an issue she has regarding the PSP run hockey team.  Apparently now that her class B contract is up she can no longer play...

Wow, I am totally suprised someone hasn't jacked me up for that last post yet considering my past experiances with grammer, thank you.  I would like to apologise to anyone who happened to read it.  I must have been hit over the head just prior to writing it because I can't even read it.  What I...

Well our CO made it very clear to the medics on the course right now that because there is a lack of PCP qualified med techs and only PCP med techs are going outside the wire, that there is a good chance of them ending up serving outside the wire.  My dream posting right would be attached to an...

Quick question, does anyone here know how to sharpen a serrated edge?  I have this great Seal pup knife (http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/botach_1945_103590519) that my dad bought just before he retired his previous knife he claims to have had for 15 years before someone filched it and...

See this is something useful to figure out before going out and buying a super expensive piece of personal kit. Thanks, you probably just saved me about 5k USD. :o  Its kind of sad tho, I was really getting into the idea behind owning my own piece of dragonskin.

OK i guess here's the best place to post this since i was looking at picking up a suit of dragonskin if someone has a more recent or appropriate place to shift over to please let me know since I've been browsing an searching for better part of an hour.  I'm a reservist medic so my odds of...

Ok this is an old thread but the idea of discount oakleys is just too great.  I'm going to go ask around at my unit about this whole oakley military discount but i have a feeling no one knows about it since i think im the only one who owns a pair of oakleys.  I bought my pair of 1/2 jackets...

Tough to say on that one, my instructors did go through everything and i did have duplicates of somethings and nothing was said however that may have just been because they weren't paying too much attention at the time.  For the most part they were looking for drugs, knifes, cell phones, mp3...

Sorry bout the Delay in re posting but i was off doing my BMQ and SQ.  So yeah my feet were more than just fine they were great and almost 100% blister free even after our ruck marches and the FTX.  The only blister i got was from walking in my civi shoes back from Cultis lake to STC/CFB...

I just finished my BMQ and SQ and as i promised in another thread here are some of the tricks i learned on my courses that helped and a few "tricks" that didn't go over so well.  Reading other posts i couldn't always tell if someone was talking about weekend bmq or full time summer bmq so to...

I just finished my Bmq and Sq as a reservist so i have no clue what it would be like for people in the reg force but what i can say is it  was a great experience. Yes it was very shitty the first two weeks of Bmq, really bad for the first 3 or 4 days, and then it got shitty again at the start of...

Going of to Chilliwack on the 4th for my reservist BMQ anyone else heading out that way this summer (other than the other recruits from the 11th Fd Amb)? See ya there! (P.S. If any of you from the 11th are hitchin a ride down by bus send me a message and we'll see if we cant get together for...

Well i must say the tanic acid worked quite well.  Just soaking them for one day reduced all the swelling and after they dried they were pretty tough and i even managed to walk on them (in combats).  After a few treatments they turned into true callouses that got me through a 13k ruck march. ...

I was told by my lieutenant that i could find them on-line,  ill ask around next time im down at the armoury and see whats what.

I was having a similar problem as you till one of the pte. at my unit told me about real world str.  Doing huge numbers of pushups looks and sounds great but the best way i have found to increase my ability to do pushups is simply by doing dead walks.  Now the aptly named "Dead walk" is quite...

Hi, i was told by my warrant that i could find several of the training videos we have in the base library on-line.  I have been combing the army website (not army.ca but  http://www.armee.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/6_1.asp?FlashEnabled=1& ) and have yet to find anything other than hordes and hordes...

A Sgt. at my unit actually said to eat as much as you can while on basic but avoid simple sugars and go for energy from protein and fat and to hydrate throughout the day not all at once.  As it happens, the same Sgt. is an instructor this summer in Chilliwack, which also happens to be the course...

Not flamed eh? Someone needs to tell me how to quote more than one person (right now i just hit the quote button on the post i wish to quote from) "This is clearly the sort of errant pedantry, up with which we shall not put!" -Journeyman "See , that is where you went wrong, you had a thought...

So I've been trying like mad to break in my feet and boots before basic and after 3 laps  around my local golf course i am the proud owner of two huge blisters on each of my heels.  Now i am also an avid rower and i remember getting blisters like this on my hands before they became thick and...

Munky99999, take it from me, a veteran flamie from this topic, they will not stop.  Just say that you are sorry and move on.  Any argument you try and make with them, no matter how reasonable, will go unnoticed amidst the flames (trust me whatever you're about to say, I’ve said it and was...
