This one happened in my SQ a couple of days ago (Camp Vimy). We were having vaccinations done that day. Apart from the look on people faces the third time they get poked (and the one scrawny-looking teenager passing out), nothing else was really interesting or even slightly amusing. However...

Went for the medical and all seems to be in order. I just have to get a report completed by a doctor (I mentioned I had a tumor on the questionnaire we had to fill out, even though it dates back to about 12 years ago), and have it sent to the medical office before they send everything out to...

September 21 - CFAT [Qualifed Infantry] Extremely nervous, and I thought I had failed it for certain, but passed it nonetheless. Though I hadn't prepared myself for it, I wish I could have. It really would have helped to ease the stress and to help refamiliarize with the subject matter. I was...

I envy you. Congrats!  :salute:

Hey all, My name is Karl, I've recently went to pick up an application to the Canadian Forces (Reserves). I handed everything in exactly 1 week later, and I can honestly say I've never been so giddy about joining ANYTHING. I used to be in the Cadets (left as a Warrant Officer), and look at the...
