Yep. This Friday he'll be finished "indoctrination week" and will then have electronics and weekends out as long as they don't screw up too badly. They really gotta do something wrong to lose their weekend because it means their staff has to be there too, and most of them don't wanna be there...

Ok. I never said you were, just said I wasn't sure if you were or not. Thanks for clearing that up. Having been on WFT myself, we only had our weekends off if we weren't on a phase of 1 or 2. WFT1 & WFT2 are the same, but with different instructors and a different schedule so you don't have a...

Don't say "you will" this and "you will" that because most of that stuff all depends on your staff. For example, my electronics were taken away the first day I was there, and we got them back for weekends only, not for any weekdays after 6pm. I'd say you were quite lucky to redo the Express...

Haha. :P Thought somebody might like that. Honestly though, there was literally no dust anywhere.

I had the Christmas break when I did my BMQ so I can answer your questions. The break started on Wed, Dec 16th, and I went back on Sat, Jan 9th. You can pretty much choose what time you come back as long as you're back before Sunday @ 6:00pm. We were pushed harder right before the break, and...

I did exactly what you're thinking of doing. Early in high school I started looking at graphic design. Towards then end of grade 12 I started looking at computer programming. I couldn't pay for it and OSAP wouldn't give me enough. I didn't want to be in debt for the next several years, so I went...

They always have 2 (Sometimes 4) platoons run at the same time. There is different staff for each platoon, but you will be on the same graduation parade. They are called your "Sister Platoon(s)". They make for some great people to pull pranks on. We had quite a bit of fun with our Sister platoon...

I graduated basic back in March, and as I recall there are 3 colors (3 different heights) on each rope. They told us to go to whichever level we felt comfortable doing. It looked high when you were looking up, but once you start climbing you'll probably end up wanting to reach the top, like I...

I'm leaving in less than 24 hours! Heading up by train. Can't wait! 8)

I agree with George. That doesn't sound very good. How many stairs are we talking that causes you to be out of breath? And are you really running up them? Also, I really hope that you've bought at least some things. You can't buy everything there. I have at least half (if not more) of the list...

2 more days... Can't wait to meet you all!

One thing I would recommend is to drink chocolate milk within 30 minutes after your workout; "It has double the carbohydrate and protein content, perfect for replenishing tired muscles. Its high water content replaces fluids lost as sweat, preventing dehydration. Plus it packs a nutritional...

I know what it's like feeling tired most of the time. One of the side effects to my allergy meds is restlessness, so I usually feel tired whenever I first wake up, but it seems to get better throughout the day. I have an easier time falling asleep when I have a fan running, and I haven't really...

Haha! Nice. :P Since they were actually serious about the question, I'll give a serious answer: An actual little person would not be able to do the obstacle/confidence courses and wouldn't be as useful as a normal-height person would in CF occupations/trades, and they probably wouldn't even...

It says that Season 2 was filmed back in 2006. Anyone know when the first season was filmed?

I wouldn't worry about that anymore. When I swore in on Sept 8th, they made us sign something that says we are not allowed to VR until after the first 5 weeks.

One week away... for those of us leaving on the 27th.

This should do it for you: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/31590.0 ;D

For those wondering, the "fitness platoon" where you get put if you fail the PT test is called The Warrior Preparation Company, and you get to retake the test after 30, 60, and 90 days. After the third attempt at 90 days (and you fail) you get released from the CF.

That's a little odd because I was given the "Joining Instructions" booklet weeks ahead of my swearing in ceremony.
