I love the CTS ruck as a vehicle tech,  I can load half my house into it and my truck doesn't care how heavy it gets  ;D

Did a quick search and didn't find anything that quite matched. I'm looking to upgrade my academics in order to eventually pursue a university degree, I need to pick up a few high school credits to qualify, can I be reimbursed for those online courses through the military (they run at about...

What would close protection consist of?

The honest truth in the infantry right now is you will train about 15% of the time and play cards the other 85%.  All combat arms you will sit around more then anything.  We aren't deployed anywhere in a major way right now and we don't have the budget to train as much as we should. The...

The only way to know for sure is to speak to your recruiter and be up front about everything.  Every application is looked at on a case by case basis.

There is a lot more to being a good officer then being intellectual and, from my experience as a NCM (granted that is only 3 years) the best officers often are hands on. Just food for thought you might be applying for something a little more then you think.

Obviously I'm all for saving lives, but all I can picture with this is me trucking myself through the mud to hook up a stuck Unmanned vehicle because I have no drivers to send into the hole during a recovery.

At 88lbs you could have a kit load-out weighing as much as you  :nod: I've never had issues with weight being 6'4" and 220lbs but eating more, and working out more has been a long standing method of weight gain.  Supplements are great just try and keep fairly natural things like whey proteins...

I honestly feel warrior should not exist.  These people should have a second chance but not on DND payroll.  I think it should be a test at the CFRC if your not quite up to par then leave the file open give them another chance to improve themselves and come back whenever they are ready.  I knew...

I'm at the school now.  After your QL3 (DP1) you must be posted to an OJT centre.  Those are the OJT centres. We can't even pick anything but those bases on our posting preferences.  After you complete QL4 and come back to Borden for your QL5(DP2) You can be posted anywhere.  Until then OJT...
