I'm sorry to hear that! I guess I just lucked out :) On a side note... Do not get hurt after you received your offer of enrollment. The extra paperwork sucks and may delay my going to basic.

DAA thank you for your reply. I have already received my offer and had the results of my PLAR (185 day service credit and back pay) explained to me. I know that I am skipping the schooling part of my trades training (no Moncton,) however I still need to do the 3.5 months of clinical and 2 weeks...

Sorry to reboot this from a few months ago. I would like to clarify if the PCP anglo QL3 courses are for Med Techs who have come in semi skilled?

Scratch that I got my call yesterday. I'm also semi skilled so I'm not sure if that changes anything

I'm swearing in and Flying from Edmonton Alberta. I'm living in Grande Prairie though. How about yourself?

I just got the call today and I'll be there!!

Got my call!! Swearing in in November 7th and St. Jean starts on November 10th!!!! I'm very happy and super excited

Merit listed and waiting for the November selection date

I am using weights to prepare for basic myself. Especially a made at home sandbag out of an old backpack since they are used in the FORCE test and are unstable and awkward to lift. My rational is that I have to pick up and put down heavy objects in my day to day as a paramedic so I would assume...

Well called CFRC Edmonton this morning and found out that my PLAR and Security Check are both complete! Very exciting news now I am waiting to be merit listed hopefully aiming for the November Selection dates. Today is a very good day :)

Wes-Ken, Thank you I will look into it. I mostly just do it as a hobby and to unwind after a tough day at work. I always look forwards to learning more about training philosophies (especially sport specific) and how they relate to the full body athlete.

Hello, So when I was playing soccer we started to implement Nike SPARQ training and I found that I really enjoyed it. I was wondering as I got ready for basic if these sort of drills would have benefits. A large amount of the drills are on quick feet, direction change and sprint speed. I have...

Thanks I think I'm getting gassed from lack of rest days because MMA is a full body workout.

I noticed you don't have any rest days. How long have you been doing this cycle and have you felt like you've hit a wall? I ask because I am trying to figure out my workout schedule around half marathon training, mma classes and bodyweight workouts

I love doing this. Try taking your shoes off and running barefoot up and down the beach in the sand after. Brush the sand off and socks and shoes off. Works for me :)

Haha funny you should mention Cheetahs... A girl I went to high school with is now a dancer there. Also, recently asked to leave the fine establishment after trying to pay a less than adequate stripper to put her clothes back on (I think I offered my sweater) I'll be needing the luck so thank you

Hello So to pass time and work on my pre-basic cardio, I decided to sign up for my first half marathon. It is the Kelowna Wine Festival Half Marathon on September 6th; 11 weeks away. Since I am running alone I was wondering if anyone else is entering or wanted to? MedicTWO

Sorry Master Corporal Steven, I think I left out some information about my chosen trade being Med Tech. I already have my PCP-IV from BC and am looking to improve my odds of being selected. Any suggestions of courses I can take while I wait for my PLAR to be completed? Thanks

Perfect thanks!

There doesn't seem to be that option. It is a new version though; I just downloaded it as I have to send the laptop in to be repaired.
