the problems im experiance with my bayonet scabbard are something almost everyone ive talked to over here is experianceing with it. the crappy knives themselves seem to be limited to small numbers and i cant speak to the effectiveness of the wirecutters on it but id be willing to bet that it...

ah well mistook the msg to be direct to me my bad

no thats not the point im trying to get across here love793. Although part of my point is about how recruits are not physically ready for course my main point apon starting this thread was that candidates(not all but most) are showing up without any serious understand of what they are getting...

thanks for starters i aint "a new guy". secondly no mtter how u wear it(yes even on the hips like anyone who had half a brain wore it) it still bounces around. thirdly these complaints about lack of space. THE BUTT PACK DIDNT HAVE THAT MUCH SPACE!!!!! also its not like you could use anything...

why is the standard 19 for when ppl join. B/c noone would pass if it was 50. Put to 25 and i bet youd lose about 10-15% of the ppl who show up to BMQ's. And its not so much the lack of physical fitness preparidness as much as it is the lack of pyschological readiness and a proper commitment...

im sorry guys but i find soldiers can Bi*ch about anything. Does your tac vest require , duck tape or zap straps to hold mag pouches or canteen pouch in place...no. u can actully change mags on the run with the tac vest and have the pouch closed and secured with one hand unlike the webing.if a...

well this just seems like yet another political game. About 4 or 5 yrs ago i heard politicans speak of how their parties if elected would put money back into your forces buying new equipment bla bla bla. This game is well rehersed in Canada. I agree with the others who said we should concentrate...

GPS, should never be used at the expense of your ability to properly use a map and compass. Far to often people use these wonderful tools like GPS but what happens when they crack and break or the batteries die.

firstl like to say i hate the "a c's a p" attitude. it drives me nuts. its a underachieving way of sailing through courses. secondly shortbus all to often ive seen both that grayman and the loud vocal guy win top candidates. it goes either way. really depends on the instructors. FinallyAquilus...

No offense but sigs have all that money b/c they have no troops. i think the sigs unit in toronto has like 14ppl per parade night. I think the int boys have more than that. If you want to talk on a radio all day and drink coffee when you or a newer guy has made it then ya...sigs is the place for u

Be certin you know what your getting into. I just returned from Coral Jump in B.C. the longest running ex in the CF(Mo or Reg). Its a brigde camp for engineers.all you do is lift bridge parts into place for 5 days.(as a side note 8 bay double story MBG put up, jacked down and decked in 130mins...

I disagree. The min standard is 25 push up intervals. Thats a min. If the recruit cant do 25 his/her first weekend they did not prepare for their course. 48th ya i was refered to as the nintendo generation 4yrs ago on my BMQ but i challange these recruits to go to CFSME when bridging was still...

well what REALLY happens is we slide 1 blunt object and 1 sharpe object into this ring were the top 2 troops are. And its your classic fight to the the death. With the music from star trek when Kirk and Spock were fighting. Great times. Na 48 hit the nail on the head.

I noticed someone inquired to the possiblilty of the PT standard for people join the CF lowered. My question to that is what standard. 19 push-ups for males aged 17-19 and 8 or 9 for females ages 17-19. Thats not a standard. We did a pt test first weekend of course(the BMQ im teaching) we had 1...

During October of this year i began teaching on my first BMQ course. I was fired up ready to go looking forward to the challenges that lay ahead. Unfortunately i quickly realized the quality of my troop through the first weekend. a Platoon of 47 quickly dropped to 41 by the end of the second...

We recently had a guy atempt to get on the dive course but was unsuccessful. We have employed Combat   Divers...

Ya saw this on the news. I believe the phrase that was constantly being used by reporters was something along the lines of if the Americans cant secure their own bases what chances do they have of securing the polls for a election. What a mess, should be intresting to see what the final say is...

You have to be nominated by your regiment( pretty much your section commander, troop Commander or Platoon Commander, and in many cases RSM and CO) to send you on you PLQ.Dont expect PLQ without at least 3 yrs in for the reserves and Reg force its much longer. Once you complete your PLQ you then...
