Hey Thompson, your CO-OP course is LEGENDARY. Phil Skinner and Mike Johnson told me ALL about it.

Oh I love this, "my Coop was tougher than your weekend, no it wasn‘t."
Guys everyone‘s course (no matter what it is) was tougher than anyone elses, thats an unwritten rule. Seriously though while odds are a F/T course ie summer will be tougher than a weekend course because it runs continually, there can be exceptions. With the right collection of staff and students a weekend can be tough or slack.
Now sit down yung‘uns and let me tell you how tough it was in the old days when I was first issued my Brown Bess Musket and scarlet tunic. :warstory:

i dunno.. for reservists i think that the summer basic should be the only way to go, and even then, step it up a bit... I know that when i got back from my 3s and saw one or two of the raw recruits who had passed, i knew that they weren‘t throwing enough people out... even in shilo 2002 there were a few people that my instructors would have LOVED to seen thrown out on their @$$es, but because of the due process and the cmdt, they weren‘t thrown out....
at my unit, we had the weekend basic, but those weekenders had to go to shilo, because they weren‘t able to get the course recognized for some reason (don‘t ask me why). One of my friends who did both says that the 2 experiences are totally different and cannot be compared to each other...

i‘m also doing my reseve BMQ in halifax right now...
so far we‘ve done one weekend, and yes, I hurt, but that‘s only because i‘m not used to drill and standing at attention and such. i‘ll get used to it.
And the only time I felt like leaving was when I tried to do drill after eating too many scrambled "eggs".... ugh... doin drill with an upset stomach sucks LOL! oh well. It was fun all in all. We get c7s next weekend so i‘m looking forward to that.
personally I think the coolect peice of kit is the webgear we put together...
im scared for PT tho. :X

Odd... Like we were gonna get Jacked up more now because of it... I was never in the news personally, thank god.. it was hard enough being the grey man, when youre the only service REMF on the whole course.
But I can say as hard as it was, and despite the, less then legal activites which occured it was still a good solid course.
Im sure phil and mike have already given you the details of what accually happened on the course so there is no need to say it again here.
