JTF 2 physical fitness-training program

[RetiredRoyal]

Is this doc public or only available for hand delivery from the PSP offices?

I've never seen it online and PSP really guards them now.   Guys usually needed an email/letter from the PSO to get one out here in Edmonton.

If it's supposed to be a secret, its not a very well kept one...

Thanks for the info. They should probably change the name of the document from "JTF2 Pre-selection Physical Fitness Training Program" to "Top Secret, probably won't give it to you if you ask" publication.

Which also makes this quote from CANFORGEN 102/98 ADM(HR-MIL) 066 060952Z Oct 98 sound less sincere than it was probably intended.:

"With this in mind it is urged that any interest in volunteering for svc with JTF 2 be supported to the fullest extent possible."

Usually the fault behind this kind of action is a misinterpretation of what is 'restricted' (confidential, secret or whatever), or that certain people use control over access to information as a form of personal power.  In this case it might just be a PSO with a limited number of pamphlets, or cant figure out how to run the photocopier, or thats just how they were told to control the information.

I am in Edmonton, and if anyone wants one let me know, I know where thier are boxes of them, from what I remember they were supposed to be handed out as a fitness manual for all members.

I tried to obtain one recently from a JTF openhouse and they are indeed restricted to members with an application already in the system. Although im sure others have gotten ahold of them.
