When I was with the Lincoln And Welland Regt in '83, we drove to Fort Drum, NY and boarded choppers there. We flew in to the Matawa Plain in Pet, playing silly bugger and practicing with these NY Air National Guard types (at least I assume they were ANG). No rappelling, but definitely a good go....except for the guys afraid of heights. Not me of course. Well....maybe a little.
As for myths, one of my favs has always been that "x" number of feet of snow/brush/dirt piled in front of you will stop a bullet.

Biggest "myth" I have ever heard of?
It used to be the 16th step of Battle Procedure...not sure what different varieties of BP there are now but...
"Forced Rest".
Now THERE is a myth most of us are familiar with. ;D

Basic training.. Matawa plains... 10 of us in the section
MCpl walks in with a football....
MCpl "Who's up for a game"
Everyone puts their hand up but me.
MCpl "What, you don't want to play?"
ME "Not a huge fan of sports"
MCpl "Ok, everyone who had their hand up is cleaning washrooms."
Thank god... not being a jock paid off for once.
NEVER Volunteer. Who has their driver's licence... was my other favourite.
You're a recruit on course... like they're letting you drive somewhere?!
Stupid is as stupid does.

Oh the beat goes on... and this a true one, delivered by a very serious LCol at a stand down parade, it had to come from somewhere (above) because this guy was (is) a very intelligent man...
Troops, I fully expect that within a year you will see Coyotes, here on this Armoury floor...
Of course to make it worse, as a particularly tall and oafish fellow I am usually right marker at such affairs, thus parked next to the SSM on parade. Shite, when that zinger came down range it took every once of discipline (and fear of the stick the nasty little man beside me was wielding) to keep my cake hole shut! "Yeh right! now that I'm a part timer The Queen is gonna give me kit no one trusted me with as a full timer...."

My favorite was just before your haircut at basic in Cornwallis.
This coming from a more senior recruit:
"Don't worry the haircut's not that bad :rofl: ,but watchout for the vaccinations. The ones in the arms only hurt for a couple days but the square needle in the left nut is a killer."
