cpgear.com has all the straps and pouches needed to make this. (available in cadpat) but you will have to check surplus stores for the 64 frame.

No SigOp QL3's for him. If he doesn't have his 404's he won't be going on course. They will probably force him to remuster.

Im not sure what the actual course dates are but they run courses all  through winter.

RIP Mark.  :cdn: Although I didn't know Mark personally, I had just finished SQ with his brother Dan as my roommate. He always spoke proudly of his brother. Condolences to Dan and the rest of his family.

What can they possibly organize when they can barely get weekend leave passes back for everyone. It's a definite staffing problem and I don't see it getting much better unless they can get some more nco's in there to help.  But at the same time, I don't see why they dont get the 100 or so troops...

Just goes to show you that as well with overseas the dangers that are present in everyday life. Mitchell was part of PRETC at CFB Borden. Condolences to his family and friends. Source...

Ya im off to Gagetown with you. Gonna be a hot summer to do SQ. Can't wait to get away from PRETC for a while though.

Ok, I get the point. I will use the spelling / grammar checker from now on.  :salute:

Thanks for the spelling correction :salute: A few more pics Plotting are next topo point. They are much easier to find in the day time Now wheres that topo point agian? Oh yeah its in the middle of these woods somewhere. Setting up a roadblock for some scenarios

2 platoons will be starting with you, An english one and a french one. Usually around 50 people per but sometimes it gets up near 60. You will probably lose a bunch in the first 2 weeks to people that VR (voluntary release) the ones that don't wanna deal with the bullsh*t or can't take being...

That camp was all for the last week, the 2nd week is still at the Biv sites, the nights are still filled with little to no sleep due to century, fire drills and stand to's. I just got use to the sound of an arty-sim as my alarm clock every morning. Hear whistle then a big bang and you know its...

I had some pics lying around from the last week in Farnham when we were at the Camp so I figured it post them. O.P Tower Sideview of the OP and the first aid tent On Patrol, right before we had to suit up and walk a km in mopp 4  :-\ Cadpat at work. Defence around the topo point...

Good job on getting accepted. St Jean is a nice little place the Mega (cflrs) is huge, you guys will more than likely be posted to the green sector and on a nice floor with tons of stairs to climb (wait till you climb them with your ruck and duffle bag after returning from farnham ;)) finding...

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't even for a second hesitate to get out of PRETC and actually get on course sooner, and I do use the opportunity of more free time to get into the gym and run more. There is alot of people there that avoid PT like the plague, almost half the Coy is on light duties...

I can't complain about the whole 'attached posting' few extra bucks every payday never hurt anyone  ;D Gotta love the PT 5 days a week now, playing volleyball all morning was tough work  8)

Doesn't sound like you have much to worry about, I wouldnt stress over it. Train as much as you can before you go, instead of aiming for a pass aim for the exempt level... depending on your age (Mine was level 10.5 im 21 .. i think it was like 19-22 or something similiar) then from there you...

Ok, not too argue with people who I know have more experience and knowledge than me. But during BMQ a failure on the shuttle run is a release now, they stressed this to us, and more than that we lost someone to this for not being able to complete level 6. This could be very different for the...

Correct a failure on the express does not equal a release, a failure on the SHUTTLE RUN itself does equal a release. this is a fact. IF you do not reach the level 6 required (don't stress, its not hard to get) you will be released, I had someone fail my BMQ because of this. (march ,2006) it is...

As for an Edmonton posting im not sure, they basically send you where your needed. Plan on spending the next year or so (when you get in) in a few different places. More than likely St-Jean Quebec for 11 weeks for basic (13wk course is starting soon I believe) then you will goto Borden attatched...

You must pass the shuttle run or you are released. You do not have to get 9.5 to pass. You must reach level 6, which is easy even for someone who doesnt run much. If you can do your 2.4k without stopping in a reasonable time (12 mins or less) dont worry about getting level 6.  Depending on your...
