I would take that with a grain of salt because while the recruiter may be willing to hold your file until there was an opening in Edmonton, by the time you complete your training and its time to get posted that opening may close and you will end up getting stuck somewhere. On top of that at...

Edmontons a really nice base and its a nice city. I think that you should know they are going to send you where ever your needed, the army will do its best to give you what you want but it cant always happen.

He makes some good points, he also makes it sound as if changing the armed forces role in Iraq can happen like turning on a light switch.

I had a friend on my basic course who was processed that quickly, but it is not the norm. As for my self the recruiting process took almost a year, so good luck.

My apologies, considering the thread my post was in poor taste. I congratulate the young soldiers on their drive and dedication and urge them to continue to strive to greatness.

This seems extremley unintelligent to me, let's openly publish how to identify our troops.

civvie: "Im so proud of our troops, what is it you do for the army?" gunnar: "DIE, SPY"

I don't think any boxed lunch will ever beat my first box lunch. Ive had lots since then with better contents, but after a week straight of IMPS and all of a sudden the course staff shows up with box lunches. My first reaction was "What the hells a boxed lunch", my second reaction was to get...

"All right troops, today we are going to learn how to rock climb, then we are going to go climb on a rock face." This thing needs to get tossed straight out the window. Why?!? 1. She volunteered (to be a cadet) 2. You can have no expectation of safety when doing something inherently dangerous...

Hes gonna come back changed, everyones right about that. People told me I looked taller walked faster and I definitely came out with more confidence. As far as being a neat freak, I'm still a slob I just know how to turn it on if someones looking. (I hate kit and quarters)

Even if he had a clear cut case of self defense (sounds to me like he did), the media would still chastise him for using his "killers training" on civilians. The only way a soldier ever gets decent recognition from most of the media is if there is a picture of one running from some catastrophe...

I cant believe this thread produced five pages. I cant believe I read five pages of insane rants about bunnies. I cant believe Im contributing to the fifth page.

- Bad primers - Stopages - Empty magazines (wheres my Hollywood mag with infinite ammo) - non smokers (yes I'm polluting the air, now get back into your SUV while your wife's driving the truck and little Timmy has the mustang) - Being asked if I'm a reservist after telling someone I'm in the...

Everyone in the Army is now required to have SQ. You may do it in basic or some where else but the bottom line is you will get it done somewhere. (Dont take this as gospel this is just what I heard when I did mine)

I'm a kit wh*re, so when I first got my small pack I loaded to the tits with the valise and went camping. I learned that a small pack loaded like a ruck does not feel good. I'm not going to say the ruck feels great but its 100 times better than an overloaded small pack. The small packs a great...

its not the size of the dog in the fight... its the size of fight in the dog

I just spent some time trying to gather any info. in regards to this protest and I couldn't find anything. I was however able to find endless amounts of info on Keefer. From what I found he seems like a decent Prof. in the way that he provokes thought, its too bad he does it from an extreme...

Damn right, I was drunk through my entire 3's course, its so boring you have to be. I kinda over did it in the end but it was all in good fun. I was on tomas' course, and I cant believe he would b*tch online for the little bit of cock we got for 1 bad friday, we didnt even lose our wknd. All we...

Rare kit ICE, the new combat gloves, small packs, tac vests ;D maybe thats just my base qm  ;D
