hahaha are you serious. When I got in the army at 21, I had never seen shoe polish before. My nike sneakers never needed them. And a beret a remember when they gave me that thing I was like, I'm not wearing that lol, oh so long ago. :) :)
No I always believe there are 3 sides to every story(his,theirs, and the truth :))But I know this guy went through hell for 3 weeks. He was removed off of my DP3A a career course. Only missed a couple of days before he returned. After he was cleared he was called by mental health and told that...
My buddy here at Gagetown test came back inconclusive. He went up in front of the man told he was being placed on C&P and being removed from tour. He said I don't do drugs and I want a lawyer. Called military lawyer, went to MIR to get another drug test done. When the medic seen him he said he...
There is no Carl G taught on SQ and Canada hasn't used the word FIBUA in years, it is called urban operations. I'm going to get a schedule here scan it and put it up. I'm on my DP3A right now so won't be for 5 more weeks but I'll get it up to stop all this confusion, because some people make me...
I don't know with times like these and the strengthening of the forces. You might just see some guys moving very very fast up through the rank system. The Liberal party has destroyed us over the years, so I don't think we have much of a choice. And you are not going to be able to wait for the...
Although like the others only a rumour, but the chief clerk said it was going to be right around 5%. Again only a rumour, she heard it from friend in Ottawa, but I love rumours when it comes to things like pay, it is just like buying a lottery ticket haha :P
Ok I see a lot of confusion in this thread,so maybe I can help.
-There is no driver courses offered on the SQ course.
-Weapons learned C-7, C-6, and C-9
-There are 2 weeks Monday to Friday in the field overnight.
-There is also an overnighter in the middle of the course. It is used for winter...
No there is not any set time in between. The problem is we are so back logged on Sq's. You may o r may not be going to gagetown. Gagetown at LFAATC is the center of excellence for Sq's. And I'm pretty sure you do your engineer training here as well. The course is roughly 6 weeks long (give or...
Sorry but as for this. No. Troops are showing up from Borden with 6 or 7 troops on the course who have set up an artic tent. I know it is summer time but still part of the SQ package is winter warfare. All the troops that show up from st. jean have already done this. When this happens we teach...
I agree with you 100%, and not that it makes any difference, but we do know about the headaches you guys go through. Keep up the hard work fellas, I know it is frustrating :salute:
Guess you didn't like me being honest. I know I'm new on this board. But buddy wanted to know if there was a difference. So I pointed it out what noticible differences I have personally seen. Now myself instead of acting like a 2 year old, would concentrate on making myself the best soldier I...
I'll have you know battleschhol is no joke. Unless it has turned a complete 180 in the last 10 years. As a section commander in 2RCR I do care about my troops that have passed battleschool and how well they have done. With the kind of tempo we keep, I make sure I read this persons files and...
I am teaching SQ now. What the general consensus is around my office is, the troops coming out of St Jean are a lot more professional and hardworking. Their weapons drills are way better then that of Borden ( I think the weapons cadre in St Jean is all infantry)which could explain the better...

Have a pretty good one I think
Was in Petawawa last winter for ex. Met up with a buddy haven't seen since battleschool. We were at the bar and he walks over to these 2 larger ladies. I'm thinking, what is he doing. He looks at one of them and says "so you don't sweat much for a fat chick"
I...
Been 10 years in a rifle COY at 2 RCR. Never heard anyone calling Pte's rifleman, eg "Rifleman Bloggins get over here." I know my CSM and RSM would have me for that. May be used in other regiments, not sure. I'll ask some PPCLI guys Monday and get back to ya. Not by any means trying to...
