I'm was put on Temporal Category for couple months for knee surgeries and broken ribs and I'm planning to go back to my regular Physical Fitness standards, I was denied mag weights, training plate when I asked for them from the unit CQ and clothing store. I'm planning to spend two hours each day...

On an IBTS weekend I was told I'm qualified as marksman and I am qualified up to DP2A in Infantry. I was never given any sort of the qualifications badge, I didn't even know that the command badge existed until a few days ago

Thanks, I went to Denison and got pretty much what I was looking for. one question, is there an infantry patch and qualification patch? I didn't know about this till the tailor at denison mentioned it to me

Hey, I've been in P Reserves for over two years but not once I had to wear my DEUs. Now a good friend of mine died and there is going to be a military funeral within the week, I need to get all the patches done up I'm still missing the shoulder patches, do you know the exact location where they...

I've used the knee pads for a couple months now and they are lighter than I thought they were and they are also stiffer than the conventional knee pads and give me nice padding when I'm kneeling on rocks and pebbles. Besides the cost, I think it is so far a nice investment. It also actually...

A friend of mine in SQ had his helmet cam from e-bay for 80 bucks and it insert for flash discs and it worked fine, and it was waterproof, shock proof etc. The cameras u mentioned there look fine but the price scares me

For use for others to use as reference: My transfer was started and I was attached to the new unit for 3 months through my BOR from my old unit in Meaford (she was there at the time) and from the point when I cleared out of the unit it took 3 months to finish the transfer. Also the education...

FastEddy that thought just haunts me; if I see that happenning, I'll probably shoot myself in the foot to distract myself with the physical pain

this is just ****ed that's just waste of money, time and life... how many people can they prevent from dying of hunger if it doesn't go to that behemoth?

I had the same problem with the gas masks too except I had to ignore how irritated I was with the condition of the gas mask and reached out to the straw with my tongue and guided it to my teeth and pulled it with my jaw to use it. I also don't see the problem with using your hand to push the...

I've changed my mind about the co-op offer from my University. I spent some time with people who were in it last year and it definately sounds like something I want to miss espicially when it is a very low pay/volunteer; I pretty much get what I need to survive while I'm in Geneva. I am...

You will get promoted 2 years from when you were sworn in under conditions: 1.You are fully qualified 2.You were never NES 3.You DO show up regularly. I have friends who's been in for 4 years and qualified still privates

Well clearly the autobiography guide is a Guide, a tool that you can use to write the autobigraphy not an instruction to follow. Second, the supplies such as foot powder and blue pen are avalible at the course, that is true. It is also true that sometimes you write a memo for adrep and you...

I'll tell you 3 things you DON'T want to do: 1. Mention that you were cadet, even in your autobiography. 2. Temper with anything after the light out. 3. Stick out and be 'that guy' that everyone hates in your platoon. I'll also tell you 3 things you DO want to do: 1. Prepare to write LEGIBLE...

Just my personal opinion for Captain's bars for lacing is great with the GP boots. I can simply loosen the laces to take the boots off and tighten the laces to put them back on. Nothing going through anything and all you need to do is just pull two loose laces if I can't see anything. The best...

I'm really confused now... what happens to the new MLVW,rucksacks and rainjacket now?

believe me 12 BFT isn't anything to brag about, it is just a fact that I did them I got screwed over on paperwork, and somehow my FTP had to look like me to the Plt.Commander who signed my ftp's report and not mine. Besides, what BS and war story am I telling from doing training cause i got...

What I mean by Captain's bars is instead of tying the laces when you get to the top of the boots, cross the laces to opposite eyelets and put two strands of laces on the last  two eyelets. This way you get 2 bars over top of your entire lacing, and some people refer it as "captain's bars"

The BSing about Military service pisses me off, espicially from those first year ROTP students who hasn't even been to BMOQ, not that I've done anything better but at least I like to keep my mouth shut when I'm not talking to my friends in the unit. I instinctively told a 19 year old guy yo...

I probably grew into the GP boots because I didn't take em off while in the trench during SQ. I still can't feel the left side of the right foot, and days ago peeled off about 3squarecm of dead skin off my feet. Besides my feet take a lot of abuse because 6km run is part of my each day. The...
