Ill be leaving now to victoria for tests. 5 hour drive  :( I guess i got lucky, all tests and interview in one day. I start the day at 7:45 AM and who knows when it will end.

Yep, Arthur Currie is the only one i can think of. No one really that stands out in WW2 and post WW2

Try reading "Defeat into Victory." Written by the man who lead the 14th army himself, Field Marshal Viscount Slim

I recall when the newfoundlanders pulled down the flag from goverment buildings, many in the rest of Canada were angry about it, calling newfoundlanders "welfair recipients" and "lazy newfies." People start calling it racist simply because it involves one race. Let me tell you this, that is a...

Well, here you are, the "lost childern." This is a really disturbing case, it's sick. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/03/24/60II/main40269.shtml

Well, bomber, may i ask you where do you live? Also, i would like to point out that a large amount of native childern were not forced by the goverment to attend the schools, but their parents actaully sent them. Yes, some were forced, but not all. My mother attended one of these residential...

The service in Victoria is Horrible at that CFRC. You can never reach the recruiters, you always get answering machines, and some dont even know the facts. I call a regional area code now instead of 1-800. I have a idea. How about just when recruits arrive at basic, they fill out a survey...

OO, summer (june or july.) The basic is for reserve regiments.

Well, ill be in a different unit, but going to the same basic :P

Wow, 40 views already. This thread might break some bloody records.

2%? that is a quite minimal part of our population. Also consider this, 2% spread across 6000 km, it wont destablise the country. Chirst, Canadians of Indian origen out number the native population.

When did you book it? I booked mine on the 11th of March

You have a point there. Or what about the non native school children on reserves, they were abused too. Actaully, the abuses werent as wide spread as some might believe. My grandma taught at one in Alert Bay, she never ever abused the childern, she taught english.

Well, im not sure about the rest of Canada, but here, the natives are quite wealthy (the ones that have jobs.) They enjoy so many benfits over the rest of Canadians that its only a matter of time people start speaking up. Im talking about no income tax, no sales tax, goverment handouts...

Ya, im going for my tests (all of them in one day :) ) on the 22nd of March. Just a NCM status in infantry. I hope i make basic for this summer  :D

Well, its not just a problem there, we on the coast deal with it too. They dont consider themselves as Canadian, but first nations. I say pull out the 7.5 billion dollars out from under them, eliminate reserves, specail status and let them live like Canadians. The only problem would be that...

or suffield I heard stories about it being in B.C. somewhere. Chilliwack maby?

Isnt BMQ alone 30 days? How does that work?

When exactly does it start? I graduate highschool around the the 23rd of June and if its 9 weeks, i will run out of time because university starts around september 8th.

Anyone know where basic is located this summer?
