I believe that was the case. I have found the military staff (not that the civilian staff haven't been as well) at ASU Toronto to always be professional and knowledgeable. Any indication to the contrary is due to the limitations of communication over the Internet.

Thanks for the info. I feel a lot better now.

I'm in the midst of an outclearance and phoned up my local ASU (Toronto) and was told by a Sgt there (when I eventually got somebody who didn't seem confused by what a CT/OT was) that I needed to return all my kit and redraw. I pointed out the St Jean JI say otherwise but she was adamant about...

Just got confirmation I'm on: "BMOQ serial L0009E 11 May to 21 Aug 09.". This means a CT/OT I initiated 2 Jan 08 is finally coming to an end. :)

I saw a woman talking on her cell phone while on the sitting stationary bike for at least 30 minutes. Then her "trainer" brought her a Starbucks Coffee. There's just so much that's wrong with the whole situation. :brickwall: And to bring back on topic. Here's an HIT guy's take on CrossFit...

Here's some more information on caffeine and performance. This chap does a nice job of going over the studies, just ignore the Z-Health stuff (Disclaimer: I know nothing about Z-Health. But the kinesiology/exercise science I do.). I don't have the link but I was reading a study recently looking...

Here's one that I don't think has been posted here. It's written by somebody with far more credentials than I have and points out where CrossFit is good and where it isn't. The AFM - CrossFit Final Report...

I'm not stomping away mad I just don't want this thread to go in the direction it appears to be going. It was something that was bugging me and so I thought I'd throw it out there. I'm not really sure where the "don't get mad" stuff is coming from. If I appeared mad I'm sorry, I was just...

Can't be bothered. Just wondering if anyone here knew the answer and to get the CF thread going in a non-fanboy direction.  I failed on both counts. I'll just leave it be.

It's "open source" because there is nothing new in it. If he tried to claim he invented any of it people would jump all over him. I haven't seen any open source license on any of the material such as Creative Commons or Gnu FDL. But then again in a different life I worked in IT using various...

I never meant to across as an HIT basher, nor even a CF basher but I think I may have. I'm also not really seeing a difference between rabid CF supporters and HIT supporters. However the claim that science says 1 set is all you need goes against what is stated in my Ex Phys textbook: "A...

Here's another one: Military Athlete. http://www.militaryathlete.com/ From the guy behind Mountain Athlete the workouts are designed to last 1 hour and it's a 5 on/2 off schedule. There is an explanation given for each workout. It's CrossFit inspired but the authour has since gone his own way...

He claims it's because of an injury. But I saw some pics of war vets with amputations (some bilateral arm and leg) who didn't let that stop them. Another good one which I have to post elsewhere is http://www.militaryathlete.com/ . The guy from Mountain Athlete is behind it. He started off big...

Kinesiology is the scientific study of exercise. Although for years it was inappropriately named "Physical Education" and the application of science to exercise is a rather new topic. Particularly anaerobic exercise (it's hard to get rats to lift weights, as the joke goes). Disclaimer: Graduated...

I think the main problem with CF is Glassman himself. He's the anti-science, knows the One True Way, guy who seems to be the biggest problem people have with CF. That being said CF people are a lot like the HIT Jedi's of the 90s in their strict allegiance and loyalty to one training methodology...

It probably does. Congrats!

That's so weird. Last email I got from Ottawa a couple days ago stated: "Conversation with loading authority,  currently there is to many anglo for BMOQ. They have decided to ask all the student at RMC who could complete course in french. If there is enough to allow room for the few like...

I stumbled across this one while surfing for something totally unrelated. I thought maybe other people might find it interesting. There's an archive of back-issues. http://jsoupublic.socom.mil/publications/index.php

I will confirm the length of time it takes to go from PRes NCM -> Reg Force Officer. I started my process 2 Jan 08. I've been told I'm accepted and now awaiting which BMOQ I'll be on. I was told I'd find that out by the end of Feb. So anyday now. So don't delay, act today! :)

Good point. At first I was just going to post the initial 2. Then I thought maybe the other one might be of interest. I was thinking "big picture" enough. Thanks for heads up.
