I went over what I'm doing higher up in the thread. Basically, lots of interval running, situps and pushups, resistance training, and other cardio on my "no run" days. I'm working on improving my endurance during running, but it has not been easy. I find jogging a certain distance tires me out...

Toby, contact your file manager about your travel. When I got my offer, he asked me if I planned to drive there. I am driving from Ottawa. If I didn't have a car, I assume they would have probably put me on a bus or train (cheaper than flying from here). I have no idea if they book your travel...

Tyler - Young at heart  ;D Hodgson - I have it. I can email it to you. I'll look through the thread for your email address, if it's not  here, just send me a pm. If anyone else wants a copy, let me know.

LOL speaking of outsiders, I feel like I'm the only recruit that's not Infantry.  All of you in your 20s are making me feel old! I'll be turning 33 in March. 3 weeks now. I'm starting to get really nervous excited!

Thanks Guy Incognito! I will happily go where ever they send me. However, my spouse is also a member of the CF, and posted to Ottawa. I'm crossing my fingers for somewhere in Ontario for sure  :)

My file manager told me when they called with my job offer. I imagine they'll let you know during your swearing in. You'll need to know it for the cover page of your Autobiography, and for your mailing address, so letters from home will make it to you.  :)

I'm actually not all that nervous about the EXPRES test! What I'm nervous about is 5k runs. No matter what though, I will not give up. I will run until I throw up, and then I will run some more. Mind over matter. :nod: Tyler, what platoon are you on? I'm on 0436.

Thanks GMK! I was just about to ask this very question. I'm scheduled to graduate BMQ on May 10, so it looks like I'll miss this one by a couple of weeks. Do you happen to know where the majority of recruits are sent, while they're waiting to start their QL3? I'm from Ottawa, and hoping for...

In an effort to lose weight, but save my knees, I worked out on the Elliptical or went cycling for months. I just started running in the fall, and then I got the call in December, so now I'm in panic mode!! I run intervals, usually on the treadmill, because it's too sloppy outside lately. I do...

I keep a pretty low profile on fb, but I may add you guys as the date draws nearer.  :nod: Hard to believe it all starts in a month!

Thanks for your replies. I really appreciate it! Hubs and I are going to go to SHHO this afternoon and get a letter, to be on the safe side. I am going to draft an Autobiography before I go, as that's what the joining instructions say to do. If I was the only one that showed up without one...

I am also Feb 6. AC Op, recruited out of Ottawa. Can't wait to meet you all.

Hello, I did do a search, but didn't find the information that I need clarified. I also tried to contact my file manager, but he is out of town for the next couple of weeks. For the copy of my lease that I will turn in at Basic, it is in my spouse's name (who is also a member). The lease does...
