has anyone been given a copy of the army fitness manual to follow?????
Sig_Des said:that being said, I was glad after a year and a half app process to finally get into the forces...
Sig_Des said:by the time people finally get the call to go to a basic, they are either too tired of the BS, or no longer interested in the Military, and we are then losing potential candidates.
Sig_Des said:I'm not whining, I toughed it out, shelled out my own money, and didn't bother trying to get reimbursed..
the point being made, is that we as an armed forces are trying to enroll people, but putting them through a red tape process that works more like a meat grinder...

I was lucky, I could afford to pay that cash to APPLY. what about people who can't?
FatwogCpl said:Funny how the military spends tons of money and man hours in demonstration teams, bands,tattoo's etc. to entice people into joining the military, but then won't fork out the cash to pay for someones PT retest. Sounds a little backwards to me.

Is this a CFRC Calgary policy, or a mistake on the training facility? If it turns out I owe someone money, I have no problem paying.
