It may be a US Air Force video, but it rings so true for the CF as well.

Is that really a US AirForce recruiting commercial

The tag right under the video says spoof.

Yup the big secret is out now

Looks like a realistic/accurate portrayal to me...

Any time somone asks me what my job (In the reserves at least) is like, I ask if they've seen Full Metal Jacket... when they say yes, I say forget what you've seen and go watch In the Army Now.

If as a Pte, you never push a broom, or drag a mop...then you are not really in the military.

 

[chrisf]

I particularly liked the safety goggles...

 

[armyrules]

Loved the urine sample the guy recieving it looked so pleased Pretty good!

 

[Phillman]

It also looked like he needs to drink more water.

 

[GO!!!]

It's funny cuz it's true!

 

[JSR OP]

About the only other thing they could have put in there was sitting around the Flight room, drinking coffee  with a thumb up their Behind... or is that only a JSR thing... ???

 

[boots]

hmmm.... I actually like sweeping floors

 

[career_radio-checker]

ah crap man I'm only dust pan qualified. My Tasking Sgt won't send me on my QL5 broom course until I finish my ojt. Another 6 months tops he says. Bo-yah!!!!

 

[blueboy]

I thought it was funny as it brought back memories of when I was a Pte.

 

[Armymedic]

OK stop pm'ing me to see if this is true...

it is.

You are expected to clean your living and work spaces during BMQ etc, and clean them the the proverbial white glove standard. After all, when you join the army...mom usually stays home. There is a reason for that...

everything you use in the military, you will clean. Thats what Ptes do.

if you don't like that...
