My wifes cousins fiancé is on pat/ojt in Greenwood. Same situation as me. If I get loaded onto course quickly my wife is going to move up with me, but if I end up on pat I'll search for a 4 leaf clover and put in a memo. Xmas is around the corner and I have 14 days of leave accrued so if worse...

Ive been told that since I live 30 mins from greenwood and I own a home plus my wife and kids are there I may stand a better chance... Plus the warrant officer who heads up the avs techs is the hubby of a friend of mine. The least I can do is put in the memo, it can't hurt

Do you happen to know if I end up on PAT if i'm there for any amount of time if I can apply for ojt at a base near my home, and if so what are the chances of getting it?

hey all I'm 3 weeks from graduating bmq but haven't heard about the next avs tech course at all. Does anyone know when it starts? Poet comes first I'm sure and some people tell me that common core is part of my training but I'm sure that avs doesn't take it because we have poet. Thanks a...

Rumor mill has it here in Saint Jean that BMQ is going to change to a 10 week course.Some of the staff have been talking about this but no one has confirmed anything for sure.Is there any truth to this?

Here's the way I see it : Go to Dell and get a decent laptop. Great prices, great range and reasonable customization. Snag an extra year warranty on it for a total of 2years worth of warranty. Try tweaking Vista, to be honest it's getting more of a bad rap then it should be. I run Vista64...

If you're just looking for general usage and a bit of gaming stick with a Windows based laptop. Macs are now just PC parts that are bios/os locked components and severely jacked up in price. In reality, anything you can do with a Mac you can do with a PC, but it's not the same in reverse. A...

If you snag a Dell find someone else with a Dell Windows XP disc, it'll install with no key without an issue because the motherboard tells Windows that it's a Dell system and because you're using a Dell OEM disc you'll never need a key. It's what I had to do with my current rig for a duel boot...

Yeah, I'd definitely wait on the bantruptcy bit as the Forces will overlook quite a bit to get people in. Mainly it's a slew of collections agencies that are drooling to get your into court and as previously mentioned, Im pretty sure filing for bankruptcy will hold you back as you have to be...

1 - Its never a waste of time to inquire about a possible career. 2 - As long as you dont have a plethoria of collections agencies crawling out of the woodwork you should be good to go. I have an extreme amount of debt but I dont have anything owing to collections and they let me in. I'd ask...

Dont stress over it...you can write one now but tehy'll want to see one written in BMQ also. Im pretty sure that tehy put that in the info packet to keep you busy and your mind off of other things ;) So is anyone else swearing in in Halifax tomorrow, July 19th? If so see you there. Check my...

I have a friend who's instructors let him take a small discrete MP3 player on the ruck marches that are for exercise (not on an exercise though). And drink that water. I've seen a person who didn't like the taste of the water from the canteen not drink squat on a 8km ruck march in the dead heat...

With 2 kids in the house, 1 being a new baby...not much in the past few weeks :( But I have gotten rid of my crappy ankle/shin pain issue (more or less) and Im ecstatic! I may not be up to snuff now but I sure as hell will be soon.

Pot is just the new alcohol nowadays. Sooner or later it'll be legalized. Cocaine is the new pot :( So rampant everywhere it's a shame.

lol. Im actually looking forward to BMQ in some ways. I did Basic Battleschool back in the day, and from what Ive been told alot of its been changed to be much much easier. And yeah, there are awards. Not sure if I'll get any but oh well.

lmao Med...so so true. I can run a bit more than a KM, do 18-19 pushups, the situps and teh griptest. May not be good enough to pass but I can poop gold!

Ive been able to crack up to 19 pushups, but thats stressing it lol. Situps Ican do as well as the grip test. If you fail 2 strength components but pass the beep test you move forward into BMQ and are tested later. By that time you should have no reasons to fail the retest. Unless you suck and...

You won't need a PI license to figure that one out  ;D

Im hoping that I found the answer to the pain Ive been having in my ankles / lower calves...good old arch supports. Did about a 3km hard walk with 30ish pounds on my back and hand weights, was awesome. I picked up the pace trying to induce the pain and diddly squat, then I ran with it on my...

I was looking for info on the West Nova Scotia Regiment and found this...it's hard to believe it's been a bit over a year since this happened. I still think about the few aquaintances, comrades and friends whose lives I've seen lost overseas. Met Chris a few times in and out of uniform, was a...
