I'd taken that!
A hole is a fire trench on a bald ass hill in Wainwright (or the Mattawa, or Gagetown), in Februrary, after the tenth day, and it never climbed above
-25c once during that time.

There is worse but the above has a tendency to recur... frequently.

   

Laconfir i'm in the same boat as you are, i'm gonna graduate soon and i need to think about what i want to do, i've always wanted to play college hockey hopefully at the university of Saskatchewan where I got lots of family, but i was thinking about either joining the Canadian Navy or to be a fireman. I'd appreciate any suggestions

   

I always thought about joining the Navy. Anybody serve on a Canadian destroyer and what are the conditions like on it?

   

Has any one been to RMC? Im thinking of going there but I have yet to make up my mind. I want to join the reserves to see if the army is the way i want to go. Any one with some suggestions or helpful info?

   

Im going to join the Reserves the summer after I finish grade 10. Is there any special requirements you have to meet to get into officers school?

   

Holy crap your only in grade 10?? Sheesh. Anyways, dont you need a high school diploma or something like that?

   

I'm actually only in grade 9. You need to have your grade 10 education to join the reserves.

   

Reserves. Good job. I was thinking of going that route (I am in grade 11) but then I decided not to because of the fact that there are no reserve air units nearby...

But yeah to be an officer in the reserves its the same standards as in the regs, post-secondary education. But I think you can go to college and take officer's course at the same time...and you might be able to work out a deal with them paying for your education.

   

Join the winning team. The US military has better equipment. And you are a guranteed a war during your service instead of playing cards all day in a barn in the artic. But still repect your decision. Anything is better than being a burnt out hippie.

   

You are soooo full of it... good for a good laugh.

   

What im woundering is how hard is the boot camp like physically.. Im not fat by anymeans but im not exactly in shape. Do I stand a chance or should i make sure im in tip top shape before i try. I wanna go full time. any suggestions????

   

Running, sit ups, pull ups, chin ups. There is a minimum fitness standard, but to survive basic you'll need to be able to do at least twice as many push ups and situps as you are required too.

Currently, you don't need to pass a fitness test to get in, but as soon as you arrive you need to pass it. If you fail you go to the remedial squad (fat squad) to get you fit. if you don't pass within a certain time period, you are discharged.

As soon as your in basic I've been told you do push ups for all sorts of things. I'm looking forward to it myself.

   

It's pussy shit that any kid could do once upon a time. I went through basic in 1984 and then it was a mile and a half in under 12 minutes(this is a really slow jog, and I had no problem doing it in . I had a more strenuous regime in highschool football.

Here is the one exception:

The year I was in basic, the PERI staff introduced aerobics. Mistakenly, I thought pfffft girlie stuff set to music. Our PERI, a Cpl. Byron was in some team that did this crap competitively (yeah we all thought major homo too) and after the first time, most of us were laying in a pool of sweat twitching. Give me circuit training any day!

I can still do amile and a half in under 12 minutes easily......just using four wheels rather than two legs now. At the time I thought, I'm in the navy, where the hell would I be required to run anywhere for a mile and a half'? This is a time you don't want to ask, 'what would Jesus do?'



oh, nice necro by the way.

   

I was wondering about the necro.

anyways, apparently the fitness portion of basic is run by civilians now. I have to admit I'm not fond of the idea.

   

Well shit i pretty much have got my mind made up to joing the CF like in the next few weeks then. Can you guys gimme and advice at all. Suggrestions/ Comments! How is it mentally???? when your done are u still somewhat the same person
