I am going feb 20 at the MEGA( st.jean)

good day,  Just given the call after 389 days starting BMQ Feb 20. ;D ;D I was given a poet by-pass due to my 12 years of civvie work in R&D and field tech telecom  and a college diploma in electronics and am slated for QL3 in OCT.  I was pumped up( still am), now I am a little nervous not...

well, I cannot speak for the MP side of things, but for me just to get to BMQ( found out today, jan 31/06) has taken about 389 days, others on the forum have been much faster 4-6 months.  There is no set time from the point when you drop off your application to the time you start, everyone is...

yep, not as long as some but the waiting has been loads of fun :blotto:  I am sure that time will fly now until the 19th when I leave.

Great stuff, I am getting sworn in on the 10th.  Look for me, I'll be the large guy with the top Knot and funny robes ;)

just starting the "anyone going on this date" post.  Can't wait.  See you there cheers FITSUMO

"Fitsumo....your preaching to the choir here.And no I'm well over level 2 for the USMC standard,as are most other people on this board.If you wanna brag I know a couple of these guys here are fitness machines." ( from rcac_011) Sorry, my intention was not to brag, FAR FROM IT, I was trying to...

I was merit listed in OCT for FCS tech and I am still waiting, found out that my file was lost after I was selected which was great.  We might see each other at SQ. cheers

Ok, all this talk of fitness over the past few days gave me the idea to "test" myself against the other army( USMC, BRITS, US ARMY) standards, so on day one I did max PUs, situps, pullups on a 2 min time line plus a 2.4k run, and on day 2 I did the same but I did a 5k run( approx 3miles).  My...

For Kali Guru's in your area you might be stuck alittle.  Guru Jun De leon(SP?) is in Toronto, Bob Carver is in Ottawa, and Kru Mike is in kingston.  There are also quite of few JKD guys in toronto that have great kali skills.  You might have to do the old method, get some video tapes and a...
