Granted, but it's worth it. The recruiter today told me it's a good idea, so I'm just throwing it out there. Other platoons should note the idea!  ;)

Swore in today, got my package, good to go! Gearing up for July 5th!  :cdnsalute: I'm thinking that all enrolling for the 5th should wait to buy that second pair of the shave kit, as we can all hit the CANEX and grab the same stuff to really make an impression on the PO's. Working together to...

Thanks for the response smitty, much appreciated.

Rick, that's a solid way of motivating yourself! I bet you can make the entire deck before the end of the month. For me, music (rage, audioslave, rise against whatever floats your boat) with a good beat is a great way to keep yourself at a good tempo. I find it keeps me from psyching myself...

My background is WASP, only without the P. I like to jam to Jimi, read and write politics, and play hard. Generally speaking, I keep it real, fit, and in the know. Driving out of Toronto on the 5th if anyone wants to hitch.

Looks like it really depends on your PO's. Granted.

Right on, when we get there, I'll look for the cat in the hat. Might want to inquire ASAP about the switch from PPCLI to RCR, as bureaucracies never work in your favour with regard to time.

Sorry George, just looking for a one liner yes or no to both the questions. I'll look it up myself.

Yeah it seems to be a bit better, less socializing, more core stuff. Mack, I'm starting July 6th. GO PENS GO

Cool. Have you checked out the "Basic Up" documentary series online? If not, check it out and prep yourself for the next thirteen weeks. http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/LF/english/1_10_8.asp?FlashEnabled=-1& Keep it real,

Yeah, I was impressed with the speed too. I'm apparently in the RCR. Not sure what battalion. Hopefully 3rd as they deploy next year, so I can make it out before the Parliament mandated "withdrawal" in 2011. Good luck to you brother, keep your head up! P

Any vets know if were allowed to take books along with us? Or if there's personal (laptop) internet access after the first four weeks? I know we're tight on time, but I have a few essential books and materials I like to reference every once in a while, pretty key. Lemme know, P

Infantry, RCR, don't know which battalion yet. Have you received your info package yet?   Can't believe Obama ordered him to shave his head! GOLDEN!

About 4months. Handed in my application early March, getting sworn in on the 16th.

Damn, I've heard Farnham is bad too. They are attracted to your breath and dark colours, so keep close to the fattest person in your platoon and you should be fine!

July 6th BMQ, where my dawgs!? Anyone else watching Stephen Colbert in Iraq?

Haha I wish! I've been placed in the Saint-Jean Mega. Getting more excited by the day!

July 6th BMQ, Infantry. I'll see you there! Stay frosty till then!
