You're in Shilo this summer too, eh...sounds like a lot of people are going this year. I'm there for four months this summer as GD...see you there. Joining 709 eh? Welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll enjoy the unit- there's a great bunch of people here. Don't worry about being the oldest guy...

RIP My condolences to the family and friends of the fallen.

Yup.

From the same link: Wow. Just...wow.

If that's the only reason why you're joining...don't join.

I went on ex there last year, it's a pretty good go. I think they had a bus going to Louisville at the end of the ex, I never went cause remember the drinking age down there is 21. Not sure how far away it was from the base.

Me too!  ;D

According to the AAG we had at the beginning of the year, there is no longer a list of scheduled countries WRT travel, but now if you intend to travel to ANY country outside the United States or Mexico, you have to fill out a 'Notification of Intent to Travel' form (or something like that) and...

Nope :) It would be nice to have it to reg force standards, but my BMQ and SQ were 4 weeks each, same as in the militia, and as far as I know nothing has changed.

Sorry to contradict you, but the Comm Res runs its own recruit school during the summer in beautiful, sunny Shilo. 

Mojo, What JSR op was talking about was getting a posting after completion of training. You are going to Kingston for your QL3 course, (ahem, Sig Op Apprentice course) at CFSCE. JSR (the Joint Signals Regiment) is something different. You can choose to be posted there on completion of your...

Yeah, with HF, instead of being a "ooooh, I can fly," it's more of a "mmm...I smell barbecue!"  ;D

^+1 to that. I hate seeing stores that start bringing out Christmas stuff Thanksgiving weekend. I also hate that "Happy Holidays" thing. I wouldn't be offended if someone said "Happy Hannukah" to me, I'd think it was pretty cool that someone was celebrating a different holiday. Why should...

I'm not involved with the course but my unit's in the armoury, the instructors are a mix from all the 32 Bde units.

Thanks for the replies, off to clothing stores I go then.  :)

Wow. :o That'd be awesome. Could I do that even though I'm just a reservist? Also, does anyone know of any non-issue gloves that come in little sizes? Trying to find a pair of black female work gloves is freakin' hard...it's like they think females don't work. :D Thanks again.

I was just about to say the same thing! Surprisingly (or not) the Line Milcot seems to have retained its cup-holders. Besides, I've always managed to hold my own coffee while driving, except maybe when making sharp turns, and that's where your co-driver comes in. Driving with a Tims should be...

Well you know Des, nothing's stopping you from stuffing a soccer ball down your pants and running down your street. ;)

Hey everyone, I'm a female with very tiny hands, and have a hard time finding issue gloves that fit. (Even the CADPAT x-small gloves are too big for me.) Only the DEU gloves fit, and those would obviously fall apart in the field. Does anyone know of any gloves out there that would be small...

^^ :rofl: That's AWESOME.
