I will also be doing CAP in Aldershot this summer, along with 2 other guys here from RMC. How is everyone finding their way to Aldershot? Some of us got flights, but i personally will be driving the 17 hours from Kingston. Does anyone know what would be a good cheap place to stay for one night...

Either these standards are outdated, or they have been changed. I did the course as an army cadet in summer 2005. The standards were 7 chin ups, 1.6 kilometers in 7 minutes 30 seconds, and 32 sit-ups.

Just don't hurt yourself. But otherwise, they will recourse you for next summer. If you hurt yourself on your first two phases of summer training i.e. IAP and BOTP, you will probably end up in the Personnel Awaiting Training (PAT) Platoon. PAT platoon is basically lackeys. They clean lounges and...

There is a little bit of truth to IAP being less than 9 weeks, but this is a "special" case for "special" people.  ;D Something new is being trialed with the people that have finished Prep year at Campus Fort St. Jean. We learned alot of the stuff they teach on IAP here during the regular year...

Flight of the Valkyries, nothing beats that.

Ok, theoretically, they give you C7s. Whats next? You'll ask for grenades. If they give that to u, then you'll want to be issued tac vests an cadpat to hold your stuff. If they gave you that, you will start asking to play with vehicles. If they keep on giving, you will keep on asking. Pretty...

Exactly. As for Armyboi, first of all, I appreciate it but there is no need for the formality of "sir" in here, we're on an equal footing. The average Joe off the street will not bother checking what organization a cadet on the street is, and will most likely complain to his local MP about...

Why? So we can confuse the public even more to the point that they think little cadet private Tommy marching down Yonge street on Santa Claus Parade will get sent to war? I think the Lee-Enfields are quite enough. We should be thankful that it hasn't been taken away yet. Don't get me wrong, I...

I think I remember something about members are not to be members of any Political party as must show that we are obedient of the party in power no matter our politics. I'm not sure if volunteering would count as that though. From seeing the Sympatico MSN news section, the election will be...

I've never been called a Zipperhead in the context of my ethnicity. But either way, I am proud to be both. Even the short part...we aren't too bad lookin' though if you look hard enough. James Blunt...heard his "Beautiful" song so many damn times on the radio it makes my eardrums bleed. Not to...

Hey, if you were the "token asian college kid" not invited to a FPS bash, you'd be too.  ;)

lol, awesome...BOOOOOOM HEADSHOT! the new fad going on here is Battlefield 2.

I'm guessing this is pretty much what wednesday night is... http://media.putfile.com/PurePwnage-MeetFPSDoug

How bout that mods? Is that an acceptable compromise? I think its an OK idea. :-[ aww, buggers So does that mean there is a chance for myself to try for the Para course again? Would it be in the five years while I'm at RMC or in between? I would definately love some info on that if...

kcdist, I found your post absolutely, positively, undoubtedly true. I kinda found that out the hard way too when I arrived at where I am now. But that's ok, I'll know what not to say for next year. But yes, they still do have cadets jump out of CC130s. I believe the course that just happened...

Guys, we're not going to win this one. There's no point in arguing with them, we're on their turf. It's not even THAT big a deal anyways. Doesn't mean we can't still be proud. We'll just replace the word with another of ours. It's no matter. Man...Davidson's doing his jumps? I wish I could get...

This someone from our course Arnie?

Relax bud. We know we arn't AIRBORNE, its just a term we use to greet eachother and acknowledge mutual accomplishments. Also, its makes a bit of sense as we all had the word grounded into our heads by the staff. "Adopt the push up position GO"..."AIRBORNE"...1.2.3..."RECOVER" "AIRBORNE"..."any...

1) Yes, there are a handful that I have seen at Kingston. Here in Prep year in St. Jean sur Richelieu, Quebec, I am the only one. But the number of visible minorities should not really matter as everyone treats everyone the same regardless of ethnicity, religion, etc...Well...actually its a...

Anyways, back on topic...Well Mr. Cheung, if you would like a set of webbing, I will consider selling you mine. I'm no longer in cadets and I just got a new set issued to me. My old set that i retained from cadets is in good condition (except the butt pack, there's a small hole melted into the...
