    Why you will have to do mundane tasks during basic training

    Might be more appropriate for the radio chatter section... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKZRFDCbGTA I had a similar conversation as an OCdt with a MCpl while in basic, when I asked him (after the course was completed) "how bad our rooms really were":  "Your room will never be perfect, but...

    Wanted: Hip Belt for ALICE or Downeast 1606

    Started looking to upgrade the ruck a bit after hiking the West Coast Trail in BC and found my current hip belt didn't stop the ALICE frame from digging into the kidneys/hips: If someone had a spare they are willing to part with (not the small issued belt that comes with the ALICE packs), or...

    Opinions on Frames

    I've been playing around with a few different styles of rucksack as of late and a recent trip into the mountains got me to thinking about upgrading/modifying my current setup. I'm currently using a Warrior gear 5 pouch main bag, with the issued Olive Drab valise.  CP gear Molle panel and Straps...

    Renting a room in an assigned PMQ - looking for references.

    Came across an interesting ad this evening, with a member advertising a room for rent in a PMQ (for roughly a few hundred less then the member is likely paying for it - though it is a moot point).  This sets off some alarm bells to me, was curious if anyone could shed some light on the topic...

    Temp military housing in Esquimalt?

    Currently posted out to Gagetown, wanted to take some vacation time in Victoria. I know there are options to rent out rooms on a temporary basis here and in Halifax: is there anything similar out in Esquimalt (and a number to reach them?). Thanks in Advance.

    Some advice for potential candidates

    It's been mentioned many times by those with more experience then I have, but I wanted to toss out a few insights I'd picked up from my first six months in that I certainly didn't know walking through the doors of St.Jean. I'm part way through phase three of my training (Infantry Officer) and...

    Medical Coverage Question - Is a provincal health card still required?

    Hello everyone - I'm somewhat confused as to the information I have received from two sources, hoping someone can clarify or point me in the direction for clarification. I've taken a look using the search but did not find this particular situation addressed. I've just had my enrollment date...

    Rock climbing facilities on Base

    Might be listed in the wrong section, Mods feel free to move if needed. I am aware both Petawawa and Edmonton have Rock Climbing walls in their respective bases, I was simply curious if anyone else knows of others across Canada. I've been an avid climber for 5 years and it is one of the things...

    Anyone know of any Canadian Military member's Blogs?

    So, I recently found "Stranger in a strange land" by someone on this site - found it quite interesting and was curious if anyone knew of any others?
