For those of you who have spanked the monkey, my best trap speed is 383 m.p.h. For those of you who HAVENT spanked the monkey, please try to disregard my last statement, as you really had to be there.

Hey arclite, I'm an FCS tech awaiting training in PRETC, what dates do you have for your courses? Or do you have yours yet? I leave for SQ on May 24, back July 15, and leave for POET a month later to come back on March 3, 2006. If it makes you feel any better, I dont have a course date for my...

Will you wonder what you're doing and want to quit? Yes, every time you talk to your crying girlfriend. ;) Seriously, I wondered what I was doing for almost the entire course, but I kept my head up, now I can see the light. The hardest part for some people is the loved ones they left at home...

Jenn, I am in the situation that you and your boyfriend could be in after he is done basic- I am at CFB Borden awaiting training. Here's some pointers that you might find helpful; When your boyfriend leaves for Basic you need to remember that he will go through some tough times where he will...

Well, I'm the other end of the spectrum, Im FCS and starting off, still awaiting SQ. For you experienced guys out there, I've got a bunch of questions if you have the patience to answer them... Any idea where I can expect to be posted? I'd like to stay in the Barrie/Borden area after my...

Well, I'm an FCS Tech in Borden right now, and Ive been here for 3 weeks and dont have my EME cap badge. As a matter of fact, my roommate has been here for about 5 months still doesnt have his cap badge, so I think it has something to do with finishing courses. I dont know yet, but when I do, I...

Just graduated from basic a little while ago, and we had a Master Seaman (not sure if I can say his name...) who was the king of jacking us up for inspection. One memorable morning inspection, I was section senior following him while he did his inspections, taking notes. MS (looking at the...

Hey everybody, Just thought I'd extend a thank you to everyone on this board, as I leave for St. Jean tomorrow morning.  I cant show enough appreciation for all the info and encouragement Ive gotten on this board, and I promise to hold up my end of the deal and post when I can to help out those...

I had asthma as a kid, and I made it in. P.S. use the spell check button. A messy post is a sure way to not get the answers you are looking for.

I gotta say, the first thing that sprung to my mind after reading your first post was what about the reserves? I don't know how you feel about  the reserves, but it might be the best way to get the best of both worlds in your situation.

If I hadn't joined the Canadian Forces, I would have been Hugh Hefner.

Yup, those are the ones I'm talking about. Get some, they are awesome.

You start basic on Feb 2nd? I start on the 1st. It sounds as though its probably the same course, so I'll see you there!

I agree; go do the aptitude test, and then take it from there. I commend you for your courage to post such a personal letter, and I understand how you feel about needing advice about your situation. I didn't go through what you have been through, but I definitely had a hard time telling my mom...

LOL!!!! That's awesome! The coolest thing about that...thing, is that anyone with a knowledge of tracked vehicles and welding could build one.                                             >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

I had this problem once, and I started using a face lotion before I shaved, and it helped. If you go to a grocery store, in the shaving section you might be able to find it. It's called "Lectric Shave" and it's like a lubricant for your face that you put on before you put on the shaving cream...

If someone can tell me how to, I can post a cool picture of this. I agree. It's really something amazing to see.

        :o :o :o :o :o I've been in Regina for 22 years. The only good thing about January here is all the stuff you got in December. P.S. feel free to PM me if there's anything you want to know before you come here. I might be able to answer some questions for ya ;)

I don't want to break the news to you, but you almost definitely wont be going to basic in Feb. My interview was in August of last year, and I placed highly in all of my testing. On the other hand, about 3 months of that was eaten up by my medical file going back and forth from Borden, regarding...

I would, but If I understand what you've written, any serving citizens aren't allowed to sign a petition, and I leave for basic in just over a month. If this could be organized quickly, I would definitely be interested in collecting a petition. PM me (or e-mail, mrosseker@hotmail.com) if you...
