    Irritations of this Season of Peace

    It has even hit our army, why has Christmas Dinner been changed to SEASONAL Dinner? Honestly, too much.

    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    For practical means, hair being short and off the collar is much more comfortable when it is very hot/humid outside...keeps you MUCH cooler, but conversely in the winter there is less insulation of the head :P Leniency during the winter months make sense I suppose.

    Changes, needed fixes in Cadets (merged)

    First off, I have absolutely no problem with cadets. IMHO, what better program to encourage young, eager individuals to join the military while having them do something productive/keep them out of trouble. Even having them gain the basic military knowledge on top of it all (drill, NAV, basic...

    How to lose weight in a healthy way (merged)

    Hmm I have always wondered, drinking coffee and having caffeinated no-sugar products actually detrimental to your diet? Does it actually spike insulin levels inhibiting weight loss? Always heard conflicting things...

    Christmas is coming, post gift ideas here.

    Honestly, take a look into the medicine cabinet or wherever she keeps her beauty products. Take note of specific perfumes and stuff she regularly uses and buy that. You can't go wrong. Or if she constantly wears a certain perfume, buy her the hand cream or something from that scent. Good luck.

    I *will* get flamed, but it's worth it. - PT Test

    AD what trade are you going for? If you are trying to just barely reach the 'female' minimum you're going to be in a lot of hurt on course. You see the "men's" standard for the run? That's what you should aim to attain at the very least. You run as a group. Check out paracowboy's threads on...

    I *will* get flamed, but it's worth it. - PT Test

    Instead of solidly pumping of 20 push-ups at a time and finding it easy, you need to increase it to at least 25. To replicate what you will experience on course, slow the push-ups down and hold it at different heights from the ground - quarter down, halfway up etc. and do that 'till you reach at...

    Not Just Another poll...

    If you keep your socks/tshirts/underwear in the same spot in your ruck every time (even separately packaged) you pack for the field, no need to root around...throw your hand in and it should be in the same spot it always is.

    join at 17?

    Yes, armyguy is right on. Different people mature at different rates and it is up to you to decide if you are mentally, emotionally etc. ready for the military lifestyle. I too went through basic at a young age without a problem at all, actually completing almost all of it before hitting 17...

    Training more than one weekend a month - confused.

    I bet this g/f isn't even going to be an issue for you in the future man, then you will regret not joining the regs, if that is what you really want to do. Stop being such a puppet  :P Plus in the reserves after (and actually during your courses too) you come in during parade nights which are...

    Tips on how to become a recruit

    You have absolutely no basis for that sexist generalization. I have met a few females in particular on a recent course that displayed the worst attitude and lack of motivation I have ever seen in my life. Were they sent home? Sorry can't do that.  ::) I hear jokes about a female quota but come...

    This Summer's SQ+BIQ at the Meaf!

    I suggest splitting a cottage at Sauble Beach in Wasaga. Between 8 people, the cost is like 20$ for the weekend... buy some cheap beer like Bohemian and you're set! Lots of people that hang out on the beach and in the neighbouring cottages so you will have a good time for sure. Thats what I did...

    The Merged Thread on Gay/ Homosexual Topics and the CF.

    I remember something about certain legal, financial implications that limits couples from certain things who are not binded by marriage. Although I am not sure what it specifically is.

    There is no such thing as the "run-of-the-mill" infantry in the CF. Everyone is a SuperEliteNinjaCommando  :D The marines/seals have nothing on us.
