I am going feb 20 at the MEGA( st.jean)

good day,  Just given the call after 389 days starting BMQ Feb 20. ;D ;D I was given a poet by-pass due to my 12 years of civvie work in R&D and field tech telecom  and a college diploma in electronics and am slated for QL3 in OCT.  I was pumped up( still am), now I am a little nervous not...

well, I cannot speak for the MP side of things, but for me just to get to BMQ( found out today, jan 31/06) has taken about 389 days, others on the forum have been much faster 4-6 months.  There is no set time from the point when you drop off your application to the time you start, everyone is...

yep, not as long as some but the waiting has been loads of fun :blotto:  I am sure that time will fly now until the 19th when I leave.

Great stuff, I am getting sworn in on the 10th.  Look for me, I'll be the large guy with the top Knot and funny robes ;)

just starting the "anyone going on this date" post.  Can't wait.  See you there cheers FITSUMO

"Fitsumo....your preaching to the choir here.And no I'm well over level 2 for the USMC standard,as are most other people on this board.If you wanna brag I know a couple of these guys here are fitness machines." ( from rcac_011) Sorry, my intention was not to brag, FAR FROM IT, I was trying to...

I was merit listed in OCT for FCS tech and I am still waiting, found out that my file was lost after I was selected which was great.  We might see each other at SQ. cheers

Ok, all this talk of fitness over the past few days gave me the idea to "test" myself against the other army( USMC, BRITS, US ARMY) standards, so on day one I did max PUs, situps, pullups on a 2 min time line plus a 2.4k run, and on day 2 I did the same but I did a 5k run( approx 3miles).  My...

For Kali Guru's in your area you might be stuck alittle.  Guru Jun De leon(SP?) is in Toronto, Bob Carver is in Ottawa, and Kru Mike is in kingston.  There are also quite of few JKD guys in toronto that have great kali skills.  You might have to do the old method, get some video tapes and a...

As an outsider( for now, soon to be a member) looking in, I am saddened to hear about this lack of will to do PT( by some members), be it directed from your leadership or personally driven.  In my civvie job I work 10-16 hours a day 5-6 days a week, while working these hours I have found time to...

right now, for training and easy listening I have a nice  medley of acid drinkers, slayer, metallica, carcariass, skinlab, primer 55, coal chamber, lamb of god, dry kill logic and hatebreed.  Bone snapping metal that whips me up, and when its done I have to pick my teeth off the floor ;D

Just looking to see if there are other FCS techs( wannabes) that have been selected and are still waiting for an offer.  ??? cheers FITSUMO

I have gone from 310 to 240, it has been a long haul and it is no where near finished.  What helped me, first off portion control, then eating 5 small meals a day, no pop, whole grains only.  I set a goal for my self, in my case doing a Olympic and 1/2 iron distance TRI( now focus is on interval...

meeting again at 9am at all saints this week will be shorter workout, with some ruck training( very little, will build), sprints, chins, pulls, pushups, curls, air squats, air lunges, etc.  We will be doing things like run 200 m do 20 PU run 200m do 20 jumping jacks, repeat for a total of 800...

we will meet most sat at around 9, mix of weights and running.  At this point there is no redneck sumo, others can help you with that if the interest should arise( scary).  Hope to see you some week in the near future. cheers FITSUMO
