I'll be there on the 14th, but I dont think it officially starts until the 16th. I'm going for Boatswain. Can't wait!

-Skeletor-, Thanks for the links. I'm not exactly sure who said that but I think I remember reading it on the SEALSWCC forum. With respect, Mike92

Goodeman, Just my opinion, but that would seem like one of the best places to volunteer with. Especially in terms of references.

That makes more sense. Where did you find this info? Thanks.

MJP, You are probably right, I do tend to over-analyze these things WAY too much :facepalm:. Journeyman, Careful, LOL.  You never know who ( :threat:) is watching ;) fraserdw, Yeah, because the JTF2 tests also include bench press which is a test of muscular strength as opposed to muscular...

Hey everyone, I was looking on the RMC website under the fitness test and one must be able to do 77 pushups to get the highest level possible. OK, that makes sense, but then I came across the JTF2 level 7 (maximum) standard and it's 55 pushups. ??? I would think that the requirements for...

-Skeletor-, I agree 100%. I've also been looking at some conventional college courses such as Blasting and Health and Fitness Promotion. Thanks for all the good (read: excellent) advice... yet again, LOL. forums.army.ca= best site on the internet/top of my favourites list  :) With respect...

Reaper-1, I thought about that for a while but i agree with Towards_the_gap because I wouldn't want to join up unless I was really keen on that trade. The recruiter said that the Combat Engineer trade was closed when I talked to him. -Skeletor-, I have cancelled my old application for the...

Thanks everyone for the awesome advice. You guys brought up stuff I never really thought of. I was in the Cadets for 6+ years and I have volunteered with the Salvation Army so I'm hoping that will help me. Reaper-1, although Combat Engineer, along with Artillery are both interesting, Infantry...

Hey everyone, As most of you know, Infantry is closed/not hiring at the moment  :crybaby:  :rage: and this is the trade I am most interested in. I was told by a recruiter that at the beginning of the new fiscal year (April 1) the new information as to how many new recruits they need will be...

Hey GT, I'm in a similar position as you. I'm in my first year of university and I want to go Infantry (NCM). I'm useing university A) to make myself a better candidate for recruitment and B) as a backup plan incase the Army isn't for me or I suffer a career-ending injury. What are you taking...

It looks like a really good program. I would follow it but I'm on another program which is turning out to be pretty good. I am currently following Midwestfit.com (WFS) and I'm sore for 2-4 days after each strength session. There is also running 3-4 days a week incorporated. One thing about the...

Greetings, I hope this is the right place to post this. I am trying to find the unit/regiment a friend of my family was in. I have never actually spoken to him about it but I have heard some things from my parents who have talked to him. This is all I've heard. He was in a reserve unit in...
