tuyop posted:I'm getting the feeling that officer PAT in the infantry school in Gagetown is very different from NCM PAT at other bases. I hear on officer PAT they make you range officer and give you duties that arnt retarded. PAT for NCM was like babysitting till we got on course. MA-Horus posted:In Pet you were reasonably close to Ottawa. And there were at least a FEW things to do in Pet itself. I took a Motorcycle Mechanic course on the east coast and my instructor was from Owen Sound, my first words out of my mouth was The Harb and he shuttered. gently caress Meaford, I have a friend posted there now who I was on DP1 with and he loves it. I guess he is in stores or something. Fraser CDN fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Dec 24, 2011 |

I seem to be the only one who liked the GP boots. I wasnt too big on my gortex boots but I loved my GP's. In my short time in I put enough miles on them that they had almost no tread.

Dont trust forces.ca. Just call the recruiting center and ask. Alot of the stuff on that site is wrong or was wrong last time I checked.

Red Beaver posted:I remember a briefing listing "makes jokes about doing drugs" as a warning sign that a subordinate may be doing drugs. Indeed. When I was in Meaford in 08/09 we had to carry our coffee cups by the lid in the left hand and we still had to march with the right arm. It looked loving ridiculous.

My Spirit Otter posted:Were you in training, if so that's why. Normally basses don't have standards for trivial poo poo like that Yeah Meaford is an Infantry training base, but it was for everyone. We always use to get a empty cup and put a lid on it so we didnt have to march. Fraser CDN fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jan 19, 2012 |

Red Beaver posted:I was corrected today in Halifax. Coffee mugs are to be carried by the lid with the arm straight to the side! Even while not marching. I haven't seen that in the routine orders so I'm not sure if its BS or not but its up there with not being allowed to wear backpacks in absurdity. I thought no one gave a gently caress in Air Force/ Navy bases?

http://m.ctv.ca/topstories/20110630/afghanistan-kandahar-brain-injuires-ptsd-110705.html Article about one of the staff from Meaford. If you were in Meaford from 2007+ you probably remember this guy. This also explains a lot about why he was such an rear end in a top hat. He use to throw dress shirts into fans, parade boots into walls or carve his initials into parade boots. He boot hosed quite my locker one day cause he was so pissed.

My brother gave me a ring yesterday telling me all the fun he had. I guess whistling at the Northern Lights is bad? Some of his guys lost stuff, got diesel in the eye and other crappy stuff mere hours after whistling at them.My Spirit Otter posted:Ask how many times they had to call recovery, please He said too many times. In the LAV's on Ice video his is the one broken down. Fraser CDN fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Mar 4, 2012 |

Toughen your feet as much as you can. If you take the bus any where try walking it. Just walk as much as you can.

Frosted Flake posted:What kind of runs should I be doing? Endurance, dont stress it to much. Just try and do some running. The longest run you will do in BMQ is 5-8k. You will start out at like 2k then move up. You dont have to be a PT stud to pass BMQ.

My buddy from who did some time there and they had to quick march everywhere, they had to ask permission to turn a corner. Sometimes the guards would dick with them and not answer them for awhile so they would just stand there yelling out asking for permission to take the corner. They cant smoke or watch TV but the longer your there the "better" you get treated. You have to earn rights to use the phone, to smoke, to watch TV. edit: If memory serves me right one of the goons in this thread had him on his course. Dp10040.

I bought a pair of SWAT's for the mechanic shop I worked at and they were amazing. Best pair of steel toes ive owned. They have held up quite well except the leather get scratched and torn easily. I loved my GP's I used them over my gortex boots that the tred was almost flat.

My VR took about 2 months. Mine was rushed due to family problems, friends of mine took 3-4 months. My first VR was denied by a Mcpl because "i didnt have enough reason's and had never been on course(even though I had)". Ive had friend working with the clerks given documents to shed, one of them being his own "lost" VR. edit: Thinking about it it was because I didnt elaborate on my reasons and kept it short.

I got out in mid 2009 and when I tried to get right back in it was full. I tried again in 2010 and they screwed up and closed my file and it would take 3 months to find and reopen it. So I said screw it. With all the budget cuts creating less jobs and horrid economy providing so many applicants they are able to choose who they want. Heck I had people who were wit me in 2008 who were too stupid to be infantry, we had a guy who could barley see to shoot PWT on my DP1.

Anyone remember that Master Bomber from CFLRS that taught weapons, he had arms like tree trunks. I think he got his rocks off from jacking people up for calling him Master Cpl.

He seriously spent half the classes talking about how he had all these university degrees and other delightful stories about how awesome he was... Yeah thats him I was in St. Jean in the summer of 08 and he taught me weapons. gently caress he loved to jack up. He also liked to talk about how many push ups he could do, little man syndrome. I remember that stock market crash, I didnt find out about it till like Oct when I graduated.
