Joined The Army
Around the summer time in 06 I decided I wanted to join the Army Reserve here in Canada and so I applied. In December I was finally accepted and officially sworn in. At the start of January I started my BMQ (Basic Military Qualification) Which I did during the weekends. However the day I was booked in to get my equipment there was a huge blizzard and I was unable to get it. So I have had to wait until today to get my gear. Well finally after allot of waiting I got everything! And I mean everything!

This is everything I was issued. Now I just have to go through everything and get it all labeled and organized. And of course as you can see my cat took the opportunity to lie down on my stuff the second I brought it home.

Neither do i. But I will say that our guys are just as qualified as yours. We might train different but we learn the same thing. Hell, you can do the army as a part time job and school during the week. It's very good for alot of poor people with a good mind.jfrolang said:
Think you can get more gear? Wouldn't mind some of that stuff for paintballing

Ohh yea. Comming in for 2 days and knowing you get to leave on Sunday is waaay worse than being stuck in training for 10 weeks solid. It's much more realistic too.. cause if they ship you out to war you get to come home every week..right? I dunno... I think a lot of the training is psychological... and you just can't recreate the experience in a weekend. I mean I'm down with the technical training being on weekends (like if you're going to fix tanks... you can do that training on the weekends). But with combat training I personally feel it's better to do it all at once. But then that's just my opinion. It often differs from othersFooFighter said:
I guess it always seems harder to the people doing it thier way.
On a side note... I think everyone in North America has those exact same TV trays
Do or die for the Core. Ah, I almost have joined too many times just from sitting around watching FMJ and a few other choice movies. But I may be a bit crazy.
Good luck with the Canuk Nat'l Reserves, never heard much about them. I do know Canada had some tough [something better than booya] guys in WWII but my knowledge of Canadian militaria stops about there
