    Carrying non military issue knives

    You pretty much have to "know a guy" to get the CF issued Grohman, it's not given out regular basis. You might get it's cheap plastic handled and sheathed replacement though. Regardless it's still easier and probably better to buy a good knife yourself.

    Carrying non military issue knives

    We didn't get to use a knife in BMQ in St. Jean, had to cut string to tie hoochies with bic razors...actually kind of reminded me of the Cadet Leader Course where the same thing happened...only we were children then. I used a marlin spike generally more than any knife (other than a kitchen...

    Well Said. Still admirable, just means you need to be involved in the community. Volunteer for something your passionate about. If you think you can pass the express test, push yourself (fitness wise for the exempt standards). If you cannot gain weight after following advice of body...

    They sent a few guys home, that couldn't hack the run. A year or so later I was in Barrie, O.N.T. (a few years ago) I ran into the same guy who didn't make it on my course at St. Jean, he was a civilian. I do not know how Warrior Platoon fits in to the scheme of things, maybe he went there...

    My advice is dated (by 5 years). Ensure that you pass your run on the fitness test because other wise your RTU'd (Return to Unit). If your short with the Pushups, sittups, grip test then you are allowed to continue and re-test at the end of the course (however there is a PO check failure...

    Going to the Philippines.

    Posibly Seoul, South Korea as well. Buddy got a suit done there for cheap, looked good and I had a carpet made (about the size to go at the foot of your bed) for maybe $60, would be easily a couple hundred dollars at Ikea. Any Wool products, Carpets, etc. seal them up in a plastic bag for 3...

    Did anyone say bacon? :D

    I did come across a recipie for Bacon Muffins, I was both disgusted and compelled to try it, along with a regular batch of Baking Powder Biscuits and/or Muffins. I know how much you guys love Bacon, but both the Galley Buffer and the P.O. shot me down prior to making it.
