Humans are a horrible species, and it shouldn't just take that video for a person to realize it. We are animals just like all of the ones in the videos and to sustain ourselves its natural to consume them. Although massive corporate farms like those in the video aren't the way it should be done...

Seamus, since before my days in the reserves. Its Gaelic for James, which is my actual name.

I live in Sackville, so I could quite easily get to any of the ranges in the area. I think I may just have to give the NSRA a call and see what they have planned for the winter. Thanks guys!

After completeing BMQ this past summer I developed an interest in shooting. The range days on BMQ were fun but my scores were not particularly good. This has prompted me to try and improve my C7 proficiency, so I had my dad's .22 professionally cleaned and the man who cleaned it was a former...

Thanks guys! I found mine... It doesn't have any bagpipes in it though...  :crybaby: Damn lucky highlanders get all the good marches.

By goofing-off I would imagine that shes referring to his grades in school. Anyways I'm a young reservist, 17 now, 16 at the time I did my BMQ.  A group of recruiters came to my school as well, which is when I really got the idea in my head to join. So I talked to my parents about it and they...

Heh course not, don't wanna loose the job. I'm going to talk to a clerk in my unit about the proper way to go about a VOT if hes not too busy tomorrow night, I am afterall quite new to the whole military paperwork game.

I felt the same way even though I'm an NRE, our padre was a great guy and even though not everyone in the room was christian or even religious we all felt like he'd be a good person to go and talk to if we messed up really bad some day and needed some positive reinforcement, because it feels a...

Or perhaps not, as far as I can tell the 1 year period refers to the time  between enrollment and re-enrollment so I could infact apply for a VOT before I have 1 year of service and have go through all the paperwork then re-enrolll on the 1 year mark, I believe anyways, but I'm no clerk.

Awww damn... 1 year of service before I can try for a VOT. Guess that answers my question  :(

A quick question that I could not find the answer for on here nor could I talk to anyone at the recruiting center. I'm wondering what all of you who have had successful VOTs or are currently transferring did during the transfer? I'm a reservist and if I get my VOT approved I'd hope to be at my...

Hahaha my mom is trying her damndest to get me to go reg force and get a "free education", she always says "if I could do it over again..." my dad thinks its a great part-time job but he doesn't like me going away during the summer even though I'm only an hour and a half away, but I gotta say, I...

Thats the same reason I'm not going to be able to do my SQ until next summer. Doing it in the summer though means as soon as SQ is done I'll be moving onto BIQ and after that ARCON, effectively eating up all but about 12 days of my summer ( crosses fingers and hopes for no CB) but I think its...

If its really what you want to do you'll do it, you might run into problems but when has hardship never been a part of the military eh? No worries, what ever happens, happens. I don't think you'll get a whole lot of flak for the sleeve though and I'm assuming it was gotten without violating any...

Well you know better than myself that most courses are plauged by power point presenations and lectures that make the day grind to a halt it seems, it makes it harder on the mind than any rucksack march or field ex, but ya did it once already, atleast this time you can probably space out for a...

The course staff that you'd be dealing with most of the time may not even know its your second time around if you don't mention it, but because you're an older guy and a good part of your BMQ/SQ course may not even be old enough to vote you'll probably have some extra responsibilities.

I wouldn't wanna slice open any pores if I knew that would be mixing with my sweat and flowing into them  :-X It'd make for some pretty nasty looking ingrown hairs and maybe a nice rash that you'd have to shave over the next day.

It doesn't matter, its the internet, most people have a hard time saying what they want to say and having the right feelings conveyed along with the message, but then again a lot of people are just hostile  :P Anyways I'm pro-beard, as most in the CF probably are I can see reasons for the army...

Absolutely, although I'm assuming that the interviews and medical would be different than those which I took to get into the reserves? I don't know why I would have to take the CFAT again, then it'd almost be like I was joining again heh. I'm also wondering if units generally do not resfuse VOT...

Hahaha I'm unsure of whether you're mocking me or being serious. Anyways I did dig deeper in my search for information and from what I can gather it seems to depend upon, some saying you need to have a certain amount of time in the reserves and or be qualified in your trade and others seem to...
