I'm flying from Toronto on Sunday the 4th. I don't know when I will be on base. Whenever the next shuttle bus takes me I guess. Maybe I'll see you there. I know there's at least 5 others that were at my swearing-in on Sept. 24th here in Barrie and will be taking the same flight as I. And 2 of...

Man $500 a month for food is pretty hefty. Year at college I got by on $200/month and I ate good. This better be gourmet food haha!

Would you be able to tell me right now what I can and can't do when it comes to my height and being in a Leopard? How about the other armoured vehicles? I'm assuming there aren't height restrictions for the majority of them or I would not have gotten selected for this profession. Do armoured...

My bad. To clarify things I was offered a 3 year contract over the phone which I "accepted". I go in to sign the paperwork and swear in on Sept. 24th.

False advertising is so FTW. Thanks for clearing a few things up though. I haven't yet signed anything yet or sworn in and I'm seriously re-considering it. And I thought it was funny that you mentioned maybe changing countries because I happen to have dual citizenship with Germany/Canada.

Okay so my options then are: gunner/loader in a tank or any of the other armoured vehicles? A friend of mine who's stationed in Petawawa right now as gunner for a Coyote said he's got a comrade there with him who's 6'5" and drives the Coyote and has driven a Leopard 1. This is really pretty bad...

Hey everybody, I just signed my 3 year contract and am heading out to St. Jean for my BMQ on October 4th. I'll eventually be an armoured crewman and was really hoping to make my way into some sort of tracked vehicle, preferably a Leopard. I have had a strong passion for tanks since I was a kid...

Thanks for the reassuring words man. It would really kill me to not be able to pursue my dream because I'm a tall... Any more information is sure to be soaked up and would be appreciated. Thanks for all so far guys!

Thanks for your time and information both Rowshambow and RCDtpr! If at 6'2"/6'3" I am too tall for the driver seat of a tank will I automatically be assigned to a different position within the tank or is the driver seat for the Coyote roomier and therefore that's what I'll be assigned to? How...

Hey everybody!! Rowshambow I read your post and you mentioned that every regiment will have tanks again in the future. I just signed up and am leaving for my BMQ on October 5th. I'll be an armoured crewman and I have a strong interest in tanks. It was the deciding factor which made me sign up...

Hey guys, I'm starting October 5th(English) and flying in from Toronto the day before that. I'm going for armoured crewman after BMQ. Hope to see you there!
