Are you guys buying your own running shoes before going or can you buy a specific kind/colour at CFLRS. Was gonna buy before leaving but not sure now don't wanna have to buy another pair because the ones I bought weren't standard. Also for bathing suits theyre supplied by the QM I'm guessing that means theyre military issued and we don't have to bring our own?

 

[MikeL]

The shoes CFLRS issue are junk, and I'm not sure what selection the Canex there will have. If you have a favorite brand/model you like, buy it and bring it with you.

If the joining instructions say to bring a bathing suit, bring one or buy from the Canex. I don't recall being issued a bathing suit.



Have a look through this.
