Anyone here going on courses in Gagtown this summer?

Just trying to get the lowdown.

I'm not going this summer (best they could offer me was working the Canteen all summer.. yippee), but I've been there and a lot of guys in my unit are there. What did you want to know, I might be able to help you out.

I'm going for the second part of the reserves infantry officer course. The 7 week phase 3 thing.
It sucks that its not even transferable to reg force cuz I've been thinking of going back in full time. They wouldn't even let me go to Phase training initially cuz I have a degree already, so they sent me on the reserves one, even though I have prior service.
From what I understand however, (someone can help me out on this) once you get to Captains rank and higher all courses are equivalent. So does that mean that once I get my Captains bars that I can then go reg force??? Doesn't make sense to me but who knows.

I'll be on the QL4 Machine Gun course starting on Sunday June 11th then I will be on Demo platoon at Atlantic Training Centre for the rest of the Summer until ARCON. I'll be staying in M-5 all summer I think. Who knows I could be attacking your position. Let me know who you are and I won't piss in your waterbottle when you are sleeping.

From what I've heard Phase 4 is a Reg force Qual. It would be cool if you got to do it with the LAV IIIs but that probably won't happen. Phase 3 is a bitch. Have fun on your 12 day patrols through Scotty Dog

I don't sleep.

Sleep is a crutch.

51-18, well played Canucks, at least this time it was rugby and not a brawl. I was particularly impressed with Morgan Williams, I think he's a great scrum-half, and of course Al Charron is one of the hardest men in the game.

[Cree Warrior]

huh? Whats rugby? Is it anything like hockey?

To Cree Warrior: Rugby is the MANS version of american football.
To Baboon: Did ya hear about AB's v Tonga? 102-0 (and the ball was crappy)

Thanks Huey, yes I saw the highlights of that game, Troy Flavell is a machine! To Snake: Aussie Rules? You mean those guys in the sleeveless t-shirts and tight little shorts? Talk about soap-droppers! To Canucks: strangely enough most of the Canadian team are ex-hockey players. This isn't totally unrelated to spec ops, apparently the SAS play a particularly ferocious brand of rugby, more guys get injured in the inter-squadron cup than in any international matches.
