Hi, I'm leaving for Mod 2 of my DP1 in a few days and I have heard that there is a portion where you are forced to stay awake for 72 hours straight. Wanted to see if this was true or if it is exaggerated. Thanks.

Thank you for the answers, everyone!

Hey, sorry if this is not worth asking or if this is in the wrong section. I had my enrollment ceremony recently and I am now part of a training company, and I am expected to parade for the first time this week. I have not had my kitting appointment scheduled and was told to wear civilian...

Alright, thank you for the links and info. I'll check them out!

My apologies, I should have been more specific, but in all honesty, I'm not really sure what I should start with... and as stupid as it may sound, I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. I guess pieces of uniform, newspapers, letters, weapon pieces, etc. Again, my apologies, and maybe I can...

And yes, I have searched through these forums as well, but so far I have been unable to find what I'm looking for.

Anyone know a good online dealer? Searched a lot, looking through Ebay, but I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of a trusted seller. No items in particular, but I'm thinking of starting a collection. So, if maybe someone could help me get started by directing me to a good...

Thank you very much for the help, guys. This will make thing s a hell of a lot easier for me.

Alright, thank you for clearing that up for me, guys. And Trucker, when you say I'm a member of the primary reserve if I'm doing the co-op(if there even is a co-op at my school) and I do plan on remaining a reservist after high school and through university still, what would happen then? Would I...

Greatly appreciated, Trucker. Lots of useful info. But my questions above is what I'm most curious about now^. Also, during the co-op(if it is available), what will I mostly be doing? Not that it really matters, because I'd be willing to do it, but I'm just curious as to what it entails. And...

Alright, thank you. But I was told I can only join the reserves at the age of 17, or in Grade 11, unless you're from Quebec? And I assume I would still be applying at CFRC Barrie?

Thank you for the detailed answer. Since my birthday is in August and that's most likely when I would be applying and let's say I happen to get accepted and they give me a date for BMQ (You have to go through that even as a reservist, right?) that interferes with school. What would I do?

Hey, hope this is the right section. I've searched for this, by the way, but couldn't find anything. Anyways, recently at the gym I've been eeing some guys with grey shirt thats read ARMY, and underneath that, the  French word, ARMEE. I'm curious as to whether or not these shirts are strictly...

Awesome, but during this work, I assume I'd have to travel. I live in like, 15 minutes from Barrie, so for those of you that know that area, where would I be going? Borden, or what?

I'll be in Grade 12 come September of 2013, and my birthday is in August. I will be turning 17. I'm curious if it's possible to join the CF as a reservist, while still being able to finish school? Thanks.
