For the record, I necroposted to this thread regarding lower back pain. The original thread is five years old. Thanks for the shin advice, though. lol My original post:

Don't know the exact name for it but it looks exactly like the one in the attached pic. Just had it packed with rations and clothing along with the valise and thremarest. About 40 lbs Valise just held the sleeping bag and groundsheet.

Resurrecting this one from the dead regarding the lower back soreness: Went on a ruck march this weekend with my unit. First one on Friday was fine as the rucksack sat straight and felt balanced with the exception of it being tight on the shoulders (no chest strap). The second march was shit...

Inspection: MCPL: "Pte, are you trying to grow a moustache?"  PTE: "No Mcpl!" MCPL: "Then shave that fucking thing off! You look like a fucking gay pornstar!..........Not that there's anything wrong with that."

LOL I shouldn't laugh because I might be one soon :P

Hi kincanucks, Thanks for your reply.  I did a search and did not find what I was looking for. Therefore, I posted a new topic. I can also assure you that I did not receive an explanation as detailed as yours at the CFRC. The OCdt started off saying that 5 years is the max that you have to...

Hey everybody, I am applying to the Regs through ROTP and am wondering about the time commitment involved if I am working towards a History degree at a Civi Uni. I phoned my local CFRC and talked to an Officer Cadet in ROTP. I got some answers from him but they were kind of shaky. I asked him...

That's awful. I bet the hearse driver feels like shit. Best wishes to the driver and the rest of the family.

I see. I might mention that to the recruiter at the unit if he does not suggest it. Thanks to both of you!

Hi Everyone, I have a question about joining the reserves. I'm 17 and planning on graduating high school in January. In September, I plan to move on to a trades school to study for an electrical ticket. I really want to serve my country by joining the reserves. The closest reserve unit to me is...

St. Jean and Wainwright to name a couple....... Do a search. It's been covered. Cheers

Happy Birthday Tess! Thanks for keeping all us lowly posters in line for all these years! :P :cheers:

Yes, thanks geo. I meant to say "serious" injuries. Sorry bout that.  :)

Speedy recovery troops. Thankfully there were no injuries.  :salute:

Wow now that was interesting. I think I'll finally put away the anti-depressants and extra booze for now.  ;)

GO!!!, I too never had the privilege of meeting you personally. You were a fine contributor to this site and to Canada. I have visited your parents and offered my deepest condolences as they live in the same city as I. R.I.P my friend  :salute: :cdn:

Well, you never know with those recruiters. >:D  No, I received a phone call and I'm sure they will phone you if you don't answer their emails. Best of Luck

I can sympathize with your father, formerarmybrat. Yesterday I was out for a 5k run in the park and was slowed down by a class of kids attending the local high school. I was nearing the end of my run and a couple of them smirked at me, which was fine. I passed them and the next kid purposely...

An amazing tribute that you don't see very often. God bless them.  :salute: :cdn:

Although it is very obvious, I will say yes. It is possible to support the troops and the mission. All troops (with the exception of reservists) have no choice but to play an active part in any mission. They deserve 100% respect for what they do to protect us every day, whether we support it or not.
