    The U.S. seems to have a bad track record for friendly fire incidents.

    Running

    I take almost the same route every time.  It has a few uphill sections and is about 2/3 on grass or dirt path.  Maybe I should note that I go up quite a long slope early on in the run. I'm assuming the runs I do at BMQ will be fairly flat in comparison.

    Running

    yeah the shoes where bad, I just didn't think they where THAT bad.  Before my ankles and calves where super hurting and my feet where swelling big time after only about 2k, but my last run was much much less painful right through to the end.  %200 improvement  ;D Thanks for the support!

    Running

    I don't think this will be a problem for me.  Like I said my issues with running stemmed from lack of proper footwear not loss of breath and I still remain fairly active though out the rest of the day, I still haven't gone for a run at 0500 though.    Now that I've changed my shoes, 5k is not a...

    Running

    Nice pun. Yeah in a short period I went from hating it to potentially liking it. As for the running groups I probably should've done that like a month ago because I leave for BMQ in 19 days, it is defiantly crunch time! I'm now running 4 days a week and now shooting for 10k by the end of the...

    Running

    GOOD NEWS!! I tried some different shoes (still not proper runners though) and just did 7km! I couldn't believe how much less the pain was, I actually got to run out of breath this time. I Regretted stopping because after I did I felt like I could've gone further.  Still, this is a new record...

    Running

    Thanks for the advice! Now I have better idea of what I'm getting myself into.  Pain in my ankles is the reason I stop after about 3k my feet get really swollen, I know I need new shoes but I'm low on funds.  I'm also sure that running with other people helps to keep you going. I'm currently...

    Running

    3k is my limit for constant running after a short walk (5min) I can continue.  I guess what I'm asking is if the 5ks are constant or not? anyways no matter what I'm going to keep pushing myself harder I'm never been the type of guy to be happy with just doing the minimum.

    Running

    My BMQ is coming up real soon and I started training for it a little late. For 2 weeks now I've been running 3 to 4 days a week outside and with some hills.  I can only do a little over 3k but I'm improving.  I smoke but I'm past the point of running out of breath and now it's just muscle...

    BMQ August 2007 - ALL locations

Apparently my background check is taking longer than usual in Ottawa,  I may have some debt collectors that need to be paid.  I was hoping to go Aug 6 but if the ceremony has already been held am i too late? is...

    HELP! need to choose a career

    Thanks for clearing that up for me, my friend doesn't really know because he's not going until Jan, following knee surgery. All three do appeal to me, I think Cavalry and Infantry most.  Although my skills (electrical, paving, running machinery) say I should be an engineer I really want to do...

    HELP! need to choose a career

    I know that you must fill out three choices on your application but could you not change your mind before you start your specific career training?

    HELP! need to choose a career

    Well thanks for the input.  My indecision is due to some preconceived ideas of what these jobs might entail however they may not be true...    I wanted to go Engineer because of the civilian job skills i would learn however, I've spent the last three years on a construction crew and doing...

    HELP! need to choose a career

    I've stalled on filling out my application because i'm not entirely sure which career i should pursue.  After much research i've narrowed it down to three choices. Infantry, Armoured, Combat Engineer.  I have likes and dislikes for all of these jobs but, i am wondering if anyone has experience...
