[elias5926]

Who's that guy at 3:50. He looks like me back in gr10 ..

[drfye]

hahaha, is this in BMQ? are you guys regulars?

[JoshTheDrummer69]

why does the one guy have long hair?

[dynastyballer13]

@JoshTheDrummer69 because he's Native American and it's allowed.

[JoshTheDrummer69]

@dynastyballer13 why would it be allowed? doesnt it go aggainst the CF policy?

[teeps1974]

@JoshTheDrummer69 No. It is perfectly acceptable by our dress standards to allow First Nations to wear their hair as such. Frankly, does not make them a lesser soldier. 

[JoshTheDrummer69]

@teeps1974 I never said it will "make them a lesser soldier" , but, for the CF policy regarding hair, "Hair on the head shall be neatly groomed

and conservatively styled. The length, bulk or style of

hair shall not detract from a positive military

appearance or preclude the proper wear of military

headdress" does long hair have a positive military appearance? especially when its not done up like females do?

[JoshTheDrummer69]

@teeps1974 not to mention, if he is my fire team partner in theater and we get gassed, and he puts his gas mask one but its not sealed cause of the long hair, then im fucked. Frankly, it makes him a useless soldier when hes dead cause he couldnt put his mask on, am i wrong?

[teeps1974]

@JoshTheDrummer69 Current dress regulations do take these things into account. The current dress regs allow for First Nations to wear their hair as such. I am a CSM, I do not have a say in this matter and neither do you. It has been decided, and so we work with the regulations.

[dtowninthisbiatch]

[dtowninthisbiatch]

polishing boots in your room..

[nichtausDeutschlan]

I have a question: It looks like all of the C7s do not have slings, so would you be allowed to make a sling out of para cord?

[1fosteraus]

[JoshTheBrown]

watching shit like this makes me miss that life style

[sneaky147]

@capajc After basic there is sometimes a bit of a wait before a course opens up and we're loaded on our trade training, but once we have that we are right in the fold.

[sneaky147]

I was in S137 for 8 months while I was in PRETC. This video takes me back...

[skillet2331]

[DoomLsk]

@1john1992 Because we were ballers that course.

[Freepepsi42]

Wasting time with the kiwi cloth one bag of cotton ball will last you your entire 9 week BMQ, and you get a way better shine faster.

[Amerikhastann]

Heh I was supposed to do my BMQ In Borden as a Navy Reservist, starting this year though I have been told that Individuals in the Navy Reserve will be doing their BMQ in Halifax from now on. Everyone who has gone to Borden so far told me it was a blast though haha..

[Clevinger67]

I was in Borden in 1988, 1990 and 1991. This brings back a lot of memories. And the rooms are the same as they were back then. Incidentally, if you watch the movie "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid, the first twenty minutes or so of the movie were filmed in and around CFSEME, the mess hall over there, and the barracks next to A 147, where I lived. It's old, but it's a good film.

[kane9812]

Too bad they don't have an education.

[walkertexasranger33]

wth are there alot of natives in the forcES?

[ndvfdff33]

S-137?  Or is this in the T lines??

[DoomLsk]

@ndvfdff33 It's Building S-137

[TheIronicBanana]

@DoomLsk What are the rules on keeping your weapon in you room?

[DoomLsk]

@TheIronicBanana The rules were to keep them in the closet or with you at all times, even when you are using the washroom except the shower, and not to play around with them i.e Pointing them at people, and playing around.

[TheIronicBanana]

@DoomLsk Is that only for grunts or for every one?

[DoomLsk]

@TheIronicBanana That rule is applied to everyone that is issued a weapon. :)

[thomas007]

@DoomLsk oh man S-137... that brings back memories

[ndvfdff33]

@ndvfdff33

Nice. I lived in that building for a couple of years. Lot's of good times in that place.

[TheVoraciousSnapmare]

Peytonomo you fried chicken lovin, purple drank slurpin, tv haulin, black bastard.

WHY DOESN NO ONE NOTICE YOU'RE HOLDING A CAMERA?!?! THESE PEOPLE ARE GUARDING OUR FREEDOM?!?! WTF???

[Delningit]

@TheVoraciousSnapmare Relax dude, it's shacks in Borden, the only thing these young lads are protecting there is their own sanity from bordem. There's more information to be gathered about anything OPSEC from a recruiting video than these guys every day lives. There's nothing here to get twisted up about.

[TheVoraciousSnapmare]

@Delningit lol im just fuckin with him
