This is a very immature question but, after basic training if i have some accessories for the AR-15, am I able to have them mailed in to use (Tapco, Magpul)? I've seen videos of CF members in Afghanistan with weapon mods so im just wondering.

[CanadianArmyNews]

@k2mkfw It varies depending on the circumstance. Please speak to your superiors for more advice.

So there is no seperate branch training?, All Services undergo the same training toghether? That's intresting..And on the road march why are they bunched up? give at least five meters apart.

Hang in there young lady its only 12 K, you can do it!

[CanadianArmyNews]

@Paladin1441 All who wish the join the CF must complete the basic training regardless of the position. Specialized training for particular positions occurs after the completion of basic training.

why are all there code words named after movies??

[CanadianArmyNews]

@placehood There is no specific strategy when selecting code words. They are related only to whatever their creator considered would be secure under the specific circumstances of their use.

Easy day, breath in and out. Say to your self this isn't going to happen forver. Soon it'll be over and you've completed your objective. Those who complain are weak.

[scorpion068]

are the instructors always soft like this? They seem to kinda baby our soldiers, no? :s

[crazzykidds]

How come you never see the guys, this show is basically all that girl only

[EliT3man]

crying definitley wont help

[Z0mbieILLNESS]

@scorpion068 maybe because of this "babying" when they are in an emotional state helps them rather than pushing them to their worst which can possibly lead to hatred or suicide.

[shadowmare97]

@scorpion068 Believe me they can be hardasses when they have to be. But psychologically it's easier to teach students that don't hate your guts. You actually aren't allowed to be "friends" with the instructors per sey.

[WTFadtheking]

@k2mkfw I believe that during training, no. but in the field you can bring personal stuff on yu9r weapon, but i am telling you, what they give you there is the best gear u can get EVER.

[MrRenegademovies]

@scorpion068 this is a very polished verion of what actualy happens so as not to scare people away

[hammerhead4896]

@k2mkfw AR-15 atachments may not work with the C7 and C8 rifles but you can get mods aslong as they are athorized

[TaskrHD]

@k2mkfw its not a AR-15 its a C7 or C8 assault rifle

[ImonYTehh]

@Shanon576 This is nothing like the real thing, it's censored to hell and back. The Canadian Forces are trained to the same level as the US Marines, possibly better. I showed an episode of this to a guy I know in the air force, he couldn't stop laughing :P.

[Shanon576]

OMG that chick is such a whiner. What would she do if she was sent to the middle east. Canada should be a little more stringent like the Americans during training exercises
