I'm in the Army now

Hi all. I have finnally finnished my basic training for the Canadian military. It was a horrible 11 weeks. Now I am out in Gagetown New Brunswick were I do my 14 week soldier qualification course followed by a 10 week armoured couse in which I get to learn to opperate tanks such as the leppard, coyote, lav 3, and many more. I am having a blast and I wish I could get more chances to come tell yous all about it. I miss chatting with all of you that may remember me.

Us Canadians have JTF2. It's like the Deltas. Our government denies it exist. Rumors has it that the JTF2's anthem song is Here comes the Sandman by Metallica

Best luck to you. My friend just went into the U.S army back in Febuary for 6 years But its good to know your doing well.

Posted by ABTsportsline on Oct-07-2002 05:35:

just a quick little interesting note,
the British SAS is what the US modeled its special forces after,
and the SAS do a lot of US special force training.

I have only good things to say about those SAS i've dealt with.

We are the only country in the world who leases our army equipment.

we have the shittest equipement yet greatest soldiers.

we have the best snipers...

Posted by Technaut on Oct-07-2002 19:36:

wot does JTF2 stand for ?

Posted by STi_WRX02 on Oct-07-2002 20:13:

JTF stands for Joint Task Force.

Who's got the best snipers?

IMO The US has the best Snipers. The USMC Recon/Sniper. Semper Fi! Hoo ya! Standard Issue weapon is the M40A1. Maximum range of just under 1000 yrds.

The British SAS is pretty much the best but the do a lot of training with the Navy SEALS/ DEVGROUP, JTF2, GSG9, SDU etc.
