Yea a army that’s gone to shit because gay propaganda and pronouns are the most important thing😂 what happened to Canada

I swear BMQ is now easier somehow I'm currently a Sailior 2nd class (S2) in the canadian navy reserves as a Naval Combat information operator (mos: 00114) but when I did BMQ back after covid ended every instructor were dazzled and confused how to start the bmq that was cancelled lots of times and when we did start it felt like a breeze. I did my BMQ at Vimy in Quebec and I was stationed at the H huts, meaning they were chill buildings with ac/heaters the best housing for recruits there was, you can also be stationed at the tents where it is nasty to stay in there with so many bugs and weather elements. My favourite part about my Basic Military Qualification was the part instructors were playing some scary horror music of a girl laughing at night it was 3 am for us and we heard it we thought we were in hell. The standard way to react was saying Stand 2 Stand 2, it means that all troops should be ready for combat anytime.

The Army and the government provided them next to little or no help and it is not going to change. A significant amount of wounded veterans have been treated terribly and had their lives ruined despite fighting the good fight and serving their country and fulfilling their duties. Our government literally has said that our wounded veterans are “ asking for too much” while our Veterans affairs system is ineffective at best. Instead of taking care of our Afghanistan veterans, our government is literally offering Medically Assisted Suicide. Do the research and you will see I am telling you the truth.

I don't understand the Canadian reserves. I am from the States. The Reserve there is basically like the active duty, but reduced duties. You still complete the same Basic as everyone else, and the same AIT. Here, I'm told, you're attached to whatever unit is in your area, and have to go to whatever area there is a unit for the MOS you want. So, say I want to go for medic, I have to go to an area that has a medic reserve unit if there's none in my area. Is this true?
