    Hey Thomas, TJ from RMCC here (I've graduated long before you uploaded this video). Good to see you active on UA-cam. I hope you enjoyed the training camp.

    I noticed both (Canadians and US cadets) saluted at same time to Canadian national anthem, is that customary?

      mo budagen As a sign of respect you must salute the colours, flags and to the anthems of other countries

      Absolutely! Allied nations soldiers will salute for each others national anthems. Any Cadet, US or Canadian, not paying respects at that time would have had a bad day the next day.😉

      Of course. Canada and the U.S. are allies and friends.

    I’m totally lost as to what video comes next. There is no 07, I see several 01’s and 001’s, are those different series? You should make all your videos in chronological order, that’s what people like. You have kind of a mess here.

    • @LongGrayLessons
      @LongGrayLessons  5 років тому

      Thanks for viewing and for the feedback! If you notice the title, it will depict what series and playlists the video belongs to. Will reorganize the videos for easier navigation!

      I really enjoyed watching, so thanks for sharing. What an incredible insight into someone’s life as you have shared. I would have loved to see from freshmen to senior... someone will probably do that in the future. Yes, from your channel feed under videos everything is listed in order but you have to go there every time. It would be better if your first video was 001 and so on. I assume you will continue to make more videos about your career? I have a neighbor, husband and wife are colonel’s, the husband is a professor at WP, perhaps you knew him, Andy Hall or his daughter Catherine?

    Do weight standards apply? Is it different for males versus females? Does the Army do body fat calibrations? During President Carter’s administration DoD directed what we troops refered (1980’s) to as the Fat Body Program. Once implemented, we lost many good people unable to make physical standards.
    Marines; Being serious competitive body builders were discharged- I kid you not. Because they were too BIG!
    Wiped out thousands of men and women hoping to make it too retirement. Politics or DoD mandated reductions destroy careers.
    With the possibly of a NEW POTUS being certified as president. He’s said he’d reduce Military budgets in favor of social spending. I would study this possibility as in thinking ahead-strategizing secondary options, even certain MOS cuts have affect. Personnel Evaluations are seriously looked at as well.
    Word to the wise.

      @@chocolatebar5663 Yeah, because snow never crosses the U.S. Canadian border. It's not -60 F in the northern Great Plains right now....nahhhh. Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas etc....never get any snow.
      When the winter Olympics have been in the U.S. the snow is just special effects. And the U.S. soldiers in Alaska never train outside. The U.S. Marines don't have a winter warfare center in Pickle Meadows in the Sierra Nevada mountains.....nope, it's all just Hollywood special effects.
      Btw, I don't agree with Gang, Gang he/she probably never put on a uniform in his/her life. The Canadian Royal Military College trains fine officers and not ALL Americans complain about the cold...some of us grew up in it.
