Royal Military College of Canada - Sandhurst 2024 Military Skills Competition

The Royal Military College of Canada was named the best international team 🥇 and finished second overall 🥈 amongst 15 participating countries at the 57th Annual Sandhurst Military Skills Competition!
Beginning in 1967 and held at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, the Sandhurst Military Skills Competition tests Officer Cadets’ military skills, physical endurance, and teamwork. It includes navigating across approximately 43 kilometers of difficult terrain and challenges related to weapons handling, rifle marksmanship, combat swim (in full gear), trauma care, first aid, problem solving, and leadership.
These results are a testament to the quality of the military training provided at the Royal Military College of Canada. Bravo Zulu to everyone who participated!

Thank you all for your service, however, I was in the CF in 1980 and if my warrant had seen some of those hairdos he would have stroked out lol😮

[@ALookatInsideFood]

Agree : I hear they are going back the old standard.

[@KartyMcFarty]

@@ALookatInsideFood They're not going back the old standard but they are reversing some of the changes they had made previously that were out of control. Beards are good to go if neat and under 1 inch long. No more crazy hair colors only natural shades, hair not on shoulder unless tied up etc..

[@ranishkA123]

Why bother enforcing a standard that has no operational impact on effectiveness and standard?

[@josephmonkele5992]

​@ranishkA123 Aren't there multiple reasons for ordering soldiers to have short hair? Ok, the hand-to-hand combat & hair-pulling scenario might not be the most solid reason, but any soldier in the field who has long hair is probably going to get pretty greasy and itchy and foster a metropolis of bacteria in that hairdo that looks ridiculous with a beret on (looking at mullet guy). Long hair can also get caught in machinery and scalp you. Not to even mention the fact that short hair just looks way more professional and well-suited for a soldier.

[@Historybuff_769]

​@@ranishkA123well it's also for hand to hand combat too so a enemy don't have somthing to grab and slam your head against something

[@Historybuff_769]

​​@@josephmonkele5992yep that is correct soldiers should have short hair and short facial hair so there's nothing to grab, that's one reason the us soldiers have no facial hair and buzz cuts

I’m a Canadian citizen and would volunteer if asked to but I’m just some city dude - with that being said I’m so damn proud to see these fellow Canadians represent us on the world stage. Yes our army is in rough shape with the recent revelations and SA reports, but we can get better. We can build a CAF that is truly diverse and representative of our modernized nation. We are the True North: Strong, Free, and Ascendant.

Canada is soft. Military co-operation should have to be a must for all men coming out of post secondary studies as to help them in their lives about how to be a proper man.

When you have a base in being a well rounded person the rest is much easier to comprehend.

@antimatteranon you are just trying to compare canada by itself, but as I just said canada will fight as part of NATO, and the role we play, we play every well and we are small and professional. Which is why we are some of the best trainers in the world along side the UK, Germany and USA.

The sad truth of officer cadets is they are forced to sleep 5 hours per day, perform at their peak and get compensated $1000 per month by the Canadian Forces. Officer cadets are stuck in a 10 year contract with a starting salary of $50 k. They are obligated to serve in a war zone like Ukraine. While mercenaries get paid 2-3 times as much and have more liberties and options and just a 1 year contract.

They also put chemicals in our food so we had zero libido. Canadian Forces is looking to screw you and pay you shit. Stay away.

I realize this is rmc so the training is much softer. All of these morons would get soap and socks from me
