I am starting a Club within my school, or if that does not work, just a general club. This will consist of a bunch of people (members) who want to train, regarding the CF or just health it doesn't matter, and we will have people designing special weighted outfits for added restriction to movement and whatnot. I am looking for anyone in Hamilton or within the vascinity to help me out. If anyone is interested even in the thought email me or contact me via MSN at pokegenius202020@yahoo.ca also If anyone has any connections for me to use that may help me take the group on "field trips" then that'd be great, those trips are including paintball , go-karts, tours, and any other possible field trips that a group could go on.

This group needs:

designers - to help design the weighted outfits
research reporters - to help us to find more accurate information about the CF's history and present affairs.
People to teach us other languages - For making it more ideal for when in other countris on tour or during other affairs.
CF volunteers - people who want to help us trai and show us how it's done.
General members - people who want to be a part of a group training aspect that is free. (Field Trips may have a cost, obviously.)
Leaders/Adults - anyone whom is an adult and wants to help me lead the group is QUITE APRECIATED!

the group is simple, we train, we field trip, we talk, we study a little and we have fun. The rules are: Listen to the leaders and we will be happy, and to make it simpler, the leaders are there to help keep people from killing other people (which shouldn't have a chance to occur but oh well) and if this is OK then the group will run smoothly.

There is also a possibility for a religious aspect, but i doubt it will come into play due to diversity. But on the other hand to that, if anyone wants to share their religious aspects with me I would never oppose because if I know more religions then I can become more agreeablea better people person.

I have one last request: If there are ANYONE who wants to join or help out, PLEASE say so HERE or contact me via PM or MSN or E-MAIL!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your time.

Alrighty, So that makes a bunch of us already, anyone else want in?

I will be updating everyone on where it will be held, because even if my school wont let me host it there it may be at another place, any sugestions?

also i was told that i should have people suggest what they would like to do within the group so that i know how to incorporate your intentions to make it more fun and exceedingly successful for you.

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #6 on:** October 07, 2004, 17:17:02 »

I forgot this in my last post.

What would be a good name for the club?

aspiring officer · « **Reply #7 on:** October 07, 2004, 17:56:52 »

how bout "#1234 wannabe cadet corps" affiliated with the JTF2, lol
If you want a good club with a good fitness program with ties to the CF, go join your local cadet corps.

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #8 on:** October 07, 2004, 18:04:39 »

its not PT only, it wil have a historical study sort of thing just to get basic knowledge and we will do fun stuff and it will be structured, please dont mock my club i am only trying to get people who want into a structured, fun and not fully CF incorporated environment a chance to chill with other people....

Alex252 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 07, 2004, 18:13:47 »

dont worry hes only joking by the way could you maybe give may an update on the stuff you guys are doing? maybe i could help with the design of the program since i cant be there in person

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #10 on:** October 07, 2004, 18:30:36 »

Sounds great, sorry for taking to the offense on that comment rifle,

Alex, I would be happy to take your help, If you can help with the name thing for starters that'd be great (i may have posters up in school and stuff so i need a name)

and to clarify things, I am considering this an all around group, I need a i said before designers and people with other language backgrounds to help me and the group learn the history and so that we can get some cool weights going on.

Next up, I would like for you , Alex, to help me with one other thing, which is (everyones oppinion helps here too) that i need an idea of whether i should make it a ranked system or just a cool club to go and chill at, like not tooo structured? or almost as structured as cadets. I have many possible plans so any ideas help, ill add a poll.

Alex252 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 07, 2004, 19:03:42 »

Hmmm alright to start of with the name thing we dont want it to be like cadets or boyscouts.Need to be original. I'll get back to you on that. Now about the ranks i think it would be a good idea to an extent. You want to have ranks to show experience but since this is a club you still want it to be laid back. Ill say yes to ranks but youre going to have to fill me in if you want disipline etc.

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #12 on:** October 07, 2004, 19:07:14 »

well, the ranks are basically for experience and participation and leadership. There is no need for discipline because this is a club, people can come and go s they please, so yes its laid back but a structures laid back.

Infanteer · « **Reply #13 on:** October 07, 2004, 20:36:46 »

How about calling your club The League of Extraordinary Gentleman (and Ladies)

That name seems to be en vogue (or something to that effect)....

Infanteer, even thouh your suggestion is very good, i would like to also see other suggestions as well, and I am looking for something moreso original, not movie related. But thank you for you suggestion and participation!!

Infanteer · « **Reply #16 on:** October 07, 2004, 20:47:43 »

Movie related....right.

How about the Studies and Observations Group - you could even abbreviate it. That sounds like a good name for a club that does that sort of thing.

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2004, 20:49:35 »

sounds cool, we also are going to do Physical Training. not just studying, actually studying is more of a secondary thing.

Though i like SOG. sounds cooler then ome other suggestions i got.

NavyGrunt · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2004, 20:59:33 »

Studies and Observations Group Gunnin' Youngins'

Or S.O.G.G.Y. for short......or isthat to navy

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #19 on:** October 07, 2004, 21:04:05 »

LOL

An addition i didn't state before is that I dont think that it will be ARMY only but maybe ALL forces, but im not sure how many NAVY or AIR FORCE people there will be, so it all depends.

any questions are always appreciated, because that way i will answer them and know the answer!!

pbi · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2004, 00:21:54 »

Wow this sounds cool. I know about a club just like this, but it's pretty hush-huh. Here are some really neat names I thought of:

APNEA: A Platoon of Naturally Enterprising Adventurers;

ADD(HD): A Dedicated Detatchment (of Hamilton Daredevils);or

PSYCHO: People So Young they Can't Help Overreacting.

But do you wear the weighted suit at the same time that you study history, or what? I have to know.......... Cheers.

SHELLDRAKE!! · « **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2004, 00:48:15 »

Maybee you can get a grant from the govt to help out.I read that a guy got $96,000 to write a book of blonde jokes....

HAHAH!
I like PHSYCHO and ADDHD. Lol.

Oh yeah, JUST CAUSE IT'S WINTER DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP TRAINING!
There's the gym, and we can still, and should run and work out outside, yes.. in the snow.
I've done it before, your feet get numb in your running shoes, so you can't really feel any pain or discomfort, and if you're bundled properly, you'll be nice and warm.

Cheers,
Lex

AspiringL.I. · « **Reply #24 on:** October 08, 2004, 12:26:07 »

It is yearround so we will do it in wintertoo. The weighted outfits are for anyone who wants em and they can wear them whenever they please,

the grant thing has passed through my mind and i am actually in the process of writing a report to see if i am able to get one.

I am at school right now and I would like to know if anyone thinks that I could even get some for of help or anything at all from the CF itself, like it doesn't have to be anything tangible, like maybe even make it just anything. I am hoping really really hard that people will want to join, remember it will be starting sometime next week for sure and The location is not sure yet, I'll keep you guys posted.
