Canadian Patrol Pathfinders 

MCPL Chabot? I had him back in 2002.

What do you mean by rugged?

WO Cushman?

Back before BMQ even existed (yes, I’m THAT old) one of my instructors on QL2 (what basic used to be called) was a British Army guy who transferred to Canada back when the UK drastically reduced. He was pathfinder qualified. Easily one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. But even now, 20yrs later, I can look back and honestly say “Still one of the toughest people I’ve ever met.” Wasn’t macho at all, but damn that guy had a presence about him.

WO Webber

Same bro lol

How long did it take to reach up to the pathfinder course? What’s the average age for a pathfinder?

@@annaholton422 Not sure since I was never one but most people I know are in their mid 20's and early 30's. It could take a while depends on the timing since they don't do the courses very often. You have to go through basic recce course and advance recce course then you get to do Pathfinder course selection not sure if it's still the same since I've been out of the military for a while now.

@@distortish ok thanks my son-in-law (22) is highly interested as a infantry soldier for about 1 year and is waiting for a chance to compete with the pathfinders or another speciality like that

@@distortish you dont need advanced recce just basic recce

🤣🤣🤣

U can definitely do it man ..stop putting limits to yourself

Same lol

U prolly can

I applied recently to the forces, I want the badge, I will try to keep to up 2 date

yea, now the majority of the infantry quit in the last 10 years , and there is nobody to replace them. recruitment is down, training is down, all due to coronavirus, meanwhile china is recruiting and training at a higher pace than ever, not vaccinating or masking their troops, and feeding them non propagandized diets. we are going to get steamrolled in ww3

that was a long time ago now it's all about Trudeau Pushing the LGBT freak Agenda on the entire military.

that time is over buddy

@@ejd7881 we still have the best trained infantry

@@Taha-js4bm We treat them as a joke and have little, if any regard for what they have done and can do. were do you get your info trudeau ? no we don't recruits are weak and training is bad

Agreed. This is the real deal.

Right?

Second to none.

What is the average age for a pathfinder and how long did it take?

@@annaholton422 (Not a PPF but work next to them) I'd say around 30 and course takes around 3 GRUELING months

Hey bro, meet you second Italian. It was hard, it was good.

Sorry. This a I **** me off. Second battalion same as you. Some of the best brothers in my life.

The amount of shit the ROC gives to Québec is too much when you look at how many québécois are in the army... like holy shit, one of the 3 battalions of the CAF is based in Québec and almost completely filled with french-canadians...

3VP are the best.

And 6 of them comes from Quebec if you count the 5 RGC Guy.

Tough as nails.

Typically, only 1/4- 1/3 ever pass the course.

@antoinebrosseauhopefully the election

Trudeau is making you proud

Less culture change powerpoints and more of this please

If you think the Cows are scared, you should see the Goats faint!

Under paid, under funded, outdated gear, underdogs. Our government really does not like to spend money on our armed forces at all.

It's not always about high tech gear sometimes it's about mental acquity, and using what you have around you, stay humble. See the wind be the branch.

70 pounds on his back, prob has rucked for over 10 miles at that point

same!

I'll see you there bud! 👊

Rangers Lead The Way.

You meant kiss ass ! The Queen'$ one

Absolutely no one is putting you guys down, and it's a bit ironic you say you don't "flaunt it," yet that's exactly what you're doing. 😅

100%! I was thinking the same too. For whatever reason, the US Army thinks they don't need pathfinder training. If they combined it with the Reconnaissance Surveillance Leaders Course, they could knock out 2 birds with 1 stone, and they would not have to worry about losing the skills pathfinder teaches. I would go so far as to argue that Pathfinder should be first, then the course can transition into RSLC. That way if a major war suddenly happens while students are in this now 11 week long course, all they have to do is make it to week 3 and they have one skillset knocked out vice trying to do the 8 weeks of RSLC first which would take longer. Of course, since you'd now have to complete RSLC to earn a Pathfinder Badge, the Army should allow Soldiers to wear the RSLC Recondo Arrowhead Badge with the Pathfinder Torch in the middle to signify the completion of both courses/ attainment of both skills. 😉

The US Pathfinder course is not the same thing at all. Heavy academics though. The CAF course is like a shorter version of CCT.

🤦‍♂️

Yeah yeah yeah....whatever.

Hahahaha I doubt CAF issues anything close to mystery ranch.

Special Forces, they didn't just advance recce , but many other jobs ( hostage recuperation and take hostage ,airport or many on the field neutralisation, sabotage, etcccc ) They works too with JTF2 ans CSOR to Petawawa in Ontario with one Pathfinder platoon , and 3 R22R, 3 PPCClI , 3 RCR have an unit of Pathfinder in each Bataillon

No. 😂
