I found this very interesting, mainly because I'm currently an officer cadet, albeit on the blue side of things.
I'm happy to see the Army is actively investigating CrossFit, hopefully some of this stuff will 'leak' over into the rest of the Canadian Forces.

Goodwork Mr. Rutland, Mr. Bird,
I personally use mass-cycle.com right now but I still like to keep my fingers on the pulse. If you have a good routine I would like to see it for my own personal intrest.

Thanks

Ludwig

Ranger Buddy!!
This is great stuff. I read the articles and I am hooked. You guys are doing some great work up there and I will work to incorporate some of this in my unit. Thanks a lot. Shoot me a line when you get some time!

Good stuff.. I wish they actually did this with more than one unit more than once in a blue moon! In my infantry reserve unit we're too focused on OBUA.

Also, please proof read the article, as it contains looped-text in midsentence and although its nice to hear everything again, it would look a bit better :)
