The reason i love Canada is because we're the unsung hero's. We go in and do the job right, without expecting every one on the planet to hold parades to our honor or to have the word march to our drums. If countries thank us we accept it and move on. No bragging, no showing off. That's real Honor.

As I said, according to the offical Marine Website it is a 12 Week Basic Course, I am not saying that after the 12 weeks they go straight to combat, because few modern armies are that stupid.

What I meant was that the AK is not gas operated in the same way. The firing mechanisms are completely different this is what gives the AK it's durability, but also it's inaccuracy and kickback. The more modern versions of the AK have reduced the heavy sliding action and thus reduced the kickback. I don't pretend to be an expert I am going by an American discovery episode right here on youtube. Don't take my word for it go look it up for yourself.

Yes. There is training conducted but its more about living in Shacks and getting ajusted to the facilities.

the Ak47 is a Gas Operated Rotating bolt weapon. All modern service weapons in Militaries, unless bolt action, are Gas Operated.
You need to use the Gas to cycle the bolt and load the next round.
