20 February 2009: The RMR’s Fitness Challenge is being launched for a fourth year and the CO has authorized the wearing of this new pin design for all RMR personnel who successfully qualify in 2009. Like in previous years, RMR members will be awarded a Bronze, Silver or Gold pin that they can wear on their uniform by completing a certain amount of push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups and running a certain distance under a required time. This pin is authorized for wearing internally at the unit only.
The design is based on the silhouette of a modern Canadian infantry soldier advancing to contact. It is to be worn vertically; one centimeter above and centered along the recipient’s name tag.
The CO encourages all ranks to qualify for the 2009 RMR Fitness Challenge and to remind them that in doing so they’re helping the RMR Set the Standard for all other units to follow.
The first Challenge will be held on 17 March 2009 – be there! And second one will be held on 24 March 2009
