the Pl agreed. The Platoon Commander is always going to be in his own little world,  thats why we've got the LAV SGT up there with him.

Yes, I was also CT, and if you got the impression from my comment that I wasn't a fan of 'Quick Picks' that is not the case, some of my best friends are from the Militia, I do not hold them in low regard, they bring more life experience to the table. First you're right, it is not my place to...

Almost 3 years ago, I completed a CT to the reg force, and I am currently in a battalion that with the last couple of months has received a large amount of reservists, some have stayed jacks, but a majority of them lost the leaf, and are now PLQ and ASA qualified CPLS, IMO this isn't fair...

Is CANSOF responsible for their own intelligence gathering ? Or do they receive assistance from JTF-X source handler operators?

If you were anywhere near that level or point in your career where you're setting your sights on either of those, I'd expect you to know the answer..

Have you guys seen the brown boots yet? I ask because one of guys I work with has been issued them already, ill try and catch up with him tomorrow and snap a photo of the boots.

I was just told as of this morning, from my company clerk, that within 2 weeks time I will recieve my offer for REGFORCE Infantry from (reserve INF)  and if I accept I could be in Wainwright by 1 april.  So I guess its my lucky day, but if theres one thing i've learned, don't believe much in...

A good friend of mine is moving on to his CT interview from Reserve Infantry to Pilot, So it looks like he's getting somewhere finally. Now if anyone is also trying to switch to RegForce Infantry from Reserve, we've still got a long wait ahead, I put my CT in in October 2010, and as of last...

It wouldn't really be worth it dude, chances are good you wouldn't be allowed either, it is BMQ after all. Side note i was on ex MAple Defender 2011 this past summer in wainwright, and I asked about being able to wear a helmet camera, and I was told that it was too big a hassle to get people to...

Oh, Sweet! Atleast they find the time to take and confiscate my wine. :rage: Cheers,

The same experience you would bring to the table with your Military Identity.
