One man, one kit... I know it. I should have been more clear; for example, in basic we had to buy a whole bunch of towels for inspection... Can I toss these towels that I never use that are taking up space in my kit bag?

Didn't know where else to ask this... But anyway, Just graduated from battle school (felt like just yesterday I was wondering what to bring with me to BMQ) and I'm leaving for pet (1RCR) tomorrow. I'm currently going through all the military kit I've collected over the last year and I need to...

I'm gonna be there September 2nd.  Flying out of Toronto on the 31st.  Good luck to everyone! We're all gonna make it :)  P.S going for Infantry

thanks for the info everyone.  The MCC hasn't called yet, so he probably won't call today.  Just gonna keep pushing for infantry

But what about the other way around... I can't see the army letting someone who they spent a lot time and money on training to fix vehicles just up and leave

Thanks for the info!

Id only be 23 after my contract is up... plenty of time to pursue another trade.  Is it possible to switch into infantry after serving my contract length? Edit: When I applied for infantry, the Sgt at the CFRC said there were hundreds of open spots... Is it just the amount of applications that...

Thanks e-friends,  I suppose I am just looking for an issue where there isn't one!  What does the MCC ask you when he calls? (what does MCC stand for...if anyone knows)

I thought I had to put 3 down at first... I should have asked.  During the interview the Captain asked me about the vehicle technician trade and I stuttered because I went into the interview only really prepared for the Combat Engineer and Infantry trade! So this wont hinder my chances of...

I applied last week (mind you, I already had everything completed because of ROTP application earlier in the year)  for 1. Infantry 2. Combat Engineer and 3.  Vehicle Technician.  Got a call today for a 5 year contract for the v-tech trade.  The more I thought about it, I realized I wouldn't be...

I was wondering what the best wrist watch, for BMQ and military lifestyle in general is.  The watch has to be: relatively inexpensive (I am a student and work part time, willing to drop a couple hundred at most); something that looks presentable (I can wear in my fatigues and dress uniform)...

I didn't know that at the time (about insurance) and I just wanted to lessen the fine, no need to be a cock about the thing PrairieThunder, I bet you've never broken any rules in your life. ! I've never gotten a ticket before, so I didn't know the process fully. Plus, 110$ is a lot of money for...

I borrowed a friends car for a couple hours and got a ticket for the license sticker. It's not the fine(150$), I just don't want it on my record for insurance purposes. I am applying for infantry soldier

Does anyone know/has anyone been given an idea of when the next infantry selection date is? I am asking because I have a court date in September (speeding ticket) and I don't want to be put off even longer because of it. I am on the merit list and if the selection date is before September I will...

Thank you for the concise answer.
