Absolutely. I just meant they will be Reg F, making their Cpl pay until they graduate and are promoted to 2Lt or Lt (or navy equivalent).

Adding to this - if you go to RMC after making Cpl in the reserves, you won't be in the reserves anymore. RMC is intended for Reg F/ROTP. Regardless, getting paid to go to school is a step ahead of your civvy counterparts.

You can be a naturalized citizen. You can apply for citizenship when you move to a new country, which when successful would make you both a citizen AND an immigrant.

The problem i see with your plan, regardless of what trade you choose, is that your current vision is +7.5 dioptres, which will put you at V5 and is a no go for ALL trades. Speak to your recruiter and make sure they will accept you at +7.5 before you make other plans.

Have you looked at the website and at all the trades available? with your university degree you can choose from many NCM or officer trades. ead up on the different trades, talk to a recruiter and see what you are interested in.

BMOQ and BMQ in St Jean both have the option with staff permission to attend religious services at the chapel in the Mega. There is usually a Catholic service and a more non-denomination service. And the padres serve coffee and timbits!

Google Battle Pro -- there is an app and a webpage I believe. It should have enough to get you started. BUT: if you show up at BMOQ knowing "too much" you may nt have the easier time you were hoping for. All this stuff will be taught to you. That's why the first letter of BMOQ/BMQ is B for BASIC.
