Hey, I'm almost in the exact same situation, I've been in te reserves (combat engineer) for almost 2 years now, and considering CT'ing to reg force navy as well in the next couple of years, just not sure what trade yet, leaning towards boatswain or sonar op.

This news has come to shock to me, and fellow engineers from 48 FES, I dont know all details, about Pte. Desrochers incident, AFAIK there have been no problems with him at the unit.  I will try to keep you here posted with details, at the discretion of Pte. Desrochers.
