Just to clarify, you are considering MP and infantry as NCM, and Infantry O correct?  Because yes you will need at minimum Police foundations for MP NCM, as well as passing the MPAC. Just to add unlike the US you cannot enter directly into SF units off civvi street (like the Ranger contract you...

You're going to hate hearing this, but: - check out the recruiting website (forces.ca, they discuss both, and have videos for both the NCM and O sides of the house) - use the search function, i'm considering UTPNCM, and MP O is one i'm considering, and i've searched through here a little...

That would indeed elicit the piss off response you're looking for, FPS lovers rarely like rock band and the like (at least the ones I know) we abhore those games!  Not cuz of bad singers though ;)

It does come for both systems as well as PC I believe, BUT you can't play on PS3 against someone on Xbox360, not sure if that's what you were asking since you mentioned something about them playing against each other.  PS3 users can only play against other PS3 users, or have a 2nd controller...

Putting more emphasis on PT is good and all, but i'd be curious to know if its actual GOOD PT, or just same ol just shut up and RUN stuff. ArmyRick: you can disagree with me all you want. I still know/see the sizes of troops...majority of the guys are wearing 36inch chest, with 40 being a...

I read it, got my hopes up with the title, thought FINALLY the CF is learning and going to implement more then just running for PT...BUT clued in fast it was US Army. The conclusions the Majow draws are nothing new, the real question is will the military (ours and the americans) ever make...

GCLARK: are you not from Canada? or watch a lot of US military movies? Just to clarify, you don't really go air force or army in the CANADIAN FORCES, yes it is an element assigned to you, but its not a separate service like our american brethren.  You could start your career as an infanteer...

If you go by that list in the QR&O's, the Naval ranks are not to be used (because they do not appear), so it must be outdated or erroneous. You may think it rude/insulting that someone ask for an answer when YOU consider it answered already...but I consider it just as rude when someone answers...

We can argue smart-aleck comment or not all day. but fact of the matter is that you didn't answer the question posed...which was why aren't more air force themed ranks used a la Navy...you just point blank said they are not Army or AF ranks...they are CF ranks...which wasn't the question...

George: no offense, but instead of posting a smart-aleck comment, that in no way furthers the discussion, why not make THAT point but also add on to the ACTUAL question. you're talking semantics, but you're not answering his question.

Vern: they were contacted, and gave the clerks and myself the run around.

Clearly economy and population matter in the size of military, considering our population we won't have a military the size of china unless we have mandatory military service, likewise if our economy sucked and we barely had 2 nickels to rub together we wouldn't be able to field much of a force...

Journeyman yes I meant to differentiate no hook from 1 hook, I don't see how difficult it would be since the Navy already does it.  A tad bit odd, since we technically have a rank/appointment equivalent for each one in between elements, yet AF and army never bothered to get on same footing.

Aviator: that's just it, they are cutting recruitment, because they are also cutting budget...if they spent as much as they should be, we wouldn't be needing to cut recruitment. I think its safe to say we all agree for the population as well as general economy of our country, our military...

Although not having to do really with the uniform I will say maybe the army and AF could use a different term for a 1 hook private like the Navy does in using Ordinary Seaman and Able Seaman.

I'm just wondering since usually things are pretty black and white when it comes to military, you know yes sir, no sir and what not. Since we only spend a dismal 1-1.1% of our GDP, how can we still be part of NATO? it is one of the requirements. i'm also wondering how people can say cut...

I agree in saying this is something very important, and also you need time to learn it and be comfortable with it, and thats another reason why the course shouldnt be given at the last minute (aka just before promotion) I've actually seen 2nd language training forced on french pers, all the...

I fail to see how asking for information and pointing out faulty logic makes me have a bad attitude. the faulty logic being just ask for courses, you don't need a list.  Am I the only one who gets that you can't ask for what you don't know exists? its like someone at clothing asking a brand new...

I never asked for DATES...you can re-read my post. you can't ask for courses you don't know are offered. Other then the flashy cool sounding courses like para, and a couple others, as well as the run of the mill ones such as DDC, QL5, PLQ etc, I can't say I know of many other courses, so it...
