Thanks PuckChaser, I was aware of this through DAOD 5002-3 and the online CT procedure... My question was pertaining to CT selection. According to NMPeters, Pte/Cpl rank is first come first served wrt CT'ing. MCpl, Sgt and above is merit-based. If, while waiting, I complete my PLQ and recieve...

When I was marking papers at university I noticed that a large number of first year students lacked the understanding of how to create a proper argumentative essay. To remedy this, I gave them a few lessons at the beginning of tutorials on essay structure and noticed an improvement on the second...

Thanks PuckChaser - the trade I'm CT'ing into is currently open. One thought was brought up in the last meeting I had with leadership wrt if I were promoted to MCpl following completion of a PLQ. Does this mean my application would now go through review (merit) vs. FPTP as stated above with...

Thank you NMPeters, I never considered releasing from the PRes and directly applying through a CFRC. I understand what you mean in how a merit-based approach to the CT process would take a greater amount of time if mbrs had to merit through the reserves. 00339

This may not be with the times (I've never attended a ball), but it's interpretation may be applicable to evening public gatherings for entertainment. My advice is that you've gotten to the point where you need to ask and in the future, it's far easier to simply say "no" or at the least ask...

Thank you very much for your input on the current state of things within the infantry - I've heard rumours previously to the matter. I am, however, not an infantryman. I would hope that CMP would push for merit over a fptp approach to CT's in the infantry and military in general? Should a...
