    Got a hard question

    With that said, the CF Recruiting Centre will probably not even touch your enrollment until this issue is taken care of. They will likely process your application, but as far as enrolling you or offering you employment, they will wait until your legal requirements are met.

    Reserve to reg or sign up straight for reg force?

    If you're still in college, you won't be able to attend classes when they offer you a position. Recruiting times vary. Unless you are applying for ROTP, you should join the reserves and finish your schooling, then look into possibilities in the regular force at that time. Remember, should you...

    Able to join?

    Check the CF website (www.forces.ca) to check and compare vision requirements. I will warn you though, if you're in grade 9, you aren't qualified, let alone very qualified. Cadets won't get you in (although it will help), so I recommend doing some volunteering and sports as well. I find that...

    SF: Lower profile = easier funding cut target?

    I don't agree with you at all. Your posts are usually good and informative, but this one reeks of a CF member "looking down his nose" at the public. I think people would take an interest in it, if it was presented to them in such a way that they understood. People are, for the most part, not...

    Restrepo: upcoming movie documentary on US outpost in Korangal Valley

    I just recently viewed it as well, and I thought it was fantastic. One of the best military documentaries I've seen, particularly modern. Very raw, honest, and emotional. I think it's as close as you can get to being there, without being there. You shared the fighting, the work, the losses, the...

    metaly deranged

    Well, same reason you replied to me. But with the TS replying to you with a link to a Metallica song... I'd like to request clarification of what this thread is about.

    There's no real way to appropriately respond to this.

    JTF2 & AFG (merged)

    Well, there have been several suggestions that there are things the media should and should not report on (referring to special operations, etc). That is restrictive, no matter how you look at it. It may not be wrong, but it is restrictive.

    JTF2 & AFG (merged)

    One irony I would like to point out is the humored reference to the CBC as the "Communist Broadcasting Corporation", when at the same time, those same people are calling for the media to become more restricted, like it would be in an actual Communist society. Hypocrisy at it's most divine. I...

    MP qualifications

    Don't speak too soon. You haven't completed the course, and it isn't necessarily "testicular fortitude" that determines a pass or a fail.

    Will my poor vision affect my choice of trades?

    Laser eye surgery?

    Question - re: release

    I'd contact those you have the contact info to, and perhaps they can contact your trainers if necessary. Remember, you aren't releasing from the place you're being trained, you're releasing from your unit. And chances are, you won't "get out" of the training you already booked by releasing, if...

    But you're saying it more clearly and better than I. So feel free ;)

    Question - re: release

    It can take any length of time to be released. The reason they expect you continue attending training is because you haven't been released yet, and those are your obligations. It may sound silly, but the fact of the matter is you probably should have informed your new job of what your...

    Question - re: release

    Talk to your reserve unit, your CO. Chain of Command. The reasons you are leaving are irrelevant. It doesn't matter why you aren't doing it anymore, so don't worry too much about it. People leave for all different reasons. I don't know for sure regarding reserves for the rest of your...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    It's actually not about that at all. South Korea speculates that the North Korean action was in response to a SK military exercise off that island that the NK government protest.

    North Korea (Superthread)

    I see this spiraling out of control rather quickly.

    Waiting 3 Years to Finish Basic Training.

    I second that. It simply isn't working for you now. Although you knew the requirements before enrolling, everybody knows that it's very tough to predict how it'll work out in actuality. I'd consider leaving on good terms and, if you decide, take it up after your schooling.
