Thanks! cheers

Hey, Im sure this has posted on this forum before, but I dont have time to look for it as I am on my IAP course in St-Jean. Anyway, I openned my big mouth in class and asked this question so my captain retorqued that I had to find the answer before wednesday morning. So if someone could just...

Coming from a non-RMC engineering student, there is no way your profs will let you use your graphic calculator for exams.. although it can be a VERY handy tool. If you were an electrical or computer engineering student I could tell you exactly what you need but I'm pretty sure you'll be fine...

Seeing as the recruiting center wasn't calling, I decided to go ahead and do so myself. I got some good news, I'll be a Combat Systems Engineer in the Navy! I won't be going to RMC though, which is dissapointing, but hey, life at civy university has its advantages, heh. I guess it would have...

Lesson taken, and I completely agree with you... I think during the second phase for engineering you spent most of the summer learning and doing what every person in the regiment has to do during exercices. I'd just like to add, since it obviously came out wrong, that I just wanted to say that...

hey, In the regular program, the army pays for your studies and during the summer you recieve training. After recieving your diploma, you serve for the same amount of time that you were sponsored for. I didn't hear about any such program for the reserves; you work both during the school year...

OCdts are sometimes treated just as harshly as new privates.. at the local reserve engineering corps, when I was looking into joining, I was told to expect to be down in the dirt with the rest of the men during exercises... which is not why I declined btw :) Just decided I'd rather go regular to...

While as many have mentionned proving your worth at war will most definately not make you a great politicia,, I still hold a lot of admiration for the old "soldier, scholar, statesman" model. Wouldn't you tend to respect a politician more if they had respectable experience in "real life", such...

I understand exactly what you are saying. I guess being at sea CAN be as bad as I've heard for some people, as well as being the total opposite for others. Just wish I had prior experience to have an idea what its like - definately not hoping to be one of the people who are just not cut out for...

Now I just need to decide which element, heh. I actually have no serious prejudice against any and think all have their advantages. Being an Electrical Engineering student, I'm hesitating between being a Combat Systems Engineer in the Navy, an Electronics engineer in the Airforce, or a Comm...
