32 CER and 32 CBG are two very different organizations (one is a Unit, the other is a Brigade Group).  One is where you are applying to join and work at, the other is the Higher Headquarters (Think regional office). Not to assume, but is it possible one request is from the Unit, the other from...

Primary Reserve "recruiters" are really just the initial contact point for you trying to apply - once you've filled out the application and handed in the paperwork, you'll likely be contacted by a recruiter with the Canadian Forces Recruiting Group (from a local recruiting center - CFRC).  The...

From my (albeit limited) experience, this is very true.  They may spend less time tied to their desk, but just because you can't see a senior officer/NCO working doesn't mean its not occurring.  I'm often impressed at the sheer amount of work my current CO does from home long after all of us...

I certainly agree with the level of importance PERs have - but the lack of availability of a CO does have profound effects on how things typically run in a Reserve Unit.  What Lumber describes is not an unusual occurrence - While I doubt a CO would take the cavalier attitude of "Write it up and...

Not an expert on this topic, however have had similar issues with a number of soldiers come up. In general (and I'm sure someone will jump on this thread with specifics) - if you are not medically fit for an OT into a trade, you are not eligible for that trade.  To my understanding there is...

Might be more appropriate for the radio chatter section... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKZRFDCbGTA I had a similar conversation as an OCdt with a MCpl while in basic, when I asked him (after the course was completed) "how bad our rooms really were":  "Your room will never be perfect, but...

Somewhat related, but from the other side: Class B Position Medical requirement: Be Med Fit Applicant has an G3, O4 and elevated risk - Universality of Service. Member does not meet Med requirements to be within own trade (which is the same as advertised position) Obligations for the Employing...

Apologies for the step into the Recruiting forum - but we've already answered this question somewhat recently: http://army.ca/forums/threads/104289.0 Searched for: "army.ca artillery soldier" posting on google.  It was also the 5th option doing a search for "Artillery Soldier" here on this...

There are a number of questions that a DND 663 would answer with regards to your situation, in particular whomever the reporting officer is who will state if your injury was directly attributable to military service (which will take into consideration if you were "on duty").  Way too many...

As someone on the other side of the application process - Absolutely start the process as soon as you are committed to being a reservist and what that entails.  Suprisingly, we have lots of people who apply to the Unit who, after making it through the lengthy application process, decide a few...

Disclosure - I'm an Infantry Officer currently working with a Reserve Unit. NCMs are technical specialists, Officers are Operational specialists (at least in theory).  If you are interested in doing and seeing direct results (and a lot of it) I'd recommend the NCM route.  If you'd rather plan...

As an Adjutant in a Unit, what Pusser says on is absolutely true.  I occasionally speak with an MO, but usually to clarify restrictions on a member's MELs.  Every CoC that I've been a part of is primarily focused on "how can this member be effectively employed" and "what can be done to assist". ...

I might be in the minority, but I've never seen the direct benefit of "continuous marching in full gear" as a means to improve cardio and/or get better at marching.  I've always suggested a rigorous running schedule and every once and a while throwing the gear on in order to mentally prepare you...

I'm also an Adjutant (and an Infantry Officer) - This is what the "Staff" side of being an officer looks like.

You are asking these questions in an official recruiters forum, but want opinions from a variety of individuals.  Many would be happy to answer them, but this particular area of the Forums is restricted to answers by recruiters only.  Please post it in another accessable forum if you are wanting...

I've had it become unusable on iOS 8.1.2, if that is any help.

Having visited a few times while making the Edmonton - Victoria trip, this is really sad news.  Here's hoping they find a new place to display the peices soon.

While technically you CAN, most will advise against it (I've never seen the benefit of wearing everything simultaniously - you'll do enough of that anyway).  I'd toss it all on to see how to get it to fit comfortably a few times, as during the course there will be many times when you will need...

Happy to hear it - Hopefully you're able to resolve whatever prompted the urge to contact them.

1. What do you mean by "A good time to join"?  A good time to be hired?  A good time to be in the CAF?  A good time to be a Clerk?  As we have no idea what you would determine "a good time" to be, I have no idea how to answer your question. 2. Consolidation of resources and reduction in spending.
