Good Luck!

Common Army Phase is referred to by a number of names: CAP, Phase 2, etc.  IODP 1.1 is the Infantry Officer Development Programme 1.1 (Dismounted Platoon Commander) and would be considered the "professional development" period for Infantry officers (at least that is the common usage here on the...

Ostrozac: Not unless something radical has changed in the last 5 years.  You will be paid as a 2Lt for the duration of BMOQ (and later, should you not pass your initial course), and this will retroactively be counted toward your "time in rank" assuming you become qualified BMOQ.  You'll most...

I'll break it down - As an OCdt (which you will be until the completion of Basic) you have not received a commission - Ergo you hold no "superior" rank over even a Pte and everyone you meet in the military technically outranks you.  This is often misunderstood even among serving members.  You...

Would you be willing to sell parts of it, or as a complete setup only?

As they periodically get offered on here: Anyone interested in parting with their 64 Pattern Ruck? 

Did you still have it available?

Revival of the thread - of sorts. Currently the only requirement for ATOC is AJSO Mods in their entirety complete.  A peer and I have both been on this course recently and this was the only prerequisite they were looking for (outside of nomination).

On the flip side - I'm currently living in one of the houses you describe (right down to the exact description) but it is just my wife and I.  For 950 in Edmonton, I'd be lucky to get a 2 bedroom apartment for the same price. Always pays to do some research and look into the local rates before...

Long before my time - but this was the explanation given to most my peers and I when we were introduced to the Regimental succession planning process.  Seeing as how I enrolled over the age of 25, I appreciated the honest assessment/commentary - along with the emphatic "Be so damn good they...

To elaborate a bit on what FJAG was hitting at (and it will be slightly different depending on what trade, etc): In general there are no glass ceilings - what is a limit however is a requirement for you to demonstrate skills in a particular rank/position before you progress to the next. ...

The two posters above me hit most of the points, but to add: Yes, there are options for full time employment with the reserves - however, they can be few and far between and planning your career off of it would likely be unwise (You'd need to be at least trade qualified, which takes some time)...

While I am by no means an expert on it - I think it comes back to universality of service.  The limitations are largely based on suitability rather then direct discrimination.  While I am willing to accept that some individuals with a mental illness (insert any number of things in here) are more...

If you haven't had any luck finding personal experiences on here, you haven't been looking particularly hard (in my opinion).  There is a fine line between having difficulty finding answers and being too lazy to look for them.  Using the Search function or looking at the list of forum threads...

There is a wealth of information on this site regarding your questions - take a few minutes to actually look for the answers, as they have been discussed at length several times. Take a look in the "personal stories" section for some insight, as well as the "recruiting" section.  You'll find...

And you are familiar enough with the recruiting system to make these claims?  I would suggest staying a little closer to your lanes in terms of personal experience.  In particular, your summary of what CFAT scores and "limits" is wrong.  A high score (in all tested areas) will make you eligible...

There are so many variables involved in your question that an answer is going to be hard to give.  It will depend entirely on who you are as people. I went thought a very similar situation - we spent just over a year apart while I finished my training and she finished her degree.  It worked for...

I'd strongly recommend against going too far with the artistic flair - Keep in mind that while it may seem entertaining to write it like a graphic novel, it will most certainly reflect on your professionalism.  Would you wear a costume to your first day of basic? Your course staff are going...

Not sure how other units do it, but it usually comes down to position - If you have a reason to need one (which is subjective) you will likely be issued one.  In a Rifle Coy our signalers had one, as did the majority of the Veh Crews.  M203 Gunners usually had one as well, to off set the...

ETIS was hinting at the problem with it just being "written down somewhere" - it will be in your best interest to actually go speak with your orderly room to find out exactly what THEY will need to see before they confirm it. To my understanding (and how it worked for me): you will need to make...
