    Cadets or Reserves?

    In my job as a Recruiter I have seen Pte with 2 years in have no more leadership than what they came in with off the street. A Cadet with 5 years has a wealth of leadership experience. Is it strict military? Of course not but Officer leadership comes from BMOQ. You need to have a base on which...

    Cadets or Reserves?

    Something no one looked at. If join the Reserve and want to go to RMC under ROTP you will have to do a CT. If you put in for a CT they are taking up to 18 months to process. If you apply ROTP "off the street" the Recruiting Centre does ALL your processing. If you CT its left up to your Regiment...

    Stuck in a terrible situation

    Otis is correct the BMQ is to start on 12 April and its RegF. If you have to tell your landlord that you are no longer leaving keep this in mind. We know that you need to give notice to move out or break a lease. When you are enrolled you bring in a copy of your lease with the requirement...

    [Infantry Reserves] First Time Poster!

    Already down. Apparently it wasn't in keeping with the theme of Black History Month. The Commodore thought the white hood was a bit over the top. Said offendind mannequin has been released and no suitable replacement has been found.  Besides most people around here will see the highcollar whites...

    If you have done any Staff positions you will have recieved a Service Number. Don't confuse this number with an employment numer or billet number. The SN starts with a letter and has 8 numbers bhind. Your Cadet SN will be the one you will keep for your career. When you come in to the RC bring it...

    Paid vacation

    Just to add to boot12. I got a call yesterday from the ULO. He asked me if I can gainfully employ a couple of ROTP and NCM SEP members. Seems they used up all their leave and now need a place to go while school is on break. Of course I said yes. I feel honoured to be able to bring these fine...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    That will be up to the Occupation Manager. When you submit the application paperwork a PLAR will be sent to the OM. At that time he/she will decide what you are given credit for.

    [Infantry Reserves] First Time Poster!

    The Army Reserves are indeed full right now. After 01 Apr we will know how many each Regiment will be looking for. My advice to you s go down to or call the Regiment you are interested in and talk to a Recruiter there. They have all the info on Reserves. The Recruiting Centre has SOME info on...

    Can NE1 write normal?

    Tanks bye! I still don't see how this helps with the basics of education. This looks a lot like CO-OP. I can see it being good to see what education is needed to do a particular job. But isn't grade 12 a bit late for that? I can see this course being better done at the grade 9 or 10 level. In...

    Can NE1 write normal?

    Maybe they should actually teach the three "Rs" in school. I am seeing more and more high school graduates come into the office with transcripts that have useless credits on them. No math or English. Instead they have 2 or 3 credits from a course called "Navigating the Workplace". I have no...

    Paid vacation

    The breaks are the standard university breaks. Check with the university your attending for the breaks. Most are the same but some have it a different times.

    ROTC in Canada?

    Wasn't sure what school it was. I just wanted to make sure if the OP was in the US they understood. The only institution of higher learning I ever went to was the Comical College of Nautical Knowledge in Halifax.
