No, they just waste their money on accommodations and a variety of other luxuries that don't make much sense, either. I'm going to make a great airman, aren't I?

Interesting - I didn't know that, although I've heard that there are "changes" going on within the branch. Whatever that means.

Understood. I have a friend who OTed to Int Op, did the air phase and is now employed at an Army based collection centre in Ottawa. That being said - beyond the common phase, there is element specific training. If I could stick with Army and further enhance that knowledge, I do think I'd be more...

True. That being said, I am far more comfortable with land and land doctrine. I'm more inclined towards it and I have a year's OJE training as a pseudo-Int Op in an infantry battalion. I want to go Army Int O, at some point - assuming that I was not selected for this year (which appears to be...

Any new messages on this front?

My offer came in for Int Op (Air). I'm hoping that I can switch the element to Land but, if not, I'm going for it. Good luck for all those still waiting!

I'd like to believe your source. My optimist side would like to, anyway. My realist side is throwing up his hands in the air. I suppose we're back to, "Wait and see."

If you had to rate this source on a scale of A-F, A being the best and F being the worst.... how would they fare?

That was about three days after I left theatre. Good on you for diffusing the situation; I imagine it was hard to keep guys on both sides from taking the "easier" way out and shooting eachother up. What a shit show that would have been. Out of curiosity (if it doesn't breach OPSEC), where in the...

I am. Haven't heard a thing, yet.

Inshallah this will be so. I'm kind of gnashing teeth waiting, everything else being on hold.

I was told not to expect things before May, realistically speaking. Crossing fingers.

And not only that, but we're not getting the guys to replace them in the battalion. I don't know if it's just a 2nd Battalion/Shilo thing or if it's CF wide, but it's troubling when we're getting in far less than are going out.

Thank you very much for the quick replies. Much appreciated!

A few friends of mine in my Bn are interested in possibly joining the US Army or Marines as infantrymen. None of them have citizenships, though, and when they looked online there wasn't a whole lot of information on the possible processes, if any. If it is possible for them to join, would they...

Talk about streamlined technology, Cougar!

Not really from boot camp at all... but I guess for a civilian that doesn't matter much. It's all about Task Force training.

Whoo, alright. I probably kind of got ahead of myself in calling my kit 'substandard', but yeah, it is very used. I wasn't sure if I was going to have to return all of the kit before CTing, so I held off on replacing it. Thanks for the help!

Overwatch - was it this model? From the description on the  website, it looks like it has a pretty significant load.

Basically, once my app was handed off to a "transfer officer" working at that department in Ottawa, things were handled within a week. That's what takes long - the app going from the system itself to a person who is given the file. But they probably have hundreds of these to deal with, so it...
