A long time. It depends on the motivation and workload of the personnel involved, notably the adjutants. A good relationship with the gaining unit helps push the follow-up by their adj.

Please explain your comment about how this is terrible for the trade.

RTW through JPSU could allow him to take the position, not get paid while receiving RFC, and transition into it at release, could it not? That seems like the only "head held high" scenario.

1) Any area training center. Wainwright, Meaford, Gagetown. Its possible for it to have been run elsewhere. 2) I've seen a WO in six years with the reserves, exceptional case. A 2Lt is certainly possible, if he had a degree, without going on any special courses. I've had 2Lt's in the reserve...

HF radio is pretty resilient against jamming. We've been using satcomms a lot in the last couple decades, but we still do conduct exercises where HF is the primary means for both voice and data. Moreover, the potential for satcomms to be cut off in time of war would suggest that we will retain...

Exactly. The reason we're in this gongshow is because MES was oversold by the people overseeing MES, and the original misinformation came from them.  It did come from the people working on the file. The "we haven't heard about spec pay, but a decision is coming soon" started there and was...

For the reservist portion of those military members who don't understand the pension, how much of the reserve is actually going to collect a pension? Of those who do, how meaningful will it be to them? Its a hobby that happens to put money in the bank account. While RRSPs are something they...

Where do you live? Ie is there an MIR that you can go to for sick parade? Triage physiotherapist prescribes physio, base physio clinic admin refers member to civi clinic and limits civi physiotherapist to x (no greater than 10) sessions. If you're able to attend the base clinic for treatment...

If your surgeon says he thinks its a bad idea, did you ask further about what sorts of risks you're running if you disregard his concerns? PLQ and CAP are on the horizon, even if you're not looking at a particularly demanding trade in itself.

That's it alright.

Did the RCCS CWO say something he shouldn't have?  :)

Army? I joined the reserve in the 90s and it was permanent loan. Naval reservists (and air?) have been given temp loans as needed.

...and if you move afterward, be prepared to be an oddball without a defined role. I know there were at least two in Calgary, and while they didn't have to switch, they got roles in stores, recruiting, and admin at the comm sqn.

He decided he didn't need medication for his problem, when a medical professional did. The onus is on him to get medical support to substantiate that. The CF expects honesty on the part of applicants, and applicants lie at their own peril. The CF can and should exclude applicants like this one...

Training is dependent upon your trade. Most trades require some full-time training, and all leadership courses do. For example, reserve comm research requires several months of full-time training in Kingston. Recruit courses may generally be taken part-time, as may driver courses. Your wife will...

So this is an extension, replacing the trailers?

Offend, no. Confuse, yes.

What's wrong with the current MIR in Edmonton?

Recruit school is a selection course. Its not geared to cull out a large portion of the candidates, but it is the first check in the box before any other investment goes into the candidate. Lifelong fitness (or career-long) is admirable, but the investment belongs in the period after they pass...

Its been said before - the Legion, as in the old boys' club of WWI and WWII vets, never wanted us. My father, with 20 years service (including Desert Storm), wasn't a "veteran". The Korea guys were less than welcome. It was their club, and it stayed that way up until they got to haggard to do it...
