Not a whole lot of info, keep us posted.

I know I'm resurrecting a dead thread, but there's got to be more poems out there! I've got one, which specifically refers to the US cavalry, but could still apply: Halfway down the trail to Hell, In a shady meadow green Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped, Near a good old-time canteen...

Yep, got it. Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks everyone for your help! I have a meeting scheduled with the GGHG recruiter in about two weeks, so hopefully if I do run into any trouble at the recruiting centre I can get him to help out in some way. He also told me that 16 is the age with parental consent. From what I can gather, it's...

Yeah, that's what the recruiter I talked to said as well. That you can only join at 16 if you are applying through the co-op program.

Yeah, I guess that's a good point. One last thing. I just have a word document on which I have copy and pasted the CANFORGEN. Will that be good enough to bring down or will it be better to just tell them to look it up?

Yeah, I'm thinking of calling the unit I want to join, getting them to give me a letter or send the CFRC a letter, then going down again and hopefully talking to a different recruiter, but if I do end up speaking to the same one, show him the CANFORGEN and hopefully get in? Does that sound like...

While I am glad to know that I should be allowed to join at 16, that doesn't change the fact that the CFRC Toronto won't let me. So, back to my original question, is there any way I can avoid dealing with the Toronto CFRC? There is an Oshawa CFRC in my area, but that is for 31 CBG, and if I'm...

I will do that, but I'm not sure it's quite relevant, since other recruiting centres are allowing people in at 16, and since I am over 16, how would I fall into the category of "Child Soldier"? I have also researched the prerequisites to joining the CF Reserves, as evidenced below. I removed...

I don't want to hijack a thread here, but there seems to be copious amounts of threads on this subject and I don't want to start a new one and bring down the mighty wrath of the mods, so here goes: I went down to the CFRC Toronto today, having received word from the prospective regiments that...

If he has people who guard his feet, and people guarding his horses, the real question is who guards the rest of his body??

I've seen too many potential recruits on here say the wrong things, and I've done the same myself. I'm determined to not make that mistake again.

Thanks, I should probably worry about getting in and all that before I even think about trying to get into the mounted unit. Thanks everyone for your information.

I can imagine! Me+My Brother+No adult supervision=One partially waxed leg  :P

Yeah, I've pretty much decided that I would be equally happy doing Armoured Reconnaissance as I would be in an Infantry Regiment, and there's something about the Governor General's Horse Guards that just draws me in. And by the way, first test down, let's hope the other ones go just as smoothly. :P

Whoa, this thread sure got away from me quickly. Jeez, I leave you guys alone for two seconds and this is what happens? :P Anyways, I was told by the 48th Highlanders that they have spots open, and I haven't heard anything back from the GGHG. What I was wondering is can I obtain the forms from...

Thanks, completely overlooked the events section.

Okay, I called the GGHG, now if someone could give me the 48th Highlanders' parade night I will be all set.

Thanks, I will call them right now.  :)

Hello all, I recently contacted the Queen's Own Rifles about recruiting and was told that they are done recruiting for 2012-2013. I have now sent emails or left voice messages at the Queen's York Rangers, Governor General's Horse Guards, and the 48th Highlanders, and received no correspondence...
