After your initial trades training it is up to you. Your training sequence looks something like this: BMQ - 26 days (ish) Full Time or Part Time BMQ - L 14 days (ish) Full Time or Part Time Dp 1.0 - 60 days - Full Time only Dp 2.0 - 1 week (online) - this course is a waste of time and you...

You could always ask your chain of command that is what they are there for... In any event I'd wear something nice, but not too nice that if it gets ripped or stained that it matters. A polo and a pair of khakis should do the trick. Though I've seen Pat's walking around in shirts and ties at...

Done.

I've got two "what if's" for you. Senario 1 Unit x hosts a DVR WHL at their local armouries for the brigade and invites units y,z,a,b and c to attend. A member from unit Z drives a member from unit X and they get into an accident on the way. Would only the member from unit Z be covered...

What are their concerns? Perhaps you can answers to some of their concerns on here. You can't be deployed until you are 18, so I'm not sure what the real concern would be. Essentially telling your parents to "Fuck Off"  isn't the best course of action because you presumably live with them...

Just to open the can of worms. How do we propose to "compensate" members. Do we tally up every minute we spend drafting correspondence, forwarding and responding to emails.  When does the tally reset? This is important because as we've discussed you don't get paid any more for 6 -> 24 hours of...

Seeing how it is already March and you haven't applied to school you are not setting yourself up for success. I'd suggest taking a 5th of year of highschool and go from there, that's what I did and I have no regrets, except not taking French/additional science courses) You could join the...

Just be honest and be prepared to explain your past.

As a CLS A army solider. I've always assumed that once it i hits 0001 I will get a new half/full day depending on how many hours I work after the fact. Typically where we work it is either a 1900-2200 (parade night) or a 1900-2359 (friday), 0001-2359 (Saturday), 0001-17000 (Sunday). So most of...

The Biggest challenge I faced at my post secondary institution was the sheer lack of spots. You typically needed a B+ average or higher to even be accepted into the program and even then the pickings were slim. They'd pre-accept students from Highschool for COOP which began the summer of 2nd...

Depends on your trade.  I was just talking to some infanteers and evidently there is a weekend dp1 for infantry going on right now.. whether or not that's an option for you is another thing. Be open with your recruiters as they might be able to get you on a reg-f course not during the summer...

Is a system like this necessary? Or would it cause senior members to release to not hinder their primary source of income? I know that there are lots of reservists that want to deploy but haven't had any opportunities to do so. I also know of a few reservists who delayed releasing because JT...

Not an engineer, but a reservist. It is honestly is a lot of it "depends". The majority of the training takes place in the following two time frames: A) During the "Summer" - May -> August (Full Time) B) On Weekends -> September -> April That being said if you are available, you may get the...

This is why I don't think it would work or very well. Where I work, there is 2 other people who  manage the pay/benefits for the entire organization. I'm being trained to replace one of them when they retire. I think that there are lots of unanswered questions. Legislation is all fine and...

I mean it isn't a guarantee that the member will even get in to ROTP. When I joined, both units that I seriously inquired with didn't have a problem with me when I said "I'm really interested, but I'd also looking to re-apply to ROTP." Plus the members personal situation could change, and they...

Why not apply now? I understand that you have a lot of weight to loose. But there are a lot of factors that may slow down your application: - Trade my be full for the year - Credit check may take time - Security/Background Check make time - You may have a medical problem you need to sort out...

I have a similar feeling towards the issue myself. I wouldn't even begin to consider myself a veteran until I went on a tour or did some serious time in the reg-f. Which is also why I'd never even consider joining the legion. At least not for the next 40 or so years. Maybe when I'm retied.

It's what 11 weekends? So 11*2 full days plus 11 half says for a total of 22 + 5.5 = 27.5 days. I'd wager you'll work two weekends a month, on average one should fall on each pay period. But pay can be delayed for a variety of reasons so I wouldn't count on the money always coming in when it...

Where I grew up there are far too many legions, especially given the population density. Search royal canadian legion in Google maps over south western Ontario and you'll be shocked. (See attachment) We did have many bases in the area (Clinton, Centralia, Ipperwash to name a few and there was...

Im sure other trades are different and may have more favourable outlooks. Check the SIP, look into what repercussions exist for releasing and reapplying.
