They've slowly been digitizing the reserves. That being said AFAIK, you can't get put on dp 1.1 for IST, anyone who is filling these backgrounds is either studying comp-sci or working in IT. Could get some OJT but nothing formal (assuming your unit has the kit). Lst (Line men) is definitely an...

My unit has one, though it is only open during working hours (0800-1600). It used to be open later but they reduced the hours.  Personally I've never set foot in a gym because I don't know what I'm doing. So I just eat properly and do cardio on my own time. What is frustrating is that we have a...

What problem are you trying to solve by not paying people when they first show up? While it really depends, on the unit. I've seen sweet fuck all to pats, to ensuring that the pats are in the field with the unit at every chance possible. When I first joined i got paid for everything. Half's...

Your tuition is like half the cost of the rest of the country ;D. I studied there for a year, it was cheaper to do 8 months in Québec than 4 months in Ontario... plus beer was cheaper. But i do Agree. en ontario c'est la même chose. After about $7k all of the money after that is "free", you...

Thanks for the GPS recommendations, always good to have to spares. I just downloaded those.

Have you tried Tac Nav? I know it is available on Android, likely iphone as well. I've found it works pretty well where I've been. It is around $5 but it was very good purchase.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in the next election. Anyone who was 21 or older on election day, won't be included in these statistics for the next election.  Like wise the 18-20 % vote is the lowest of the three. But I was floored by the amount of posts I saw shared on social media...

A post secondary education fund for your future children?

Fair enough, i'll agree that the was poorly written and I'll wear that. What I meant was experience various, postings, jobs and taks within. No one will be able to experience every task, and posting because the jobs are too complex. Likewise there im well aware that there is a lot to learn on...

I assume that would be a remuster only trade? Personally I think you'd need to have experienced the the entire trade before you could even become to try and figure out how to manage your suborinates careers.

I would assume you aren't getting the weekend off. Then  if you get them off it will be better. (I.e don't book any trips or hotels until you get off the base) On my 3's we had to work every other Saturday as we needed to make up time due to external factors. Likewise one long weekend on my...

My best friend in the reserves went sigs -> sigs, he says it is awesome and he loves it. He suggested I do it as well. He also said that admin side of the reg army is very switched on. I also have other friends from various courses, Arty, Inf and Sigs and I don't know of anyone who is having a...

I agree with the others you are over thinking the hell out of this. Likewise trying to plan how much money you will make as a CLS A reservist is a dangerous and foolish idea IMO. I've looked at the past few year end pay stubs and my my pay difference has been in the thousands of dollars (up or...

Trust me I understand, I re took my grade 12 English class because I for lack of better term, "fucked around" when I took it the first time. But I guess all you can do is buckle down and study hard (which I know isn't the answer you want).

It seems that this has happened multiple times in the past few months, I apologize in advance if someone has posted a similar story. http://kfor.com/2016/04/08/employees-at-oklahoma-burger-king-bust-out-windows-after-prank-call/ Employees at Oklahoma Burger King bust out windows after prank...

Welcome to the real world, where ambiguity and "it depends" is a very real and reoccurring occurrence. Likewise throughout your military career this will be very apparent. From the RMC website: Please note: Students must offer a minimum course mark of 75% for each of the required courses and...

You know there is a box on the security clearance that explicitly says "Have you ever done a security clearance with another government department if yes what level and date". I've stated that I have my clearance with the CAF and never had to do anything else when I was an FSWEP student. (I...

I think that right there is the problem, ROTP. ROTP processing is what late October to late March? When is the majority of potential recruits in town? Sept-April. As a student when do I realize I need more money in the school year? After October, maybe the end of the first semester. Fuck it, I...

You'll find out once you swear in. JUst tell your unit you aren't available for full time basics. Keep in mind that you have a 2 month course as infanteer that will be done in the summer, full time. So make sure you can accomplish that. I believe you can split i into two 1 month mods, but...

For what it is worth OP is a Franco, but good on you for correcting him/her. IF you enroll in time, and if there spots on a summer course you could get to on a full time course. If there aren't spots if you aren't available for whatever the dates are, you will be loaded on a weekend course...
