I know a MWO that just got his commission (CFR or SCR, I'm not sure), but I do know for a fact that he doesn't have a University education.  It seems to be a real grey area concerning commissioning from the ranks, but as far as I'm concerned (personal opinion), they do tend to make the best...

This might be a bit of touchy subject, but I'm taking a class on Military Professionalism, and it seems that many educated individuals feel that officers are professional, and NCM's are not.  Now, taken at the higher rank/responsibility levels, such as LCol and above, this may be so, but in the...

What can you tell me about the UTPNCM program, Chaos? :cdn:

To straighten some points out: As a UT, and a former Sgt, your take on the UTPNCM program is lacking some finer points.  A MCpl and above can CFR, and anyone in the ranks can go UT (assuming they have enough time left to fulfill their obligatory service).  The difference between CFR and UT is...

The "older" guys in the trade still refer to it as MRT, but it now goes by "86 ASU", and it's still in Trenton (not sure of the building number, but it's still the same location on the north side of the base.

The Int Officer people I know all seem to have a history or poli sci degree.  UT is the way to go if you can get. :cdn:

The Alert tour is up to 6 months, with a possible voluntary 3 month extension.  When I was up there, the GD positions were for Reg Force combat arms trades (ie. an arty and armoured pers).  There were approx 60 pers there, but I don't think any reservists.  They are always hurting for people to...
