    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    I don't really think I'm all that special in education/career path. I'm a business major, my course schedule is more strict than anyone in arts or social studies but less strict to those in engineering/hard sciences. As for career path, no one is at school for "fun" or for interest unless mom...

    Role of Officer vs job of NCM [Merged]

    All information is based off a reserve ACISS as an NCM Definitely isn't a bad go as an NCM. Depends what you want to do. WRT to your transfer just make sure you are in the right trade. when you swear in. Combining a Component transfer with an Occupational Transfer isn't a route I'd advise. If...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    Which is fine and dandy, but not everyone has military experience and/or understands how the military works. I've already been screened out of one job out of few entry level jobs that I've applied to for lack of relevant experience (even though I will graduate with over a year of full time...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    I'll take a stab at it. For the sake of the argument, I'm assuming that the current Reg-F standard will be the new standard.  First off your 8 year figure is way off, let me explain it. It is closer to 5 (if they apply when they are 16 or 3 if they apply in university) The vast majority of...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    Are you guys actually being serious :facepalm:? With regular force basic being 13 weeks alone who the hell is going to take that much time off work for a part time job? Let's not forget SQ plus DP1, Driver Wheel, Dp2, PLQ. So it would take a reservist at least two if not three summers to be...

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    We could say the same thing about the ratio of Officers to NCMs.. The thing is throwing more money to DND isn't going to solve the problem. A 2 year " freeze" pegged slightly above inflation, while conducting a thorough review is an excellent idea. When you have excellent ideas such as Div...

    Loaded ruck Building up Strength and stamina?

    I`d focus on cardio personally. You can`t even keep up running with your coursemates on basic. I`d be willing to bet a days pay that the running will be harder on your dp 1.0. Though I am a sig op.. So take it with a grain of salt

    Logistics Officer - Sea [Merged]

    Do we not think that the world has also changed? A degree doesn`t cut it these days for most employers. It needs to be in said domain and it helps if you have 2 yrs of experience or more for an entry level job. Thank god for student placements  ;D

    Alberta Schools; pick your own gender and bathroom

    Trust me I'm all for kids climbing trees, falling down and breaking their arm at recess. I've went from wooden playground equipment, to wooden/plastic equipment to minimal equipment "because it isn't safe". I grew up in the 90's-00's. People did all of the above in my high-school washrooms...

    Alberta Schools; pick your own gender and bathroom

    A few issues, Lots of places where built before this "problem" became mainstream and accepted and thus would be cost prohibitive to renovate washrooms to benefit a few whereas I'd argue a greater portion of students would be benefited by buying new textbooks. Point two I'd argue this is an...

    Alberta Schools; pick your own gender and bathroom

    I honestly cannot believe where this world is going. I really do not want to have kids if this is how they will grow up. Everyone isn`t a winner. Everyone doesn`t like you. Everyone can`t be what ever they want You will have to work with people you don`t like. I really don`t understand how...

    Naval Reserves Questions

    What is your plan? Are you using the reserves as a way to try to Navy without being locked into a contract? And then should you like it  do class(a/B/c)? Until/if and when your CT goes through? I'm not trying to put words in your mouth but that is the vibe I'm getting. There is nothing wrong...

    Necroposting - Not always a bad idea

    Could the warning message be updated with more detail and/or a link to this sticky be included in the warning message? When I was a newer user I also thought it would be better to create a new thread/vice posting in older topics because of the warning message.

    Drug use/drug testing in the CF (merged)

    It definitely isn't incorrect, I just found it odd. Might be just me but I personally at some point would of said at one point, my sister/my daughter. I also agree that coke is a major problem but I'm just surpised that sex was mentioned twice before coke and numerous times after. Personally...

    Drug use/drug testing in the CF (merged)

    Why? Why do you say this? When I broke up with my Ex the last thing I wanted to do was talk to her... much less tell her anything that was happening regarding girls/partying. If someone has changed/moved on they have moved on. How does the ex even know all of this? Re-reading the original...
