I am sorry, I was wrong. Of course the decision to go for post-sec education will depend on the person, and I was talking about my decision. Sorry for the confusion. "where do you get off telling prospective troops what education will benefit them in the CF?" I don't see where I said this, but...

Well, I don't see the point in learning how to prove the limit of a function exists as x approaches infinity... if you are going into Infantry... Which is the reason I am not finishing University before I join infantry. If you want to get a degree and go infantry.. that's fine, but I was saying...

Yea, I could see that. However, what I was saying is: I am sure if someone wanted a career in the infantry, four years of training/experience would benefit them far more than 4 years of university. If he wanted to become an officer, or a fallback career, then by all means, go to university.. if...

GrimRX... you didn't take into account residence, or food/rent/utilities... If I were to be living on residence, not at home: $5000 for tuition $1200+ for books $6000+ for residence... So, at least $12 000 per year, for the average program. If you were in orthodontics, for tuition, you could...

Why would you want to spend all that time and money on university if you are just going to join infantry after graduating???

Besides the obvious stupidity of the people involved... Since when is a 19- or 20-year old called a "youth"????

Here's an accurate description of what a member of the JTF2 has to wear: http://www.geocities.com/deltaforcearea28/new_page_4.htm This just goes to show don't believe everything you read on the internet ::) I really hope the creator of that site was joking...

I currently have an application going through for the reserves. ... Yes it's taking a while, almost a year since I first applied... I just have to get my knees checked out by the specialist... I have an appointment in about 10 days, then I am changing my application to RMC. My friend applied for...

I am still thinking of appying for RMC, and if that does not work, I will go into Infantry. I think I would have a better time doing MSS than I would doing Honors Physics (which I am in right now). In high school I enjoyed my social class, and I enjoy reading. If I went into Military and...

23007, thanks for your reply. Since you have been to RMC, do you think it would be a good idea for me to finish my first year? Or get into the infantry asap?

Thank you... heh I'm looking forward to going to Shilo then... Never been out of SK AB BC...

Ok, sorry about the squadron thing.. I was in air cadets for a few years, so that's my excuse  ;D Ok then, if I got a job offer from PPCLI, and both Shilo and Edmonton needed recruits, would I be posted in Edmonton over Shilo?

I was told during my interview for RMC what percentile I scored in. I was pretty surprised how well I did...

I am not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but here goes: What guidelines does the CF use in placing someone at a sqn? For example, I am thinking of joining the infantry, hopefully PPCLI, and they are based in either Edmonton, AB, or Shilo, MB. Would I be posted in Edmonton...

I have no problem with starting RMC at year one, as the program I am in and the one I may try to get in are completely different. As for figuring out what occupaion I want... I am thinking JTF2 or Intelligence Officer. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get there.. A BIG part of me wants to...

First of all, this is my first post, and so far I am glad I found such an interesting and informative forum. I am a 17 year old student at the University of Alberta. I am in Honor's Physics, and I am bored of my program... Last year I applied at RMC, and I was turned down, mainly because I...
