This is a strange question. For me, anyway, it sounds like it would be a very easy one to answer. "What do you do?" Army reserve. "What is army reserve?" Part-time member of the Canadian Forces. "What trade?" Infantry. "What's infantry?" Part of the Combat Arms branch that specializes in...

MPs, in my experience, have been nothing short of excellent at their jobs. Considering the environment of their profession, and the profession they work, I think they go beyond just doing a fine job.

You have the opportunity to appeal decisions that you do not agree with, but remember that the CF have strict policies on everything. It may have been miscommunication at some level, but either way, you have the opportunity to sort it out with medical staff.

Wait... you're saying MW:2 is realistic, and insulting someone who says it isn't? I'm just curious, for chuckles. What do you find realistic about it? What exactly resembles reality?

The fact of the matter is, you might think you're the greatest person to walk the Earth since Jesus, but nobody else does.

Assuming you're talking about reserves, the unit you join will be the ones planning your BMQ. So no, you have to be assigned to a unit before taking BMQ, and in your case, you'll have to know which unit you're joining before any of that occurs.

Yes. As I stated in my previous post, the CF does offer different options for food, healthy and unhealthy alternatives. During basic, all members get introduced to a class that educates what kind of meals are best for post-fitness activities, but it relies on the member to follow up on that and...

As far as specialized diets go, you *usually* have various options when you're eating and, yes, there are vegetarian options available. As far as culturally specific diets, to my knowledge, they are not offered (but if someone has more experience requesting one, they may add their comments). The...

Don't quit. They most likely won't let you back in without a waiting period.

Nobody knows if you will make it through or not. Assuming things are all equal, I'd hire a guy with better credit than another guy, so take that for what it's worth.

Are you in yet? Because you do not need a civilian driver's license to drive military vehicles, as you will earn a special military driver's license called a DND 404. Although having a civilian driver's license and skill driving a motor vehicle is definitely a benefit before taking the driving...

Got to second this. Absolutely horrendous movie.

If your knee is injured, you won't be going to BMQ until it's healed. It's really not complicated.

Typically, if there is nowhere for your file to go, it would be a waste of time to complete your application, especially since much of it would have to be re-done next year anyway. A reserve unit's recruiter can tell you whether there are vacancies in their reserve unit or not. That is about as...

It is difficult to watch Canada turn into a safe haven for terrorists from all over the world. I imagine even those ineligible for refugee status will be staying in the Canadian prison system, because I doubt Canada will send people back to their home country if they're going to be...

Make sure to write down the questions you'd like to ask. But the first question you should ask, since it's the most important, is the status of your application. Since it's reserves, you could also contact your recruiter(s) and inquire about vacancies. Look into other reserve units in your...

It's best to contact your recruiter. Consider that the requirements listed on the Forces website are minimum requirements only. A person with higher qualifications will obviously be more competitive for the job, and considering the economy right now, the chances that more qualified/more...

How far are you into your second contract? Or first, if you OT'd during your first contract? Use your CoC to submit an application for release. Doesn't mean they will grant it, and they'll probably need a good excuse (I VR'd once, but rejoined later). My WO helped me use a good reason to VR...

Everything you've asked has been covered extensively in previous threads. If you can pass the minimum requirements, you're okay. If not, you aren't. Glasses are more effective than contacts and much safer. Not unless the pull has side effects that may become a detriment to your ability. You...

More personnel doesn't solve the language barrier process. And George, you're right that this may or may not be the threat tomorrow, but it is today. So like everyone is told to do, plan for what we know, be aware of what we don't, and make the best of it.
