That's fair. I know it can get discouraging, but if you really want it, you will get it. It may take some time, but if the CF is really what you want, you will get your chance. Just remember that it may be difficult getting in, but it doesn't get easier once you're part of the CF. It's always a...

Don't be stupid. The fact appears that there is a disproportionate amount of casualties in smaller towns in Canada then there are elsewhere. Dunsky is saying that he would like to "look into" it, and you're calling him out on manufacturing a crisis? Seriously, come on. He's interested in...

I'm going to give you a reasonable response to your otherwise unreasonable comments. Infantry does not require a high school diploma, but you will be less competitive to those applying for infantry who already have one. In addition, it will hinder your career in the CF because there are many...

What?

It's actually very self explanatory. If your trade is closed, they cannot process your file further.

If I'm not mistaken, you will have to complete a Component Transfer from reserve to reg force and that may take a while. Most of the training you complete as a reservist may have to be re-completed as a reg force member.

It all depends. It could take months, or up to or over a year. It's impossible to predict. With that said, an application to the reserves may take some time as well, as you may or may not be accepted to one prior to April 2011.

... You don't follow American politics, do you? You might be right-wing, but don't use that as an excuse to remain ignorant.

It all depends. Just because you join regular force does not guarantee you a job with the RCMP afterward. It will definitely look good for your application, but it isn't going to make anything guaranteed. You could look into Military Police, as it's directly related to the RCMP; however, it's...

As I was told during my application, if you can pass the tests and thrive as a member of the CF, you're good. If not...

I'm not taking anything away from the reserves, but when it takes less time to get promoted from Pte to Cpl, plus less actual training, you can't expect to keep your rank in the reg force. They do take this into account. With that said, if you've proven yourself in the reserves, you may keep...

If I'm correct, a reservist may get promoted to Cpl after 2 or more years of service. And no, once you're a Cpl in the reserves, you may not still be a Cpl if you transfer to the regular force. I don't recall the "time-in" requirements to keep your rank, but after 2 years as a reservist Cpl, you...

High schoolers have always wanted infantry, from as far back as I can remember.

Be in good shape for BMQ, but remember that it is primarily psychological.

Wait, what are you nervous about? Being called to trial during BMQ, or being identified by the subject? Most charges take a LONG time to register. You work loss prevention (so did I), so you should know this. It takes MONTHS AND MONTHS (up to or beyond a YEAR) for charges to go through.

He probably did, and found this thread.

1. Yes, if you have time management skills, you may be able to balance high school and the reserves. No, not all military trades are available to you. Many have specific requirements that a high schooler does not have - you can find requirements at www.forces.ca. Your application consists of...

While I agree the government should never support religious events at all, if they do, they should not support ones that can be viewed as hateful. Mackay is right, in my opinion, to cancel this particular appearance. This does NOT mean that the government is censoring anybody, it merely means...

If the CF regs don't specifically say you can or cannot paint your boots, then to me, it sounds like this should be up to your CoC. So with that said, I believe the correct response would be to go to your chain of command and bring it up to them. They will give you a definitive answer on...

On top of that, you also have to consider, as far as setting yourself apart from the group, anything helps. Do you do sports? Start. Are you in good shape? You better be come next year. Are you in a leadership position? Get in one. You get the idea.
