Hey everyone, I finished my application and I am waiting for an email from the recruiting office concerning the next step I have to take. With respect, Michael K.

Hey C.G.R., I am currently in the beginning stages of applying to the Ontario Regiment as a Crewman. Maybe I'll see you there. I started another thread under the Recruiting Process section  :facepalm: where I asked if anyone was a member of the unit. You must have started this one before me...

Thanks scriptox, My plan is to switch is to Regular Force Combat Arms after university. I am not sure whether or not I will go the Officer or NCM route ???. University is more of a backup plan in the event the military doesn't workout for me for whatever reason. For the moment I am applying for...

Hey everyone, Since I have received so much help from this forum I want to I've something back by creating a detailed step-by-step journal of my entire recruiting process. Some background: -always wanted to join the military -family really stressed post-secondary education instead of joining...

OK, thanks. With respect, Michael K.

Hey everyone, I attended a CSTC but only as a course cadet, as in I didn't teach or instruct. This means that I do not have a Service Number, correct? Thanks for reading this. With respect, Michael K.

Hey everyone, I'm currently in university and have decided to join the Ontario Regiment in Oshawa, Ontario. This way I can experience the military life/work while getting my education. Is anyone on here with this unit? If so, I had a few questions about joining the unit? To those who serve...

Hey everyone, I have read this book and it's definitely one of my favourites. I'm curious though, if anyone knew Mr. Olafsen while he was in the Reserves in B.C.? If anyone could share their experiences, such as meeting him or serving with him, that would be awesome. To those who serve and...

"Infantry will get boring after a while"  >:( Oh, and Happy Halloween everybody  :pumpkin:

Thanks Spectrum, I see exactly what you mean. I try not to mention anything about JTF2 when talking to recruiters or CF members because, as you said, it makes me sound very juvenile and immature. For now I will focus on my immediate goals of Infantry and worry about everything else when I...

Thank You for clarifying. With respect, Michael K.

Mr. Seggie, I'm sorry if I crossed the line with my question. I asure you it was by accident. Could you please clarify your comment becasue I don't really understand what you meant. Thank You. With respect, Michael K.

Hey Steve-O-, You mentioned that some people may not pass the JTF2 selection but they might pass the CSOR selection. Does that mean that CSOR is 'easier' or are CSOR instructors not looking for certain traits which JTF2 are looking for? I understand that both units are extremely difficult to...

Hey everyone, I had a question about running, specifically WHY you guys (CF members run). Now before you guys go thinking I'm stupid (if you haven't already ;)) let me explain: To my knowledge, the whole purpose of PT is to better prepare soldiers for combat/deployments. From watching combat...

Michael, what I said about Infantry not leading to anything in the civilian world is just what I've heard from some people. I never really agreed with it due to reasons that others have mentioned on this thread. buck13, I have really considered joining the reserves. I will go down there in a...

Hey Cog, I am in the exact same boat (or LAV III ;D) as you!! I'm also in my first year of university and I don't really know if its for me. I've always LOVED the Army and everything about it. Anyways, good luck! With respect, Michael K. ps. IF you ever read this you will probably be done...

Thanks for responding so quick! Michael, thanks for the input. That helps a lot. I always hear people say that Infantry doesn't lead to anything in the civilian world, yet I hear a lot about "ex-special forces" types joining Blackwater and similar groups. Larkvall, I have thought about joining...

Hey everyone, This is the THIRD >:( >:( time I have typed this due to my computer/myself erasing the entire post :'(. Anyways, "if at first you don't succeed, try try again". I don't know who said that or if I quoted it right but i'm sure you guys understand. I am looking for some...
