I had originally applied to the Argylls to get in as fast as humanely possible because the Rileys were full. Then I realized I could not finish processing fast enough for the Argylls and so I switched to the Rileys before my testing began because that was the unit my friend was entering in the...

Regulars will always be a priority over reservists. Knowing that, and knowing all your appointments at CFRC for the application process are booked after regulars I would say it's safe to say they are not sending reservists to BMQ especially with such a high turn over rate. Why invest more...

I was talking about the Chicken fencing. Also, a lot of people on these forums have been saying the Leopard 2 has a weak point in the turret (maybe older version? because I don't always see that point on all tanks) where RPG's can penetrate the ABC protection. Would vech techs work on chicken...

I am happy you decided to look at the link I wrote and read the congressional report on military personnel instead of relying on wikipedia and their references.

The person used the word "questions"? If it was me I would be worried even if it was just nothing. If it's the interview good luck I hear the regulars interview is 2-3 hours (Study the trades you picked and remember what they do in the interview).

Wouldn't we need a larger military than for our strategic needs since our current size was only suitable for peacekeeping? I remember a report a while ago saying we didn't have enough vehicle technicians to manage our tanks for example. I can imagine it being a lot easier managing a tank in a...

Long story.

While I said do not mention I also said write it down. I said do not mention unless you had qualifications for the TIG incentive. If you mention it while it's already on your file to CFRC you'll sound like a jack ***. It's like telling CFRC that you were captain of your football team and you...

In the future I would advise against using wikipedia quoted sources. This website has the actual numbers of 5.4+ million servicemen including their TIG and their % by rank. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/u/joining_up.htm#s1

I have not read the entire thread but based on the original question I would say our military should be anywhere from 0.5% to 1% of the countries population. The United States has around off the top of my head 2% of their population in the military which, is about 6 million of 300 million...

By the way I apologize for misreading the original article. I had thought it meant recruitment straight out of high schools and that they were fine with recruiting in universities. I agree information sessions in high schools should be allowed and the only reason I applied for the Canadian...

I hope your kidding since his administration passed a bill making him and his administration gain immunity from war crime trials. The interesting point raised from the debate is "are out of uniform CF personnel off duty allowed to express themselves freely?" One side of the coin says they are...

Read what you quoted again please. 1) I said the reserve unit. 2) You do not talk to your reserve unit about the recruitment incentive you talk to CFRC. 3) Do not even mention cadets to CFRC or they will laugh at you unless you are a master cadet (gold star) or having an occupation/specialty...

Backstory   Well, I had been thinking of the military since Grade 10 and joining it so I did years of thinking and research. I didn't have any real efforts to go into it until my first year in university where I saw the Canadian Forces booth at the university fair. I asked them some questions...

Sorry but you are still wrong. I wish you read my post on how to correct your mistake rather then post again but here I will show you the results. http://img260.imageshack.us/i/picture3y.png/ http://img42.imageshack.us/i/picture4xe.png/

Your incorrect about the Grade 10 education jobs however, I did not know about the group opposed to universities and colleges especially since many enjoy the military option and information opposed to 10 years of loans for education.

You are incorrect according to the Canadian Forces recruitment site. Jobs available to people with a grade 10 "education" (not eduction).                                 Aerospace Control Operator     Aerospace Telecommunication & Information Systems Technician       Airborne...

Honestly, Mike I would be fine with it as long as kids finished their high school education. If military recruitment got to a point where it was pulling kids out of school for Regular Force before they finished high school then who would agree with it? Why can't the kids learn that it's not OK...

That's why we have recruiting centers I would imagine. For people to get correct information. It takes that extra little bit of maturity and confidence to go to the recruiting center for information vs. a recruiter being at your high school next to Moe's Waxing Willies Car Wash and Cutting...
