My personnel thoughts on that are that there are more then enough Reg force to deploy, however things never cease to amaze me.  Cross your fingers though.

To my knowledge the 1st and 3rd will be the main effort on the BTE.  We, 2 VP, will be the support battalion just like Prairie Ram 04. It's a pipe dream to think we are going anywhere anytime soon.  I wish it weren't true but...... :'(

Go in and talk to your local recruiter.  They will be able to explain your options as well as time-lines to you.  Judging by your initial post you are looking at reserves.  They train once per week and 1 weekend per month  (roughly).  As stated above, summer times can be extremely busy.  A...

Anyone else have their OT application in for ammo tech right now?  Just curious of what you have heard for Selection Boad dates.  According to some documents on the DIN the BPSO deadline was as early as yesterday (26 April 2005)  with the Board sitting anywhere from 6 May to 6 June.  As for the...

In fairness to *CDN*Blackhawk, i shouldn't have used the word "whiner".  No difference??? I've done my F$%KING TIME in the Infantry.  I signed up for it and even re-signed at 3 years.  I now have 6 years, 2 tours  including Afghanistan in 2002.  I have never missed an ex, tour, tasking...

But 2 CDO is right.  I don't want this whiner comming to Battalion.  He already knows he doesn't want to be in the infantry?  *CDN*Blackhawk you have no idea obviously.  Why the hell did you join the infantry then?  I could rant about the MP thing as well.  Too easy and too long.  In my humble...

Well....5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Friday. (For me 6 Years ago)  I think it's PT (Physical Training) 3 times per week.  This is where u learn the BASICS of being an infanteer.  You still have tons to learn when your done, your Battalion will take care of that.  Weapons, fieldcraft, unarmed...

Here's my question; I currently have an OT in for AMMO Tech, all applications have to be received in Borden no later then 13 May.  When could one assume that he would hear about the Boards decision?  I know I should be patient but......curious is all.

I've got my mid-april statement right in front of me, I am a Cpl 1 as of Oct 04, my Backpay is $1635.52 (after tax).  My paycheck is up about $90 per pay after tax. Yes $180 total per month after tax :-)

My only real problem is that the Government gets to use my money (extra taxes) for the year to do what they want with it.  Sure I'll see it at tax time but come on.  Some super genius who does pay could go "hmm maybe we should just tax them at their normal rate instead of ripping off 46 %...

While in Battleschool or whatever they call it now, you'll find out for sure, eaxctly where u are going.  Either Edmonton or Shilo (if PPCLI).  As discussed above there is pro's and con's to each.  It will be what u make of it. 

what a great way to start the week......another kick in the nuts by our employer...........god bless the governemnt :threat:

As for reaction I received about not being quite sure about the literal translation, I knew it was 1 of 2 things, and instead of looking like a knob and posting something I am unsure of I choose the easy answer and said I wasn't 100% sure.  I am not a regimental history buff by any stretch and...

lol, any firing on ops, other then snipers, was to ensure nobody was home in the caves before we searched, also cleared (hopefully) any boobytraps that awaited us.  Only contact on op was with the american call signa ttached to us on the right flank.  Really minor, some tell the story...

The CF considers us (PPCLI) the cowboys i.e. wild compared to other regiments.  RCR is a little more straight-lased then us. VP  Is another acronym we use to represent PPCLI  i.e. 2 PPCLI is the same as saying 2 VP.  The literal translation of "VP" is something im not quite clear of.

lol, i wish.  I am in Shilo, MB right now.  It is what u make of it.  Personally, if I had a choice, I would want 3 PPCLI.  They train all the time, go different places, and do not have LAVs eating up their budgets, light is the way. That said I am proud to be 2VP.  2nd to none.  At the end of...

Yes CF will pat to move u to each posting.  DEpending on trade, is how often u move.  Infantry not so much.
