    Wearing jump wings after not serving and Re-enrolling

    You're okay Jumper - Have a Good One! Not much difference between a 17 yr old cadet getting them or a 19 yr old private.  Takes the same step out the door and the landings are just as hard. The four years means nothing, you can wear them forever unless para 22 in the above post.  (I stripped 2...

    JOHN!! Are you out there?? Oh John ...?? New Brunswick John?? Freddy John??

    OK thanks for helping me waste 10 minutes. I've never been on Kijiji, but then I started reading some of the posts in that 'connections' area.  And I haven't stopped laughing  :D "I was passing through. We locked eyes, you have very bulgy eyes and a yard full of trash. I decided to add some of...

    New Zealand postal service to 3 days a week

    Considering how little actual real mail I get at the box in an average week, I don't see why they don't do this here in urban areas.  (Rural may be different, I don't know, I live in a city) We usually only pick the mail up out of the box on Fridays, then bring it back to the house and dump at...

    Can I do all my training requirements at my home unit and not have to go away?

    If you are not available in the summer time (prime Reserve training time) then I'm not sure how you are going to make out.  Some reserve units do run in-house basic courses over the winter (nights and the odd weekend) but these are directed at the private soldier level.  If you're leaning more...

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    For your third choice - social worker - you won't be doing that at RMC. To get into that classification you need an MSW, and no social worker degrees are done at the College. 9er domestic is a mil social worker, got her MSW at Carleton U.

    Whats a good buy and whats a waste?

    Between my wife and I we did three tours there, and bought a boatload of stuff. She bought the carpet, but it took her 5 months to do so.  4 months getting to know a specific dealer, and then a month to haggle the price out.  She loves to haggle, so I think the game of it all was more important...

    How hard is it to be assigned to a specific base?

    I don't know what trade you're going into, but I would hope it is one that at least is found in Winnipeg.  What I mean there is if you're going hard Navy, or Armoured crewman, you're not going to go to Winnipeg, no matter how much you ask.  If you are in a purple trade such as admin clerk or...

    Honours & Awards (merged)

    There isn't any rank limitations of MSM I have ever seen. I was a Sergeant when I was awarded my MSM in 1993, for actions that occurred when I was a MCpl 4 years earlier. After reading some citations, you will find that is common for junior ranked persons (Pte-Sgt, Lt-Capt), MSMs are for...

    "Fury" WW2-era tank movie remake stars Brad Pitt, Shia Lebeouf

    Tank movie?  Dang I was hoping for some "Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos" action.  The image from the link looks more like a diorama/model/painting than something made with real people. I wonder what the 'Deadly Mission" will be.....break into a bank and liberate a bunch of gold bars?

    Rebadging

    I think it is highly unlikely that the CM will use up one of his cost moves to move a Pte across the country.  What is the guarantee that you're going to stay in after your next contract is up?  That'll be his point of view. I had a couple Ptes in my company in 3 RCR that asked for rebadges &...
