There is a few of us kicking around.

On my IAP and BOPT I had a couple of 19 year old RMC bound cadets that had some Reserve time... One in his few years in the Reserves managed to spend a year as an assaulter in JTF 2 while the other spend two years in the UK training the "British Intelligence services."  Both would fervently...

The rumour is that they are crying to figure out how much to claw back from our raise to account for some public service classifications giving up their severance.

That's the way 32 brigade used to run it when I was in Toronto...

Medical Officer Training Plan(MOTP) and Dental Officer Training Plan(DOTP) candidates come in as 2Lts.

You would be surprised how many don't... Including pers associated with various efforts to upgrade the Auroras, when I pointed to a certain capability that was being briefed to one individual at a conference down south, his reply was "Why?  That's for hunting submatins.  Sub hunting is a Cold...

My point was the the Aurora has other roles, namely ASW, and that domestic industry cannot presently meet those roles.  Building a made-in-Canada aircraft with all the capabilities of a P8 would be cost prohibitive and would take decades.

The JUSTAS project is on hiatus until a number of issues are sorted out, the biggest one of which being the PY requirement.  The VCDS allocated 150PYs for this capability, the Air Force wants over 300....  Hence we won't see a MALE UAV operational for a long time to come.

Normally.... However, in theory a Cpl could be directly promoted to a Sgt but that has not happened in a long time. I know an individual that got promoted directly in the early 1980s...

I've never heard of it happening.  They have sent people fresh out of RMC to do Masters degrees, but those positions are very limited and competitive, as well, you incur additional obligatory service as a result.  A better bet would be to do your bachelor's degree on your own and apply for MOTP...

In North Bay: I used Susan Nosko as my agent this summer and she is awesome.

Commissions directly to LT and Capt depend on the trade and military experience.  As a DEO with no previous service you would only get commissioned to a rank other then 2Lt if your trade calls for it.  While most of those trades require advanced degrees, not necessarily, since I believe MPs get...

In my experience the person writing your PER has the most influence unless you have sufficiently impressed a very senior person who then becomes your "godfather."

I've seen it happend before with ROTP civi U members.  One individual i particular left his belongings in civi storage.  You may be able to get the military to pay for it, he was.

The AF uses ATIS techs in sys sdmin roles.  Some comms rsch pers are employed as sys admins on high side systems.  Both trades are used heavily at CFNOC in network operations roles...

The CMA(Aurora Replacement) project will be the next political hot potato of defence procurement.  Watch for the pressure from industry(read Bombardier) to award the contract domestically.  If you go domestic you may get a half descent ISR package but no weapons capability.

Being CELE you can always ask to stay in Kingston, the school or JSR..

The CM will give your staff a tentative list about 2 months before the course finishes.... When they share with you is up toyour CD

It is a tactical CIS system, developed by the Army, other then that they will show you all you need to know to use it.

We took a picture of one of the instructors and one morning the whole section had it...  He just about lost it!
