Even so, a unit transfer is never guaranteed and it can take quite a long time to transfer over (plus you'd be wasting a unit's time and a space that someone who really wanted to join the unit could have used instead). Upflames: if you really want Infantry just wait out for the E&K to have an...

Yes, the Windsors are Armoured  Recce (why carry your kit, when your kit can carry you? ;) ) Still, Infantry is a good trade, good on you for wanting to go with it. I would suggest calling/dropping in every now and then if they're not hiring since leaving them the paperwork otherwise would be...

Go down to the E&K and talk to someone. I know some guys in the unit and from the sounds of things they're not recruiting much (*cough* the Windsors are though *cough* ;) ) Your best bet would be to go down to the unit and ask if they are hiring at the moment. Some units are, some aren't.

Some things I'd like to point out: Co-op is not open to just the Infantry (maybe it is in the GTA, I'm not sure) Other units may be offering a co-op but it all depends on the individual unit. You need to go around and talk to the units and your guidance counselor to see what all is available...

You do realize the post you replied to is six years old and the person who made the post hasn't been around since 2007?

I believe the requirements are the same for both cook and steward.

I used "ASVAB for dummy's" to help prepare for the CFAT and I did just fine. :P

Weekends off depends entirely on your performance during the week and your staff. Remember, weekends on BMQ can be taken away at any time for pretty much any reason. So we can't really speculate on if you'll get weekends off or not.

It's possible to be in the reserves and go to school at the same time, it just takes time management. I went through Law and Security and Police Foundations (currently in my last semester of PF) and I didn't have very much difficulty. Also don't listen to people who say you can't do it. You...

Granted. You do, but she's already taken. I wish I won something other than the chance to play again in roll up the rim to win.

The sad thing is that they are legally allowed to protest.  :(

The bare minimum you need is Grade 10, but it's a very good idea to get your High School diploma first, you can't get very far without one. Take what DirtyDog said with a grin of salt. Sure you might only need Grade 10 to get into the Infantry, but what about if you want to switch into another...

I worked with members of the CGG last summer as a part of the Ceremonial Guard, they seemed like a good group of guys, very professional (most of them) and highly motivated. I'd recommend that unit because the people there that I worked with seemed really switched on.

I've never been to Gagetown (I'm hoping to go there this summer as OPFOR) but from what I know of the military is that on course you're given 3 square meals a day. Eating, especially on an physically demanding course like the Engineer QL3 is very important, you need all the calories you can...

I believe most units are running BMQ's in the fall and winter months now, that way they can get troops trained faster and onto their DP1 as soon as possible. I know at least here in 31 CBG they don't offer summer BMQ's anymore (except for the Navy reserves) Though BMQ-Land is offered during the...

Huh? What are you asking? It doesn't matter what the grip test equals to, it's not a hard test to pass, I personally can't think of anyone who failed it. Don't worry about it, there are more important things to work on, like running.

Not that I know of. As far as I know it's all run during the summer. I heard rumors of a weekend DP1 course but I've never seen one run, and I doubt one will ever be run. DP2 however, can be done on weekends. You need DP2 to progress onto other courses like PLQ. So no, you don't need to take it...

Well for DP1 you basically learn how to drive a G-wagon, use a radio and do some Armored Fighting Vehicle recognition. From there you're usually employed as a driver or observer at your unit. Your job will be simple, drive the G-wagon around and learn as much as you can about the job of a recce...

I wear glasses and my eyesight isn't the best but I still do the job just fine. In fact, quite a few guys in my unit wear glasses and they have no problems. As far as your BMQ goes, you can probably take it during the fall/winter on weekends. Though in the summer you'll have to go away to a...

Why do so many people want to re-do basic a second time? Why go through all the pointless c*ck  and take classes on things they already know how to do. There's no point to it. So what if they're a bit harder on inspections in some cases. It all depends on the course, some staff are more relaxed...
