'Cause that definitely looks cool....

As of the time when I was sworn in they were changing from MOC numbers to MOS ID numbers. eg. infantry used to be MOC 031, now it's MOS ID 00010 Silverbach..... are you seriously not going to bother searching for the answer? It's been covered in detail in a pile of threads. Since I'm feeling...

kinda makes you wonder how manys rounds are fired in order to kill a single enemy.

Thanks for all the great responses, guys, Roy in particular.... you've provided me with a lot of information that I've been curious about but never thought to ask my recruiter. As an aside, I think this was a textbook hijack, performed masterfully by someone who's never really done it...

I'm glad that you're glad ;) ... I'm sure that SOMEONE out there saw my post and thought "promotion-seeking opportunist." who knows.... I do sincerely believe that soldiering is the life for me, so it's good to know that promotions will come with a good work ethic and pleasure in what I do. I...

  Roy, I knew I'd get a response like yours... and I knew someone out there would assume I'm merely a promotion-seeking opportunist. Believe me, I'm not, and I realize that not every man who joins the infantry is going to see the rank of WO. If I were interested only in rank and promotions, or...

Word on the street is that 2VP is the most understrength unit in the Patricias..... I was just talking with a friend of mine who's a member of 3VP... and he says that they're (3bn) full strength. That being said, I know that 3RCR is supposed to be getting priority for new recruits for the next...

Good... I don't want to be hanging around doing nothing for weeks on end. When you say "Straight to battleschool..." is there a break of a couple weeks or anything, or do I move from SQ to battleschool pretty-much right away? BTW, anyone else on this forum heading to the Jan. 16th course?

Thanks, I shall take pleasure in crushing his dreams  >:D

Sorry to give this one a shove back in the direction of NCM's... I've come across a few references in the media of "MCpl bloggins who has been in the military for 14 years.".... am I staring at a bleak career of little mobility? The prospect of being a Mcpl after 14 years in the infantry is...

Applicants to the Geomatics Technician occupation must have completed Qualification Level 4 (or equivalent) in another military occupation or all apprenticeship requirements in a civilian trade. Hence, my question.

I'm also not sure about that either.... the website doesn't mention it, but I searched this site and found a post from April that says it is, but I'm curious as to whether or not that's still the same. Kincanucks, I'm looking at you..... ;)

I'm posing this question for a friend of mine who is interested in joining the CF as a Geomatics Tech...... he's pretty convinced he can join because he's a civilian surveyor. I think he may be kidding himself, because I looked on the recruiting website and it says that a civilian must meet all...

I'd poor a whole carton of chocolate milk into that kids xbox, then I'd feel an uncontrollable urge to club him like a baby seal.... of course if this was my kid, he wouldn't act like that.

Take every opportunity that you are given throughout your day to get your heart rate up.... take the stairs, walk to the store every night to buy yourself the ingredients for your supper rather than buy enough groceries for a week, stow your remote control away somewhere, go to a gym, or if you...

Here's a question..... If that happened to a soldier in the CF, would he have the same opportunity to continue his career?

I agree... it's about time they make it an issue. It's a damn shame that so many of our veterans were forgotten after they served.

Funny, the Canadian War Museum only opened in June of this year..... If you are speaking in such glowing terms about the old war museum in Ottawa, then you have to go to the new one. The old one looks like some guys garage compared to this one.

5 1/2 hours of sleep? All at the same time?! Oh.... man, I'm SOOOOOO looking forward to that. As it stands now, I only get about 3-4 at a time.

I'm looking forward to my basic course on the 16th as well.... I'm hoping I don't run into one of those know-it-all recruits who's going to get my course's pass' revoked....
