Hey all I'm a little confused about the PLAR process and how it applies to me. I was an infantry O (did not complete phase 3) and got out in 2013. I'm getting back in now for the same trade (different unit) and the recruiter is insistent on doing a PLAR. I'm not sure why, as my understanding...

Damn I'd be super jazzed with that. I'm technically public sector (post secondary ed) and we got 5.5% over 4 years

Maybe they just left us out to avoid the CAUKUS jokes :/

I got out in 2014 but I'd go back in a heartbeat if they tore down my old 100+ yr old armoury and built something like this.

Recently sworn in Ocdt here. My process took ~4 months which, based on the bits i gathered from other new recruits was actually a little on the quicker side. Not entirely surprising since I already had my security, cfat, medical, and interview done and up to date from a prior attempt at ROTP...

I recently finished reading "A Line in The Sand" by Capt Ray Wiss. Its a very well written, journal style book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get a better grasp on what Canadian soldiers are actually accomplishing. There is a strong focus on the effects our soldiers have...

Question! Why black out the rifles?

A little digging on the Google brings up this thread from 2005 over at AR15.com http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=16&t=239584 There's talk there of something called a starburst round. Do any of the experts out here know if that's at all similar to the observing rounds mentioned...

I would strongly suggest removing your contact info from your post. Easy way to get spammed, trolled, etc. As for the actual question, recruiting centers are always the best place to check out. The forces.ca website is also a very good resource.

Thank you both for your time and patience. You have put my mind at ease. Next stop, CFRC!

Thank you for the link, I found it very enlightening. I had no concept of just how important these so called "staff skills" truly were. Please bear with me but I have one more question. As an Infantry Officer am I expected to keep my soldier skills on par with those of my NCM's? If my...

I also have some questions pertaining to realistic expectations. I'm curious to know how much paperwork is handled by a reserve Infantry Officer. I'm fully aware that it is a part of the job and its something I'm perfectly willing to embrace but it does worry me that I could end up stuck in an...

Probably not. I've already got two years of uni done so I'm probably going to go join a reserve unit and eventually either CT or DEO into reg force. Best of luck to everyone who has yet to hear and congrats to those who've been selected.

I'm assuming what he meant was that I wasn't selected for whatever openings were available.

Just called CFRC Winnipeg and found out I wasn't picked. I was told the reason was my trade choices were full (Armour, Artillery, Infantry).

I just called my RC (Winnipeg) and was told that they don't have the results yet but they should be available "very soon"

Oh wow definitely wasn't expecting that. Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Unlocked the Arghandab region then bought a few medals that gave reputation boosts. Went to my AOR and Arghandab was locked down without having done anything.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
