I'm just hoping there is enough to keep my interest. As was explained to me, this particular Reserve unit I went to has no entitlement for my trade but do have some 'general maintenance' slots open (not the correct term but basically slots where they can fill with ex-EME). Not sure what that...

Thanks.... ;) ..no emoticon for crossed fingers...

After some research and a bit of soul-searching, I'm getting back in. Tonight, I went down to the local Armoury, met with a Recruiter and filled out a 'Verification of Service'. Once someone somewhere agrees I am who I say I am we'll take the next step into the Reserves... Cheers and I...

I stand corrected...situps, pushups and step test...that's all that's required to get in. Personally, I'd be too f'n embarrassed to try to join the military and not be fit enough to pass a basic fitness test. I can only think that the ones who are truly worried about the how/when/why of the...

....my two cents... I'm ex Reg and looking to get back in to the Reserves. I called the Recruiting station today to ask about what physical testing I would have to do and was told push-ups, sit-ups and Xpress test...that's it. Once you get to basic you do the 2.4km run. I asked if that was...

I think being MXC fan qualifies you to build obstacle courses...but, I could be wrong.

I think I have been called out...and stand corrected....now leave me alone or my buddy with the leather chaps - and his buddy Chuck Norris - will be paying you a visit!  ;)

Wait a minute...I just went to his site and I see he has somehow broken into my house and taken a picture of my bedroom!!!  ;D

I've seen guys wearing their beret like that in Ottawa.... ;D

Congrats...keep your head up, stick on the ice, ears open, mouth shut..yadda yadda When you get tired of walking everywhere you can come to the light and go EME  ;D

I got out a few years ago and was an FCS tech...I can't speak for LCIS. As an FCS tech, if you are with a first line unit you will follow the troops around...you are their support, remember? You may do your repairs in biv or on site depending on the equipment and/or situation. An FCS Tech on...

EO - formerly FCS - are attached to almost every land unit in the CF...chances are you will go on tours. The job taskings are much the same as field taskings they do on ex now....fix things, guard duty, rear area security, etc.

A signing bonus would be nice....but Reg force again will never happen commitments being what they are. I'm hoping to spend a good long time in the Reserves but I need to be honest with myself. If I can't find a local unit that has a position for which I am qualified (TQ5, JLC/JNCO MCpl FCS) -...

One for all you EME glass crunchers out there.... Z = Zero deflection Adjustment of a sight exactly parallel to the axis of the bore of the gun to which it is attached.

Where?

WTF?? The overwhelming percentage of believers in the worlds religions due it of their own freewill with no coercion whatsover. Further, the overwhelming number of 'mainstream' religions are peaceful....preaching brotherhood and inclusiveness. I'm Anglican. Is the Archbishop of Canterbury...

No, they don't...while there are certain articles in labour law stating that a Union employee is entitled to a certain level of representation there are also articles pointing out exceptions. Specifically, by joining - and paying dues - an individual assigns the Union as an agent in any...
