    MP to RCMP

    The reason the program is under review is that we currently have a 2-3 year backlog of recruits in the pipe. Recruiting is only sending forward those files that are squeaky clean, a lot of really good applicants are in a holding pattern at the moment. As a result they haven't run any lateral...

    West Coast Reserve Infantry Officer / DEO Confusion

    Kip/ Westcoast, I think that at this point the key elements of this performance objective have been learned. As I mentioned previously your eagerness is admirable and I don't wish to snuff that out. There is a lot of really good information on this site...there is a lot of crap as well! Your...

    West Coast Reserve Infantry Officer / DEO Confusion

    Kip/Westcoast- I appreciate and admire your eagerness! But D&B is a serving snr officer and a Seaforth. His advice is solid, to find out how solid search his posts (time spent on recce). You might then want to wind your neck in, follow advice and engage your eyes and ears. While your family's...

    West Coast Reserve Infantry Officer / DEO Confusion

    You should speak with the Adjt. He is currently on leave. He will connect you with one of the Pl Comds or the Coy 2 i/c. Give the Bn OR a call at 604-666-4379 and ask to be put through to his voicemail. Don't call the OPS O or NCO as they are way to busy. Noneck

    West Coast Reserve Infantry Officer / DEO Confusion

    Kip, The regiment you mention hasn't existed in a long time. The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada do exist and are located at 1650 Burrard St in Vancouver. If you are intending to join the Seaforth's do your homework, you will be coming to my platoon as a member of the unit's Depot Pl. I would...

    Paid parking DND property

    At RCMP HQ in Ottawa members pay for parking. It will be the same for the new HQ in BC once it is finished. I wouldn't be surprised if TB had mandated it across the Fed Govm't.

    Just finished reserve infantry DP1, now what?-survival guide

    This has to be one of the most constructive threads I have read on this site! It follows a close second to the thread by Boondock Saint a few years ago in the Infantry Thread. Everything he says for both the new PRes Infanteer off of his DP1, to the newly returned guy from Tour (I was that guy...

    Reserve news papers of interest for reservist candidates

    Rheostatic- That publication is excellent, it kicks the arse out of the 39 CBG rag. I like the way they promote/push  tours and leadership courses. I may have to forward this link, so that some of our folks out West can see what our pub should look like. Noneck

    Positions for TF 1-11?? Any Ideas.

    You may want to consider PSY OPS. All ranks are trained to be operators/disseminators and it gets you out of the wire. You work in small teams and are usually attached to a larger formation for operations. The basic gig is influencing the fence sitters, either via printed means, audio (Radio...

    Four U.S. police officers killed in ambush in Washington

    The support we rec'd from our Southern brothers and sisters after Mayerthorpe was outstanding. In this day and age where the majority of civilians like to express outrage at every police action or inaction, we have to support each other. Recently there hasn't been much to make my back...

    Workup Training

    I canvased my Pl last week for names, whether this was just a staff check for planning purposes or something else that remains to be seen. Did any other CBG's or units also miss out on the short notice deployment that came out around Nov11th? They were looking for a number of troops Sgt-Pte, 11...

    London (England) Trip Accn: Union Jack Club <vs> Victory Services Club

    My wife and I stayed at the UJC in 01 after going on a cruise from Dover. We had a standard room with a queen size bed and an ensuite. It was quite basic, the location was great. I think it cost us around 55 GBP /night for the room. I was quite happy with the hotel and would stay there again...

    Civilian Police Officers Joining Reserves

    I am both a member of the the PRes and a RCMP member. In the PRes I am currently the Depot Pl WO at my unit and have two soldiers currently going through as police recruits and military recruits.....it's very hard to commit to both. They are both now on ED&T until they finish their RFT. It will...

    Bertie Patzer anyone?

    If you get a hold of the RCMP Veterans Assoc in Winnipeg for D Division (Manitoba), they would most likely be able to point you in the right direction. I have seen various Assoc publications and there are always questions such as yours in there. Noneck
