I'm submitting my application this Friday.  I sure hope it isn't all marks - I've got a 75 Average over the last two years of university, and am very involved with the extra-curriculars, but Its still a bit disconcerting. Any advice on how to answer the "Questions" section?  Should that be me...

I've had mine accepted as a valid ID, but mine has been expired since February 2007. My unit (PRes) has refused making me a new one on many, many occaisions. Part of the many gripes I have with the BOR. Grrrrr

I suppose a good follow-up question is: Would I have been notified if I faced employment limitations, or is that something my CoC would have heard, and not me? I'm just curious, as if I have no limitations, I'm a lot less worried about getting in the second time.

My condition is congenital, and for a long time, I have wanted to have cataract removal surgery.  Unfortuantely, some of the doctors I have seen feel that as my life hasn't been impacted negatively, that I do not require the surgery.  Of course, they're not the ones living with it! I suppose I...

Well, I wish it was as objective as that.  To answer the question directly: yes, I can most definitely see out of both eyes. I've been driving (starting in AB) since the age of 14, practicing marksmanship with a rifle since the age of 12, and doing all sorts of other odds and ends that you do...

I know that likely the reality will be simply going through with it, and either getting canned, or getting into ROTP - all or bust, eh? Then there is the bit about an annual medical in the RegF - eee, so stressful! I really love being in the CF, and the last thing I want to do is face a...

Hello all,     To start things off, I'd like to give some background, as I find it helps!  I've been in the CF (PRes) just under two years now, and have had my fair share of employment, etc. etc.  I am employed in a V4 trade, and when I was enrolling originally, I'm pretty sure that I just...

http://www.armycadethistory.com/Banff%20photos/Banff_1970_Officer_staff.htm Just found this on the Army Cadet History site.  Check out the CSoC Officer, Captain, middle left, wearing a "half wing".  I didn't know this same para-wing was worn by CSoC officers as well.

Wolfmann, "Rank:  NCdt MOC:  91A - CIC (Sea)" When was the last time you were at sea?

Hello all,     We've been sending some people for medicals lately, and I was just curious as to what exactly the medical consists of (once you're already in the CF).  I did a search on this subject and couldn't pull anything up for subjects other than enrolment medical.     Do they do the...

Yep, looks like I did! Thanks!

Any chance this will extend to the British Isles in the near future?  I may be spending a semester with my university in Scotland/England - I'd love to keep up with the training, especially since the place in Scotland that I could go would be quite close to where the sister regiment trains!

This all just seems like fantasy-land stuff to me.  You've been given the required information - get your CO to request for permanent T.I. Lee-Enfield No.4 rifles from your detachment.  They'll help you out. The only problem is, I don't think you have the appropriate training or base-knowledge...

Just to confirm Bergeron, you've never served in the military, right? Who has placed you in charge of making up classes and rules to teach your Cadets? It seems to me like you're being given too much free-reign as a CI/CV.

Absolutely! I'll rephrase the question though, has anyone been told about commencing/commenced the training package at their respective units?

Absolutely, it's just that my CoC/Orderly Room (who would be responsbile for running the initial program at the unit) are unsure (atleast for now) whether or not CFSAL is going ahead with it. - Is this the sort of thing listed on the DIN?  Anyone with access care to check? I will continue...

I am also interested in finding out whether or not this course is happening this summer - can anyone advise? I was told that there is a chance that the course will happen, and a chance that the course will not happen - anyone higher up around CFSAL heard the word? Out!

I hate to be tossing out yet another thread from left field, but I've got a question about money (I am a soldier, and a university student after all, so nothing is better except the things that can be gotten with money!). I am a piper (not by trade) and have been invited to be in my unit's...

I know that some trades do not have to take SQ in the Primary Reserves before going on their QL3.  Is RMS Clerk one of those trades where the SQ can be done post-QL3? I ask this because my SQ is in jeapody due to schedualing reasons, and am looking for a solution. Much obliged for the...
