I'm trying to get onto this BMOQ, they're talking about not training any of the ROTP folks this year!

I just got the call! Unfortunately, I didn't get an occupation - I'm Land Operations Support. Best day of my life.  Ever.

Congrats Clark!  What grouping?? I caved, and called Kitchener today.. haha - turns out my file is still "at selection" because they need to review my prior service. Hmmm.. I was told to call back next week, so hopefully this is all leading to good things.

Ah, touche! I didn't google it, because I thought there may be some provision in the Dress Regulations authorizing it. Thank you sir.

Alright, lead in to this is an Army News video, so here it is: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/6_1_1_1.asp?id=2342 You'll notice that the P&D fellows we sent over are all dressed in the fantastic Service Dress (No.2s) of the British Army. My only question.... How in the heck?  If it...

All I've heard from an acquaintance out in Halifax is that one of this chaps friends was called today, and told he's been accepted to RMC. I'd wait until the end of the business day tomorrow if you're going to call - just give them time to call you first, I know they prefer it that way.

I said Army, but told them I'd be open to anything.  I've been army for a few years now (not that it really matters), but I like the Army INT stuff the most. If they don't offer me INT (although that was my only occupation choice), I hope they come back with something else (a counter-offer, if...

I'm writing papers... practicing my analytical skills! haha

I'm just listening to "I Wanna Be In the Cavalry" by Corb Lund to get me through it, haha - as the Intelligence Branch is descendant of the Corps of Guides - a cavalry force! Just for everyone's information.. apparently offers are now getting sent out in Halifax too. Edit: now getting sent...

Ah yes, thats what it was.  I'm really hoping to hear soon.  From what I can tell of the other INT candidates on here seem competetive - I'm just worried there are 50 more "just like us" out there!

I absolutely hear you on that, and I too am skeptical about the new system. Lets just hope we're both at CFSMI in a few years!

You should ask your recruiter tomorrow dwalter. I know that because of my situation as a senior applicant, and a CT, I was brought in under last year's recruiting system - but the standard for the majority this year is the new occupational grouping standard. Land Ops, Land Support, you get the...

Ditto - I'm going to wait until next week, and then call.  I'm sure they're busy enough calling people if they've got news, and they may not have the information from Borden yet.

Component Transfer - I'm in the militia.

Yes - this is the manner which which people are being enrolled this year.  New thing they're trying. I am one of the exceptions, as a "senior applicant" and a CT.

Congrats! Mind telling us for which occupation - and which CFRC your file is with?

I'm anxious for them to call - I'd like to know either way, but I'm a kinda ( ;)) hoping its good news! I think I'm going to wait a week, and call my CFRC Det if they haven't called me by then.

Hence the white mess kit being authorized for RegF/PRes/CIC, and the white patrol dress (undress) being authorized for the militia - just as the blue undress uniform is.

Vern I'm afraid I have to disagree.  We're confusing two patterns of dress here - mess dress, and the undress uniform. The CIC types there are wearing mess dress - authorized for the CIC. They are not wearing an undress/patrol dress uniform.

I think we're having a bit of a lost in translation moment here... The undress uniform is the patrol blue uniform, or undress uniform.  This also exists in white, in the form of naval high collared whites, and an identical pattern worn in tropical climes.  This is identical to the Dress...
