I hear ya Bruce, when I was a Tpr, one of the best Sgt's that I had was given the same type of choice, go to jail or join the Army. Still one hell of a guy as a retired SSM!

Sorry bout that, I wasn't meaning it in a "PTE" I am better than you, I meant in as thanks Pte as that's what he said he was in Afghan. anywho sorry I meant no offence, besides I am an OCDT now I am not superior to anything!! Next time I will use spell check too! Hey Grey the comment wasn't a...

My apologies, I was talking about 1 Svc on Ex (yes two different situations) but they do alot of basic soldiering stuff, ie sections in defence etc not just tech stuff! As for spell check, it was a quick post I din't have time to hit the button! thanks Pte! Oh ya I have been to Afghanistan too...

OCDT now, but last month was a SGT, you can find out that info quite easily, just lookas some past posts! I spent some time with CSM Scales, some of you older RCR types might rember him! As for bad advice, I was just trying to say do what intrests you, not what you think would look good on a...

Ya, see what I mean about some people they have a narrow view on life, I am speaking from experience, I was infantry before I went armoured, so I am well within my lanes, oh yeah my father in law is a Sgt and in the recruiting section of EPS and I know of another person in the CPS recruiting...

Ya that might help you out, I know a few Edmonton Police who are ex army/airforce/navy, but curious as to why infantry, nothing against them, but there are sooooo many trades why go in with a limited selection? Why not get a trade and maybe stick around? or try what interest you, not just what...

I was doing crossfit with the Snr NCO's for 3 months, we did it Mon, tues, Wed, sports on Thursdays and ruck march of Fridays. I found that my cardio was shite (for running) I have since been on my own doing crossfit Tues Thurs and running 6-10 km Mon, Wed, Fri. A couple of the other Sgt's have...

OLGA, I will type slower for you! Maybe you are confused!! Read the title its not about reserve stuff he/she asks about IAP!!! I was trying to point out that depending what LEADERSHIP courses you have (whether reserve or reg force) you can get an IAP bypass! so if you did a reserve plq, botp...

Olga, ummm ya. You are talking out your butt! BOTC and IAP are two totally different courses! As I prev stated some people can get an IAP bypass, but not a BOTP (C) bypass, you stated that res officers might get an iap bypass but still have to do BOTP (C) that's what I was saying!!!!!!! Perhaps...

uhhh actually geo if you read all of peaches prior posts, you would see that they were suggesting moving (for instance) 408 from Ed to cold lake, so thanks!

OLGA, a BOTP IAP you already did is equal or better than a PLQ that's why they (BORDEN) look at everyones files. So it is like I said, if you have a plq or equivalent or higher you prob get a bypass on IAP! That was straight from the BPSO's mouth! You would still have to do BOTP, unless like in...

Arty, sounds liek you and I are doing the same thing! I am also doing my basic level (can't remember the term) French, I do 2 hours in the morning. I am lucky, I also get to do do pt on my own at 14:00hrs.

I have seen the courses and know the dates, the CEOTP and DEO are slated for BOTP's (after IAP's) starting 5 Nov 07 but with a report date of 25 or 29 Oct (just can't remember which one off the top of my head), and going to the 14 of Dec. There is one starting I believe on the 22 of Oct and...

So how would consolidating them away from the army units help?

we'll all probably be on the same botp in October!

Ya peaches, I am with George on this one! If the 408 (Edmonton) was moved to Cold lake, how could it support the 1 CMBG units. We now can walk over and work with them, if they were at Cold lake, you would need way in advance bookings, the logistics would be a nightmare, just think about how much...

CEOTP number is def questionable, as I am a CEOTP Pilot!! I am not off the street, I was a serving member already (NCM) so that might have some bearing.

Well I won't be on IAP, but when you guys start BOTP I will see you there, almost all DEO and CEOTP guys go together, cause when DEO are done school, there isin't a need to rush you through your IAP, or BOTP. I am CEOTP and going Pilot as well (providing I don't scew up on ASC) Sorry didn't...

we had a reservist with us in Bosnia, he was taking piloting from a college in Calgary, he took a break, he is going with us on another tour to Afghanistan, oh yeah, he didn't finish his course. I think he seen the money in his hands now and liked it so he never went back! I would finish school...

Air nav do the same ASC (aircrew selection) as pilots. I am currently working with a fellow Ocdt that is air nav and he said all the Airnav guys on his serial failed the pilot portion. So have you already done the ASC and if so did you pass the sim part? I think you can do a transfer, but I am...
