    A few questions before applying.

    Michael, I generally agree with your answers. However, I'd like to point out an alternate option for one of your answers. If you want to continue post-secondary education, there are some programs that can be done by distance education through RMC or a number of civilian universities. Short of...

    CIC and P Res at the same time?

    Brihard, you are correct. Here's the documentation for reference, from DAOD 5002-1 - Enrolment:

    Actually, for whatever reason, MSC is higher in the order of precedence than MMV. http://gg.ca/document.aspx?id=71

    Reserve Force Retirement Gratuity

    The CBI states that it calculates half or full RFRG based upon continuous enrolled service, which it defines as: the total period of uninterrupted service in any component of the Canadian Forces without release, up to and including the day on which the member is released or transferred from the...

    Woman accused of using child as a weapon on TTC streetcar

    CBC updated that they have identified the woman. However, they are not releasing her name until they speak with her. This is truly sickening. Get this kid into protection and lock this woman up for child abuse. Obviously, if she used her child as a weapon, she is not fit to be a parent and this...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    You wouldn't get part marks for two reasons: [list type=decimal] CFAT is multiple choice and does not allow for part marks. Your math is wrong. [/list] You can't input a time to find time. Rather, you know the total distances (including the extra 150m) will be equal, so: 10.5*t+.15=12*t (150...

    Expedition Instructor. What do I need?

    If you needed lots of civilians, your joining instructions would tell you that. If they don't, then you don't need them. That was my post, so yes, I answered your question. You will probably wear OG-107s, since most (if not all) army CSTCs have an abundance of them. Asked, answered. Admins, if...

    Expedition Instructor. What do I need?

    You remind me a lot of me when I first started on this forum. I had to smarten up and take the good advice before I got any respect around here. I did, and now I contribute wherever I know what I'm talking about enough to do so effectively, aiding anyone I can. The point is, you were given a...

    Expedition Instructor. What do I need?

    Okay, I was helpful before, now I'm getting irritated. The advice he gave you was the same as what I gave you, I just went into a little more detail. If you wanted further clarification, you should have specifically sought that. You were being rude and disrespectful to someone who was trying to...

    Expedition Instructor. What do I need?

    Expedition Instructor is the name of the course, one that was introduced in the CPU. (S)he is not a staff cadet. You should bring exactly what is in the joining instructions for the CSTC you're attending. That is the kit you will need. Anything else is more than needed and may make your bag...

    Interested in joining the army but I have a few questions!

    Depends. If you are doing ROTP and getting everything paid for, yes. If you are doing RETP (part of which entails you paying your own tuition), no. They expect you continue at a reserve unit after, but you do not actually incur obligatory service. From the recruiting website:

    Need Advice - Reporting a Possible Lying Applicant

    That was a bicycle, not a motorcycle. I sincerely doubt you were bicycling at 67.4 km/h (40 mph). The power wouldn't be the same, so it would be more likely to catch than to break the wood as happened in the MythBusters experiment.

    CL Marksman Cut in half?

    Thanks for letting me know on that one. Unlike sea cadets with the old Trade Group system, the specialty concept is generally new in the army world until the third and final year of core training (exempting bands and marksmanship), so I'm still getting used to it.

    CL Marksman Cut in half?

    CL no longer exists. None of the CL courses do. Under the new program (CPU - Cadet Program Update), everyone does General Training (2 weeks) in their first year (this course varies by element). In your second year, you enter a specialty. You will normally then remain in that specialty, though in...

    Public Affairs Officer ( PAO ) - merged

    MARS is currently not recruiting in part due to training backlogs. There are so many MARS officers waiting to get on MARS III that there's no point in enrolling more since they will be unable to be trained/employed in their trade. As for PAO, you can dislike that there are few spots as much as...

    What camps should there be?

    This badge is currently only authorized for sea cadets, IAW CATO 35-01 (it's not listed in CATO 46-01 (army) or CATO 55-04 (air), and therefore not authorized). That said, the sea cadet dress regulations have not been updated since 1994, and are currently being revamped. While I am not certain...

    Return of the Army Forage Cap?

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four...
