I come from the private sector and we have the problem (at least in tech) that many people want to move up to "management" because it means higher pay, not because they want to leave being technical. For the longest time there was no way to get more pay increases without going into management...

I don't know my platoon number, just start date.

No joke... Think of all the heteronormativity in Disney. Even child marriage is encouraged. To say Hollywood hasn't pushed an agenda, well you would have to be blind or someone who was apart of the agenda it was pushing, aka straight, and white. Start trek and Mash as well.

Not that I know of... but I would follow up with your recruiting centre, they would know why.

40... ;)

I am just over 60... old lady here... lol.

Yes to both. Shouldn't be NCM, but it is... Anyways... onwards and upwards. I got my PLAR, so that is kind of cool.

Renewed faith in CF... lol, using LaTex... cool.

They don't release those numbers. Sometimes i have heard recruiters telling you these numbers, but generally they don't tell you.

Why those trades? Why not cyber? If you have a comp sci degree and some certs, you could get PLAR and get in probably quite easily. I know it is not an officer trade, but if you truly want to be hands on with those credentials, cyber would probably be your best bet. I went in for cyber, no CS...

My trade is spec already. Nothing compared to my private sector job, not going in for pay. But the rank is a nice bonus and also I skip all but the military training component of my trade.

I got my PLAR about 4 weeks ago now.

No worries-- To the 2nd part. Here is the thing. Transferring once in, is difficult, and if your trade is understaffed you may not even be able to transfer out. And I believe you have to wait a few years to even put in for a transfer (and the transfer can take longer than your orig...
