Think about their poor goats though and what would become of them. :-\

Greetings all allow me to interject. Canucksnation to answer your question I'd advise you take the previous answers given above to solve your question. Research all the regiments, give them a google and lookup their parade nights and recruiting email address and/or telephone number(s). Drop in...

Allow me gentlemen and ladies who are present to throw in my quick story. I have been waiting 2 years officially to get into the forces (Infantry Reserve) and have had no news nor will there be any this year due to budgeting and recruit intake spots in my region. Not even my testing has begun...

Hello Badner. As far as my knowledge has it PRes BMQ's are held to the same standard just as any other Regular Force BMQ course. All the course material and training is the same but with the Reserves there is the possibility of having your BMQ courses on the weekend. It all depends on that...

What a great story to read! Even through all those years this veteran remembered his number, just goes to show the kindness of others. Not to mention an awesome conversation starter now proudly hoisted on his wall. :)

Might I ask what Reserve Force regiment you're being sworn into? And is it part of a High school Co-op?

I can completely agree with what DAA has said earlier on this subject lads. Take myself for example. It's almost been a year since I've applied for the Army Reserves - Infantry "officially". Still no spots are open and I just keep on waiting. That's the way it just is unfortunately. However the...

The following link is provided by CTV Canada AM programming. I'm glad to see Chris Dupee the founder of Military Minds talking with them again and spreading the word. For those who don't know Military Minds is, it is an association that targets to outreach current and previous military members...

Link: http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/dnd-asks-soldiers-to-share-stories-of-mental-health-issues-care-in-videos-1.1652275 Could this just be another PR stunt by the DND? So far does it seem like just another crowd pleaser to the public? You decide. Please read and comment if you wish to do so...

Is that even proper English? ??? Do not try reading the first post, you will go full retard. Never go full retard....

Well the final vote has finally been made and I am most happy and proud to report that the new Halifax ferry title will be named after Mcpl.Stannix of the PLFu's. I can't be more pleased with the city and citizens decision on the name. Now his name will not only be a memorial but a testament of...

If you are interested in the Reserves be prepared to wait at least (if you're lucky) a year to start testing and get in. Each application process in terms of time is different, it can range from 4 months to 2 years almost. It all depends of availability of regiment spots. However seeing that you...

I spoke to my recruiter about this same situation a month ago. I was told yes you will have to do the FORCE testing, not the EXPRESS. But by all means keep working at it and exceeding the bare minimum standards as well at taking a peek at what the FORCE test requirements are and go above them...

Here's a little life lesson and keyword that you will learn throughout your life and can put to use in your "situation". Today's keyword is.... "Patience". There's an old saying of "hurry up and wait" you will get used to this. If your serious about joining the Forces you will wait it out. If...

Hard to say Aqua. I've seen some people's application date samples showing their physical and medical's were on the same day, others were on different days. It all depends on what the Recruitment Center has planned I suppose. Good luck and best wishes in your application process!

As a native born in and raised around the Halifax area I also put down my vote for Christopher Stannix upon seeing this post. To have his name chosen would be a great honor for Halifax. This will insure his name and story will live on. Hopefully a memorial as well either at the port stations or...

Ah where to begin. My opinion on the White Poppy. Please take it or disregard as you freely choose to do so. Honestly its a huge slap in the face to the veterans and the very idea of Remembrance Day. No political correctness or debating needed, its just plain stupidity. It takes a whole lot...

Well I've been told when eating your MRE to make sure to have that Hotsauce handy and with you, does wonders for your nasals too! Got a cold?!! Well not anymore you don't!

As a Baker and Cook Apprentice/Food Slut I can say this all looks very promising and equally making me hungry at the same time. I've seen a lot of good food choices that are available to troops while on training from the Cooks info video on the recruitment website, and the Basic Up Series on...
