From my own personal experience I have found that most fracophones looking to have a long productive career in the CF really have to learn to speak english. Schools in Gagetown, Borden, Toronto "motivates/encourages" them to become bilingual in short order. There does not appear to be a shortage in most of the Combat arms units up in Valcatraz.... Also, young anglo officers interested in being noticed early in their career have voluntered to serve in 5 CBMG units... I know one Engineer officer from Toronto volunteered to serve in 5 RGC and from there was detached to the R22R as a platoon officer for a year. The R22R got to appreceate and properly use Sappers in their Ops - and some language barriers were battered down over time.

As an ex-RCR I am impressed with the amount of enthusiasum displayed not just by future Royals, but all the others as well. This dosn,t bode well for Timmy(am I allowed to say that), who surely has as much access to this site as we all do. I have a hard time understanding the huge delays in getting recruits into the system. Some said it took over a year! Is this for real. If so, we must loose a lot of top notch people who simply give up in fustration over delays and posponements.

Well if it took a year or more for someone to get into the CF then there was a damn good reason for it and probably because there was some issue with the applicant. Give me all the files that took a year and more and I can, 9/10 times, show this to be the case. If so, we must loose a lot of top notch people who simply give up in fustration over delays and posponements. Sorry to bust you bubble but I highly doubt that many, if any, of the people who give up are "top notch" applicants and that is based on six years of recruiting. The system has had its faults and has vastly improved so that recruiting meets its numbers time and time again. Want to blame something? Blame the training system that has failed to meet the demands put on it with the increase in recruiting numbers. The applicants who are waiting are waiting for good reasons.

I can talk about this with a smile...Ive been waiting for over 382 days now...for a transfer. Why am i still waiting? simple I need to do this...I may not be the "top notch" on PT side...but I'm sure motivated to get there...I lost over 30 pounds since September...and I'm still trying to loose more.
Why? this is not just a "job" its a way of life. The army is everything to my eyes. If I have to wait an other 6 month then be it. Will it depress me sure...but its life. I wish that my file could be completed before next Part time QMB so I could join in but if i does not happen what the heck an other will eventually be available.
