I have to ask since I see most everyone else's course numbers start with R. Mine doesnt, is that normal or am I to assume there is an R in front? What is written on my sheet is: 0268E Thats it.
I am not overly concerned, the only reason I ask is for an address when my family writes from home. I would hope that the mail carriers can figure out my course number without the R...? If not, shall I simply stick an R in?

On the C.F.L.R.S. instruction paper, it says...
I was wondering the same too, about the course number formality. My number says 0268E as well.
Maybe "R" in front simply means, recruit training class? as my paper says RCT TRG 0268E in full. But I'm pretty sure, just by stating 0268E, people at CFLRS mailing room will know where it should go. Maybe, we can ask about that on Sunday, Tulach Ard. (hopefully without getting yelled at for asking un-necessary question, LOL)

Oh trust me I know what that sheet says, about memorized the whole damn booklet. I think it should be okay. Speaking of booklet...have you guys all done your Autobiographies?

It IS ok......you are going, you are assigned to a course. Stop fucking disecting everything as if it was life and death information.

IIRC, the *R* stands for Recruit, meaning it is a BMQ serial. The *E* at the end means it is an English serial, or *F* for a french serial.
I think (its been a few years now since I was Staff up there at the Mega, so I could be wrong or it could have changed) the IAP courses start with *I*, the BOTP courses start with *B*.
So, you can see the pattern here

I am assuming you have seen, and know, the mailing address format while at CFLRS.
Mailing address:
In order to ensure prompt delivery of your mail, ensure your family and friends employ the following address:
Service number
Rank, name and initials
Course title, course and platoon number
CFLRS St-Jean Garrison
C.P. 100, Succ Bureau-Chef
Richelain (Quebec)
J0J 1R0
You CAN give them the info as you have it now, and then update Mommy and Daddy if it changes some. Keep in mind, YOU are the only person with your service number, so as long as they get that right and the rest of it, it will make it to you.
Your staff will likely give you the correct mailing address on the first day or so, as I am sure someone else will question the mailing address format, despite it being right in the JIs...

With all do respect, have you never gone into a completely new situation before with many questions? Sheesh I asked a harmless question, one that I am not overly concerned about. A simple, KIND, answer would suffice. Thank you.

Yes I have, and memorized it actually. I do realize only I have my service number. But when some things to do with the military are SO picky, it makes us newbies assume EVERYTHING is utterly nitpicked. Thanks for the info, it always helps=)

Hmmm, 2 more days to go...
I feel a bit nervous, but my good friend told me that being nervous is good - It means I'll do my best to excel.
Packed all my stuff nicely in my bag, ready to go.
Vancouver was a nice city. I will miss this place.
@Tulach Ard, looking forward to meet you in person at the airport.
