Hey, I am pretty old to this forum, but I just decided to finally make a account and ask a few questions. Heres my first... The search button is taking me awhile to use, and I know this was brought up, but I need a direct answer... How long does it take just for my application form to process in order to be accepted into the Canadian reserve and start basic training in the Canadian Reserve? I had a Canadian reserve/army recruit team come over to my high school last December 2004, and had set up a booth, as it was a course carousel type of set up in my cafeteria to get a feel of what courses I should taking next year. Anyways, they handed me a slip of paper, that questioned something like " Are you tough enough?..." and stated all the requirements to join the reserve, specifically the 32 Canadian Brigade I think it was. Anyways, they got me thinking in joining the reserve for just basic training during the summer. I am currently in grade 10 by the way.
My 2nd question is... If I do join the Canadian Reserve next year, 2006, would it be possible to get a discharge right after I finish my Basic training? Form what I heard, if it takes a while for applications just to be processed in order to join the Canadian forces, will they screw me over and take their sweet time in processing my discharge? Anyways, I want to do basic training during my summer, right before I start grade 12, September, 2006... my parents are nagging me not to join (they will send you off to war, blah, blah, blah), but I want to do basic training because it sounds fun and cool... good exercise and discipline. Thanks for your replies. My other question is, if they do not discharge me/or If I don't discharge before school starts again for me, do I have to work during the weekends? or weekdays too? Because I have school, and that would be no fair to me if they work me like a dog... I need the time to study as I will be going to University.
