Recruitment

[EventHorizons]

A couple of questions. First of all, what's the chances of being enrolled under minimum requirements to live in barracks, and how long does it usually take about? Is the Army recruiting many people right now? Where can I find more information on everything and anything? Are there weight to height standards? What kind of psychical abilities do you need? And finally, where would I go to aquire more information about reg-force, the local reserves? Also, I'm about 3-4 months away from having grade 10 with 33 credits, when should I really start looking into recruitment? I plan on enrolling in Infantry for a career.

okay boss, I am going to save your arse right now.

Some dudes are going to come on here, frothing at the mouth, shrieking and flipping out.(Surprisingly similar, in fact, to the descriptions of an invading zombie horde of the near future). They are going to scream at you something along the lines of "Long line of obsenities, use your imagination!" So i'm going to come right out and tell you, do a search before you get your arse handed to you by paracowboy or kinkanucks, or any other of the regulars here. It isn't a fun experience. Cheers -Cameron

Hansol,

While the advice is generally good try to tone it down in the future.   I think he could have gotten the point without the long line of obsenities.   While I like a good swear as much as anyone we do have people of all walks of life on the site and we like to keep things to a dull roar, okay?

EventHorizons,  please use the search functions of the site.  You should also peruse the recruiting area of the site.  If you have questions once you've done some reading please post them then.  Also, you can contact your local recruiting center and they'll have lots of info for you regarding your original questions.
