Do you have a Service Battalion (or det of one) in your immediate area? If you don't, your request for OT will likely not be supported (a one-of unskilled Supply Tech Pte is of no use to anyone).

I was there as a Participant. Overall, I thought it a great time, a lot of different and challenging stands. Didn't care for the walk back and forth from the 'rest area' to the 'staging area' (I forget the proper names used). That was 10 years ago, so the details are a little foggy, but I do...

I can't speak for Kingston, but I know that RMS Trades (no matter the element) are in high demand in the Winnipeg/Regina/Saskatoon regions. My home unit is currently employing a Naval Reserve RMS Clerk, and it's Army-Medical.

SSLI? Not an active Reserve unit, you know that right? There's two Infantry regiments in SK, the Royal Regina Rifles and the N Sask R.

Wow... That's just embarrassing...  >:(

Why? While having these three guys learn english, and get full time jobs would make them effective members of society, you'd almost expect them to have these goals already (if they were interested in becoming effective members of society, that is). While a "conspiracy to commit robbery" isn't...
