Thanks guys!  I also searched the library database and found some stuff that should work.

I've been out of the forces for about five years now and currently work at a Christian Camp. In the winter we try to run stuff more geared for adults to fill up some of the weekends when the facility isn't booked. Anyways, I had this idea of running a mini winter warfare course (no weapons of...

Hello everyone, I served as a Mobile Support Equipment Operator in the reserves for almost eight years, and three of that was as the rank of MCpl.  I VRed from the reserve about four years ago as I had a full time job, and a small business that was taking off.  I found that I didn't have time...

Hello, Does anyone know if the VIA rail July promotion will be happening in 2010?? Thanks! -Dave

Thanks for the help, I just submitted a memo up my chain so hopefully I can get on a tour sooner or later! -Dave

I am a MSE Op reservist from LFWA and I'm interested in going to Afghanistan.  I'm wondering if there is any chance of getting on rotos that are based out of other areas (LFCA for example)?  I'm at a good time in my life to go and I missed TF309.  I don't really want to have to wait till it's...

Thanks for the quick reply.  I was told by the recruiter that if a course is more than 180 days that you get posted to wherever the course is and can bring your family.  I hope it is infact an 8mo course for that reason...  Although realistically my wife will have to get used to being away from...

Does anyone have any idea when courses fall for this trade and how long they are?  The recruiter wasn't too sure and told me to try and find it on the DIN ( I have DIN access as I am currently in the PRes).  I looked around but couldn't find too much so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -Dave

Hello, I've done some readind and I went down to the CFRC today and talked to a recruiter about all this.  Basically, I'm doing an engineering technologist diploma that will be done this december and I'd like to upgrade it to an engineering degree.  This is where the CF comes in,  I'd like to...

I know that if I went to certain universities I would only need to do 3 or 4 semesters in order to finish my degree.  The technical college that I'm getting my diploma through has agreements with these universities for students that wish to upgrade. Does ROTP work in a case like this?  I mean I...

I'm thinking of switching from reserve to reg force into the AF ENGR trade.  I'm currently completing my Environmental Engineering Diploma and thought that maybe I could upgrade to an engineering degree through the army's CEOTP program.  The website seems to have very little information about...

Hello, I am probably going to be a range coach this weekend and I was wondering if anyone has a nice cheat sheet that covers the basics(which way and how much to adjust the rifle, common errors, etc).  It would be greatly appreciated! -Dave
