This handbook was created to provide serving soldiers (and hoping-to-be soldiers) with information that will demystify the experience of being in the Canadian Army Reserve. If you want to know what it's like being part of an Army Reserve unit, read Section 1. If you just joined, read Section 2...

This is a good response. One of the biggest reasons people release from the CAF is that they were enrolled into the wrong trade and can't see a way to escape other than releasing. The memo to the chain of command including enough details to satisfy them that you have done some research into the...

Reservists whose programs are authorized through the ILP program do get reimbursed up to a max ceiling. It is a treasury board entitlement for Reservists so not something that is dependent on the military finding money. You just have to be authorized.

I'm posting a link to a new soldier information handbook. It was written specifically for Army Reservists in BC, but it has a lot of information that is common to anyone in uniform, and includes 167 links to just about anything you are wanting to know or find. I'm posting it here because it...
