RETP is almost never filled due to lack of applicants and a lack of exposure on the program. I used this to get my foot in the door before transferring to the reg force. I went with an Eng degree and Inf O. Pick a trade and program that YOU like. I was originally discouraged on this board back...

I've known 3 gay officers, two of them were awesome guys (both navy coincidentally...), good friends and were not treated any differently because they were good dudes. The other one was abusive towards straight folks and felt like he was martyring himself by giving us the privilege of serving...

Our games were on Friday... I'm still hurting from it, luckily no serious injuries this year... guess there is a first time for everything... :irish jig:

being a Shilo guy, I love it out here... for real... no jokes..

IMHO, how can one show any loyalty to a regiment before they've served there? the only basis they have to make a decision is interaction with people from varying regiments/Bns, stories about Bn's and Regiments (true or not true, who knows), and geography, in my mind the most concrete factor...

See, I knew someone would correct me ;D

Navy = MARE = Maritime Engineer or NCSE = Naval Combat Systems Engineer And I'm sure I'm forgetting one or something....

Being an infantry officer fitness is a job requirement, I like to think of it as three requirements: Cardio Strength Suffering The first two are pretty self explanatory, run lots, lift heavy things... very simple. Suffering is the component that relates to passing your training, some people...

Also, don't worry about it, I was trying to get posted do a specific location based on my now fiancees location, however, wherever you end up it will be good. There are still some MAJOR hurdles in your way before you become an infantry officer (look of failure rates for phase 3 infantry (IODP...

Awesome Guys, thanks for the clarification, I was debating as to whether it was a silverbar or nothing, I think I'm going to put Army.ca as a quick reference in my links file...

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knew whether or not there was a device to go with a COMISAF commendation or whether or not there was just the paper commendation that went on the pers file? Any help would be awesome, Thanks guys!
