Quick question's for MP OT's In your opinions how long does it take to get your rank back, if at all? Do PER/PDR's from your previous trade have any weight, or is it start from scratch, at the bottom of the barrel again? I've heard average time to get your fives is around 18 months is that...

To all those who can help, I am looking to get my hands on a set of Sgt, battle dress, rank insignia.  I have exhausted my options, no luck on Ebay, and the surplus and flea markets around here want way too much.  If you are in possession of a set and willing to part with let me know. cheers

Regardless of what time you happen to show up on the weekend, there will be someone to "greet" you, and point you in the right direction.

In regards to reporting in you will report when the recruiting centre told you to, its a safe bet.  There will be troops coming in from all over Canada at different times depending on their flight times.  Sunday is the absolute last time to report in because the course officially starts on the...

Cheers!
