Good Day, I'll keep things short, and if someone wants to respond via PM instead of these means, feel free. I'm currently training via the ROTP, and have completed BMOQ.  I graduate this year, and my COS date is 3 May, 2010 which is when I will be posted to my new unit (not sure of the...

Good Day All, A few of us were talking in the Officer's Mess the other day, and got onto the subject of swagger sticks.  I did a search here but was unable to turn up anything of substance, as everything seems to focus on Drill Canes and Pace Sticks.  Why did swagger sticks fall out of use?  I...

There you have it!

Alright, lead in to this is an Army News video, so here it is: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/6_1_1_1.asp?id=2342 You'll notice that the P&D fellows we sent over are all dressed in the fantastic Service Dress (No.2s) of the British Army. My only question.... How in the heck?  If it...

So, I'm back with another question.  After searching the forums and turning up nothing, I turn to you, the brave readers of army.ca Just to refresh my situation in everyone's mind:  I am a Pte in the PRes, and I have applied for a CT to the RegF via the ROTP (acronyms much?). I signed a...

Had my interview last week for my CT via ROTP - everything is going tickety-boo. At the end of the interview, the Captain told me to stay healthy for the next little while before up-dating my medical (this coming monday).  I promised him I'd be fighting-fit when I arrived for the medical. Last...

Hello all, I searched the forums high and low for an answer to this, but to no avail. I was hoping for an educated response from someone within the CFRC community - or as always works on this forum "experience"! Backgrounder: I am a second year university student, and current PRes NCM.  I...

I attend the University of Guelph, and Jack Layton is going to stop into one of my classes for a 50 minute Question and Answer period. My challenge to you is, give me a question which I can grill him with! If you could ask old man Jack one thing, what would it be?

Hello all,     We've been sending some people for medicals lately, and I was just curious as to what exactly the medical consists of (once you're already in the CF).  I did a search on this subject and couldn't pull anything up for subjects other than enrolment medical.     Do they do the...

I hate to be tossing out yet another thread from left field, but I've got a question about money (I am a soldier, and a university student after all, so nothing is better except the things that can be gotten with money!). I am a piper (not by trade) and have been invited to be in my unit's...

I know that some trades do not have to take SQ in the Primary Reserves before going on their QL3.  Is RMS Clerk one of those trades where the SQ can be done post-QL3? I ask this because my SQ is in jeapody due to schedualing reasons, and am looking for a solution. Much obliged for the...

I'm a Primary Reservist - been in for over seven months now, and am looking to gain access to the Logisik Unicorps website.  When I asked at the OR at my unit, they told me that I didn't need to worry about it just yet, but I would like to get some PT gear off the site.  So is there another way...

Hello all,       First post and what not, but my question is still legit.  I don't want to be too specific about things, because I don't want to get into bad-books at my unit, as I'm new, and its a small unit to begin with.  I'm currently signed on as one of the technical trades (NCM of...
