Armoured Soldier : why walk when you can ride. Weapons Technician - Land : guns are cool. Geomatics Technician : Apparently just about anyone can make sergeant.

Seen.

Based on my knowledge of the HBO series "Band of Brothers", you can face disciplinary action for failure to meet a timing of which you were unaware. However, you may be able to formally present a defense at a later time.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMoFlaEcKoM

Fairly common to hit MCpl in the infantry reserves within 4 years of service. Is this faster than the Reg F? Generally, yes.

In the current system there are simply too many reasons why a reserve member on class B service doesn't get paid on time; 1. Class B contract not entered into the system. 2. Contract entered, but not certified (possibly awaiting confirmation of arrival). 3. Certified, but not activated. 4...

I'd just add a reliable short-barreled 5.56mm carbine.

Thanks. Not logical, but I guess it avoids confusion.

Reserve units tend to have minimal recruiting over the summer months, as most personnel are away on taskings and courses, and would recommend you wait until late August before attempting to contact a unit you are interested in joining. Unless you left the forces under bad terms, that is to say...

While I've seen 24h00 over and over, it shouldn't exist. At 23h59 and 59 seconds, it should cycle over to 00h00 and 00 seconds.

As stated, it depends on the type of unit and to an extent which RSS position you are going into. Generally, the difference between Class B and BA is the duration of the contract, with Class BA being for permanent positions and typically 3 years.  Its important to know that the full-time staff...

Is anyone aware of the possibility to have a release item changed from 2A (due to a conviction in the civilian court) to 5F. 

I wondered when the x 65 F35s for Canada were announced if Super Hornet models would not have been a better choice for the Canadian Air Force.

What are our armor units using these days anyways? Leopard C2s and Coyotes?

Unfortunately, I simply do not know enough to come up with a ideal fleet for the Canadian Navy. I was, however, fortunate enough to have a look around the HDMS Absalon this summer with some far more knowledgeable friends and I was very impressed. Given the modular nature of the vessel, could we...

I recommend any Montreal-based unit. Not sure I understand your personal expectations and ideas of "fit", but it doesn't really matter. No unit in Montreal is 100% English or 100% French. Regardless of the unit you join, best of luck.

I'd go with the Leopard. When I think armor, I think battle tanks.

Thanks. Seems like the idea still has a way to develop before it becomes applicable to general dismounted work.

Thanks, that was my initial feeling but still was curious enough to order one. Might still be useful for convoy work.

I find them an interesting idea, that I not heard much about previously, and was wondering how practical they are for field work in hot, plus 40, environments.

Thanks Illegio. One of the positive points I've heard from the guys who were there mention the rappel training.
