Regarding the free market/subsidy cognitive dissonance: http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/straighttalk/archives/2013/01/20130127-074237.html

Mods, feel free to put this thread anywhere you see fit. Thanks. Sun News Network is making a do-or-die pitch to CRTC to get basic cable coverage, at a much lower support level than CBC to boot. This is the only network that represents the silent majority, and will side with law abiding gun...

:nod: I'm sure there are ethical aspects that differentiate internship with the military and internship at XYZ Advertising, but I generally find the free market to work better than govt regulations. I have no military experience mind you, but from an economic point of view, I don't see why...

;D

OK, thanks for the clarification. That's unfortunate. I would benefit, and so would the unit. But 3rd parties get to make the decision. This is why we should all vote Libertarian  ;)

I haven't brought it up to the unit, I thought it would be better to gather some info here first. Is the Reserve unit responsible for the budgeting of all staff activities? As in, does costs for BMQ, SQ, and parade nights all come out of the Reserve Unit budget, or is some of the cost centralized?

Thanks for the replies. Back story is that I may have to turn down an excellent Reg offer, but am eager to work with the CF. The Reserve component of the Reg trade (Comms Rsch) is not available in my city, and the other trade I want (Int Op) may be filled indefinitely. I've done all the steps...

This may seem like an absurd question, but it is heard of to do volunteer parade nights and weekend BMQ at a reserve base? There is a back story, I'll get into it if anyone's interested, but as a broad question: Can someone theoretically do Reserve work unpaid, to start at least?

shucks. makes sense. thanks.

Anyone know, is it still the case that Kingston 772 and Ottawa 763 are the only Communications regiments with Reserve Comm Rsch? Anything in the GTA perhaps?

Anyone here in that Res unit? I live in Toronto and am very interested. The site goes up and down, and the Forces site doesn't have a contact. I called and left a message at 416 633-6200 x 2948, which I found in this old thread: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/99791.0 Anyone with an...

Just before doing the medical, the registration sheet asked for an element. I left it blank b/c Comms Rsch is purple, they asked me to clarify, and I think they checked Naval on my behalf after I explained it. It's been a while, my memory is hazy. There is a thread on CR explaining that the...

This might be a silly question but... When you apply for Comms Research, a purple trade, you apply for the trade as a whole, all elements, and not a specific element of CR, ie Naval CR, Army CR, etc? I applied for Comms Rsch as my top choice, and two naval trades as my second and third...

I was afraid of that answer.  :-\ I am glad to live on base, but was hoping for a PMQ spot during PAT, NETP, and QL3, if they are in the same location, seemingly Esquimalt. If not, that could easily be a year apart, which would be tough for her, she doesn't have a stable family or group of...

Question for you guys: After BMQ, where are you posted while you await courses - Halifax, Esquimalt, Ottawa? Training for NCI Op is 5 weeks NET Halifax/Esquimalt, 26 weeks trade Esquimalt. Training for NES Op is 5 weeks NET Halifax/Esquimalt, 20 weeks trade Esquimalt. I've read that spouses...

thanks airmich, that just about covers it [mountie]

Thanks. Edit - I found some answers in these threads: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/91362.0 http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/27348.0 I couldn't answer these though: - Is there a time delay, or other restrictions, between joining the CF and commencing studies? - Does it depend on...

Im applying for Reg NCM, and have a degree in Business. I want to do a Masters in international relations, security, intelligence, war studies, etc., whatever kind of program I can find online. RMC's War Studies would be awesome. Is UTPNCM available for those who already have a Bachelors...

Congrats seadog, sounds like things are working out for ya  :salute: Mind if I ask why you chose NCI Op?

Which is what I did... hopefully no offense taken  :D
