    Can naval personnel acquire jumpwings?

    Couldn't find anything in the search, other day was talking to a fellow sailor after he was driving home from a wedding in his dress uniform; on his tunic I noticed paratrooper jumpwings. I didn't bother to ask (which I should have otherwise I wouldn't be asking now) But in the end are naval...

    Naval Reserves - HMCS Star

    You said your enrolled for army right? Well to switch from army to navy you'd have to go through a Component Transfer (CT). It can take you from 6 months to two years to transfer in but before you can even think about transferring you'd have to complete BMQ and your trade qualification. I...

    Canadians Unaware of our Navy

    Anybody ever notice how the Canadian public is somewhat, unaware of our Naval personnel? ...the other day I was walking to my unit, and I was called a "scumbag corrections officer", I've heard similar stories from members of my unit that they've been mistaken for Police Officers, or even...

    Transferring to another unit (RESERVE)

    the CFRC career counseller talked me into his idea, Why be in a trade that wouldnt help me in the long run, im going into criminology for post-secondary so wouldnt it be the ideal decision to get into the occupation im getting educated in?  Any way as you said im 17, everyone makes mistakes...

    Transferring to another unit (RESERVE)

    I was ill-informed about trades by my CFRC and i signed up into the naval reserves, i currently in pre-bmq courses at my naval detachment, and id really like to transfer over to army as the army reserve has MP trades. My question is, is this possible before ive even started basic? how long...

    Step Test

    If you can run a kilometre smoothly, than the physical aspect of it is easy. Basically the hardest part (for me) was staying in sync with the terrible music and the manly voice behind the music. You start out depending on your age, so in example I did it when I was 17, the instructor gave me a...
