Trade Choice 2: Armoured Infantry

No such occupation exists in the CF.

 

[Davidson22]

No such occupation exists in the CF.

That's what the trade was called for a long time on the forces website. They must have recently changed it to armoured soldier. I don't think it's too hard to understand what he meant though...

[Bassil_Inf]

Thank you haha, I am happy because Im being processed fast haha, Cfat booked same day I applied 2 weeks later I can't wait for monday!

 

[Bassil_Inf]

Correction, Armoured Soldier.

 

[Jester_TG]

If you are applying to the Lorne Scotts - all they have is Infantry - not the other 2... FYI

 

[Bassil_Inf]

Yes I know that. I just put the other two to fill in the box's, those are my options for my future Reg Force career. I know that lorne scots is strictly Infantry which is what I want.

 

[MikeL]

Unit: Lorne Scots A Coy Company

Just a FYI,  Coy means Company.  Kind of redundant to say Company twice

Good luck with the application process.  Would suck to have to change your username if you didn't get picked up for Infantry 

That's what the trade was called for a long time on the forces website. They must have recently changed it to armoured soldier. I don't think it's too hard to understand what he meant though...

What website was it listed as Armoured Infantry? forces.gc.ca ?  AFAIK every time I was on the forces.gc.ca website it said Armoured Soldier.

 

[JorgSlice]

Yes I know that. I just put the other two to fill in the box's, those are my options for my future Reg Force career. I know that lorne scots is strictly Infantry which is what I want.

The Lorne Scots is a Reserve unit... So if you are applying to the Regular Force you will not be going to the Lorne Scots. Alternatively, if you're applying to the Reserves as Infantry with the Lorne Scots then you cannot apply for Armoured Soldier in the Regular Force.

If you want to apply to the Regular Force, your Reserve application will be closed, and vice versa.

The fact that you filled out the other boxes is just going to make the CFRC get you to change the paperwork again and tell you to "make up your mind" as you can only select one for the Reserves. It's by unit, not by trade.

 

[Davidson22]

What website was it listed as Armoured Infantry? forces.gc.ca ?  AFAIK every time I was on the forces.gc.ca website it said Armoured Soldier.

Maybe I read it somewhere else or am just losing my mind but armoured infantry sounds very familiar and I swear it was on the forces website. If I am wrong I still think it was pretty obvious what he was saying.

 

[JorgSlice]

Never existed. On wikipedia some battalions of infantry regiments are "mechanized infantry" but never has anything called "armoured infantry" ever existed. Armoured Soldier is even an incorrect trade term now as it's been converted over to Crewman or Armoured Crewman.

 

[Bassil_Inf]

The Lorne Scots is a Reserve unit... So if you are applying to the Regular Force you will not be going to the Lorne Scots. Alternatively, if you're applying to the Reserves as Infantry with the Lorne Scots then you cannot apply for Armoured Soldier in the Regular Force.

Hey mate you have it all confused. Im applying to the RESERVES as an infanteer to the Lorne Scots A coy. I said i intend to join reg force after finishing university (component transfer) as an NCM, and I look forward in pursing a combat arms trade in the reg force.

 

[Bassil_Inf]

Just an UPDATE - I passed my CFAT , they told me I qualify for all NCM trades except Flight Engineer. I got what I wanted (Infantry)

I am booked for a PRESEC thursday since I have a dual citizenship with the United States, but I didn't live there at all, I was literally born there than moved to Canada and resided here my whole life, Any heads up on what might be going on?

Called for an update on my application today, since it's been almost a month since I handed in the security forms and haven't heard anything. The recruiter told me that I'm in queue to be scheduled for the cfat, and that I will be writing it shortly, within a month!! Could not be happier with how things are progressing. At least I know it's for sure that I will be writing!!
