New Component Transfer Programme - Reserve Combat Arms

[PO2FinClk]

CANFORGEN 061/07 details a new program aimed at Reservists of the comabt arms occupations who have experience in Afghanistan, essentially enabling for quick and painless transition. Rather then applying through CFRG, a letter will be sent to them by the CLS.

Any details about this?

I read on the DND website not too long ago that a new CT program was being initiated that would see a CT go through in about two weeks.... I've heard some pretty nightmarish timelines for CT's though.

Eventually, after my 3's I'll be looking to CT back to the reg force... just trying to get an idea of how long it'll take, either with a tour or without a tour (here's hoping).

Kind of vague... but it sounds promising:

Hmm..
at present, the CTs being offered are to reservists who are currently or recently seen service in an operational role outside of canada on Class C.

If you are good enough to be a ___ on class C while on mission, then you are good enough to be a Reg in the same rank as you were employed overseas.

Will have to see about a post for ya tomorrow.

If I recall correctly, this applies to reservists who have served in Kandahar. When they transfer to the reg force, they get to keep the rank and IPC they had during their deployment.

I'll be able to get more info tonight, and I'll post it if no one beats me to it.

For those with DIN access (not me), there's a link to the CANFORGEN on the page Dog linked to, but this probably isn't the one I saw, which was fairly recent.
