    Anyone else suck at drill?

    Even if you do well at drill yourself, It still doesn't look good until everyone else has it together (as you visually judge your movements off the group for timing, cadence etc.) so don't sweat it, it will eventually feel natural and second nature.

    Wrist Watch Recommendations - Merged Thread

    I use this watch with a generic black "sport" velcro wrist band and it has never let me down, has a sort of vintage look to it and no date to constantly re-adjust. I don't have to worry about the chrome however. http://timex.ca/watches/timex-weekender-central-park-t2n647gp

    Downside is where are you going to find a bus or Blue Boat (when it was running) when you have to be dressed with whites pressed (can't come to work in cooks whites, has to be on a hanger) ready to be on the floor for 530am or 6am (depending on shift schedule). Ships company - NCD's roll...

    Oak Bay if you can afford it, houses are much cheaper (was anyway) in Duncan if you don't mind the commute and is within the distance allowed from the base, Sooke / East Sooke (same thing), Metchosin & Langford.

    "Wavy Navy" sleeve insignia?

    Wasn't there two organizations, the RCNR (Royal Canadian Naval Reserve) as well as RCNVR (Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve), besides the WRCNS or Wren's and the RCN. Did the RCNR and the RCNVR exist at the same time (at one time)?

    Leaving Cadets?

    Is your ADHD diagnosed? Personally I'd stay in Cadets until you either age out or are sworn in, once you are sworn into the Reg Force (time between swearing in and BMQ) you can no longer do both Cadets and Military. If you want to do Reg don't do Reserve first, it might take a lot longer to switch.

    After training (BMQ, QL3) and being posted to your unit, you do not get a paid move to the location you would like to live if you VR, only if you complete your contract.
