OK, I understand your desire to explore your commitment before you join and would agree that you must count the costs before making a decision. At the same time, it appears that you might be looking too hard at how you can get out of your commitments prior to joining..... To answer your...

Last weekend I was out with some buddies, drinking and carrying on. One of the guys I was out with has been a buddy for 10+ years. He's a bit of a lefty but we get a long fine. He was chatting with another one of our friends and I wasn't really paying attention to their conversation. He looks at...

Alright, brought it to my Chief Clerk. She hadn't a clue. I will try to bring it further up the chain and see if I can get some resolution. Has anyone else had this situation or know anything about this?

Thanks for your reply George. I am hoping to bypass BOTC and CAP as I have already done them both. They are just starting a new PLA. Are you saying that if I pass the courses, I would be promoted to Lt, backdated to my enrollment date? As for the pay, they are giving me IC 2 (on the DEO 2Lt...

Hi, I received an offer for a CT from Res to Reg along with a OT from Infantry officer to Armoured O. I am totally confused by one component of my offer. I have been granted TIR of 1 year and 43 days. I'm supposed to relinquish my rank to Officer Cadet until I am done BOTC. I have been given...

Thanks again Mike

Wookilar, Last year I did the first Mod in the spring. Then went to Gagetown for 2-4. Now I am back at brigade doing the last one. I had work commitments preventing me from doing all 5 at once. My unit was not super happy about breaking it up, but 6 weeks is the longest I could get off in one...

Hey all, I have a house to rent in Gatineau. It is about 10-15 minutes away from NDHQ and parliament Hill, during off times. (longer during rush hour). -semi detached -3 bedrooms -yard with deck -big kitchen & dining room -1.5 baths -quite street with tons of kids -1400 Square feet -parking...

Hey Marksman, There is no Pres CAP anymore, only the Reg force CAP. I did it last summer and it is a pretty tough go but a great time nonetheless. It seemed to me that they liked to keep the RMC candidates together, (not sure if it's on purpose, or they all get loaded at the same time) so...

OK, so I was in Gagetown this summer on the same CAP serial as this guy this summer. I was in the other platoon and didn't know him except to see him wandering around looking confused once in a while. Funny thing, I didn't even hear about this until I got home. Maybe I'm slow or was just...

Yes, I returned home from Gagetown about 3 weeks ago and have all but the final mod of CAP. That was the extent of the leave my civ. employer was willing to extend this summer. I am slated to do a decentralized Mod 5 this fall. While I don't really mind Gage, I have read on another completely...

Thanks again for your reply 2Bravo. I am hoping that my process moves quickly. I am told that I will need SLT, then straight to armour school. I'm straying from the original topic, however. I noticed that there could be some lag time between SLT and armoured school. What will happen during this...

Hi, I just found this article: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/genjoin/a/pilotvision.htm I had PRK laser surgery in 2000 with no negative effects. At that time, I vaguely remember something about the US Navy allowing their pilots to get laser surgery. Also, (and I'm certainly no medical...

Thanks for your reply 2 Bravo, Here's another question that you may be able to answer: How much control do you have over which regiment you go to? I am told that I would not go to 12 RBC as I am an anglo. I would like to go to the Dragoons as Pet is closer to my family. Thoughts?

Hi, This will be my first post on this forum. I have checked in over the last couple of years for random tips for courses and the like. I found it especially useful for CAP info as finding info about that course was like smacking your face off random things. Anyways.... I am about to component...
