We use the "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" principle here at times.   We gave you directions, you didn't follow them very well.   There have been many questions asked before and answered in great detail.   If you use the search function, you will find them.   If you are too lazy to do your research, we will loose our patience with you and then give you a hard time.   We are often very tired of getting asked the same questions over and over again, sometimes within only a few hours of each other.   So please do your research first, or be prepared to suffer the consequences. 

PS.  Good grammar and spelling are an essential quality that a person must have in looking for a job, unless you are happy flipping burgers.

alright ill follow your grammer boundaries. if you see a question you have been asked before dont answer. and im not lazy i research ww2 everyday.

frankie,

Army.ca has, as of this morning, 7,775 members who have made over a quarter-million posts. That count doesn't even include the non-specific content of the Radio Chatter board. The members range from senior retired officers and NCOs, through the entire range of ranks and trades in the CF, to many young Canadians like yourself seeking information about the CF a military topics in general.

With the thousands of years of military experience represented on the forums, and the addition of new accounts like your own every week, wouldn't you suppose that there are few original topics that you're likely to come up with off the top of your head.

We do try and be as patient as possible with newcomers. That's why they get directed, sometimes repeatedly, to the search function. We accept that you may not have a good grasp of the required vocabulary to form effective searches immediately, but this, like all of life, is a learning process.

Jumping into the boards with a bunch of unresearched questions is unlikely to endear you to the regulars. Much work has been done to structure the boards by topic, and to create FAQs to assist new members. But the new members have to learn to listen, pay attention, research and read. You'll get some assistance when you find yourself at loose ends and can't figure out how to find a topic, but no-one's going to spoonfeed you data that can be found with a little time and effort.

The CF puts geat stock in initiative and responsibility. Take the time to explore the forum contents, read along and you will quickly see whose posts are worth following for consistently good content, ans which are simply static.

You may find your first day on the baord frustrating as you clash with the forum's operating method. It's up to you to determine if this will lead to a fatal conclusion on your account (see the Warning System post under Conduct Guidelines thread in the Army.Ca Admin board).

 

[frankie_future infanteer]

ok thanks

 

[frankie_future infanteer]

im just intrested in you guys. im sorry im being a pest. ill change my attitude

 

[Michael OLeary]

frankie,

we applaud your enthusiasm, but would appreciate it being kept under control as you learn how Army.CA works. I would recommend that you put youself on listening watch for a while (that's when a radio callsign monitors a net but does not transmit) and follow along.

Learn to use the search function, and explore the various forums, and not just the current threads. Find and read the various FAQs, especially those under Recruiting and Infantry. Also browse some of the member's profiles, that will give you an idea of where they are coming from, note that there are some very experienced people who don't post often, that's because they wait until they have something concrete to contribute.

If you take the time to read only 1% of the threads covering subjects you are interested in, you will be able to start fresh with a much stronger perception of the forum's operating methods, tone, expectations of you as a member and its potential value to you as an interested future infanteer.

Read up on SGT "Smokey" Smith....There's what you need to acheive to attain such an award.  I was at his funeral in Vancouver in front of the Seafroth Armouries...Very fascinating what he did.

Frankie, how old are you 13 correct. Perhaps you should look at getting into army cadets if your interested in a career in the CF because you can't join the reserves for another 3 years. As well follow the good old rule of two ears one mouth use accordingly. I made a few mistakes my first few posts here and corrected the error of my ways.
