Never would have thought this.LunchMeat said:Don't bank on going anywhere, especially in your first 5 years. You'll be sticking around in Canada for majority of it.
Is this because of the amount of training to be effective as an infanteer in a section requires five years of training?
Ya. General idea of what people said in the links Mario provided. Their was one great post on the unpredictability of how postings to tours work; not only was it informational, but a fun read. If I run by it again, I'll quote it in this thread.ArmyRick said:Tours overseas? Its like predicting the weather.

What was taken by this.
- (Assumed) it's an automatic promotion to Cpl from Pte after the first three years, then privates don't go on tours, for, the first five years, you ain't going anywhere. Q: Were their not privates in the Stan?
- Unless for some urgent offensive/defensive, the first VIE of three years, you're home in Canada.
- It's a crap shot to whether you'll be going, even if you're told you're going. Stay positive.
