Hey all,
I've searched the board, and read what little I could find (yes, i've been to the official Canadian Armed Forces deployment page)--but failing to find enough, I decided to post.
I am a reservist in an Infantry regiment that is considering volunteering for deployment next fall, hopefully catching the 2009-01 rotation. Several of my friends from the unit are also considering this, however, when we've asked for more info, we've been told that there will be more info next fall, on our dag day. This is the hearsay info i've gathered so far:
i) pre-training starts in Feb 2008, and is 10-11 months long, wrapping up sometime November/Decemberish
ii) tour might be 9 months, might be 6. If nine, than there will be 2 leave periods after the 3rd and 6th month
What I'm looking for, basically, is some sort of pre-deployment info package, or just some more concrete info on the next rotations--although from what I gather, things are up in the air for *all* the rotations for quite some time...what with a bunch of our guys being on pre-training for *two* years after the rotation they were supposed to be on was scrapped.
Furthermore, some sort of civi-oriented info would also be helpful, for friends and family concerned about such decisions.
If someone could point me in the right direction for this stuff, it would be much appreciated. Or if there is no place to be pointed to, then just some informed posts would be great.
Much thanks,
-Cin
