I engaged in Vancouver and came right back to the LMD. I am still in my first posting just starting my seventh year of service.
As far as postings to LDP's go, some people do get them straight from training. However when I signed my Cadet Training Agreement, the OIC of recruiting at the time said that if you are from the LMD you're coming right back...and to date I haven't seen anything to the contrary as far as recruits from Depot ,as the LMD always needs more members than we send to training.
The work is good wherever you go, it will just be a different style and pace of policing depending on where you are posted.
Cheers
