Actually, YTEP were actually Class C Reservists brought into full time service as an employment program. They were trained on Reg Force courses at Reg Force schools (back in the day when we kept all these things separate). Many of them ended up transferring into the Regular Force at the end of their one year commitment.
SYEP was a Class B summer program run out of Reserve units.

Nah, I'm too young for that. While my dad had that memorized, I was diligently rattling off his name, rank, and social insurance number (426 011 ...) during drills in Lahr ~ just in case the big red machine came bounding across the Fulda gap.

The second letter of your army service number told everyone at which PD (personnel depot) you had enlisted. There wasn't much rhyme or reason to the letter assignments. The exception was that a ZP or SP number indicated a member of the old, old Permanent Force - someone who had enlisted before 1939!

You actually spent four years as a Pte.
A L/Cpl was GOD.
L/Cpls commanded tanks.
A car was a luxury that few could afford.
Officers drove VW Beetles, and the Troopers drove Dodge Chargers.
An expensive Stereo had a 12" Reel to Reel.
Beta was the best Video recorder.
Draft came in a twelve oz glass and the cost was 2 for a quarter.
The Arty Jrs in Pet attracted all the women from Renfrew County
Chez Charles and Freddies were the places to be when all the Bars closed in Ont at 1230 AM.
Wed night was "Ladies Night" at the Wilno Tavern.
