Alright your sure, what are you sure about. In my opinion the faq's on all the police department sites are extremely vaque. I have checked with mariomike's threads and looked at the police websites that talk about military experience. Hamilton and Peel state: "Each applicant is viewed...

Ahh okay my apologies for the mistake, I appreciate your help. I think I remember hearing something about that a few years ago. I will have to look into that now. I definably agree with you. You may or may not come out of the military a more skilled person. However wouldn't you be able to...

Hey thank you for that. Regardless I am aware of these opportunities but just through another name, Auxillary. I know someone currently taking this program in Niagara Falls. Out of several hundred that applied, about 10 were chosen. Calling it extremely difficult to get into is about right. I...

That is an excellent idea. I guess the CF website is more zoned in and directed towards full timers? I managed to find a large list of all the reserve units in Toronto. I am actually surprised to see how many showed up. I thought that there would be a few at most but I think it was about 15 or...

I apologize if I wasn't clear in my post, I guess I stated reserves and infantry in two separate paragraphs.  But as you stated, that is the overall plan of mine. I wish to work reserve hours (weekends/parade) and have another job as well, volunteering whenever I can. I live in Mississauga...

Greetings ladies and gents, Long time member here returning after many years of inactivity. Top reason to explain my return is due to my recent application to the CF. I joined the forum back on 2007 asking tidbits of questions here and there throughout the years while schooling. All I can say...

I have wanted to join the military for many years now. I have come to the conclusion that I will join the reserves so that i can balance University and the military. However, I am curious how BMQ works for the winter/summer seasons. Does winter BMQ differ from summer by being on weekends only at...

Wow, really good video and very interesting.

Of those who might be interested, i just wanted to say that there is a Army display at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. This small shows different military vehicles such as the Lav III (which you can go inside) and a tank. You can also pick up support the troops t-shirts I believe...

Thanks a lot everyone for the help. I am a step closer to getting on the right path. Im glad theres a place such as this that helps people get the information they need. If you have more to say though, im listening, I'll be with this post until the end.

Apologies Admin. And Conq, only that many hours? I'm not saying thats bad, its actually a very nice deal during school, but doesnt me provide enough hours during the summer. hmmmm

thx for the info, just two things on my mind. convincing parents  :( and i cant start early b/c i still have school you see, and i cant start late b/c id have school also , once again another  :( is deserved. also, what are the hours like as i mentioned? can i join reservist and ask for more...
