    New Dress Regs 🤣

    Old style ankle boots vs the newer clompers, which have been the target of more than one audacious new WO as a target for promoting and enforcing uniformity.

    New Dress Regs 🤣

    We already do. We have 3 different uniforms routinely on parades mixed together, which include 3 different head dresses and footwear differences between officers, NCM's and mbrs who have been in longer.

    Application from Reservist to JTFF2

    They do not remove people who are successfully passing SOAC for the simple sake of keeping the edge sharp. Hell, even guys who are unsuccessful at a particular module have been and are invited back to attend the following years SOAC if it's determined during the PRB that they're a trainable...

    Combat Boots policy 2018-CANFORGEN 127/18

    The CAF is still responsible to provide recruits footwear, lets hope that's what this is for.

    CFB Cold Lake Thread- Merged

    You may believe so, but you'd be naive to the Cold Lake-isms that take place once you're destined for that base. There are 6 units (AETE not included) in which an ACS tech can be posted to; 401, 409, 410, 417, 1 AMS and 10 FTTS...they're all under the purview of Cold Lake's own ETO. That base is...

    CFB Cold Lake Thread- Merged

    First, I would be skeptical of anyone telling you that you have a choice of units if you're still not in. Unless you're talking to the Cold Lake ETO/DETO or ACS trade advisor, you're not speaking with the people who make those decisions. Where you end up on the wing is the ETO's discretion, the...

    OFP timelines for CANSOF

    You're probably SOL then. The VOT-U CANFORGEN typically drops same time of year as the others, and right in the CANFORGEN it states that an applicant shall not be removed from trg until they accept an offer. For any OT application this year, an offer would not arrive until spring 2022. The only...

    OFP timelines for CANSOF

    This is the important bit, are you untrained or have you reached OFP in your current trade? If you've reached your OFP in your current trade, and are looking to apply to another then you're bound to whatever TOS you agreed to upon entering your current trade. Sounds like they have a 3 year...

    CANSOFCOM Reserves

    If by training in Ottawa you mean SOAC, absolutely not. The only reserve position for Assaulters are filled by veterans of the unit who have corporate knowledge to impart, a new member who's reservist would have very little to contribute.

    SAR Pilots

    SAR pilots are made up of fixed wing multi engine stream pilots. So while you're unlikely to deploy in a SAR capacity, the likelihood of being posted to a transport unit is quite high and they're operating outside the country on a near continuous basis in some capacity.

    Application from Reservist to JTFF2

    Old club, old rules. It is woefully inadequate and gauge water comfort and competency, so I urge anyone interested to not take that as the level required.

    Am I too old, unfit or uncertain?

    Joining the infantry now and at your age just seems like a recipe for disappointment. Sure there are opportunities for cool courses if you do well, but at the end of the day, it's still just training. Combine that with dealing with the sort of nonsense guys in garrison get put through just to...

    Leave Administration - Op LASER

    This thread reminds me of Matt Damon's character communicating with robots in Elysium. Sorry, humanoid....but, life's, not, fair.

    Application from Reservist to JTFF2

    So long as you show up and put out, the "encouragement" or discouragement is going to be pretty neutral and very clinical. They don't need to tell you that you're not cut out, the monumental physical and mental challenges will have those unfit weed themselves out, or you'll find out at the end...
