Mods, this thread can be locked. I found out from my husband's reserve unit orderly room that we won't get the ETP message until he signs and returns some paperwork - which is going to be interesting in the middle of this Op. And we can't answer any pay questions until we get the ETP message.

Zoomie - thanks for the advice about the BOR, but they're leaving for the Huntsville area tomorrow morning. His unit down here is going to have fun getting him the Voluntary Release paperwork, but that's something the clerk and I will be working on starting tomorrow. BTW, his Bell phone has...

What info do you need to know? My husband has absolutely no internet access while on Op Cadence, and limited cell access. I've been doing the back and forth with the recruiter, with the recruiter's knowledge. Because of the Op, our timeframe feels EXTREMELY compressed - we have a house that...

So, we did decide to accept the offer presented to my husband last week (Monday or Tuesday, I think it was). Since the congratulatory email, I haven't heard anything from his recruiting officer by email. When can we expect to receive the posting message, and how will it arrive? I'm guessing the...

Thanks for the clarification on spec pay - we honestly hadn't been sure if he qualified for it yet. TBH, though, even the standard pay is craptons better than he could make working full time in Windsor. The difference is, I'll likely be looking for a job up there, unless we get a crazy good deal...

Thanks to those who have helped so far. Turns out my husband WAS able to get internet access tonight, and was able to print the letter. He's getting "translations" from folks up at Meaford, too. If we do decide to accept the offer, what a summer we're in for! I can't imagine having the house...

Greetings! My husband just received an offer letter for OT/CT to GeoTech. He's having a hard time getting internet access up at Meaford (he's deployed as part of Op Cadence). Could I private message someone some of the details? It's all military speak to me, and I don't really understand what...

Also, be prepared for even more schooling if you decide to go for Geomatics as an NCM. My husband is currently waiting for an offer for this. Even though he has a geomatics/civil engineering degree from Ryerson, he's likely to have to attend Algonquin for 2 years w/ the Army's program. Of...

I'm sure those who are actually IN the Reserves will pop in and answer, but here's what I can tell you as the WIFE of a reservist: 1 - If I become a reservist, I will only train on weekends. - True? IME, there will be a parade night sometime during the week, as well as some weekend...

Apologies if I get some acronyms, etc wrong in this. My husband has been a reservist w/ the Windsor Regiment, 13 years total. He put in last year for an OT/CT to get into Military Mapping. We understand that he will likely be going to Algonquin College this fall, but we haven't received an...
