Excuse me, a female ex-CF member coming through to give you her valuable opinion from a woman's point of view.
If a woman had made the same comment as Eye in the Sky, would you have called it Womansplaining?
Do you have issue with people explaining things to you in general? If so you may...
ACISS is a good choice for equipment tinkering. Lots of comm equipments that need setup and troubleshooting. You'll get to set up basic computer networks as well.
Not so much math or languages with ACISS however, but sometimes on the radio it's like trying to decipher a foreign language.
Are you...
Then you may be even more surprised that many departments have been subjected to paid parking for years already, and Taj will not be the exception. In fact, There's such a lack of parking some people are willing to pay more than market price just to get to work by car.
Write down a list of most appealing/least appealing things about each trade. If you still can't decide, flip a coin and see if you're disappointed with the result.
BEW are issued to everyone, but if you don't ask to get prescription inserts (ie. talk to your unit chain of command, make the eye exam appointment), no one's going chase you down. I've been on a couple reserve courses and not everyone who wore glasses had inserts. Those who didn't, the staff...
Be proactive in getting your ballistic prescription inserts before the course or you may have to wear your own glasses. Also make sure the ballistic eyewear fits your face properly. I've had issues with ill fitting glasses (my own fault) that would slide down or get knocked out of place when I...
If you currently wear glasses, you should have an idea of your prescription. See this link for estimate prescription to vision category.

When I was in university I used to carry both my regular civie backpack and smallpack (stuffed with uniform and boots) to school on the day of parade night. Unit was close to school, which was 2hrs commute away from home. So I was definitely seen on campus in civies and wearing a smallpack. ...
Do you have nothing to do because you're an untrained private? If so just stick with it until you get your trade courses done. See if the QM or OR need any help on your parade nights. Review your drills, weapons trg.
I'm not actively parading right now, but in my unit, parade nights are almost...

While there's nothing wrong with joining CF primarily for job security and a salary, as your first post suggests, you will however be competing with many others whose dreams and aspirations have always pointed them to CF. Do you have the right attitude, initiative, leadership skills to be an...
Actually, the instructor was going by the pam (I think that's the right word...I assume it's the official lesson reference book) but the Sgt was going by the drill he actually used in real-life combat. Of course, when we were finally tested, we had to "unlearn" it again. There were more than one...
At my SQ, the reg force Sgt (who subbed for a few classes) often corrected the moves that the Res instructor had taught us. So we just shut our mouths and learn both ways :)
If a person is clueless enough to say "Well in cadet we did drill this way", he probably would be the same type who would say "Well in the reserves we did our section attacks like this". No one at RMC would be impressed either way. Some of you seems to think just joining reserves would make one...
This may also depend on your friend's age. First he'll have to go through the application process, which can be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Before he can fully participate on parade nights and weekend exercises, he'll have to first complete BMQ. By this time it may already be time to...
