absolutely, I won't be spending a dime on anything until I complete BMQ.. just curious is all. And now that you ask.. I'm not sure really what the req's are other than being the right cadpat. >.< Thanks for the info!

http://warriorgear.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=11 just wondering if this molle style rig is generally accepted during exercises? I'm sure it differs from unit to unit but it seems to fit all the requirements!

I haven't been able to find out if it is a strictly reg force opportunity, however to my knowledge the reservist MP's are now being trained in almost the exact same fashion as the reg force folks.. (I believe I saw an interview with the Provost Marshall in which he explained the reasoning behind...

Hey an answer is an answer regardless if I like it or not, so I appreciate it! In fact this is good to hear as I'm in the recruiting process for reservist MP (interview with the captain this week) and if I understand correctly after 2-3 years of training I'll be eligible for a lateral transfer...

Thanks a bunch for the links, and I actually just went through the recruiting process for my local departments auxiliary unit. Passed the aptitude testing with flying colors then was unable to complete the physical testing as I had to undergo labrum tear surgery on my shoulder! Was pretty bummed...

Thanks for the info skeletor, any idea what some of those taskings would entail for a reservist MP? (I'm assuming training event security etc) As to joining the reg force.. I love the idea but my overall goal is to get onto a provincial or municipal police force and I think that career choice...

Thank you sir, just gave it a read. My situation now is this - I am currently in my last year of Police Foundations and am looking for a military job that is accompanied by some sort of LE training and or hands on experience. From the looks of it, Air Force reserve MP's seem to have more...

Hello all, Due to the lack of information available (unless I'm looking in the wrong places) I'm posting in hopes of learning more about the day to day duties of an MP reservist and what exactly you do around the base! Looking for info on training, job description (As a reservist) and how any of...

Thanks for the info and first hand experiences guys, that's why I posted on these forums in the first place! I've never really consider the SaR route for a canine handling career.. to my knowledge those positions are mostly volunteer?

Fair enough, as you mentioned in your previous post you've had experience in the field with a canine unit whereas I've had none.. maybe i'll get into the sapper trade and hope in the future that I'll get an opportunity to be trained in handling. Thanks for the enlightenment !

I'll be careful here as I'm not a member of the forces.. but it seems like there's a few high priority things that are quite needed by the military that it doesn't have. Now could you explain what would be a better explosive / threat detecting / room clearing tool than a Belgian Malinois? Not...

Nice find!! I'll be sure to give them a ring as I've already got most of the training / licensing. Thanks eh!

skeletor I'm quite aware of the fact that I won't get hired into a canine unit right off the bat and I've been interested in becoming a police officer for several years now. I wasn't assuming whatsoever that my volunteer animal handling experience would qualify me for anything - just mentioning...

Heck if you know any Canadian canine contractors.. let me know! Till then looks like I better start practicing the PATI.. Thanks again for the prompt and informative responses folks

Correct me if I'm wrong - but its starting to look like when the CF need a canine to get a job done.. they call one in from somewhere else rather than maintaining their own unit. Not surprising but a little disappointing!

Care to elaborate? Any information I've found so far about canine handlers in the CF all states that the positions are contracted out to American companies. (aside from the drugs and firearm's labradors that the MP's use..) Here is a quote from an article about the CF doubling the number of...

Thanks for the links mariomike! So apparently the only units utilizing a canine are the MP's and those dogs aren't even trained through the CF.. I'm assuming that the training for the handler is provided by a 3rd party then as well? Quite frankly it doesn't seem like canines are used much...

Hey all, first time poster here but long time reader.. (And not  exactly sure what board to post this thread in) I'll start off by stating I'm not currently in the forces, (reserves or regular) but have been looking at joining for quite some time. My questions are these: - Are there any...
