Hey guys. I've been researching the army reserves for quite a while, and am getting closer to being able to apply (I have some health and fitness goals I want to reach first). I live in Winnipeg where there are 6 different army reserve units. In my understanding, to apply to the reserves, you should go directly to the unit where you are seeking a job. I also know that I should have 3 trade choices for my application. The thing is, the trades I'm interested in are, for the most part, offered at different units! Is my best bet to submit one application online listing all the trades and hope that the application is forwarded to all of the appropriate units, or should I go in person to each unit separately and apply there? 4/6 army reserve units in Winnipeg offer trades that I am interested in so it seems like it'd be a lot of running around to apply if that is the case, but I'm also worried about messing up my application by listing trades that aren't all available in one unit.
I also have a related question regarding the navy reserve. In Winnipeg there is only one navy reserve unit, but it offers a few trades that the army reserve does not, which I am interested in. Is it possible to apply to both environments at once? Alternately, is it possible to apply to the navy if my application for the army is rejected/I don't get a job offer, or would a rejection from one environment mean a definite rejection from other environments?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but this is all stuff I've tried to figure out via research and had trouble finding the answers. I'd go to my local recruiting office, but I'm always at work when it's open, unfortunately.
