Mack674 said:Does anyone know how many spots there are on this particular roto?
I heard that something like 150 names were put forward for the workup beginning in may, and then there would be a selection process or something.
RHFC said:Yes 150 people. And in Ontario I know they are doing there training for the tour every other weekend.
Mack674 said:are the guys youre talking about going on roto 6, or roto 7 ?
RHFC_piper said:The only way to get on CIMIC for this TF (for the most part) is to be female since only women can talk to women over there.
recceguy said:As CIMIC, the males in our Det dealt with women all the time over there.
Mack674 said:RHFC, what you said sounds pretty much the same about whats going on here with us for roto7.
I hope they didnt just randomly pick the guys to be augmentees? Id much rather be part of the augmentee force than do gate guard, but whatever happens is fine.... what was it in particular they looked at when choosing who goes where? Or did they just cut everybody in half and say you guys here, the rest over here?
So, its not random... but there are people who are currently augmentees who make me look like a super soldier... But keep in mind, its just selection trg now... everything will change in pre-trianing. Nothing is for sure until you hit the ground in the A-stan.

Have many times have you seen a complete bag of hammers get a good PDR because their boss doesn't want to (or is told not to) say hey look this kid needs to be surprivised when tying his shoes.
A reservist craps the bed all summer, gets a good assessment and heads back to their unit where the leadership reads it and says HEY good job we'll send you back next year. Vicious cycle.
The regular force are great for catching these guys and saying HEY your outta here! Have faith brother
