I believe young Mr Wong was decribing his future plans, after he leaves Cadets.

I know this is pure speculation but you can do both cadets and reserves at the same time and I do actually know a couple of people who do.  RMC then CIC?  Theoretically possible but only if he was booted out or quit RMC.  If he actually completed RMC there would have been the CF commitment afterwards but CIC officers only need high school

 

[Wookilar]

Fly in the conspiracy theory time:

There are also (and have been for a long time) RETP's at RMC (Reserve Entry Training Plan). Reservists that pay money to go to RMC. No commitment, owe nothing to the CF. If you can do Reserves and CIC at the same time, than it is possible.

Ex infantry reservist, now going through my 3's at Borden for Vehicle Tech. Enjoying every minute of it.

I'm Retired from the military and the police service. (Retired not dead!  ;D)

I retired from the U. S. Army Reserve, after 30+ years of service in both the Regular Army and Reserve. (I did spend a few years of that time, in the U. S. Air Force Reserve and Washington State Air National Guard.) I'm a Korean War Veteran, where during that time I served in the 14th Ranger Infantry Company (ABN.) and the 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th ID. Actually, I did two hitches in the regular Army starting in '47 at 15 years old. My first hitch was in Japan '47 to '49 with both the 1st Cavalry Division and 25th ID. (WW II Occupation duty.) When I got back from Korea I wasn't happy with the Army and decided to go Air Force Reserve and keep my rank, etc. in case I wanted to go back.

Around 1961. I left the Air Guard to go back to the Army Reserve, after seeing an ad, for ex-paratroopers to join the US Army's Special Forces local Reserve unit. (Cost me a stripe, both ways.) So, I signed up and got qualified. I spent most of my career in the Army Reserve in the Special Forces Reserve unit(s).

As for my Civilian career, I joined the King County Sheriff's Department, Seattle, WA in 1956. I had many assignments and did most of all the crazy stuff, the department had to offer. (Sometimes because of my military career, they came to me when they were going to start one of these 'specialities.') Let's see I rode motorcycle's, was a search & recovery SCUBA diver, Bomb Technician and SWAT team member. I was also the commander of the Traffic unit, Bomb Disposal Unit, SWAT and Dignitary Protection unit prior to my retirement in 1990.

I made it from Deputy Sheriff to Captain (Civil Service ranks) over my 34 years on the department.

Sounds like you got a lot of material that could go into a book. Are you going to write about your adventures? They sure are varied and I bet there'd be a lot of interest in your story.

Don't worry, people around here can get pretty wound up from time to time as well. 
Welcome to the board!  Your experience here will be most appreciated (at least by anyone who counts) and I look forward to seeing you in the posts.

Oh boy can they ever! ;D

Welcome to the site, it will be great to hear the point of view of someone with your background and life experience.

 

[Trip_Wire]

Hmmm.... Write a book?

Yeah, I have thought about it, especially the police service part of my life. The diving and bomb disposal units would make some fairly exciting reading as well as some humor. I have also, thought at my age, my children might appreciate a sort of journal of my life experiences, etc. So far, I haven't done anything to accomplish this task. I'll have to leave out a lot of my adventures in Occupied Japan.  :

Actually, since I've retired from both the military and police service, I wonder sometimes how I found time to 'work,' I keep so busy in retirement. I do spend a lot of time on my computer and I'm very active, in my local Chapter of the Special Forces Association's Chapter XVI. I'm also the Chapter President of the NW Chapter of the 1st Cavalry Division Association and do their newsletter.

My wife likes to cruise, so we 'do' two cruises a year. Right now, I'm taking off, to do a Trans Atlantic cruise. We're flying to Copenhagen over the 'Pole' to board the Princess Star and visit the UK, Reykjavik, Qaqortoq, St. Johns, NF and end in New York. (15 Days.)

Earlier this year we did a 15 Day round trip from Los Angeles through the Panama Canal and back! So, we do keep busy!

If I live long enough, perhaps, I'll write something, most likely just for my family.  ;D
