====Cadet Service====
Former cadets can receive credit towards promotion in the [[Militia]] and [[Regular Force]]. Here is what the references have to say:

;From CFAO 6-1 -- ENROLMENT - REGULAR FORCE

:;RANK ON ENROLMENT

:9. Non-Commissioned Members. An applicant for enrolment as an NCM shall be enrolled in the rank of private with the status level of private (recruit) (Pte (R)), except as follows:

:A former cadet of any of the Canadian cadet organizations who has completed three years as a cadet within the previous five years, during which time the cadet has passed a six-week trade or specialty course, shall be enrolled as Pte (R) and be granted a time credit of 180 days for the purposes of determining the date on which the member will become eligible to be paid the rate of pay prescribed for a private, pay level 1, incentive pay category 1.

:Note - For Army cadets, qualification as Master Cadet, and for Air cadets, a flying scholarship or two completed summer camp courses, each of two weeks duration, will be considered equivalent to a six-week trade or specialty course. For Sea cadets, two completed summer camp courses will be considered equivalent to a six-week trade or specialty course.

;From CFAO 49-5 -- CAREER POLICY - NON-COMMISSIONED MEMBER -PRIMARY RESERVE

:3. On enrolment, re-enrolment or transfer, a member who has had former service in the Canadian Forces or in a cadet unit, or service with another country, may be granted a time credit for promotion to Cpl and above, in accordance with this paragraph and as determined by the enrolment authority pursuant to 49-11. The time credit or seniority granted shall apply only to the rank granted on enrolment as follows:

Former cadets of any of the Canadian Cadet organizations may be granted time credit for promotion in recognition of qualifications they have obtained prior to enrolment. The amount of credit shall be determined by CHQ.

;From CFAO 49-12 -- PROMOTION POLICY -OFFICERS -PRIMARY RESERVE ANNEX A -- MINIMUM QUALIFYING TIME IN RANK FOR ENTRY TO PROMOTION ZONE FOR NEXT HIGHER RANK

:2. Qualifying time for entry to the promotion zone for the next higher rank is reckoned from the date of seniority in the present rank, except that:

:cadets who have served a minimum of two years in the rank of warrant officer and above may be granted one year qualifying time in the rank of lieutenant for promotion to the rank of captain.

====Criminal Record====
Having a criminal record may or may not preclude a career in the Canadian Forces, either Regular or Reserve, as an NCM or an Officer. A pardon is not necessarily mandatory either. The CF requires applicants to be "of good character" and have no outstanding obligations to the legal system, such as :
* family court issues
* pending charges
* outstanding fines
* are on probation, parolem, etc.

A criminal record will be one of the facts considered when an application is submitted, as will the seriousness of the offence.

From the army.ca forum:
:''My own personal experience: I have a criminal record for impaired driving dating back to 1992, when I was 19. It did not keep me from joining the Reserves as an Officer. In addition, I am currently applying for transfer to the Reg Force, and my file will go before the selection board in May. Now, I was advised that although it will not automatically prevent me from being selected, it will be taken into account with all other facts in my file (education, experience, interview, etc.)''[http://army.ca/forums/index.php/topic,12896.0]

Another component of every application is a security check; entry into the officer ranks may require a higher security clearance than an NCM position, as well as the possible requirement of a pardon for all convictions, depending again on the seriousness of the offence.

Mkil: Will -> may, individual qualities

[[Image:Intelligence_crest.gif|right]]

== General ==

=== Role ===

The role of intelligence is to provide advice to the commander to enable him/her to make appropriate decisions.

=== Branch Motto ===

E Tenebris Lux (From Darkness, Light)

=== Branch March Past ===

Eine Kleine Nacht Musik (Mozart)

=== Branch History ===

*1885 - The Royal Corps of Guides is formed to perform light cavalry and scouting duties during the Northwest Rebellion. The guides are represented by the scarlet in the current branch badge.
*WWI - The Canadian Intelligence Corps (C Int C) is formed. The corps is represented by the green in the current branch badge.
*1968 - Unification of the forces results in the demise of the C Int C, and the remnants are lumped in with the security branch. This period in branch history is represented by the thin white line in the current branch badge.
*29 October 1982 - The intelligence branch stands up in its current form.

== Regular Force ==

Intelligence is a purple trade, meaning members may serve in all 3 elements, regardless of their "home" element.

=== Qualification Requirements ===

From DND recruiting website:

INT OPs must be able to maintain and operate Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Systems. They must have a superior ability to collect, evaluate, analyse and integrate information and intelligence. They must be inquisitive, accurate, possess a superior memory for detail and be objective when processing intelligence. INT OPs must be able to work with a minimum of supervision, always exercising sound judgement, initiative and resourcefulness. They must possess superior oral and written communication skills.

INT OPs must have fundamental knowledge of military intelligence, gained through formal courses and professional development.

Entry Plans: The Intelligence Operator occupation is usually available through Occupation Transfer. Preferred candidates should have at least a high school diploma or equivalent. Knowledge of other languages, multi-cultural experience and operational experience are considered an asset.

Other applicants to be considered are:

*Civilian personnel who have formerly served in the CF
*Component Transfer applicants who are re-enrolling or transferring from the Reserve

Candidates must meet the CF medical standards and successfully complete a selection process. During the selection phase applicants must demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills. The minimum security clearance required for the Basic Qualification Level Intelligence Course (QL5A) is level 2, but INT OPs must qualify for level 3, Special Access clearance.

== Reserve Force ==

Reserve Force units seek occupational transfers, but some units may also hire Int Ops and Intelligence Officers "off the street", depending on current requirements, staffing levels, and individual qualities potential recruits present.

=== Units ===
* 6 Int Coy (HQ in Edmonton, with detachments in Vancouver and Winnipeg)
* 2 Int Coy (Toronto)
* 2 Int Pl (Ottawa)
* 772 EW Sqn (Kingston)
* 4 Int Coy (Montreal)

Infantryman

2006-07-25T17:53:04Z

Mkil: Militia->PRes; Infanteer

'''Infantryman''' is a [[trade]] in the Canadian Army, with openings in both the [[Regular Force]] (full time) and the [[Primary Reserve]] (full-time or part-time).

==Reserve Infantry==
The reserve infantry do a number of different things depending on what rotation their training cycle is in.[http://army.ca/forums/index.php/topic,1821.0.html] These training cycles might include Defensive Operations, Patrolling, or Offensive Operations. In each cycle, different skills are taught and units seek to be proficient in all cycles, generally devoting a [[training year]] to a single type of operations.

On a [[parade evening]] the [[platoon]](s) will spend time in lectures on everything from mine awareness to First Aid to learning regimental history. They will also be checking equipment required on upcoming weekend [[exercise]]s, for example examining [[tent group]]s to ensure lanterns and stoves are working properly.

On a typical weekend [[exercise]] (FTX) infantrymen generally arrive at their armouries at around 18:30, receive weapons, ammunition, and rations, and load onto vehicles to be transported to a [[training area]]. The weekend is spent in the field, possibly in a [[tactical]] environment depending on the nature of the exercise.

===Infanteer===
Infantrymen are properly addressed as infantrymen. Infanteer is a colloquialism, and though used in certain circles, is not the correct term.

== Historical Progression ==
Many Infanty Regiments have come and gone since Confederation. Canada did not have designated infantry regiments until May 1900, when all existing Militia battalions were redesignated. In 1920, a massive reorganization of Canada's land forces saw all infantry regiments redesignated and the archaic system of numbering the regiments was abandoned. Many reorganizations were also made, reflecting the need to perpetuate the histories, traditions and battle honours won by the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the First World War.

A second set of sweeping reorganizations occurred in 1936 as the Canadian military modernized; again, many older designations were lost and many small regiments were amalgamated (combined) into larger regiments.

During the Second World War, many former infantry regiments converted to armour, and some regiments changed roles in the post-war period also, as the process of evolution continued through the Cold War and Canada's defence needs changed.

By the 1970s, the designations and roles of Canadian infantry regiments stabilized, and other than minor changes in designation, only two major changes have occurred since 1968.

*In 1995, the [[The Canadian Airborne Regiment]] was disbanded.
*In 2006 the [[Canadian Special Operations Regiment]] was formed.

Although traditionally called Infantrymen or Infantrywoman, ''Infanteer'' has gained in popular usage. This term specifies any soldier employed in any infantry role.
