What is the mark they expect you to get on the aptitude test for an infantry officer? I looked over the goverment tests that were suggested on this thread. The math i found easy, but the word relation questions were a little confusing.

My favorite general would be General Bill Slim, British Army general in Burma. I suggest if anyone is interested, read his book "Defeat into Victory."

I have a question. Why dosnt the army consider the Land Rover Defender? Cheap on gas, V8 deisel, and it's used by the British and American armies.

Well, I expected that. Its not really a disappointment for me, if anything, i agree with it.

I was told that University students could apply to RMC first or second year, and have a good chance of getting in. My plan is to join the reserves in my first year of UNI to gain some solid experience and to see if im weel suited to military life. From what i know of myself so far, I think id...

Well, ill give you my reasons. 1) Im applying for a Infantry Officer position 2) Im still a student in high school. I am applying for this summer/fall 3) I cant "stop by" because i live in Port McNeill,  800 km from victoria   I was told that if i complete my application, when it is sent...

Recruiter in Victoria

I was told 5000 applicants, and only 300 get accepted every year.

I guess your thinking of mercenaries then? Im not aware of south african division that is multinational. Well, i called up the Canadian scottish brigade in Victoria. They are sending me an application. I hope to use the reserves as a stepping stone to RMC I guess I am in the 'what the heck do...

I laugh when people think the U.S. protects us. Canada is a buffer zone ok, if anything, we protect the U.S. with time, and time is crucial.

77% is not bad. I would consentrate on grade 11 and 12, those grades are critical. Hey, in grade 10 i recieved 74%, so dont feel bad.

Well, looks like the topic moved from the war in Iraq to canadian sovereignty. Well, as a canadian, who feels that the queen is most important to canadian sovereignty and our history. This country is very left. I dont see much for nationalism in canada, and its a shame. Not trying to sound like...

Im currently reading "defeat into victory" by Field Marshal the Viscount Slim. I reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in colonail wars. Slim, in my oppinon, was the best allied commander of WW2. In this book, you realise the lack of attention he recieved in his campaign compared to...

Did i mention in not taking Math 12 either? My course load this year of academics are: History 12 English 12 English literature 12 Comparative civ 12 Law 12 chemistry 12 Now, since i do not have math 12, thats another arrow in my back, but there is always upgrading in college or university.

Well, what im considering is one or two years of university and then apply to RMC. My grade point average in grade 11 was quite poor (74%). My grade 12 grade point average is around 84%, but since RMC looks at both grade 11 and 12 (and maby even grade 10) I dont think I am a competative...

Good for you. You could represent all of us back here seeking a future career. I must say, it must suck waste money. Well, good luck, and i hope to see on the news.

Well, as the world keeps turning, so does change.

2 years is better, my hopes rised again after this post. If i do a University transfer for one year to a british university in my 3rd year of UNI and completed my BA in my final year at a British University, maby i could pull it off. The gears are always turning and new ideas keep springing out.

Well, you wont be seeing them leave reserves or seeing reserves abolished. You must realize, many native people resent the white man. Now, the native people see solving the problem of poverty is increasd reserve sizes, ability to log and fish without restrictions (as their ancsestors did) and...

As someone who lives near 2 native reserves and goes to a highschool that has 20% native population in it, i think i can offer whay i see of the "native problem."  Well, the natives at my school get paid 2 dollars a day to attend highschool. Thus, many non natives feel jelous of this, because...
