Hello all, After a cursory search, I couldn't find any info pertaining to my question so I figured I'd ask. Background: Due to a chronic injury, I was placed on PCAT which put me out of current trade specs (crewman) but left me available to stay in the forces. Everything came back from D Med...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to seek out to learn from experience from those who have been in the military (more specifically, the combat arms) and then went off to attend school post-release. Background: It's looking like, since my knees are falling apart, that after 12 years in the army...

Good day all,                   Just got my message for Armoured DP1 starting on 03 Nov 08 until 25 Feb 08. I was just curious to see if anyone would be so kind as to e-mail me a course kit list. The reason for it is for me to weigh against what I have in my possession VS. what has been...

I have searched and asked knowledgeable people, but have yet to get a straightforward answer. I was hoping one of you might be able to help out. Do I show up for DP1 with a black beret and Armoured cap badge (or possibly cornflake), or do I keep my Jimmy cap badge and green beretfrom my old...

So, my remuster is effective 14 jul 08, and I have a few questions. 1. What are the course dates for the next few months? 2.Who would I contact for course loadings? 3. Is it completely unrealistic to ask for a posting in Gagetown?  I have a sigs background, so I was curious if I could be a...

I was just curious to see if anyone who frequents this forum would  have any information on when the Selection board for the reg force Armoured trade is going to meet? All info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Backstory: When i joined a meagre 4 years ago, after doing all of my medical, i was declared fit for armoured. Upon reading my final file, though, they arbitrarily changed my vision from a V3 V4, thus causiing me to reconsider my trades. Longstory short i got stuck with what i got. Now, after...

I have a dilemma. I was talking with a bunch of my peers here in KAf when i started talking about our southern neighbours and called the "yanks".Well, the Sgt overheard this and stormed up to me and told me stop using such foul language and to stop using yank as a racial slurr. He said he'd try...

I've dreamt about remustering to armour as soon as i get my Cpl's in april 2007! However, a little while ago, a Mcpl called me crazy and said it's impossible to remuster down in the number system(i.e. my 215 to 011). I wonder if there is any truth to this.. I would also like to know if anyone...

I was just curious because i just completed my seventh(7) full cycle pre-deployment training. When i told the SGT before i went on the last 2 that i had already done it a bunch of times, he said it's normal to be doing it this many times. So naturally i got curious and wondered what the record...

i was just wondering if there is such a thing as remustering down. I was talking to one of my MCpl's about me wanting to remuster to armoured srom sig op....and he said i can't go from 215 to a 0 trade....that it's against the rules. i just want to know if he's right or full of it. also, i...

When i joined up a couple years ago, the recruiter told me i didn't qualify combat arms(i had picked armour as my first choice)because of my  vision. In light of recent events(i heard the standard went from V2 to v4)and the fact that i am utterly sick of being a sig op. Maybe it's just me, but...
