I have been told by a recruiter, Michael, that french Canadians applying to be an infantry officer are traditionally sent to the R22R...any truth to that ?

All in all... it will be a matter of how capable the individual's French/English happens to be.silverbach said:I have been told by a recruiter, Michael, that french Canadians applying to be an infantry officer are traditionally sent to the R22R...any truth to that ?

Actually, 2R22eR now has a Garrison Coy to take care of the Citadelle. This is why the 2nd Batt has a larger authorised strength then the other Batts in the R22eR. It is mostly composed of old Cpls looking for a cushy posting away from the Batts, as in the kit shop, regt'l association, ceremonial clothing stores etc...zishka said:... and far enough from the Citadel garrison ( whom have ALOT of chicken crap details, extra duties and other misery).
geo said:Having an Inf Bn in or very near a major City is great... finding same said unit stranded a couple of miles away from decent training areas is another...
I can do without the 1, 2 or 3 hours in a bus
IMHO

but I still find those 2-3 hr bus rides to the training areas a bit tiresome.
