I have searched every topic to try to find an answer to this question and I have found little snippits that do answer certain parts of it so I decided to make a topic.
My question is, is there any advantages to being in different regiments and/or batallions with regards to the type of training you can get? I am going to be station at one of the PPCLI batallions and I know that airborne troops are in the 3rd PPCLI. Does that mean if I'm put in the 1st or 2nd PPCLI does that mean I am out of luck to join the airborne, or is it just harder, or does it not make a difference at all?
Same goes with training like the CSOR which, correct me if I'm wrong, is done in Petawawa. Is there a better chance of being chosen to go through selection if your station at the base of the training?
I am really just wondering because I was given this information from someone who doesn't have any experience in the military, its just hearsay, I wanted to get some information here before I ask my recruiter. I was going to re-badge during my BMQ (which will be starting in 2 weeks for me in Borden) to RCR because I was told there is a better chance at being chosen to go through selection for CSOR by being stationed there. And seing on how CSOR, and really JTF-2 is my long term goal, I want to get the best advantage as I can before being stationed.
Thanks in advance.
