54/102 CEF, Thanks for the reply, however it seems maybe you didn't understand the point of my post the first time.  I am talking about an MO which enrolled under the MOTP program and thus has always been a full-time force member.  Would the requirement for full pension be 25 or 20 years given...

From what I gather, the new pension plan now requires 25 years of service before being eligible for full pension. Does this apply to MOs as well?  I reckon a lot of MOs join later than their combat arms counterparts due to the need to get a bachelors before entering med school, which would push...

Yeah, the US NAVY commercials are definitely awesome.  I think I remember some guys repelling out of a helicopter and onto a zodiac, speeding around on sea-doos and some SEALs operations.  Towards the end of the commercial it says "And to think, some poor guy out there is driving a...

Hello Canadian.Trucker, You are right in that I WILL be required to attend CAP.  Mind sharing some information on the subject? :)

Okay. So I am not 100% sure it is based in St-Jean.  Though I think I do remember the recruiting staff telling me this...

Hello, It seems like I shall be attending the weekend-based BMQ course held in Saint-Jean this fall.  Seeing as to how I am applying to become an officer, this would make me an OCdts mixed in along with the NCMs.  After a search, and reading most of the posts on this forum, it seems this isn't...

I'm located in Montreal.  This BMQ is given at St-Jean.

Hello. I've recently gotten the good news that I passed the selection comittee interview and they are recommending me for HCA Officer with the 51st Fd Amb.  I spoke with the recruiting cell there and they told it's already too late for summer IAP/BOTP but that I would start my training in...

This story is truly amazing, what an outstanding man.

Hello, I recently contacted my local reserves field ambulance (51st) to enquire about recruiting opportunities.  I've been told that because I'm in my second year of a microbiology degree I would be eligible to become a Health Care Administrator in the reserves.  Or so, I gathered. I was...

I'm currently applying to the reserves from the CFRC based in Montreal. I've enquired about their LASIK stance and I've been told that whenever the ophtalmologist signs that you're ok to go, they'll take you. They've said this usually takes between 1-3 months with most ophtalmologists waiting...

Hello, I'm currently in my second year (out of three) towards a bachelor's degree at McGill University.  I recently submitted an application to be an infantry officer in the reserves.  However, I was unaware of the vision requirements for the combat arms at that time and unfortunately, I would...

Not trying to cheat. But I can almost swear I remember being able to see that E.  Or maybe it's because I know it's an E and could make it out more clearly... Regardless, if I get V4 I'll ask to apply as a MED-A since I ultimately want to become a doctor... But am I right in saying one only...

Hello. I've applied to be an infantry officer in the reserves and I've only today found out about the vision requirements for this MOC. Sadly, my eyes are pretty bad (-5.25 and -5.75). However, according to my own little research, it seems to get qualified as V3 all you need to be able to read...

Hey guys, I've called my local unit, local CFRC and even asked questions at the information session given by my local unit.  Unfortunately I've gotten three different answers every time. I'm currently in my 2nd year working towards a bachelors in microbiology/immunology.  I've applied to join as...
