I can see the the use of infantry, armoured, and logistic support being used on peacekeeping missions which is the only thing the Canadian army seems to do, but when was the last time the artillery used their guns on a peacekeeping or peacemaking mission?

The CEOTP program for infantry was open up until last year because they could not find enough people with full degrees. I do not think you will have any problems, and I could make a small bet that the CEOTP program will open again in a year or two. I am in my third year, second term of BA degree...

I was told by 2 recruiters at the CFRC Vancouver that you need chem or phys and math 12 along with the degree to go infantry officer. Also to clear some things up in B.C when I graduated high school in 1995 you needed to have math 11 and a science twelve in order to graduate. SFU, BCOU my...

I am a third year university student and my advice to you is to do your first year of school first before you even think about being an officer. I no many people who go for a year or two then drop out. Make sure you can make it through university before even thinking about being an officer...

If you join the paras or royal marines you will go to Norther Ireland. If you join any infantry unit over there you will probably go, but marines and paras YOU WILL GO!!!!!! Any para or marine I have ever meet who has been in for a few years has gone to do their 4 months

Well if you join the British army you will go to Northern Ireland were the IRA threat is still very real.

How do you think? do what I did phone the directory in England and they will give you no for directory in litcfield. Also Capt Hall served in both units and is proud of both so he will not give you shitty advice on one or the other

I served in the parachute regiment. Phone Litchfield training depot and ask for Capt Hall he will give you advice on both units the Marines and teh Paras. Tell him Aubry and Berry say hello he will no what you are talking about >:D
