True, and no offense, just because you didn't have the resources that new apps do today don't mean they shouldn't either. I would, but that would totally screw up the mods support of the "use the search" function. Yes, I assumed...and when someone assumes, the make a "ASS out of U and ME"...

I have to disagree there. The "entitled" generation is referred to by ANY generation but their own. I think we both have the maturity to realize there are entitled people in EVERY generation, not just the younger people today. I do totally agree with not spoon feeding people, but as I said...

Ah, makes sense. Explains the lack of professionalism here.

Thanks for the info Hatchet Man. The problem with "use the search function" is like 50 out of 51 results in the thread list are all people being told to .... use the search function because once back in the 1980s someone asked how infantry was selected so every time since. When it was asked...

From the people I know over Canada, the RC's are giving different answers... I did happen but we don't have the list yet. I didn't happen. I happened and you weren't selected. Etc. Mine says simply we don't know if it happened or not. We know one was scheduled to happen on X date but haven't...

Thanks Armyvern and CDN Aviator. From here I guess it is just a matter of waiting to see how it all goes.

Looking to clear up some confusion. When I heard about the cut backs I called my RC to try and get some details. I had a friend in BMQ who said they have a nice few people there who are VR'ing now because of the changes. The guy at the RC I talked to said that after BMQ/SQ you are bumped up to...

Okay, that's what I am trying to work out here. I am a currently merit listed with a family, so I am mainly trying to let my wife know we are going to be fine until pay picks up. What about trade training after BMQ / SQ? Which is that considered?

K, so is it related to the length of the course at all?

Wondering mainly what the difference is between IR and TD. Did some searching, found a blog of a army wife who went into some details about IR and the cuts. http://jorgbiz.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/imposed-restriction/...

Grats on the job offer! My trades (infantry) was last week, so we all hope to be hearing on the trade sometime soon. Lewisporte, NL here. Sent you a PM.

The site only list BMQ start dates up to sept 3rd. Does anyone know if the site is just delayed or is there news on when the next one is yet?

The guy doing the interview for me said college / university grade can be used to bump up how good an app is. I'm sure working 5+ years in one place can bump up that grade as well, but I doubt 5 years is the end all to your app... Recruiter 1 "Hey look at this guy, finished top of his class at...

Updated July 3, recruiter just called. Rather excited. One week today all the "testing" will be over with.
