I was also curious, once I've completed basic, and the basic moc for infanteers, how does further trainning work?  Will I get a choice to apply for various trainning and the order they come in?  or do I get whatever they offer should they even offer it? Also, if I'm given a choice what courses...

Just curious, was looking at a thread earlier with pictures posted.  And noticed that the soldiers were wearing the Arid Terrain gear.  I haven't been following the latest on equipment, but when the first rotation of troops and second went to Afghanistan they were wearing the regular CADPAT...

Well, I started the joining process back in September 2003, and I‘m almost in. I just thought I could provide an example of the recruitment process which probably is typical in many ways. Bare in mind that this is for an NCO joining regular force, I don‘t know if it would be much different for...

Planning to go to the recruitment office here in Victoria soon. Checked out the DND sites on joining and whatnot, but I‘m still unclear on much of the joining process. What should I expect to happen? If I am accepted, what happens then? Do I go home and wait for them to call me to go off to...

Hey there folks, I‘m a 19 year old male finishing high school. When I graduate, my marks wont be good enough to get into University right away, (i‘d probably have to do a year of college then get accepted). My problems in school and lack of marks has nothing to do with me being stupid, or...
