    Pronouncing Carbine?

    Ok, to me, it looks like it's pronounced carbine (rhymes with nine or fine). However, I was watching a Discovery Channel special on the US Navy SEALs, and one of the SEALs (didn't notice name/rank) kept pronouncing it  like car-been (or car-bean). So, I would like to know so I don't sound like...

    Transferring between reserve units?

    In my neverending quest to figure out what I want to do with my life, I've come a little closer to my decision. I found an Audio Engineering School in Toronto that I'm all but positive that I want to go to (planning for next Sept. giving me time to save up enough cash). If I were to join a...

    Canadian Peacekeeper "Combat Watchband" My watch band broke. Actually, the stitching in the leather piece that loops around the pin to secure the strap came undone. I'm looking for one that'll last, be comfortable while working out, and generally work. So?

    Post-training living arrangements

    Ok, I didn't see this in the FAQ or any results when I searched, so here I ask. After completing BMQ/SQ/OL3, and you're with your unit, what kind of living conitions can a single person expect? On base? Off base? In an apartment? In a house with other soldiers? And, am I correct in...

    How badly will this affect my application?

    Ok, I just finished school for the year. However, the program I was in (Software Engineering) ended up not being what I was looking for. So, I ended up losing interest, and I did poorly (I failed a course that was mandatory to progress into the next semester, and the others wern‘t much better)...

    Haircuts

    OK, so what are the regulations regarding hairstyle for men. How short, is there a ‘too short‘? Who cuts it, and how often? Do reservists have to get this done on their own time (as I would assume)?

    Reserves: Open House / Job Fairs [Merged]

    I‘ve got pretty much the same decision. I know the Rileys are having an Open House/Recruiting Display at the Royal Canadian Legion, 828 Legion St. Burlington, on Saturday. So, if you want to check them out, that would probably be a good time.
