where can you find a list of what degree is preferred for each occupation?

I had my suspicions as well but he seemed honest. I figured I would trust him and if he turned out to be a crook them I guess I fell for it and atleast have a interesting bracelet for it. If he is honest then I helped out in a small way.

I was on a random site today and a guy was selling bracelets made out of para-cord in which he sent the profits to some organization that helps wounded American veterans. I bought one for ten bucks to help the cause. Does anyone know if anyone is doing something like this for Canadian soldiers...

I am joining the reserves, should be sworn in by the end of the month, so they say, anyways I was just wondering at what point should I be saluting officers, what point should I be saying sir and to who? I read that in the regs its not until you pass some level of BMQ that you are required to...

Thanks for the search link thing it helped. What is ment exactly by business/business casual? Tie and pants, polo shirt and pants?

For swearing in I just had a quick question. I will be going to the reserve unit (Rocky Mountain Rangers) for my swearing in a couple weeks and was just wondering what dress I need to be in? in addition, what is an acceptable hair length? I know the unit will probably tell me but if they dont I...

Ya that really answers my question. I am really hoping to gain some really good marksmanship skills so hopefully I can learn from the best. Thanks

Doesn't all types of weapons use effectively the same tactics though. steady hand, accurate eye sight, good posture and balance. it might be hard to say how anyone shooting compares to others but if you can generally shoot decent, you are capable of shooting well with a majority of firearms.

I'm going to TRU currently in my second year. I want to see how it goes in reserves until I'm done TRU then I'll be deciding between either law school, reg force or RCMP. Either way I believe it will be a great experience for me!

Thanks! I applied for infantry. Are you with the rangers or did you just use the unit for testing for the reg force?

After a process that started last september with a meeting with a meeting in Kamloops, BC at the Rocky Mountain Rangers unit I can finally see the end of my application process coming into sight. After submitting my application, I didn't hear anything till about April when I was called into the...

I have my swear in date to the Rocky Mountain Rangers in September and was just wondering the rules regarding chewing tobacco. I know lots of the men chew but when and where is appropriate?

I handed my application into the Rocky Mountain Rangers today which is pretty sweet. My problem is they only do basic in the summer months and Im not sure if I will have made it or not. I asked the recruiter and he said that he had no idea that it all depends. From the best of your knowledge how...
