CFB for Engineer

[Gulruthina]

Hi,

Does anyone know what would be the best CFB base for Combat Engineers, in terms of environment, how close it is to the City and etc?

 

[George Wallace]

You could use Google....Google is your friend.  Do you speak French?  Do you like "Camping"?  So many questions.  So few clues what you really want.

The "best" for one person is "hell" for another.

Why don't you tell us what you like/prefer and we can tell you what bases match.

If by "the City" you mean Toronto, Petawawa is probably your best bet.  For a first posting anyway.

Right from the Forces website:

On successful completion of Basic MOC Training, Combat Engineers can expect to be posted to one of the following units:

1 Combat Engineer Regiment (1 CER) in Edmonton, Alberta;
2 Combat Engineer Regiment (2 CER) in Petawawa, Ontario;
4 Engineer Support Regiment (4 ESR) in Gagetown, New Brunswick; or
5e Régiment du génie de combat (5 RGC) in Valcartier, Quebec.

I did some research and CFB Edmonton seems to be the closest one to the City, I think.

You'll get posted to where your are needed the most......

From the CME CWO Conf:

1 and 5 CER are shrinking but 2 and 4 are growing, Sqn each,  moving posns around.

Can you live in the quarters on the base? Similar to a dorm?
