Lassitude posted:When I was on Op Nanook a while back I traded a pair of cadpat trousers for a ranger sweater. Does that make me an honorary ranger? Not really, Canadian Rangers, believe it or not, for the most part take themselves pretty seriously. They are very proud of the unique role that they fill within the CF. They see their red hoodies in the same light that the rest of us see our uniforms. The status of "Canadian Ranger" is never confered readily or easily. Now for the the GG. She can wear any uniform she wants. (and looks good in it too!)

I've only seen about 48 hrs of Gagetown, and that was on Thursday-Saturday when the base was officially closed, so I have no idea what to expect when I return from my Christmas leave. You'll enjoy CAP, but it will be a worlds of difference from what you did at St Jean. It will definitely have that "army" flavour, and prepare you for phase 3 and 4 Inf. All I can say is stay fit, stay motivated, and try not to get hurt. oh yeah, chin ups, chin ups, and more chin ups.

Lassitude posted:We got to shoot them when we were up there, and they're much more satisfying to use than a C7. They also do a number to ptarmigan and seal heads. Quite true, there's a certain satisfaction you get from firing a proper battle rifle that other small arms just don't deliver. Jungle lanes with a .303, good times.

HippitusHoppitus posted:I'm currently stuck as MARS but am looking to transfer over to Chaplain, are there any Chaplains on here. I would like a bit of advice about the process of switching over. I know that panel I have to present to is supposed to be pretty brutal. This is a post I would never expect to see on SA much less a mil forum (I'm assuming you're serious). I'll guess you're RC from your CT. As far as I know, all CF Chaplains complete their divinity trg and ordination before they join the CF. The chances that there's a Chaplain following these forums is nil. From what I've heard, MARS is a horrible trade and youd be best moving on no matter what, may I recommend Infantry?

Should I be interested in joining the military in your fine socialized nation, will I be able to retain my mediocre rank or some facsimile thereof? I know of a a few that came over from France and the UK. They both retained their ranks of MWO and WO respectively. Mind you they were both infantry which isn't really the most technical of trades.
