@canadianarmynews I am in grade twelve and I am joining the reserves but I might join reg force someday, the training is the same right, and from what I hear you get demoted a rank, correct?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@onthewingshot Some training is identical to the regular force. As for demotions, it will be up to Ottawa once your file is received in what they will grant you. If you wish to transfer from the Primary Reserve to the Regular Force you must apply for a Component Transfer (CT).

Is it better to go to university before you join the Reg. Force, or can you go to university after basic training in the Reg. Force?

@XxMattxX300 @ArticSheep There are several basic training options for members of the Primary Reserve. Some courses are taught at the unit in your town or city. Some courses run in the summer, others in the winter. Some are full-time others part-time. We even have a program where you can earn high school credit through Reserve Co-op. You will take high school classes for a half-day and military training the other half. Your Recruiting Centre will have the info on all of these options.

@XxMattxX300 @ArticSheep The CF is comprised of Regular Force (full-time) members and Reservists who work on a part-time basis. Each of the military’s three elements (Army, Navy, Air Force) has a reserve of trained personnel to work with the Regular Forces when called upon. Reserve basic training varies between elements. They train hard to be able to work alongside members of the Regular Force.

@CanadianArmyNews Does the reserve force go through the same training?
