Topic: Whos listed with CFRC Toronto for 031?

[031RCR]

Hey all,

I just thought I would start a thread for those of us listed at CFRC Toronto for 031 infantry.  I am sure anyone who is like me is sitting waiting for that call to come, so a forum like this might help us pass the time.  Also I am sure alot of us will be sworn in, and or at BMQ together so we can get to know one another. Hope to hear from all of you.

I'm not going 031, but I'm at Toronto for 043. Was just in there today finding out about my status for Monday's selection board. Good luck!

043 is Combat Engineer correct? So there is a board forsure this Monday eh?  Anyone know if NCM infantry positions will be apart of it?

So, you aren't 031 or RCR?   Better alter your title a bit to avoid confusion with those that are.

Regimental Avatars-Before you use a regiment/units capbadge as an avatar give it some thought.
Yes it's an unofficial site. You could put the PPCLI, RCR, 82nd airborne, SAS, JTF, some reserve regiment avatar up as your own. Theres no rule saying you can't.
If your not in that specific regiment your probably going to take flak from people who are. It's just a picture yes but some people work VERY hard to get to where they are and might not like you using it (Which will lead 99% of the people to believe your actually IN that regiment) Who really cares? Well if you want to join the RCRs and you have some questions about the regiment BUT you pissed off the guys currently serving with them where are you going to be? You might not get the answers your looking for. Personally I'm not going to be a jerk to someone using my regiments capbadge as an avatar but I won't be all buddy buddy with them either.  I don't like the idea of someone not in my regiment using the avatar because if they are a jerk, act like an idiot or start posting stupid and wrong information, it will make MY regiment look bad.

User names-Some people use their real name, others are a little more private and don't. Whatever you decide for your nickname use common sense. Your name is the FIRST thing posters here will notice. Not your military experience, not your ingenious post, but your user name. If it's something stupid or offensive your post/opinion won't get as much attention as your name. Whats stupid and offensive? Well if you don't know what a stupid or offensive nick name is then maybe this isn't the right site for you. If your REALLY unsure then ask. "Is this user name appropriate" and someone will tell you. If you get told it's inappropriate (wether you asked or not) have the humility to change it and don't flip out over it. What good is posting on a site if no one will give your opinion any credit because their too busy telling you to change your name?

Yes, 043 is Combat Engineer. As far as I know, there is a board on October 17th. You might want to double check with a recruiter, but from what I've read Infantry positions are selected real-time, meaning that you don't need to wait for these selection boards, as soon as your application is ready you can be selected.

No infanteer I am only a RCR031 hopefull.  I did not mean any disrespect by the name, just randomly choose it. Do you really think I should change it?

I put in my application for Infantry with CFRC Toronto on Sept. 28th. They said I would get a call the next week to start booking appointments but I still haven't heard anything. It seems people usually have to wait longer than what they are originally told, but I can't help but think that maybe my application is lost or something else. I don't know if I should call them or not.

Does anyone know roughly how long the average infantry applicant waits from applying to being sent to basic? I was told by the recruiter it would probably take 2 - 3 months, but in other posts people seem to say that it takes much much longer.
