My question is the difference between Supplementary Ready Reserves and Supplementary Holding Reserves?? I am also going into a Reserve Unit...am I not already in the Reserves if a member of the SRR/SHR? If so they why the B.S. of applying all over again to the military, testing and interviews, birth certificates, SIN etc...again to get into the unit? Yeah years in Regular Force and now this paperwork crap again. Also all my information should be accessable from NDHQ in Ottawa. Anyone? Anyone? Also when a person goes from Reg F to the SRR...are they not supposed to get an Honorable Discharge certificate? I got a certificate of service stateing my transfer to the Reserves on said date, but no honorable discharge certificate. So technically I am still a member of the CF? Can anyone help clear this up? Nobody knew when these questions I brought up during the release process...not a soul knew (or probably gave a sh**)

Grubby,

Whoa Nelly!!!!!!!! Some confusion here.... Let's see what your options are. First off, are you a Master-Corporal or higher?! If that was the case, you could have gone RSS. Sounds like to me you are being streamed into a Primary Reserve unit. Which means you'll have to parade weekly and the odd weekend exercise. My understanding is that if you are going into the SRR/SHR, the paperwork process is the same..... regardless of your previous time in or MOC. More "Hurry Up and Wait". You gotta love it!!!!!!

ABOVE: Please observe the CFRC recruiter spinning the head of a former serving member of Her Majesty's Canadian Armed Forces whilst navigating through the burly red-tape surrounding his posting to the SRR/SHR.
