Westmount, Quebec – 07 October 2024: On Sunday 06 October 2024, the RMR’s Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Jonasz, appointed Corporal Skalkogiannis to Master-Corporal in the field following a training exercise.

In the Canadian Armed Forces, an appointment to Master-Corporal, particularly in the Infantry, represents a significant advancement. This rank not only acknowledges the individual’s proven leadership and skills but also assigns greater responsibilities. Master-Corporals often act as second-in-command within a section, responsible for tactical decisions, leading soldiers, and maintaining discipline. This rank serves as a critical step towards more senior non-commissioned officer roles.
