Thanks for the answers. I suppose my circumstances are different from most. If it is not option that is fine, but I'd prefer to sleep in the apartment I share with my girlfriend that is 20 minutes away  8)

I could not seem to find the answer to this question. During the NETP-O phase are you required to live on base? Further, are you required to while doing the CSE training in halifax? I admit I haven't searched on the latter question yet - I figured I'd tag it in there in case someone had a quick...

@TruthSeeker No one here is really qualified to evaluate your personal story and guesstimate your chances. Hence the war that seemed to have erupted. Kincanucks is correct, the only way to find out is to apply. There's a multitude of factors that decide your overall merit score. Will having...

Granted this is not the authoritative answer, but generally you won't be allowed to proceed until you are medically cleared. As for being medically cleared of Asthma, you'll have to talk to a Dr... usually it involves a Methacholine Challenge test or a Pulmonary Function Test. If you want to...

Seems to me, you are less worried about your age, more the impact it would have on your lady - which is good. She's probably reacting a touch defensively (mine sure did) to the idea. It is important that you inform her as much as you can. Hold nothing back etc. Also, come up with a plan. "I...

I did my CFAT, medical and my interview on the same day. I wore my interview clothing throughout. The Medical was not physically intensive but did require me to remove some of my clothing, however the wait for my interview was more than ample for getting fixed back up. Further, if you are...

I'd say cost is the reason not everyone has done it. That, and perhaps personal interest and learning style. However you cannot assume that it makes you better or more capable than someone. It doesn't mean you are better prepared, it means you meet a standard. Someone without the degree (say a...

In my opinion, people on this board tend to make sport out of attacking unqualified statements. Not that they are wrong, but it tends to lead threads downhill. I say you are making an unqualified statement because you are making assumptions about what the job requires before you even know. For...

I thought I'd chime in here. It's pretty arrogant to believe it's pretty simple. The NOAB is not just to assess if you will make a good candidate for the Navy but to find if the Navy will be good for you. It sounds flaky but this is one of the most important aspects of the NOAB. Sure you might...

Technically speaking, I don't believe we are currently in a state of war. I could be wrong, but I could not find any references to actual declarations of war. There are currently no states or nations that have declared war on Canada. We are not under a direct threat for which we would need to...

My suspicion is that it is dependent upon availability. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but if they have 20 slots allocated for MSE, and 19 are filled they may allow one person to switch, but if 20/20 are full I don't see why they would overload one course.

Actually, I was the last person on the last group. You were second to last. As a point of observation: I observed a lot of people stressing the interview and MOST (mostly based on stuff they've read on here). Rumors were abound. I understand most people want as much information as possible...

The tradition continued... There were many red eyes Friday morning. Congratulations to everyone this NOAB - it was a blast.

I got the call this morning. Haven't yet figured out what I'm going to tell the boss but what's life without a little surprise and excitement!
