I know the feeling. I hate being late and the morning of my interview/medical we got a freak winter storm and, even though I had left lots of time, I ran into some road blocks (accident on the highway, terrible roads, stuck behind snow plows, etc.). I live an hour and a half drive from my CFRC...

I am going to have the same issue. Not as an OUTCAN applicant, but as a civilian living in base accommodations right now (long story). I will be required to clear out when I head to basic so I won't have a 'home base' and I don't have anyone I can leave my stuff with. Your options are pretty...

Exactly. His innocence isn't the point. The miscarriage of justice and "presumption of innocence" for the Averies is what they were trying to showcase, in my opinion. Outside of that: I did a bit of outside research after the series and there are some pretty incriminating pieces of evidence...

Thank you for this! I've been reading all kinds of information (including all of the threads listed above) but this is a really helpful summary.

Sorry for hijacking thread there. Back on track -- in the area I'm from the PMQs are generally cheaper than renting off base, and definitely a good option if you can't afford a down payment on a house. I have a few friends who moved from off-base into PMQs when they found out they were pregnant...

Hi nem, My knowledge is admittedly limited - I am a civilian living and working on base in Ontario while my application to the forces is being processed. For the last 6 months I have also been dating an NCM who lives in the barracks as well. I can't answer any of your pilot-specific questions...

I always speak with the initial contact I had who I discussed my trade options with and how the process works. He's the same one who emailed me about my CFAT results and things like that. I haven't expedited my process (or even got to the medical/interview part after waiting 7 months) so I'm...

I also received the hold letter without any dates. I'm currently waiting for my medical/interview to be scheduled. My recruiter told me it means this:

I was worried that would be the case. The article you linked to calls him a "friendless loner" who lived with his mom and surfed dating sites. I hate to give him any publicity, as it looks like he was after some attention, but I'm interested in knowing more about the shooter.

My experience is the same. My email confirmed I qualified for all of the trades I had applied for; my recruiter clarified that my score (and application as a whole) would be weighed against the others in each trade to determine how competitive I am, the confirmation following the CFAT was just...

This is the most helpful thing I've been told so far, thank you so much. I don't know if my recruiter and I have a communication problem (the last time we spoke he had called at work and I was in a rush) but I leave our calls feeling lost. He keeps saying "Yep, your file is open and being...

Me, sort of. I'm waiting for my interview/medical to be scheduled and I don't know why there's a delay. I just spoke with my recruiter the other day and he said that I have to be selected first (at a selection board) for that to happen - but I've heard on here that you can't be considered by the...

I don't think it will speed up the process. I hold a current enhanced reliability screening through work, provided them with a copy, and the recruiter told me that it doesn't matter and they still process a new one.

I'm actually not 100% sure yet! I do wear a prescription for a light astigmatism (-0.5 in each eye) but everyone who tries my glasses on thinks they're fake. I think I'll pass the vision - recruiter said I won't know until I try! I guess if I end up with V2 or worse I'll have to choose new...

Congrats Emm! I am definitely jealous. Blueangels14  - no, he didn't say when or if any spots would be open. He just recommended I pick something else, although he kept reiterating that my score was very competitive and even said he had no doubt that I'd make selection in the first round of...

They did. But I won't lie that the recruiter strongly encouraged me to remove it. I didn't want to just out of principle, it would be my dream occupation, so I asked that he keep it on file. He said they would likely send me a message saying it was closed but he wasn't sure. They let me move...

If I was in Ottawa I'd take you up on that offer, I'm in Petawawa though so just far enough away for it to be a major inconvenience. Good luck in finding people. If anyone in Petawawa is interested in meeting up for a run or some weight training, I'm interested!
