How far are you into your second contract? Or first, if you OT'd during your first contract? Use your CoC to submit an application for release. Doesn't mean they will grant it, and they'll probably need a good excuse (I VR'd once, but rejoined later). My WO helped me use a good reason to VR...

Everything you've asked has been covered extensively in previous threads. If you can pass the minimum requirements, you're okay. If not, you aren't. Glasses are more effective than contacts and much safer. Not unless the pull has side effects that may become a detriment to your ability. You...

More personnel doesn't solve the language barrier process. And George, you're right that this may or may not be the threat tomorrow, but it is today. So like everyone is told to do, plan for what we know, be aware of what we don't, and make the best of it.

If you haven't completed your reference check, your background check is likely not complete either.

I hated it, loved it, and I'd do it all over again in a heart beat. It was challenging (not the toughest course, but it's the first one so the whole culture shock is a challenge), made me mentally stronger, more diverse, a better team player, bettered my leadership skills, and increased my...

There was a Star Wars Christmas Special?

I absolutely loved that movie! A movie that I absolutely could not stand was Hero, with Jet Li or whatever. Only movie that I didn't manage to watch the whole thing.

That's fair. Obviously I'm referring to this specific document, since this thread is about this one document and not the entire leak (there's another thread for that), but yes. Your explanation is fair. I just hope there's some criminal action taken as a result of all these getting leaked...

And I agree on both points. On that, though, I am wondering why the report that suggests our soldiers were the result of friendly fire is obviously wrong. There could be a look into the accuracy of some of these reports.

I appreciate the sacrifice your son (or daugher) and your family made, and there is no such thing as giving more to our country. With that said, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, but the documents leaked were not written by those who posted it. Yes, much of it is classified, and that is...

This is definitely an embarrassing story for the police and dispatch. There's obviously something that went wrong, so I'll be interested to find out what it was.

"or all apprenticeship requirements in a civilian trade"

Is it worth it? Is it worth giving our intelligence service the best training possible, including languages, to protect our country from terrorism and threat? Yes. Yes, I do believe that is worth it.

You're right, past is past. That said, you have to be aware that it is still an issue. If two of the exact same people applied for the same position, and had the same educational background, experience, and personality, except one had an assault charge that restricted their use of firearms, and...

I'd consider you reconsider, then if you come to the same conclusion, do it. You've already backed out twice. If you backed out a third time, I guarantee there wouldn't be a forth.

I don't want to sound disrespectful, but if you're done so little research that you're basing your impressions of a movie, I don't suspect you'll be getting a lot of us to bend over backwards to help. At least show us that you tried to search it. Many of your questions are answered on the CF...

You probably won't get outright rejected if what you say is true, and you don't have any major medical problems. That said, you aren't guaranteed a position, because you'll be competing with several other applicants for the trade you are entering, so it comes down to whether you or somebody else...

If you're asking whether or not you can still back out, the answer is yes, you can. It's just a shame it took you this long to determine that the trade is not for you and you ended up wasting everybody's time.

Yes, references are important. I would suggest you take the time to meet people who qualify as references for the CF, and confer with them for 5 years.

It's wonderful that you have goals at your age, so you have something to strive for. It's also great that you have a backup plan. But correct me if I'm wrong, but the RCMP require completion of grade 12. So my suggestion still stands - complete grade 12, then if you are still interested in the...
