    Home Schooled and Recruiting requirements [Merged]

    My suggestion would be have a friend or family member go to the school, or the district school board office, and try to figure out the best way to do everything. They should be able to get the papers ready at the front desk, and just have you swing buy on a lunch break or something and sign for...

    Intrested in enlisting but have some questions

    We still enlist. Blame it on American culture if you want (though I have no idea if that is even correct), but enlist is an English word known to mean joining the armed forces. As long as we use the English language, "enlist" is an acceptable verb.

    Military family's?

    This would be better in the Personal Stories section, but even then, it's a weird question to ask. A lot of people do not like to discuss their military service in any sort of detail, and a lot of people simply can't discuss their military service in any sort of detail.

    Eye Prescription Issues/ Do I Qualify?

    You could still fall under "V4" vision if you can see close to "20/20" with your glasses/contacts in, "As long as the refractive error does not exceed plus or minus 7.00 dioptres (+/– 7.00 D) spherical equivalent in the better eye." I don't know how the "PWR" or "Cyl" falls under that, because I...

    accepted my offer now waiting for enrollment information

    Can confirm at least some of the staff in Vancouver are away until July 29th, not sure if all of them are, but when I emailed them recently, I got told by my file manager some of the staff were "on remote" until then, and got an automatic Out of Office reply when I tried to email a different...

    Body building and the Canadian forces

    Because I am a member of this website, and I have access to this thread, and I read the response from him, and felt it was very inappropriate. This thread was created by someone who also hasn't passed BMQ, so me and him have the same level of experience in the Canadian Forces. Yes, I did feel...

    Body building and the Canadian forces

    Your question: Your answer from an Infantry Officer : Your reply, completely disregarding his answer: So hopefully that answers this question: You wanted to know if it was possible, he said yes it is possible, but he also went a step further to let you know that you are going to lose...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    Call them. My recruiting center sends me an email with the date and time confirming each phase of testing I have done so far. Just call them tomorrow morning, say sorry to bother just wanted to check something, and they should be able to help you no problem. It's better than doing a no-show or...

    Subsidized Education Question

    No, it wouldn't be available for NCM SEP program. They already have tons of great applicants for it each year who pay for the educational requirements on their own. All of the most sought after jobs aren't part of the NCM SEP program, because who are already trained and educated are wanting...

    Need help with application

    I get what you are saying, but there comes a point where the recruiting center has to stop holding our hands and just tell us to do it to the best of our abilities. I have already had 2 situations in recruiting where the staff puts a piece of paper and pen in front of me, and tells me to just...

    Need help with application

    When I did mine, it was both. Blank lines, and some drop down menus to choose from. That is why tedavis is saying his program wasn't an option to choose from. There are parts of it that you simply can not fill in "perfectly" according to what they have in the application process, because it...

    Need help with application

    This has nothing to do with researching our own backgrounds to get correct information, this has to do with the interface which is used to input our information not being user friendly. It also has no relevance to whether we are serious about applying or not. If the Canadian Forces denied every...

    Need help with application

    Don't worry too much that's all I did too. I had some University courses but no degree, so I just entered it best I could. You will send them your transcripts anyways so they should be able to fix anything which was entered incorrectly. I never had any issues with it though.

    Merit List!

    Sounds like they are saying that the "head up" people will sit down with the list of everyone on the merit list for your chosen trade, and they will decide who they want to offer positions to August 15th. Then within 2 weeks, they will send the list of the people they decided to offer positions...

    Need help with application

    Does the page allow you to list high school? Or did you put that in another part? I completed the application a few weeks ago so can't quite remember sorry.

    Well-Qualified/Interested in Joining - Difficulties Getting Information - Help?

    Actually reminded me more of "Taken"... "But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for recruiters like you."

    Well-Qualified/Interested in Joining - Difficulties Getting Information - Help?

    Which years has this been a pattern for? I consider myself fairly smart, though I only speak English fluently, and am not much more than a high school grad (with terrible grades) and a few University courses, but when I continue to call a place and leave a message, with no response, I change my...
