So why then, come here and discourage others who are interested in an exciting, different every day career that goes beyond cleaning some elderly man's poop? From what I've heard, a CF Nursing Officer does far more medical work than a civilian nurse and has the opportunity to deploy to...

Calories don't count for anything. As long as your physical output/calorie use is greater than your caloric input; you'll drop weight like crazy. I lived in Vernon BC and during the summer I would drink probably 12 litres a day and worked on an orchard. In the 40+ Celsius heat and no other...

You don't send anything like Social Security numbers, ID or banking info on the online application. The online application is only partial, it's missing several forms that you must get from the recruiters themselves. Also, you must provide copies of - ID, SIN Card, Birth Cert. to the CFRC/G in...

During your application, be honest about everything and don't try to hid anything. If you do, they will find out through your Background and Criminal Record checks. Secondly, when you do the medical questionnaire when the ask what drugs you've done, how many times and how much alcohol you drink...

I made some bad choices when I was young. Nobody gave a single crap as I had cleaned up my problem areas over 2 years before even touching an RCMP/CBSA or CF application.

Amen.

Wait... I thought that this was an April Fool's Day joke... Considering that they say "CBSA Officers", "carry firearms", "remove undocumented immigrants/failed refugees" as a job role. It sounds like such an American Martial Law-FEMA thing to do... I mean, I don't know if I support this or...

Martial Law has been declared... open up the FEMA Camps... What wage are they offering?  ;D

5.11 are very nice, I find that they last longer than the SWAT brand. I had a pair of SWAT Air Heel Zip and the zipper wind flap breaks off too easily, the leather on the boot dries out, cracks and looks horrid. 5.11 are much more durable and take polish like a champ.

BC is a terrible province for anything Healthcare related, regardless of the $64+/month premium (greater is you have spouse + children) and on top, paying for extended plan through your employer. All kinds of money being shelled out and the coverage is minimal, and like you had mentioned -...

Don't see how you could not tell the difference until you got up close, they are very distinctively different. MARPAT has a different colour variance which is more heavy on the green than anything else.

Don't know why, as in the CATOs, other patterns of camouflage is permitted for wear in the field. You would wear ACU in Universal Pattern, or Tigerstripe, hell you could even wear multicam, Finland M05 Woodland pattern or German Flecktarn/Tropentarn and no Reservist or CIC Officer has any right...

So the Queen's Cavalry  ;) will have how many total Leo 2s then? 2 tank sqn doesn't really sound like a lot, but I do know the LdSH(RC) also have a Recce sqn and RHQ/HQ sqn (which, should have tanks as well should it not?). Edit: Never mind, I missed the post at the top of the page.  :facepalm:

I'd do it once just for the photo op  ;D

Oh my... what tragedy...  :facepalm:

Possibly tanks that are not engineering vehicles (ARV for example)? I'm curious as well.

Watched this before my early morning workout: http://youtu.be/pwEvPAPSoMo See for yourself. :salute:

Sure. They get their tuition paid for, they also get paid during. I'm pretty sure that while studying at the RMC, room and board does not cost nearly it does what I paid for rent, food, and utilities for a broom closet in Vancouver. It's open to interpretation - I was not stating it as fact or...

I said ROTP get free room and board, not in the sense that it's 100% free, I know that they don't - it was a wrong choice of words. Is subsidized better? Also, I guess it just depends on the year or who you talk to; my uncle was only told he'd be going to the PPCLI on BMQ graduation day... only...

No, most of them won't even know what regiment they'll go to until after BMQ. Even my buddy in Meaford was told he'd be going to 2VP in Shilo, but there's the possibility he could end up with The RCR if openings in PPCLI are filled before he qualifies to go to the Regiment.
