    What is the next step??

    Well, they should have indicated what the next step was going to be when you reopened your file, but I know sometimes they can be less than specific if you don‘t ask a lot of questions. They will probably be in contact with you to schedual you for any testing they may require of you, but if you...

    The Seal Hunt Mega-Thread

    I totally wan‘t even aware that you could have an ego about having a sense of humour. Maybe if I said, "I‘m so funny", or "my sense of humour is better than yours", or "move over Jerry Seinfeld, here comes my sense of humour". I‘m curious to know how you would sell yourself during a job...

    What is the next step??

    I don‘t think your question is specific enough to receive a useful answer. There are so many factors that can determine how fast/slow your application is handled. As for what the next step is "once an application is opened and the requested trade is open...", it depends on what you mean by...

    The Seal Hunt Mega-Thread

    I have no idea what unit I might end up with, I‘m hoping for PPCLI, and I indicated that during my interview. Beyond that, your guess is a good as mine. Anyway, I do have responses for that bait you‘re dangling out there, essentially calling me a liar by sarcasticaly contradicting my statement...

    Truth Duty Valor on DVD

    LOL, that link is funny. I totally hear the message too. I saw a couple of pretty hard landings on that episode of TDV. You don‘t really hit that hard in skydiving unless you forget to flare, flare high, or have a slow speed malfunction of some sort. I‘m guessing all that gear has a lot to do...

    Is this even possible?

    Is he sure that they told him he has only 30 days to collect the papers? Or is it possible they asked for "a reply" within 30 days indicating his intent? On a seperate issue, they gave me 30 days to respond to their letter, but allowed me as much time as neccessary to gather the required...

    The Seal Hunt Mega-Thread

    Like I said, Forget what I said. I‘m not offended, I just though that there may be people out the who might be. And "Did I read some place that you‘re attempting to join the service? If you are then you, my friend, are in for a rough go! If I were you I would get out to the grden and start...

    The Seal Hunt Mega-Thread

    How? Ok, he‘s saying that clubbing isn‘t a good enough way to kill a seal, that to kill them properly we should send them to Iraq. Wow funny. I‘m glad to know that you guys don‘t see that as insensitive (maybe even ignorant). Since over 700 Americans have died I don‘t think that its...

    The Seal Hunt Mega-Thread

    Just a thought here, but there may actually be people on this site who have friends in Iraq. I realise you‘re intending a stab at humour, but people really are dying in Iraq, and their friends and families would obviously be deeply offended by such a remark.

    how can you get rid of blisters... fast?

    I posted somewhere on here before about band aid brand blister bandages. They work extremely well at covering and protecting blisters. They stay on really well in most situations (I‘ve found) except for swimming. The only that fell off on me was while I was swimming the other day. They seem to...

    I bet the cows and chickens feel that the seal hunting debate is a double standard.

    Dozen female U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq combat

    I firmly believe in equal rights, and that if a woman can complete the training on an equal basis with the men (for ANY branch or unit), then they should be allowed to serve in the exact same capacity as a man. I don‘t belive equal rights means giving women a seperate set of standards because...

    Tips for physical

    When I did it the tape said: "up, two, three, down, two, three, up, two, three, down, two, three,... and on and on until you hit a minute mark, whereupon the voice (in synch with the music still) rythmically says "1 more minute.. up, two, three, down, two, three. It‘s a two step box and when...

    Another career ruined by drink-Toronto Police Officer-Article

    Theres 2 reasons why this goof will never see the general population of a Canadian penitentiary. This first and most obvious is that he is/was a police officer. Although its unlikely he was ever at the head of any serious investigation that resulted in the conviction of any hardened criminals...

    Truth Duty Valor on DVD

    I see, so its possible to picked up by a parachute company straight out of MOC training? Is this strictly luck of the draw subject only to openings requiring immediate replacement? Or are those openings filled by carefully selected candidates selected based on their demonstrated superior...

    Truth Duty Valor on DVD

    I was just wondering, for all those who watched the para course episode, why did all those new CF members get access to the course within 1 year of BMQ? I missed the first 10 minutes, I don‘t know if they gave the answer to my question in that segment or not. What did interest me is that they...

    Frustration!!!!

    Do they generaly notify candidates when the medical has been cleared? They did‘t indicate to me that I would hear anything, but it would sure help me out if they did.

    Physical Test - Bonus

    The time limit on situps is supposed to be 1 minute. When I did my first test, one guy did 54 situps in 1 minute, and we were told that the record number of situps done in 1 minute at CFRC Toronto was 65. When I did my first

    Frustration!!!!

    Ya, I was told 1-2 weeks on average for medicals to come back from Borden to CFRC Toronto. Mine was sent on March 1st, and according to the processing clerk as of today April 15th, my medical information is still at Borden. (6 weeks). Now I have all these horror stories floating around in my...
