I‘ve actually been meaning to ask a similar question for awhile now, so here it is: I recently bought a new pair of Dr. Martins after wearing only skate shoes for a couple of years. I‘ve been wearing them for a few months and I keep getting blisters on the back of my heel. If I do them up...

N/M what I was going to ask, the link above explains everything

Not very closely at all. The CAF step test consists of two steps, not one. Also, you step to the music for only 3 minutes and take the pulse immediately. You progress through the levels if your heart rate stays under the targeted range for that level and for your age group. Just as a point of...

Something I recently read about JTF2 said that they were capable of assaulting via HALO jumps.(High Altitude(exit) Low Opening). If you look at infantry specialty training courses listed on the DND site you will see that "freefall jumpmaster" is one of the possible courses you could get on. I...

Did he say advanced or "enhanced"? Every potential member of the Canadian Armed Forces must be granted "Enhanced Reliability Status" before they are eligiable for employment. The CAF does a detailed backround check on every induvidual to determine if the candidate is worthy of this status...

You won‘t test positive for marijuana use if you aren‘t exposed to enough of it to get high. (as a rule of thumb) As for wether you smoked it or not, if you DO test positive after telling them you aren‘t going to, then you‘re in trouble. It‘s your responsibility to move to cleaner air at a...

Hmmm, I suspect that you are going to get slammed with posts telling you to do a search for this information. The information is readily available on the DND recruiting site and the are many threads on this site covering the topics "marijuana" and "criminal record". Type those and similar key...

Ya sorry about the assumption, no offence or anything like that intended.

For a female doing the shuttle run CF EXPRES test the incentive scores are shown as follows: VO2 max: 17-19 = stage 6 20-29 = stage 5.5 30-34 = stage 5 Muscular strength and endurance scores are: 17-19 = 112 20-29 = 107 30-34 = 99 As Brneil pointed out, this is the way the CF EXPRES test is...

Don‘t misunderstand what I‘m saying. It‘s not the asking about firefighting that got the Captain worked up, it was the fact that I was asking before I‘m even hired if I can remuster after only a couple of years, thereby wasting all the resources that it took to train me to be an infantry...

He is a left wing extremist. Simple as that, if you are already right wing oriented of course you‘re going to hate him. Because he is an extremist, its natural that even some of the leftwingers (PC types as they‘re know around here) are going to feel that he crosses the line. When someone...

In my original application I indicated firefighting as a prefered trade. I was informed that there was about a 5 year waiting period for an opening that won‘t already be accounted for by someone who applied years before me. I was also told that just because there might be an opening in 5 years...

Congratulations. I‘m assuming that they organised the course and then made the phone calls all at once, since you all got calls on the same day. It‘s disappointing to not be getting a call, but my medical file was just sent on March 1st, so I don‘t know if my complete file has even been sent...

At the interview he told me to call in 8 weeks if I hadn‘t received an offer yet. The concensous is that I should call sooner? And then continue to call until I hear what I want?

How long were you guys waiting since completeing your testing?

Congratulations guys. To the moderator, just a thought but it might be cool to consolidate all job offer threads into one so that we could see everyone who got offers and compare how long between when they became members and O-Day (offer day) was and stuff like that. I‘m thinking it‘s pretty...

I took this information directly from D-net. The CF EXPRES incentive program details included both step test and shuttle run scores. There is a link to the site in my previous post. The actual form that you can access from that site is dificult to read the small print, but I sorted through it...

Ok I‘ve got it now. There are 2 versions of the CF EXPRES, the only variations between the two being the way the cardio level is measured. There is the step test, or the shuttle run test. The muscular and endurance score is taken as the sum of the hand-grip, situp, and pushup scores. For the...

I didn‘t really want to put up a new thread for this question but it doesn‘t really relate to any other threads I was looking through. My question for anyone who feels they KNOW the answer is: Does calling CFRC to inquire about the status of my file actually have any effect on the speed with...

He‘s talking about the excellence standard for the express test for people who are already CF members, I belive. I was told by my recruiter that every member is tested every year for fitness, and must maintain the minimum objectives throughout their career. However, there is a certain level of...
