my recruiter told me if I do have any outstanding debt the army will want to see a consumer proposal done through an LIT (License Insolvency Trustee). Has anyone gone through this process? if so how long did you have to work a regular/min wage job and make consistent payments to show your...

Just wondering if anyone on here has had to go through the consumer proposal route when going through the initial application process? And just for a little context I just graduated college from a software development program and was sponsored through the government so no student loans were...

Perfect thank you!

Thank you for the motivating words! And yeah I have the cfat trainer app on my phone and what's the army-test website your referring to exactly? with the pay wall, I don't mind spending a bit of money for extra practice and to ensure I pass.

Hey everyone! I finally pulled the trigger after many months of debating on whether to join the forces or not and I decided to drive myself to the recruiting center and have a chat! Long story short it went well talking to a recruiter signed myself up for ATIS TECH, IS TECH and SIGING. My full...

My bad I'll have to take a look again thanks!

Why is the pay scale for privates 124.40 a day? That's 622 a week before taxes and 29k a year before taxes. That's terribly low pay. How could anyone survive off of this? I want to join but That's 15.55 per hour. I could get more working at McDonald's

Perfect thank you for answering all of my questions! And I guess I won't be getting in anytime soon as I've defaulted on my student loans from a trade I did in 2012 that I could never find work in and then went back to school in 2015 for autobody technician, got laid off multiple times and got...

That's good to know they have at least the basics on base to provide what they can to members. And I wouldn't mind hoofing it or getting a bike to where I need to get go. Also do you have any idea what the time between promotions would be? Say from private to corporal? I know there are many...

I can't seek debt consolidation unless I'm employed though is the thing. I just graduated college have no job and even if I did have a minimum wage job I wouldn't be making enough to approach a debt consolidator and pay their fees along with minimum payments. Seems like a bit of a catch 22...

Hey everyone! Have a few random questions before joining the military. 1. Will the military take you if you have debt such as student loans, child support arrears, credit card debt? Only accumulated by circumstance of lay offs due to work shortages/unstable work opportunities within the trade...

Thank you for your service by the way! And yeah I guess I'm at a cross roads in my life in that if I join and get posted somewhere it'll probably end my current relationship with my girlfriend and up heave the life I have now with her and my dog etc it's a little sad to think of but I always...

yeah that makes sense im attending a online recruiting event today hoping to ask some questions, but for now do you know if theres a way to see job postings within the military in Newfoundland?

Also wondering if you know how the specialist 1 is achieved? Say if I did the cyber operator occupation since I have a software development background, once I finish bmq and occupation training would that mean I come out as a corporal specialist 1 and not just a private?

Thanks for the link! And I'm not even sure what postings are available here in newfoundland honestly I'm assuming a recruiter would know? I wonder if the air force has postings here.

So could you explain the specialist 1 to me? How is that achieved exactly? And I'm from newfoundland I was hoping to get posted back here as it's not highly sought after but I'm thinking that wouldn't happen cause you don't choose where you get posted right?
