Good day, I was wondering if there is anyone on this forum that currently works at PCC in either CFB Halifax or CFB Esquimalt. I was hoping to talk to them about upcoming Naval deployments where a reservist boatswain (me), could try and get on. If so, we could talk more about it through PM as I...

Thanks for your response Buck! I'll head into my unit when I get home next week and ask around.

Good day, I am considering some full time military options and I've recently come across RESO. I read all the links sent to me by the BPSO in regards to this program and I have also read most, if not all post's pertaining to RESO on this website. I am mainly interested in taking RESO because I...

I see where you're coming from Loachman. I guess with the past few years of going through this process of studying and attempting the CFAT(s) I've formed a different opinion on how I view the test than other people. I didn't mean any disrespect with my reply to Buck_HRA I just see it...

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Good day everyone, I thought I’d chime in on this thread because I think I can help a few out who may have failed their first or second CFAT. I haven’t seen too many people on here who have been given a 3rd rewrite. I just wanted to say that it is possible to get a third try because I have...

Hi everyone. I just have a quick question I was hoping someone(s) could answer for me. If a reservist wants to OT into a different reserve trade would it make more sense to just release and re apply considering the CF is doing this new expedited recruiting program where they can get in by 30...

I was hoping to get some advice from some people who've gone through the CT (with OT) process as well as having to redo the CFAT for a second or third try. Back in August I scheduled an appointment with the BPSO to rewrite the CFAT for the third time. There's no guarantee that I'll be given...

Good Evening everyone, This new Defence Policy proposal that just came out surprised me with what the government has planned for the military. Although nothing is set in stone I would like to touch on the point where the Government wants to increase the amount of personnel in the Reg. and...

Gee, it would have been nice if RMC would have notified myself and the other distance learners ahead of time. What a joke!  >:( Thanks for letting me know Journeyman.  :salute:

The RMC website is down right now which really sucks because all my school work is done online through moodle. Would anyone by chance know what's going on?

My last parade night we had a briefing and a small portion of it was in regards to the NST. The NST portion was very vague. What I was told was NAVRES wants to get 400 personnel trained up (Primarily Class A) and from there NST will take a portion (70-100 was the estimated number for one...

Thanks for giving me that link Mike. I tried doing a google search, but little to nothing is coming up about this program. I guess it's going to be a 'wait and see' thing. Meanwhile I'll make sure to pay attention to that discussion.

I came across this link awhile back: http://www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca/en/news-operations/news-view.page?doc=new-naval-security-team-will-enhance-force-protection/isvdkv13 I thought it would be an interesting course to pursue. At my unit they've already put out the sign up sheet for...

Very true. Also, don't worry about your last name, man. Mine's pretty easy to pronounce and it has been mispronounced as well as misspelled (it's five letters). Good luck with your application.

I was recently on the CDN forces website and I noticed that Armoured Soldier is "in demand". This is new to me and I was wondering if the CF is hurting for Armoured Soldiers. Is it not a popular trade anymore?

Seaforth Highlanders? Isn't that in BC?

What reserve unit are you thinking of joining?

I finished basic this past summer and some of the guys would shave the beret. It was the dumbest thing I've ever seen and heard of. It creates a mess and if not properly cleaned it will be found in the inspection. I was the only one in my tent (out of 6) who did not shave my beret and the...

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the forums. I was away this summer doing my BMNQ for seven weeks. Since getting back in early August I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on my experience and think about whether or not I want to do this full time. Unfortunately, I am leaning towards pursuing a...
