Well dmca are the ones that told me to contact them when I was told I was medically fit.

Well today was a good and bad day. So my aircrew finally came back from DRDC and now the CDU wants me to come in for an appointment to tell me the result. Now the problem is they are booking into january and I need the results for my component transfer. It's a 15 minute appointment that I have...

Just like the pilot just said. You could be a sniper (a job many would think would be considered cool and part of the elite). But do you think their job get's boring when you lay beside your rifle for 14 hours waiting for the enemy to walk by... Every job has it's ups and downs.

Thanks both for the replies appreciate that. Heard a little about that program before but kind of forgot about it. But it looks more for someone going to study at university there for a few years or that has a job there. Being a full-time reservist though I wouldn't have a reason to go there...

Just quick clarification the step test can still be used as an alternative to the shuttle run here in Esquimalt for people that have a problem with the shuttle run. My best guess, often at CFRC they use the step test just for logistical reasons, a lot easier to but a couple stairs in a small...

Being from the navy I will just throw my two cents in here. It all depends, when the ship is in home port yes it probably can be a little boring, alot of sitting around finding odd jobs to do, maintenance and stuff but that is all part of life in the navy and is pretty much the same for every...

I had two questions. I was wondering if anyone here has moved to Australia with the intention of joining the Autralian Defence Force, if so how did it go? Was it hard? Did it take alot of time? If you don't mind the full story would be welcome. Second is about the Patrol Boats. If you join the...

I have seen this brassard around worn by various people, never got to talk to them and only got the name of it out of the Dress Instructions. Could someone please explain to me what it is for exactly. Who wears them? Why do they wear them? This is just for my personal curiosity.

For the separation of males and females in the barracks, when I went through in 2007 it was a wing of the building for your platoon, 4 people to a room. The hall had a mix of male and female room. Females had the bathroom in one platoon's wing and the males in the other platoons wing. IE Two...

In a post before you said that you were able to send in your paperwork after 7 weeks. Can someone please give me a semi-formal answer, because I heard anything between 3-6 months before I can even get the form sent in. If I understand from you, once the optometrist says I'm stable and good to go...

Just to add to what Cronicbny was saying about D/C OJT. We got a brief on this, and what it seems like is you are correct most trades will have a coordinator and be sending the people to any ship with a bunk including Hal/Iro/Pro class ships. The only trade that is different is the MESO trade...

Not answering the questions but if you right it and score well wouldn't it just make your file look nicer and make you look like someone who makes an effort?

I was just curious to know, is the file manager a CWO/CPO1? I got contact from one of them there, do you think he is the one handling my file now?

I was thinking of sending an e-mail to my file manager in ottawa again. Do you think that would be ok? I haven't heard I peep for 3-4 months now, still haven't had an interview or anything.

I am on your side there GDawg. Maybe a monthly update from the DMCA guy would be very helpful, I have been in the dark for months now and the last time I inquired after 2 months I got a response telling me that there are other transfers that time more time to do and he would get to mine eventually.

I'm with you GDawg. I'm on month 4, still haven't heard much just an e-mail telling me to make sure my MPRR was up to date. Goind Res MESO to Reg AVN. For the course thing for Comms Research, I am here in esquimalt quith a lot of them all awaiting their clearance because the trade actually...

Well my argument was alot less of the fact that the crew may escape it was more the fact that they don't become fire fighting attack teams... but I tottaly agree if your driving at high speeds or rolled over or something the things aren't that easy to get out of...

Well I love computer netwroks, radios (I got radio scanners and network switches and all that kind of gear at home). I love making networks and figuring out how they work. Jamming radio signals, doing anything based on a computer in a room with no windows is my kind of thing actually... I don't...

I was wondering if I wanted to change the trade I selected on an ongoing CT application, who must I contact? I originally selected AVN but talking with some Comms Research personnel and finally getting a little more insight on the trade, it has really sparked my interest. It was one of my...

I'll try this one but feel free to correct me. Possibly because tank lav crews are able to "escape" (I know you can argue me and all that but still you can run from the vehicule). On a ship if a fire erupts, the ships crew become the fire fighting crews and have to stay with the fire. That's...
