Yep.... nothing "new" in there...

Not CFRC Montreal, in my experience.  (I know, I know, I've been told not to apply through Montreal.... :) ) When they do call, it's terrible.  (Hi, this is (garbled due to background noice)  Lachance from the Recruiting (garbled). Please call (garbled). Its not really a big deal if you've...

Since I am no longer a young whippersnapper :)  Just a slightly older one, my time sucks.  But I am doing exactly as suggested above, generally a mix of progressively longer jogs one day out, and the next day out a progressively faster run on the treadmill for 2.4k, with 2% inclination.  The...

Im pretty sure I thought I saw one back around this time last year when it was starting...  maybe not... I have a friend who was on the guinea pig course so I heard a lot about it). I suppose you could always start your own.. there is generally less info on here about Officer life, which makes...

Anecdotally, you laugh, but interestingly enough, a lot of companies actually do have 13th, (a tremember!) 14th and 15th periods of the year  in order to do all that financial wrangling and such after the "actual" year ends.  Maybe this folk is from the accounting world....

Positive already I see. You do realize that people in the military take vacations too, right?  And that, as much as the military likes everyone to be the same, everyone starts out so very unique, with very different circumstances, qualifications, trade choices, and not at all evenly spread out...

I particularly like how the government then further gave a grant to invest.... lots of Govnt money flowing into a place the Govnt technically doesn't control.

Having previously applied for an MP trade (not accepted due to CV3), I can try to assist you with a few. 1. No. 2. 3 years for most NCM trades, may be longer for MP (not positive) 3. Depends what you mean by opportunity, though it would probably be a good idea to look at it that way :)  You...

Seen. Though, CFLDC and Richelieu Squadron essentially had the same shared resources;  Richelieu Squadron was technically under the command of the Commandant of CFLDC when I was there, (though I don't think it was called CFLDC?) We did indeed use most of the services of ASU St Jean, and in...

Is there any suitable residential housing in the town that the base is located in?

CFSJ history, http://www.cfsj.qc.ca/A02-Historique.php Sorry, its only in French. Apparently though it says that in 2000, a 25 year lease was signed.

I just searched PRETC and got very many hits.....  Remember when you use the search in the Recruiting section, it only searches Recruiting... Interestingly enough, Google also returned valuable results for PRETC AND PAT.  And it refers to Army.ca...

Technically, MCG, that's not exactly accurate. At least when I was there, DND owned the land, leased it to a NotProfit (Corporation du Fort St Jean) for 1$ and then paid the NotProfit lease and rent for the space it used. The Surete du Quebec and other groups at least used to rent space there...

Bad assumption.  Research PAT platoon, also PRETC.

josh1r... this has been discussed ad-nauseum on the forum. If there are enough pers coming in on the same flight, and the military has a bus and driver! to spare, they go and pick up.  If you all come in at random times from different places, then you all go yourselves. Since every course has...

My guess is it all depends on circumstance....  plenty of Recruiting folk around here have been saying for some time how that every situation is different.

Congratulations. Thank you for signing up. As for the bus thing, asking about previous serials is probably unnecessary with respect to your own.  Just wait and see if they offer one... getting to St Jean really is the last thing you need to worry about - most people seem to be able to get...

However, my additional 0.02 is that every trade in the CF supports every other trade, and, particularly in the Army, Combat Arms. The RMS Clerk in the rear not doing their job ultimately may mean that you don't have the Inf soldier up front using his/her weapon.  It's all interrelated... it's...

Indeed, and this is what she has told me herself.  But there is a difference between being supportive/accepting unconditionally, and being wholeheartedly for something.

Sadly, the "Great Green Underwear Lie" is the real reason I released from ROTP.  I just couldn't deal with the betrayal after learning that the CF only issued long undergarments.  I had such dreams of wearing a beautiful green thong....  ;)
