    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    I would like to think he is telling me the truth (to some degree). I don't want to think that I did suck that bad on the test that I am unfit for the one trade that I have been after for so long now. He is a good friend of mine so I am hoping he wouldn't lie to me. But I do know, that everything...

    How do the families cope during a tour? Tips and pointers for first timers.

    [color=orange] Thanks "Chickie" for all of your help and support through everything. I know I can get into my "groove".

    salute women who board a vessel?

    My husband is on HMCS Iroquois. I usually only go on ship when he's duty and on the brow. When I come on board he always salutes myself. I was kind of shocked the first time this took place, however, now I am more accustomed to it. From what I can remember though, he is the only one who salutes...

    Asthma & the CF (merged thread)

    I had my medical done this morning. The subject of my asthma came up. Now my interview is delayed while I go to my doctor and get a 9 page "assessment" done to show I am capable to doing the PT.

    :'( Went in this morning for my CFAT, medical and interview. Well so far I have 2 out of the 3 done. I bite some hard azz when I took the CFAT (even after studying every possible aptitude test online I could find) and therefore didn't get the choice I wanted for the reserves. So now I am...

    How do the families cope during a tour? Tips and pointers for first timers.

    Just a thought of my own ... My husband has been posted on the Iroquois now for 3 years. I, myself, am in the process of joining the reserves. I would much rather the reserves. I shouldn't be posted ... and transferred to where my husband would be posted. Once I have a few years under my...
