I thought I would just tag along my facial hair question to this existing thread: How strict are they at BMQ/BMOQ for older men who are prone to get the annoying 5'oclock shadow (especially when humidity is high). Are you required to shave more than once in a day in this case or is facial hair...

Congratulations! Yours is one of the stories I have been following for a long time due to many similar circumstances, so I hope you pop in from time to time and let us know how things went.

Doh!

I do indeed sometimes feel stiffness in my left hip, but it seems to happen more often on days where I have held my daughter for a long time (15 minutes or more at a time, sometimes even hours) before my run.

Yeah, I think I am leaning towards option B as well. I have never had a professional help me chose a shoe and I really wonder (am curious about) how much of a difference it may end up making. My current shoes have about 500km on them so I think they should last me a good bit longer.

I am curious to find out how this pans out. I hope the call leads to something good. Lots of congratulations mixed with a dash of jealousy =p

The big decision with running shoes I need to make is if I want to: A) Buy a pair of running shoes from a mall sports shoe store here in Japan, break them in, then bring them to Canada. OR B) Wait until I arrive in Canada and get a pair of shoes from the Running Room where I can get a pair...

Please enlighten a civvie trying to understand these articles (I'm just an applicant at the moment). -Aren't medals only awarded and given to members of the CAF (at all ranks, both NCM and Officer) only after they have been confirmed to have be earned and then generally presented in some sort...

While I did not receive the same email, during my interview for AVS in August I was told not to expect any offers until April 2015 despite the trade being in high demand (but that I am very likely to eventually get in).

As an out of country applicant, my road to a career in the Canadian Forces has been a long one so far despite not having any problems with my application and my desired trade being in very high demand. In September of 2013, after discussing it at length with my wife, I decided to apply for AVS ...

Wall of text warning! To skip past the back story leading to my decision to apply as an AVS Tech (Avionics Systems Tech), go to the next post. I am a 33 year old male who is living in Japan with a wife and two children. I have lived in Japan for about 8 years now but I am Canadian born and...

Congrats on the offer! It is a good thing you only would accept what you really want to do eh? Maybe I need to transfer my file to Edmonton then lol. The normal response to my emails are an automated message telling me that X is out of the office until Y followed by no response at all. Only...

*Edited out. I probably should not express what will likely happen, regardless of if I am correct or not.* The only people who can tell you for sure is the medical office. You can call your recruiting office and request that you talk to the medical office staff directly even before your actual...

You are oh so close! After your medical it is just a matter of waiting for an offer should you qualify. I did my medical in mid August but doubt I will make the November selection board in time because of my 'foreign implications' needing a security check though *sigh*.

I changed my trades (including NCM -> Officer -> Back to NCM) multiple times during the application process. I was told I can change all I want as long as I qualify for it and it is before my interview (since the interview is specific to the trade and element). If you have already done your...

Perhaps I did not express the actual question part clearly as my questions pertain to anyone applying to CAF from out of Canada, not just myself or my file. What my questions boil down to is: 1) Can an applicant who has been offered a position and asked to swear in request the city where they...
