Well, since I was in RFT in March-April, and I am finished basic, going on SQ, and then my trades course, all by September 10, I would count myself among those lucky few who were in the right place at the right time, to make it to my trades course so soon, and I haven`t seen any `negative...

Okay, I've got some time now to fill in some gaps, so here goes. Everybody freaks out and worries about the possibility of going to RFT, but it's really not that bad of a thing. Just think of it this way, you're still getting paid, and you are getting a second chance to improve your physical...

oh, man, I guess I really dropped the ball here.... I did RFT for a month back in March/April, and had told a few people on the site here that I would type up an informational post for those concerned about it... Trouble is, that my computer was stolen (coincidentally, from the civi lockup on...

probably just a different day for the grad parades, Junior. And I *did* say that it was rumor, and unconfirmed. I'd say that if your posting message would be the definative proof one way or the other, so expect the 14 weeks, and as Pea said, if it's only 10, that's just a bonus.

I'm here (CFLRS) right now, on RFT, and My new platoon will be starting May 7. It hasn't been officially confirmed, but the rumor right now, is that the may 7 course will be a guinee pig course (again) for the 10 week basic. Not confirmed by any means, but I have heard it from staff and...

And she's an officer, to boot... okay, not yet, she's a CIC Ocdt, but at least I'll be meeting with at least one member of the CF that's isn't a part of the training center that weekend. Does that count for anything? Oh, of that I have no doubt, I'm going to be waiting for a few months after...

Well, I've got a tough choice to make now... Spend sat. night with a bunch of drunken army folk, or spend it in Montreal with a girl from back home who's only here that weekend..... As much as I'd like to get down there with you all, I think you can all see what I'm getting at.... I swear...

I've sent a PM off to Vern RE: arrangements for the weekend. Yes, I am not certain that I'll be able to make it down with Vern, but I'm still in the dark about what's happening to me 2 weeks from now, and since I'm on RFT up until 2 days prior, a few different situations could arise at that...

Watching a batch of FOBs getting reamed their first morning for not eating breakfast (a chargeable offense) I'm still here for a while, so I'm sure I'll think of/see more.

I'm here right now (at CFLRS) and I don't find it too bad. I'm on RFT, and we work out the whole day, so by the time 2300 rolls around, we're dead, and just feel lucky to have somewhere to fall onto. The waking up at 0500 you'll get used to quickly, after 2 weeks of being here, I'm already...

hey folks, I'm short on time, since I'm posting from the pay per play computer at St. Jean. I won't be able to make it down for this, I just got transfered to RFT, and that weekend will likely be when I'm put back on platoon strength, so no weekend off for me. On the plus side though, I'll be...

Okay, now I HAVE to come down with Vern, this I gotta see.

it's spoonfeeding time!!! (doesn't happen very often, so be gratefull) cflrs.forces.gc.ca has everything you need to know about basic.

I already corrected myself on that point. But this is not the point, the point is that you should make every effort to complete your education now, rather than having to go back when you're 40. Also keep in mind that part of the application process is an interview, in which they will most...

I apologize, my earlier statement was incorrect, I was off by a year. For reserves, you can be 16 with parent's consent, but cannot be deployed, for Regular forces, you must be 17 with parent's consent, but the educational requirements remain the same, grade 10 (secondary III in Quebec) Nic

True, but what you can do instead, is join a reserve unit (I assume you are 17+) and complete high school. Then transfer to the regs. I say this, because once you're done your time in the CF, and want a good civilian job, you are most likely going to require your diploma, and "going back" will...

Grade 10 is the minimum level required for joining the CF. But I would strongly urge that you complete high school first, if you do not, you will end up regretting it. This coming from someone who at one time entertained the idea of not completing. Cheers, Nic

I'm on 0045, no E though, I'm not sure what the E means, You said it's for English, but I am slated for an english platoon as well (I hope I am anyway).

The Wheat Sheaf is also good if you want wings, nachos, etc. Great atmosphere, and it's not too busy in there. (The Shakespeare arms in Guelph reminded me a lot of it, for you guys who were at the Dec. meet. it's at King & Bathurst tho, I don't think it's too close for subway, and as a little...

I haven't sworn in yet (tomorrow at 1230) so I can still be a pain in the ass to everyone for the next 12 hours or so.
