I agree with you, to a point.   I am QL5 qualified and have absolutely zero training (already confirmed with the MA) to get into my trade which is distressed and offering bonuses.   I have been waiting well over three years.   Currently I'm waiting to head out to depot in Regina for the RCMP.  ...

I've seen ads for a Military Entertainment Book... you know, like the ones your kids sell for fundraising at the schools.  Its probably mostly for US stores, but still might be worth a look at.  I'm curious what's in it.  If I find a link I'll post, most likely its a subsite of entertainment.com...

I'm curious about housing in the Winnipeg area.   I may purchase an inexpensive house there either to live in for a while then rent out, or simply as a rental investment.   I have a few areas in mind and I'm hoping to speak with someone who either knows the city well as of recent, or lives there...

I believe the public needs to be educated about the military family lifestyle.   Here is my example. When my wife was growing up in Ontario the image she had of the "boys in Borden" was not good at all, basically she was told to stay the heck away from   military men.   This was a general...

In Vancouver you can get either 20 or 25% off the monthly pass rate for Parks & Rec.  I swim 3-5 times a week at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre and I pay $28 and change a month, and its a nice facility for doing lanes. Also, most lumber stores will give you a small discount (10% or so) if you ask...

I will reply in further detail when I have more time, but one thing I can reply to is to George Wallace's question about the CFRC "being primarily manned by reservists, who by virtue of their component status have in general less knowledge of what it means to be Reg Force, and military...

Thanks mrosseker, I may be in touch once the holidays are over.   It took me a while to gather the proper paperwork, references, medical forms etc. for the mountie application, but once it was in it took just over three months for them to get me an interview, and not much longer to call with an...

I just received an offer from the RCMP, and I have accepted it.  The offer is bittersweet because if it weren't for the fact I've been waiting three years in the CF application process I would stick it out a bit longer and wait to join regular force. I still need to get more details, but it...

Hey ab thats great news.  But I'm a bit confused, I had the impression you had already done all of this and were already merit listed?  Regardless, great news and hope you get a quick offer.

Thank the lord!  That sure makes me feel much better.  Thanks for the information MJP.  Any idea when it may happen?

You said it was only one of the reasons, I'm almost positive it wasn't the primary reason he wasn't accepted.  I find it offensive that someone would even mention someone's acne, is it really anything to do with a soldiers abilities?  It sounds like someone a kid would say in high school "you...

If you've read the Ombudsman's Report you will see many many applicants with the same complaints.  I'm in the same situation, its taken three years now and I'm QL5 qualified, the trade I'm in and applying to (CT'ing) is code red distressed, offering bonuses.  If they don't get me in this year...

I haven't received an offer yet, this information is from the MA, not recruiting.  I've been selected but they are doing the PLAR right now, and so far that is what they are coming up with.  Res or Reg, the QL5 course is the same and hasn't changed since I finished the final component earlier...

I doing a CT from Reserve to Reg. Force.   I am currently QL5 qualified (active Class B) in the MOC I'm going to CT to Reg. FOrce as,   but there must be some things missing from my file because the MA stated that I will be offered a position at QL3(p).  The QL5 course I just took is the same as...

Do we know what % yet?  Or has that yet to be decided? DME

Dammit I just found out they will be doing my PLAR soon, and I will "most likely go in as QL3 (p)".   But for petes sake I am QL5 right now, and not provisional.   WTF is up with that?   I'm thinking they must not have all the information in my file.

I'm in airfield engineers and our veh techs are army, but they wear their own greens.  I believe our EOD guys are army as well. *trying to think*

I understand  Medics, cooks, clerks, vehicle techs are purple trades.  What are some of the other trades that can be more than one element?  Carpentry?  Engineers?  And does that vary at times with Regs and Reserves?  What about trades such as electricians - ED and EGS techs are only Army and...

Pity they couldn't do more with Jericho.  There's not enough land for a large army base however.

There was a catfight at Billy Bishops when I was there Remembrance Day afternoon. From what I saw the staff had cleared the chairs so the band could play upstairs, and I guess this one chick wanted to get closer to the band so she squeezed in behind the band, where the chairs were cleared. I...
