I really like these threads and any advice that's been passed on from experience.  I am really going to try and save the most that I can for as long as I can. I am still searching for a rough idea of how much Rations and Quarters will be at various areas around the country to budget for my first...

Congrats Rocket. That's the kind of news I am waiting for myself!  Good on you luck or not.

You live in Vancouver? Basic is in September? Why not quit worrying about how you are going to or how you can or how you will fail the physical tests and ACTUALLY GET UP AND WORK FOR IT. Go run Grouse Mountain. There are alot of people, who deserve a chance for a career with the Canadian...

Good luck! Alea hit it on making a list...might sound strange but when I went in the first time  all my qiuestions came back to me as I was leaving. Now I keep a small note pad for any questions regarding anything. Tell us what you decide

Actually the contact info I posted was directly from the Locate Us link at www.forces.ca , That is neither here nor there now. Luckily a professional stepped in and prevented a mistake from being made by way of "what someone on the internet said they would do" and provided the proper course of...

Good thing this came up. I was way off. Sorry.

This is entirely your call. Ask yourself what the difference is? All you CAN do is go Reserves right norw or Cadets, right?  So do it or dont. NOTHING is stopping you from either. You've answered your own question actually. Thats an opinion, and thats what you asked for. But they are like...

Alea. Mew. Great points. There is a over complicating syndrome that seems to press like dawns first light- but that goes for anything that anyone is trying to do their best as you mentioned Mew.  sense of things. I'm not a wise old trout but just from what I've experienced so far a good rule...

Hey Holly, Thats a bummer, hopefully you printed the screens or sheets you filled out. I had to fill out 3 applications and I had alot of info to put down. My advice take Monday to do the following: Notify CFRC North Bay when the lines open...Leaving a message is not an option there trust me...

You're good. Med Techs need it though. http://forces.ca/html/artillerysoldierfield_reg_en.aspx Under qualification . I am sure it helps though.

Infantry ?? Congrats!!!  Good on ya !  Stil hoping I get a call soon !

Thanks for the extra info. But Ballz beat me too it. BEEP TEST= Results of cardovascular and training as a whole (in this case) You'll get there eventually but work on you're cardio and endurance. Keep interval training in mind but dont use it as foundation. Too tough on you. cardio...

I need to provide proof asper many fire departments selection guidelines, so every 6 months I am back to a University to do it. Hopefully no more of that. I wouldnt want to guess how much the equipment costs, and for that reason doubt there is a very acurate home kit. I wouldn't trust much in...

Just how are you calculating your VO2 Max ? This measurement takes some serious equipment that requires someone to monitor it, and from my experiences this couldnt be done whilst performing a beep test (Correct me if Iam wrong). Maybe look into that. Im curious to know how you get your VO2...

This is going to get funny in a hurry...Panic much? Just so you do know, no one can share what is on it. Practice the tests the CFRC gave you, and be early for you're appointment. Its Step One, chill out. Also find some cover because this topic has been kicked to death here and you're...

Hey there, First off, bad news over your foot. Sorry that happened. From what you said of the experience, my non professional opinion (since I have yet to fully complete my EMT, and even then I will be no Doctor haha) maybe she was indicating you had a stress injury. From just the symptoms...

First congratulations on being awarded the job and a start date ! I went to college in Barrie, ON and to make the ends-meet with bills and tuition I worked at the Queens as a doorman. You should feel lucky you'll be nowhere close to having the kind of hangovers I watched the droves of Recruits...

My point with the following is, EVERYONE'S case is different. Period. Talk about leap of faith, you're brave for attempting to find logic in your buddies idea - going with the trial and error approach, sorry it isn't working. Everyone gets different accounts toward the status of infantry...

You "just" missed it too my friend. My kid brother was told there was 128 positions for it back in ... July. I dropped him off at Borden September 12th to start. Keep on truckin

This is my first post so I want to be careful and not step on anyones toes here, but I think the death penalty serves more as a final justice or punishment for a crime already committed, moreover than a deterrent to a violent crime. If someone is going to, or capable of, carrying out such crimes...
