    Joining Military with an Electrical Engineering Degree

    If you want design and R & D, private engineering firms are the way to go. If you want to get your hands dirty, there are some firms which will let you have a part in a project from day one. I can't say that there are no positions for an NCSEO in either design or R&D. But I can comfortably say...

    Looking to join up!

    Just make sure that when you say you're going to work on your fitness while your application is pending, that you actually do. St Jean takes people of average fitness, and raises them to good. It takes people of excellent fitness, and reduces them to good. People with poor to no fitness end up...

    what if you don't pass the minimum standards

    The PT you do at CFLRS is much higher in frequency/duration/volume than the EXPRES test minimum standards would lead you to believe. Showing up at CFLRS at or below the EXPRES test standard is going to seriously increase your risk of recourse or an injury. It happens very frequently. And from...

    BMOQ - September 2011

    I'd give anything for a few more days. Got my offer on the 19th. There's just not enough hours in the day to get everything done!

    Can you apply to two jobs within the Canadian Armed Forces at the same time?

    What you just described is essentially the problem. Why should the CF take a spot away from someone who actually wants that trade, take the time and money to train you, and then take the time, money, and administrative effort to transfer you to a different occupation that you wanted in the...

    Why the US was downgraded...

    These two sentences sum up exactly why the United States' financial situation is allowed to continue. Rather than acknowledging the large systematic flaws that run deep within the American financial system, from the tax code, to entitlements, to wasteful spending, it becomes trivially easy for...

    Time to apply?

    I was in this exact same situation. Like you, I received conflicting information. I finished my classes in December, applied in the middle of March, and had my convocation (degree in hand) in June. In hindsight, I should have gone in straight when my final marks came in in January. The only...

    WHEN IS the next Naval Officer Assessment Board (NOAB) ?

    As of today, I was told by the CFRC that there were to be no NOAB for NCSEO's for the current fiscal year. I was told that there would instead be a selection held during the first week of September.

    Questions & Advice about work out routine.

    Are you specifically trying to lose weight? 13 pounds in 12 days is a lot of weight to be dropping so fast. Yes, a restricted calorie diet will have an effect on your weight training. Losing weight and putting on muscle are opposing goals. The two will almost never happen simultaneously. You...

    Questions & Advice about work out routine.

    If you want to build size and power in your upper body, weights are the way to go. Don't isolate small muscle groups, it's not an efficient way to reach your stated goals. Heavy weight, lower (5-8) rep sets. Make sure to balance your training. IE: match a horizontal push (Bench Press), with a...

    The Vancouver Canucks Rule Thread! ha ha

    RE: Boston fans chanting at Raymond. That was horrible. Totally unclassy. They had no way of knowing how serious the injury was, but still. Keep your mouth shut and clap when he gets up. They're getting a pretty good going over in hockey circles. But I wouldn't be throwing out the "Boston...

    The Vancouver Canucks Rule Thread! ha ha

    I mean, where's Bieksa in all this? He used to be willing to stand up for his teammates. It seems recently he's decided he's earned the right to only stand up to scary tough guys like Patrick Marleau and Viktor Stalberg.  ::)

    The Vancouver Canucks Rule Thread! ha ha

    The instigator rule isn't the problem. The instigator rule protects players like Sean Avery and Alex Burrows - guys who love to run around and act like children, but will do anything to avoid dropping the gloves. When it comes to guys like Marchand and Thornton, they're both willing to answer...

    The Vancouver Canucks Rule Thread! ha ha

    Which is why it is happening now. He knows that there is nobody on the Canucks who has shown any will to stand up to him. I mean, this is the team that stood there and watched their star player get punched in the face a dozen times, without him or any of his team-mates doing anything about it.
