Although we can certainly hope that "Drawing straws" to determine which elements of the Navy to keep and which to sell never makes it into official policy. ;D

Since I apparently can't get enough math, for reference that would make the average annual return about 10% per year on a claim of $15,000.

Seems the recruiting center is a more dangerous place than originally anticipated.

If you do the math for compound interest for 96 years: 5,250,000 * x^96 = 143,000,000 x^96 = 27.23 X = 1.035 Meaning that in reality, they're getting a 3.5% annual rate of return on the investment, not the 27% you come up with, which is actually pretty close to what you would get with a...

You stopped reading a little bit short, apparently.

Justin, I understand how you feel. My first experience with the CFRC wasn't exactly how I pictured it either. Having a degree can certainly make you feel like a valuable asset that should be sought after. Even more so if you're used to dealing with civilian companies who are willing to roll out...

I wouldn't take it too personally. I assume the "welder" comment wasn't directed at you, it was poking fun at another topic that had sprung up earlier today. I got a laugh out of it, even if it required the context.

Anyways, may as well take another shot here, seeing as how I have eight months of free time on my hands. I completed all of these, but I plan on re-auditing all three as a refresher since three years can really fog your memory. Here is the full listing of all concepts covered in each...

Tango18A, I'll agree with you that anyone only doing something for the money will quickly be sorted out. I will disagree with your assertion that caring about money makes someone less passionate, or that not caring about the money is a prerequisite to be passionate. There are plenty of...

I did, in fact say what I had to. I'm glad that you answered his question, and had some well-intentioned advice. Burying it inside short, condescending replies doesn't help get your message across, and reflects poorly on everyone involved. Nobody should have to be told "Don't Bother" in response...

It's always strange how "Don't bother" tends to turn into "Helpful friendly advice", all the while being neither friendly or helpful. If you had something to say, you should have said it.

Isn't that sort of sentiment just a little counter-intuitive to the whole purpose of the signing bonus; to have qualified personnel who might otherwise not have considered the trade take a second look? This whole "My motivations are purer than yours" idea seems to be a big stumbling block to...

If you use your own vehicle: This method entails the candidate using a personal motor vehicle (whether the vehicle belongs to him/her or someone else). Candidates who wish to park their vehicle in the Saint-Jean Garrison for their course must have registration and insurance papers with them...

I would assume for the same reasons many ideas go unrealized around the world. We live in a world of finite resources. It doesn't matter what your business is, until the need outweighs a lack of money, manpower, popular support, or a combination of the three, it usually isn't going to happen.

Touché.

Is there any actual differentiation between an "In-Demand" job versus an "Open" job from an applicant's point of view? I cant imagine they offer recruitment allowances, so is it just for the benefit of recruiters to target their focus? Or is there some behind-the-scenes benefit to applying for...

On that note, most of my conclusions were drawn from the fact that the 2006 document indicates a change from current policy at the time. Request: It would be helpful if anyone had any official documentation indicating what the official policy was before then. It might help to highlight any...

Prefaced with the usual "I am not qualified to answer your question in any official capacity". I've been rather curious about this as well, and there seems to be a lot of mixed information on the subject. From what I have looked at from the forums, before 2007 there was a hard 3-year limit on...

Unfortunately, the merit of an idea depends heavily on your perspective. After seeing firsthand the hostility encountered at the University of Victoria by the CF and its supporters, I can appreciate the fact that this would be incredibly difficult to launch at more than a few selective...
