    Dress no. 3B, 3C?

    Could someone tell me what--or provide a link with information--dress nos 3B and 3C consist of, please?   I'm mainly interested in air force, but navy and army would be useful as well.   Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Thanks!

    New DEOs and January BOTC

    Separation Expense is $11.50 per day. Field Pay is more like $16.50 per day. But.... Separation Expense is tax free, Field Pay is not.  As such, your field pay ends up around $11 or $12 after taxes. And now for the big point here.... The Field Pay is deducted day for day from any Separation...

    System Upgrades- Improvments Over The Years

    Doesn't just improve the bandwidth usage, the menus themselves are a big improvement.  The old ones used to really annoy me.  Good job, Mike!

    Schedule day of and day after basic graduation

    Can anyone give me a run-down of what sort of schedule we'll have upon graduation from BOTP?  Here's the situation: Assuming all goes well in IAP/BOTP, I am slated to graduate on December 17th.  Now, this date just happens to be my wedding anniversary.  So, I have a few questions that I think...

    Communications and Electronics Engineering ( CELE )

    Interview results are only good for 6 months before they need to be "updated".   Your update interview will likely be much shorter.   Just going over any changes that have occured since your last one, and anything new you might want to add. So, if you did your interview 6 months ago, was your...

    Communications and Electronics Engineering ( CELE )

    With regards to splitting CELE into CELE (Air) and Sigs O, here are a few documents that give excellent insight (hoser, I imagine you've already seen these).   The first one is a memo and is probably most informative for a quick overview on why the split was made.   Visit the links below in...

    Argentine troops

    Cdnrecon78 posted a pic from Haiti of a mixed Canadian-Argentine patrol.   I was just wondering if anyone who has any experience serving with Argentine troops can post some general thoughts and impressions about them.   Would be interesting to know the shape of changes that post-military...

    Polls and changing trends

    There are a few polls that I have participated in which my opinion has changed from the time I made an answer.  It would nice if we could "modify" our answer.  I know this might scew the poll, but having some sort of feature that takes a snapshot of poll results each week or something like that...

    Credit Check Superthread- Merged Topics

    Good credit history isn't even necessarily the ball breaker.  The key factor is: are you in charge of your debts.  That means, are your debts out of hand, or are you making regular payments.  If they have a question about it, they'll ask you and give you an opportunity to explain.

    Direct Entry Officer (DEO) questions [Merged]

    Well, after my swearing-in ceremony I have a little more insight into the initial IPC for DEOs.  Of 6 that swore in (including me), 4 were starting at IPC2, with the other two at IPC1.  The IPC2 lucksters are all engineers, with the other two being Infantry and MPO.  Also, I know that the...

    want to join but wife says no

    This is an excellent suggestion/idea!  One of my wife's major concerns was that I would be away for so long over the first couple of years.  She doesn't have much in the way of support groups where we live.  We got a puppy and I can already see the brightening of her days and a change in her...

    Direct Entry Officer (DEO) questions [Merged]

    Generic to the point that the same sort of things are covered.  The interviewer has a form containing topics that they go over.  They will mark down a grade for that topic, plus perhaps some comments.  This part is fairly generic.  What isn't generic is dependent upon you as an individual.  Your...

    interview

    DrSize is correct.  That sheet is for your own use, to help you prepare (and it does a good job of it, as long as you are honest with yourself when answering the questions).  No one at the CFRC should have a need to see that form, let alone "refer to it". Since it is for your own use fill it...
