I’m not so sure they are correct, given what I’ve seen over the years MMT personnel don’t spend a whole lot of time in the field doing infantry stuff. Once they are traded qualified, they are working in their warehouse. Their job is to supply materials, manage material materials, order...

If you are keen on doing infantry stuff, join the infantry. Other trades are usually too busy doing their actual job to worry about learning infantry stuff. We all learn the basics of how to be a soldier, and every so often we go to the field and shoot weapons and do gas hut and ruck marches...

You should contact the CFRC in Toronto. If your address is Toronto, the application was likely sent to the Toronto CFRC.

This. This is the best way to put it. Also definitely start training NOW. Whether or not you get an offer (as offers are never guaranteed just for applying, like any other job), use this time to get yourself in the best possible shape. That way if you do get an offer, you will be ready. If you...

Well you won't get permission to go during class very often, so that will help. And the class periods are typically only 40 min, with a 10 min break in between (which is sometimes the exact amount of time needed to get from one class to the next as a platoon.)

What do you mean, no coffee? There is coffee at the kitchen, and there are vending machines for coffee in the green and blue break areas.

Access to your car during the indoc period will be dependent on your staff. You will need to request permission to go to the parking lot to start your car. You could make friends with people on other platoons and if you trust them enough, have them start your car. Really though, your car should...

As long as you have not signed your contract you can still decline. Once you sign the contract and get sworn in, the process is a little more cmplicated.

I spoke to my CFRC when they offered me a job. I had to defer for reasons different than yours but equally valid to me. They put me back on the competition list to wait for the next round of selections. 4 Months later I got an offer I was then ready to accept. It's been 15+ years that I have now...

It is highly unlikely that they will defer the offer. I also asked to defer my offer and they said fine but they were putting me back on the competition list to wait for the next round of selections. Is it possible to move up the wedding?

the CAF does not use civilian pattern vehicles (cars) so they are going to teach you stuff that will be immediately applicable to a car. You will learn everything you need to know to fix a G Wagon, LSVW, F450 Ambulance, Silverado Milcot, MSVS, LVVW, wrecker, gator, and probably a ton of vehicles...

Med Fit means medically fit for duty.

Vehicle Tech will teach you about all the land based vehicles the CAF has. You can extrapolate that information to help you with your car, but we don't spend a lot of time driving cars in the CAF.

1. the recruiting process takes the same amount of time no matter what trade you are applying for. So anywhere between 6 months and 2+ years, depending on your background check, security clearance, interview, medical, and SEAF. 2. Every officer joins as a OCdt during BMOQ. After that, based on...

As armoured? you won't learn anything about your vehicle if you go crewman. If you want to work on vehicles of all kinds, go Vehicle Technician. If you want to drive all vehicles, go MSE Op. If you want to drive a tank then go crewman.

If you are going to change trades, do so BEFORE you sign your contract. They are hiring you for a specific job, and now you want them to offer you a different job. It won't happen after basic and it takes a LOOOOOOONG time to change trades in the CAF

No they will look at your file and say it hasn't been a year yet. Why would they want to do all the rest of the work, when there is a chance you still won't be accepted based on medical? They won't do that for someone's application that is put on hold for Lasik eye surgery, so definitely not in...

Like the med tech was stating that your chances are greatly improved after one year vs applying right away. One year post attempt with no additional attempts looks like a solid turnaround. But attempting last week, and then applying this week kinda demonstrates a lot of doubt and indecision...

For me if I have to buy the patch, I’m not wearing it. My trade does not supply the qualification patches.
