This is all dependant on the CFRC you deal with and their policies.  I completed my CFAT and then immediately (within 15 minutes) started my interview.  When the ERC came back, along with the credit check, the MCC gave me a phone call with a question about it. 

I'll be there. Serial 0043.

Well, I guess I've got IPC2 as well, which is what I expected from all the points raised here.  When I first went in there I explained the situation, and that I wanted to determine my IPC level because I was told I'd be Basic but others were told different things.  The Naval Lt. there told me...

Ok, I've got a few.  These are pretty general and off the top of my head, so I apoligize in advance for the lack of thought if I ask a dumb question.  What is the general frame between courses, or for the whole period of phase III/IV?  I read one account of the training schedule, and from...

Can anybody factor a fairly reasonable guess as to what a program like this would cost?

I was in the same situation, I had a fairly large debt, and I was given an offer (I'll be sworn in, in one week).  I've already posted my story in other threads, if you want to search.  Or if you'd rather,  you can PM me, I can try to answer any questions you might have about what you need to do. 

I'm going to head down to the CFRC today and ask for a copy of my COE.  I have no idea what IPC I'm starting at (the clerk "guessed" it was just basic, with no IPC), but if Infantry is getting IPC1, then I think I'd be no worse than that?  Unless it is just experience, and because I have none...

I certainly hope that calling it a peacekeeping brigade is simply a way to sell it to the public, but only time will tell. That said, the idea that it is just a euphemism also worries me.  If the general public, the people paying for the peacekeeping brigade, believe this is just a peacekeeping...

There was supposed to be a B17 at the Saskatoon Air Show this last weekend, but I guess on the way here it blew an engine and landed.  With the rather lousy weather, the lack of good airplanes, and everything else, the Saskatoon Air Show wasn't very good this year.  It even seemed like there...

It obviously is discrimination, as it fits the very definition.  Whether its legal or not is what remains to be seen.  You're right, its not that simple, I oversimplified.  But my point stands.  If the US defence concerns prevent a Canadian company (or, in this case, an American company with...

Fair enough, but thats not what this article is about.  Its about Canadian workers of a US company, operating in Canada, which does business with the US government.  The fact that some of them have worked there for decades (i.e. long before they started making the Stryker) indicates they are...

From what others have said, every CFRC seems to do it differently. I didn't get anything in the mail, so I went in to ensure nothing had been sent (I was having mail delivery problems at the time).  The clerk said she hadn't sent anything because she hadn't booked the flight yet.  Then she...

SIGS (84) is the obvious choice.  Basically the Army version of CELE.  If you're interested in CELE, you'd probably be interested in SIGS, and you get the $40k recruitment allowance to boot (at least, its on the books as lasting until 2006).  But don't pick something just because its high...

People with no drug using experience aren't necessarily "afraid to think outside the box".  They aren't the only ones capable of having life experience.  Those classifications are no different than someone else saying "anybody with a history of drug use is going to get trippy on the...

One thing you might want to consider with the DEO route is that pilot selection (or selection for any officer trade, but especially so with pilot) is quite competitive.  Because you don't have a degree, that could be the deciding factor when selection boards roll around.  This is all conjecture...

skura:  good work, but you made that more complex than you needed to.  3-3/4 laps + 100 meters is simply 4 laps.  For my measuring of distances distances, I just borrowed a GPS.  5k is probably a good number to be able to do.  The fitness test requires 2.4km, but as you mentioned with...

Unfortunately I cannot clear up anything there.  My only experience with the recruiting system is what I went through a few months ago.  I also didn't apply for 031, so I couldn't even factor a guess (well I could, but it more than likely wouldn't be accurate) as to what might've happened.  Your...

Out of curiosity, which MOC are you applying for?  Or better yet, where did you hear about this 5 year minimum?  I'm enrolling through the DEO plan shortly, and I don't recall coming across anything mentioning 5 years and DEO in the same instance. 

Did somebody specifically tell you your file hadn't been forwarded to Borden, or did you just assume that because you saw 'your file' still there?  While I was awaiting selection, I made a few visits to the CFRC from time to time, and they pulled my file for whatever reason.  Even though they...
