Hey everyone. I did a search on this, and couldn't find anything that was close to what I was looking for.  Lots of questions about deployment pay, but nothing regarding my questions, which is: I swore in on June 3rd, 2011.  I am on LWOP until I report for BMQ on July 9Th, 2011.  I know that...

I think it's only the officer students.  When you see any of the NCOs at BMQ, they all complete BMQ as PTE (R), so they actually have a blank rank symbol on their sleeves...  Everytime I saw an instructor on all of the Basic Up videos, they had their regular CADPAT ranks on, and they're green...

A buddy of mine has been in the NAvy for about 7 years now, and he says that the military has a "hurry up and wait" mentality...  As it was, I had to wait for what I thought was an eternity to get my job offer and get sworn in.  But as I continue to cruise these chat forums, I find people who...

I can't help it... My wife has my man-card... ;D

Oh, and to the three people who deducted 300 milpoints from me earlier, I thank you.  Proper punishment for a bonehead move... Thanks for keeping me honest, guys.  I hereby retract any statement I made in this thread.  I now have no opinion regarding this topic. ***Edited for Spelling***

Well, seeing as I'm up to my knee now, with no hope of recovery, I for one welcome our new US overlords, and hope that they will be able to inform us if we require the services of an added Marine Corps... I give myself a BIG  :facepalm: I gotta learn to stay in my lane and not post when I'm...

CDN Aviator:  Thank you for correcting me.  I was only stating that which I THOUGHT I knew... Journeyman:  While it may be true that my time in amounts to the three days since I have sworn in, it has been and always will be my honest opinion that the CF has more honour , loyalty, and tradition...

I say we invade Turkey and rename it Chicken.  Then we can have a serious discussion about invading anywhere else... As for a Marinew Force...  Our Reg Force Army makes the USMC look like a bunch of Boy Scouts IMHO.  The only reason USMC is so popular is because of the fact that they have...

:+1: I wonder if pitdroid would have someone fill out his CF application for him too??? Recce is dead on, dude.  Give us YOUR suggestions... or quit asking about theoretical situations that are either being looked after now, or will probably never be an issue.  :brickwall: I'm pretty sure...

OK, I want a couple of these to look after my wife while I'm at BMQ this summer... Rev

Here's a real dumb one... http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/101076/post-1048920.html#msg1048920 Topic:  "Will you fight if the US attacked us?" If anyone reads it through, you will see where I really put my foot in my mouth... I nominate the person who started this particular thread, and...

Really???  And this person made it INTO a 12th grade biology class??? I know that they meant something along the lines of:  "What are the probabilities of someone producing twins when they have twins in their family, as opposed to someone who doesn't have twins in their family?" Sometimes, it...

CDN Aviator, you are absolutely correct.  I apologize for veering out of my lane. I was trying to say that that this is such a non-issue that I can't believe that someone would start a thread about it.  Why would the US attack us?  If it wasn't for us, America wouldn't have ANY real allies they...

Who thinks these things up???  ::) Any proper member of the CF will tell you that they don't care what their orders are, and that they will follow them.  But who honestly thinks this is an actual threat???  Doesn't the US have something more pressing to worry about???  Like, say, their...

If what I've been told is correct, They will be swearing us in en masse, due to the amount of recruits being sworn in in Ottawa on Friday.  The local recruiting centre was not big enough.  I still have yet to be given a location for the ceremony, however, I do suspect that I will be informed of...

Holy snappers!!!  There are so many Navy recruits going to St. Jean this July!!! I know there are quite a few ping bosns going (Sonar Op), a few NavComms (NAval Communicators) and there are a few Sig Ops for the army, but, just out of sheer curiosity, how many registered with this site are...

This is a very good question, and it affects more people than we realize.  I will also be a new daddy while I am away at BMQ in July.  Actually, it is so tight... I report in St. Jean on July 9th by 2000hrs, and my son is due on July 14th.  My wife keeps trying to find ways to go into labour two...

I think everyone's selection board is different.  Mine was in Otttawa, and I was told I should be getting a call sometime in April, but my call actually came sometime in May.  The recruiters can't say for certain when you'll get the call, but don't let that get you down.  IMHO if it takes the...

Awesome news, bud!!!  Now don't do what I've done.  I've been sitting around too long, and I swear in next friday...  I leave for BMQ in a little over a month, and my PT is struggling at the moment... My advice to you, in this stage of your application, is get off of the couch and get moving. ...

Atta boy!!!  There is no such thing as "NO."  If you really want something bad enough, find a way to turn that "NO" into a "YES" and use it to your advantage. "No, I can't do that?  Fine.  What can I do?" It'll work all the time, mark my words. Good on ya bud, and good luck with your app. Rev
