See my second post, "if" he's doing a three year diploma vs a three year degree. Surprisingly it's a common point of confusion, one is acceptable, one isn't, as it isn't a degree.

Sorry, I should add an "if" to that statement. There is some confusion about the term "degree" in relation to a three year tech diploma, as they're referred to as an "associates degree" elsewhere.

That's not correct at all... And it's definitely relevant to the question... Hes referring to a three year diploma (also known as an associates degree elsewhere), which is not considered the same as a bachelors degree, and not acceptable to meet the education requirements as an officer, either...

A thought, in the event you're one of many many many folks who got sucked into the long term class-b trap young, with no education other than highschool... If you can afford it, may be a blessing in disguise, go back to school... service Canada is usually willing to extend an EI claim while...

That's "the peacekeepers" from 2005. A documentary. Wrong movie. Peacekeepers was a crappy fiction drama. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0246147/

Might as well, already a lot of weirdos in the trade.

So if the long haired freaky people pass the fit test, what then?

Plus when you're eventually bitter miserable and fed up, you'll know what other opportunities are out there.

If any ETs find themselves dissatisfied by the change... Merchant shipping is going the opposite direction, traditionally all electrical work at sea was performed by the marine engineers, but as most modern vessels are becoming more electrically complex, many operators are hiring/carrying...

They should really start putting "we don't drug test" on their job ads.

I've never seen it in any junior leadership aid de memoir, or training for that matter, but it should be there... Guidance on how to fill out a cf 98.

We discussed installing them on a rig I worked on, ultimately the rig was scrapped before we got around to it. It seemed like a good idea though (we also had concerns about the positive pressure, as we were supposed to be able to maintain a positive air pressure in the accommodations block, we...

There's relatively inexpensive solutions to those problems, just needs someone to write it into a refit spec, or for that matter, very easy for crew on board to do. Given how many folks the navy jams into a boat, investing in UV sterilizers for the AHUs would pay off productive man hours. They...

Nearly ran over a kid this evening who was riding a bike and engrossed in his phone... I'm guessing he probably was.

The headline is wrong... Should read "man assumes he's entitled to a job" The cf recruiting system desperately needs streamlining, but I'm not sure what the issue is here? If there's no openings, there's no openings. Heck he was given an offer and turned it down?

It's fantastic they took the initiative to make that training video... In the latest confined space/fall prevention courses that I took, the practice of writing "call 911" down as a rescue plan was discussed... It's generally regarded as unacceptable in our provincial jurisdiction now, unless...

I don't really feel that makes it any better. Op is clearly aware of the difference in pay scales, but chose the cf anyway... If he feels he's hard done by or not receiving what he was promised, nothing wrong with questioning it. He could well be a greedy whiner, I have no idea, but if his...

Why shouldn't money be a motivating factor in career choices? Unless the recruiting centers start printing "might as well relax, because we're going to screw you" on their pamphlets, if I had joined the forces as a qualified professional, $7200 in my first year of employment would be enough to...

1st battalion royal Newfoundland regiment very definitely has a "real" band, with primary reservist musicians, in the "musician" trade. They're quite good, the majority are music students at MUN, but there's a mix of backgrounds as well.
