Yes that's the only way.

Thanks Fergie and Tango, there should be lots of reading in my near future! Kind of glad most of it will not cost me any money either...Also, I saw you stickied the Armour Officer thread you said you were going to post Tango, thanks for that, I'll check it out. I agree real world experience is...

Well for one I'm looking for certain tactics an Armour Officer employs/did employ [which would be Greatest Tanks Battles, it's a pretty good one], and AFV recognition etc. Basically just want general knowledge!

Hey all, I have been seriously considering Armour Officer as my number one [and possibly only] trade to apply for once I am done University. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books or other sources of information related to the trade/armour in general? Just want to immerse myself in...

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. What would/could a superior order you to do if it is not related to the CF?

Well you do not require a degree for any NCM position.

Don't worry about that. Many trades have "recommended" degrees, but they will still take people with a recognized degree in presumably anything [assuming you meet the other qualifications and there are no other suitable candidates with the recommended degree]. What trade did you want to apply for?

On another note, To what extent will my degree put me ahead of those other NCM hopefuls who hold just a highschool diploma? I will be applying for infantry.

Really? I'd love to know the context of that quote...very bizzare. But yeah, I understand the point you make that no matter how perfect one seems there will always be something to find that can tarnish their record when presented the right way.

Thank you both for the background. Still though, I am not necessarily convinced...the only thing that eats away at me is how he called the US his home. I mean I want the leader of our country to be a proud Canadian, regardless of credentials and qualifications. Anyways, I agree that the ad...

Well I mean it seems like Harper at least doesn't believe there is anyone else who will pose a serious threat to his party, if you refer back to the first post. Myself I thought that kind of bold for him to say that, but I mean I guess it is true right? However you make a good point, I couldn't...

You speak as if you could never be an Int O...why? You have a suitable degree for it, at a Master's degree level even. Although it is oversubscribed for a couple years, you could still join up as an NCM [they like people from the Combat Arms] and then transfer to Int O [although this poses it's...

Fair enough...they are actually waiting to see if they can even hire any more positions because apparently since they are one of the bigger reserve units they also face the most cuts [The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada]. Also, the recruiter is only in the office on Wedsnesdays, and...

Well for myself the unit I contacted said they will know by April 1st LATEST, but I can understand about other situations.

Don't worry about it, I am also waiting to see if the infantry reserve in my unit is hiring and they find out April 1st as well so I know how you feel.

You know that the fiscal year starts April 1, yet you decided to ask whether or not these occupations will open up on March 29th? Come on. You have to wait a couple days like everyone else.

I doubt it matters what year the practice test is...as the practice test would never have any questions on it that you will find on the CFAT. The practice test is there to provide you with a reference as to what you may find on the CFAT. So I am willing to put it out there and assume that since...

I got the training your body to take in more protein directly from bodybuilding.com. And I already admitted my references were shady, and quite frankly as a student with a ridiculous amount of work right now I did not plan to do a mini research project on this, simply searched for what I looked...

Yes, by saying you are 5"7, 170 pounds I can clearly determine you are not a big bodybuilder. I am not saying you're fat, skinny, normal, I am saying you're not a big bodybuilder. I also get this from the fact that you said you are 170 and still cutting fat. Maybe at 170 muscle you could be...
