    20 meter Beep Test -Merged

    There are different versions. Schools, police services and other NATO militaries do not necessarily use the same one as the CF. I know in High School I did one where I could speed walk pretty much to level 9, can't do that with the CF one.

    Help, I may be stuck...

    AFAIK, MP QL3 is conducted only at the CFMPA in Borden. Could be the Driver Wheeled course that he went to Gagetown for, as it is required before QL3 (or at least was). Someone with more knowledge to clarify will hopefully come along.

    Which brings us to the question: Why doesnt Danner supply the CF with boots?

    Expres Hand Grip Test

    FORCE test is still in trial phase, CF EXPRES is anticipated to be used until 01 JAN 2014. Handgrip is pretty hard to fail so unless you spent a life in a dark basement playing World Of Warcraft, or have had multiple previous injuries to your hands or wrists, then it may just be your own...

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    In exactly 30 days of field time, I went through 2 and a half. Many other CF members and CIC call bullshit and I just redirect them here. Garbage.

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    As embarrasing as it may be I was one of those in my first bought with RegF BMQ. Then injury happened and I released, only to go back to reserves so that was at I knew they would not let me in unless I was capable. Fast forward nearly 2yrs and here I am.

    "America does not need the Air Force" - does Canada?

    Yes. I believe helicopters should return to the Canadian Army, fighters remain in RCAF hands, and nautical air systems (UAVs, SeaKing or Sea-whatever) be in the hands of RCN. Eventually, we should expand to have a carrier group and have carrier launch/jump jets branded as RCN while standard...

    Are personal circumstances taken in to consideration when being assigned a base?

    Honestly though, if you expect to join with special circumstances, find another employer. However of you have TI and luck is just not in your favour, then I have no problem with CF making accommodations - TO A LIMIT. At no time should anyone of the Regular Force be deemed non-deployable except...

    Recruits of the last half decade: Fatter, dumber and less motivated than before.

    When I work for Alberta Health Services, throwing open the Calgary SUN and showing people " this is what we do " REF: flood assistance makes me giddy and always seems to get the hot young nurses wrapped around my fingerĀ  ;D

    Medical Assistant - Reserve

    Medical Assistants are more like Health Care Aides, not quite nurses not quite paramedics.

    Recruits of the last half decade: Fatter, dumber and less motivated than before.

    I do wish to see more media exposure for the CF. Despite budget cuts, there should be a steady stream of TV and Radio commericials, ads in newspapers, that tell our beautiful and vast nation about who we are, what we do, and that we DO want the best and the brightest.

    MS Office vs OpenOffice for the CAF & DND (From: The Defence Budget)

    I worked in a department within an organisation that utilised Open Source systems and actually encourage their usage, despite the rest of the org using MS Suite. Never had any issues, compatibility was seamless as long as you saved the docs as .doc .ppt .xls etc. However, I would see how in...

    Recruits of the last half decade: Fatter, dumber and less motivated than before.

    No idea where you've been working. When I was 16 doing my Millwright apprenticeship through a high school co-op programme, I was earning the % of a journeyman's wage, non-union, and still making $22/hr. Over the next 3 years I jumped from 22-36 and once I was red seal certified I could have gone...

    Further explanation needed of DAOD 5019

    Some come close to going over the line. I suppose it depends on one's definition of romantic. Not that I care as you said, it falls under the "in greeting and farewell"
