Ok, I was just sworn into 3 Int Coy in Halifax. So, I'll be in the reserves and going to school working towards a Commerce degree. Now, I know I am private recruit right now. Anyways, a lot of people have been saying "Why didn't you join as an Officer if you are going for a degree?" And I say "I...

Well, tonight I was sworn into 3 Int Coy in Halifax. This forum has been a terrific help from the beginning. The FAQs, the people, everything. It definitely made the recruiting process, and waiting game easier and it helped me to know more about what I will be doing before I even started. I'll...

I am going to be doing the fall BMQ in Halifax (I am joining 3 Int Company), in addition I will also be going to Saint Mary's full time. However I still live at home and will be planning to quit my current civvy job. I am pretty sure if it's just reserves and school I can handle it. We'll see...

Yeah, it's weird. I called the Recruiting Centre and they said everything came back a ok, and my file was now off to the unit. So I called the unit and they said they dont have it, but the unit recruiter said he would contact the recruiting centre and call me back. He called me back and said...

Just wondering if anyone knows how long this takes (ballpark). I called the recruiting centre and they said this was the last thing they were waiting on for my file and it would be completed by the 26th of August. Now, I didn't really expect to be done then as I have had the advice of many...

Hey, I haven't been sworn in yet (should be soon) but I am curious to know about some potential benefits I have been hearing about. A friend of mine who is in the MP has mentioned that you get 20% or (or something like that) off at McDonalds and other fast food places and other stores have...

I too first became interested in the reserves because of this program.. And I have heard of the rumor of it shutting down. I dont think I will quit because of it being discontinued but I cant help but feel cheated. All these recruiters that came to school, or public events, hockey games, talked...

A guy I know who just started BMQ this summer I belive was issued Cadpat. He was joining the PLF in Halifax.

I too am curious as to why you'd want to be in the CF? And as for the draft, the US always has a draft list managed by the SSS (selective service system) http://www.sss.gov/. It's the draft lottery that hasn't been used since Vietnam. http://people.howstuffworks.com/us-draft.htm has lots of...

It really wasn't all that bad. I despise math, but I did fine on it from my perspective. Again, they don't give scores but I felt fairly good coming out of it.

I can't speak for all of Canada, and I can't speak for all teens, but I feel fairly confident in saying your view of Canadian kids/teens is not very accurate. I am 18 years old, and just graduated from Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, it is mandatory to take...

Whoa, this is not related to the current thread, but they are discontinuing the University money? Any idea when this officially will take effect. I am joining the reserves and while getting up to $2000 for my tuition isn't the only reason I am joining, it was a deciding factor. Or were you...

Yeah they have those Glo Promotion billboards advertising positions outside Winsor/Willow park.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I was applying for the reserve unit, so you don‘t need prior experience. They just "take people off the street" as she put it during our meeting :p

I am applying for the 3 Intelligence Company in Halifax.. While I am not for certain what their mandate is, from what I have been reading and what the recruiter has told me is that their job is to make sure other units have the proper information when in combat. Intelligence is also trained in...
