HMCS Woodstock or HMCS Red Barron??

Wright, What do you mean by the above statement?? Do you mean they just expect you to run as fast as you can, but not necessarily all at the same pace??

It depends on alot of things on your file and if everything is processed. I had my interview on January and did not get my offer till end of April for a July BMQ start. My case was a bit different as they were not hiring for my trade choice till the new fiscal year as well it was not a in demand...

As for the summer bmqs, im sure they are pretty much already filled up. I got my offer in April for BMQ starting July 16th. You will need to wait for your offer before you will know what course you are on, most likely in the fall sometime by the looks of the courses.

I spoke to a child phychologist regarding the impacts to my son while im away in basic. He is only 5yrs old and i have never been apart from him more than a two week period. So 3.5 months in basic is going to be a challenge for all, i am sure. The physchologist recommended keeping all of his...

I use the ingenious for hiking and i imagine they would work well with the issued footwear in the CF. Wondering if anyone knows if recruits get the 3 sock system in basic. Or if i should buy a few more pairs of ingenious to take with me.

Once you have been offered a position and you have sworn in, the CF will pay for transportation to CFLRS including taxi rides getting to airport etc. If you pay for anything out of pocket, they will reimburse upon arrival. At least that is what i have been told. I recieved my plane ticket...

Sorry but by making this statement you have insulted the profession!! Until you have served on a battleship, you have no right making statements about anyone in the Navy "playing battleship".

You should do activities based on what your doctor or physio recommends. Biking and Swimming are the normal recommendations after surgery to get flexibility and strength back. Eventually you should be able to run again on it with little to no problems.

Is your son going into the reserves or reg force, sounds like he could be feeding you some lines or doesnt know anything about what is going on. Basic for reg force is 13weeks plus a week 0 for admin, so total is really 14 weeks. Basic for reserves is usually around 20days or something similar...

About 5 yrs ago when i went on mat leave, i was advised that after my mat leave and parental leave when my husband was transferred with his job that i could not collect regular ei as i had not aquired any work hours between mat/parental leave and the move. calling EI and posing the questions is...

You should do whats in your heart and not worry about the others.

Exactly what i have been trying to say, injuries should not be just left to chance. Best to get them checked out!! Wouldn't you rather know and start recouping than put it aside and make things worse.

So today i became a member of the Canadian Forces, it feels good. My partner was so proud she almost even started crying, it feels good to have some great support backing me thats for sure. My mom even travelled from Kamloops to come see my swearing in ceremony.  Im looking forward to this...

Locking usually indicates cartilege floating around inside the ligament, this can usually be corrected pretty easily with day surgery doing the orthoscopic route, where they insert a camera and a tool to extract through small incisions...easy breezy recovery with physio afterwards. Usually is...

location of pain can be different in everyone, i felt the pain on the outside of the knee and the back, not the middle as it usually states for the acl. you should see a doctor regardless, it is in your best interest.

Definately go see a doctor, i had a similar injury playing softball a few years ago. The emergency doc said it was just a mcl sprain...found out a few months later that the reason my knee kept giving way was because my ACL was torn 98% off.  The ACL is the stability ligament in the knee...dont...

3 hours isnt to far off, i was told to be there at 9am on the 28th and my guests are to arrive at 11am.

I am swearing in the same day in vancouver, not sure what time you are being sworn in, but they do usually try to schedule more than one person and do a group from what i hear. Not usually as big as 100 though, id probably say its safe to say between 10 - 20. You can call your file manager and...

running 5kms in 30mins is different than over 15mins for 2.4kms. It depends on your speed. i can run faster for shorter distances than longer ones...because i have to pace myself. my partner runs 10kms in an hour...but can run 5kms in less than 30mins. So that theory is incorrect in my books. As...
