Some of my experiences at the CFRC mirror that of CelticGirl as well. When I was doing my research for CF trades, I found a lot of compatibility with a few NCM positions and one Officer position. When I went into the CFRC to talk about it, they encouraged me to apply as an officer, and even...

Congratulations my friend! It's great to read stories that show the smooth flow of operations at the CFRC's. I have nothing but positive things to say about the CFRC in Ottawa as well. I also applaud your first "tour" at the Timmies :) That would have been quite the experience. Good luck in the...

Just trying to understand - you did the medical and the interview and they told you that you didn't pass them? Did you ask them why you failed the medical? Also, is this for Reg or Reserve? I am just as curious as you as to what this interview could be :) Keep us posted. EDIT: sorry, just...

The irony. :)

LOL, this is so spot on. It's part of the application process - the waiting and it's what makes those phone calls all the more exciting! Good luck my friend.

The best advice anyone gave me when applying included the following: 1) Visit the www.forces.ca website (which includes an online chat feature); 2) Talk to the local CFRC; 3) Search the forums because chances are, that your questions have already been answered (numerous times). In response to...

Curious as to how you could tell if the poster is probably on the merit list from what he has said so far on this forum.  ???

Thanks for your tips. They are very much appreciated. However, with this particular point I have quoted above, there is a huge thread in this forum (IIRC the no excuse (bmq tips) thread), about not cutting corners with a personal toiletry kit. :-\ However, your advice here is that it is okay to...

My condolonces to the family and loved ones. What better way to go than doing what you love, making a difference in this world and protecting the freedoms and rights of Canadians. RIP :cdn:

According to this entry:

I am yet another potential member of the CF family who is taking steps to be a competent swimmer before training. It is definitely embarrassing because I am competitive by nature but being in a pool where everyone is swimming and I am struggling to tread water is a blow to the ego :) But it's a...

If people haven't taken any tests in a long time, it helps to refresh math and spatial abilities skills. Personally what I did was, head out to the local library and get as many aptitude testing books as I could get my hands on. The ASVAB books also help, although the US Armed Services aptitude...

If you don't want people to get on your case for asking questions that have been answered many times before, use the SEARCH feature first. I did and found this post http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/73740.0.html but next time, you shouldn't expect others to do the work for you  >:D

Congratulations. Hope it pans out well for you. Time to wait and be patient and remain positive.  8)

For me, it was the pre-sec and being told at the CFRC, that it could take up to two years to clear.  :o Not that I didn't understand the need for a pre-sec but the thought of having to wait two years was a little discouraging. However, it was cleared in just two months! I just had to stay...

My first post here. Just wanted to express my appreciation for this forum and for all the useful information I have gathered from here, which helped me understand so much about the CF, the C&E branch and the application process.  Recruiting Center: CFRC Ottawa Regular/Reserves: Regular...
