    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    I solved it a little bit differently, sometimes you can break it down and make it very very simple.  In this case just add them until you hit 27. "How many soldiers are there in a group of 27 sailors and soldiers if there are four fifths as many sailors as soldiers?" 4 sailors + 5 soldiers =...

    Single Quarters & Rations (R&Q) [MERGED]

    $550 a month and you get a a bed, electricity, hot water, meals cooked for you, a roof.  Where do you go wrong with that.  Where I live that will get you a cardboard box in a alley somewhere.  I thought wow, that's cheap when I saw for the first time myself  ;D Edit: Although I do understand...

    Application Questions

    Check with your local recruitment office on how that stuff works.  Schools have to be recognized by the CF.  Also does the CF have the courses you wish to take?  Something to consider because they can subsidize it for you while you go to school and in return you guarantee the CF time served as...

    Bettering Fitness Standards while Waiting for BMQ

    7km in a hour is pretty slow.  Are you sure you have that right?  I don't know I'm still merit listed myself.  A full marathon is 26 miles and 4 hours long, therefore 6.5 miles per hour is marathon pace.  7km equals 4.35 miles per hour it's hardly a jog.  You do chin ups I'm told also but they...

    Syria Superthread [merged]

    Sadly I think the Status Quo needs to have a significant change.  As it stands I would not be surprised if the war continues on for months even a few years as it has down the same path.  My reasoning for this is you have power on both sides of the fence (USA and Russia) being the two biggest...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    Xtreme: You are just one view, I sadly feel I must disagree with you on a couple points.  If anyone wants information I suggest they ask their recruiter.  There is sworn confidentiality by everyone on this forum who has written the test.  Even if they want to talk about it to help others out...

    2 men hack soldier to death in UK, are then shot and wounded by police

    Hmm.  Just saw the speech of the murderer posted by the dailymail in this thread.  Interesting to note that the video has been highly cropped.  The version I saw was longer with more detail at least a minute long with him saying a lot more and citing extremist verses as part of his...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    My high school days were a long time ago now don't mind my ignorance on high schools of today.  There must be more to this than what was reported.  I remember isolating hydrogen and oxygen from water in my grade 9/10 days and the teacher giving us matches to blow it up.  Using chemicals like she...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    Some thoughts on North Korea I have not notice brought up.  The north has always been up and down with threats and behaving badly.  Lets say for arguments sake, Kim Jung-Un is done with the threats and puts his missiles back into storage and the USA backs off with the missile defense systems...

    15 April 2013 - 2 Explosions at Finish line of Boston Marathon

    "Initially counter-terrorism sources in the city believed that seven devices were planted across the city - but only two detonated." from the article above. I would be very cautious to believe or pass on anything at this point unless it comes from President Obama himself or a official from the...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    Economic, power and technology aside. If China takes one side or the other they are going to anger nations on both sides of the fence.  How does China support the North when the USA supports the south? A war of that scale would make all economic arguments a mute point especially if nuclear...
