Big suprise there. ::)

So your PSO wrote that he/she does not support? If that is the case, I still would not be overly worried. The PSOs have a loooong history of not supporting applications based on their complete misunderstanding of the trade and it's needs.  Yours truly had a "recommended with reservations"  by...

The hardest part of a COTP process with a COC that doesn't support you, is getting it to the PSO in the first place. If at this point it hasn't "disappeared" then it is out of your COCs influence. When it comes to the Sar Tech COTP, your "paper side" of your application is only worth 25% of...

oli77, Currently you can only apply to the Sar Tech trade if you are a current serving member of the Reg Force. There was a 5 year trial where they hired paramedic/firefighter qualified civilians "off the street" but that has been put aside indefinitely. At this point, the trade has a surplus...

The average Sar Tech is in their 30's. There have been successful candidates well into their 40's. So no, you are not to old.

Not entirely true. Sar Techs and MP's were authorized to wear beret's in 1a...I am not sure about the "blue" beret issue. I am not sure how the MPs feel about this, but the Sar Tech trade feels like it got kicked in the face in the name of uniformity. To us, this policy is the same as asking...

I am not sure what your motivation is, but if you are already considering your release date perhaps the military is not the best path. Just a thought, my apologies if I am wrong.

Bit of topic but neither would CBC.

Depends what your goals are. In my opinion this is the way to train. www.crossfitendurance.com

Well it's official, RCAF has decreed no more berets in 1A's (other dress?). Good bye orange beret  :salute: ....hello blue wallet. Sigh.

You should come check out an Air Force parade...It'll make you realize your probably not all that bad at it!    >:D

Supply Techs allow have the unique opportunity to become parachute riggers. Invloves a lot of parachute packing/rigging but they also learn to lawndart out of planes!

Depends on the year. Historically it's been around end October but they have extended it well past Christmas on occasions. Your best bet is to have it in by end summer.

I like it!  ;D

Not sure how it is these days, but when I went through, Basic(BMQ), was a walk in the park compared to Battle School...I would assume not much has changed.

Video of the days events. Enjoy.  :cdn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T101YB9Qjh8&feature=youtu.be

Today marks the one year anniversary of Sgt Janick Gilberts death. Sar Techs  from 424 Sqn Trenton performed two jumps dedicated to the memory of a good freind. RIP Janick Rescue.

Fair enough. The reason for my confusion.

I looked through all the posts. I don't see where anyone insulted your father or family...did I miss it? I do however, see experienced military members not pussy footing around and letting you know how it is. Hopefully you are looking forward to a challenge, because I would predict, (if you...

Allright, all sarcasm aside. Arrogance will get you eaten alive in the military, no matter how much you can bench or what your background is. You are not presenting yourself as someone any of us want to(or could) see as an officer in the CF. Work on your attitude. Anything is possible. Good Luck
