I like Vern, she 's a Troll killer  :threat: They usually deserve the hit.

Sorry for  my :highjack: but If there is no civilian jobs that you are passionated about, or no civilian job in which your career is well engaged, why not switching for a full time career in the regular forces, specially if the trade of main interest is only offered by the regular forces...

All of you, older recruits doing BM(O)Q or done with it, are a great inspiration for us, older applicants. Best Wishes to all of you and have a great Holiday season.

Wow, I have seen chem students doing stupid stuffs, but this one blows my mind! I've learned something new about citric acid (you find a lot of it in lemon), I have 500 g of it on my lab shelve. Sweet, I am going to save on chewing gums.

I second the last paragraph amendment. :cheers:

Stay fit, keep focus and don't give up. Keep positive and keep your finger cross. Anyway, looking at other options is never a bad idea but I hope you'll get where you would like to go.

The thickness of my cornea is borderline to operate with the LASIK technique using the equipments of the surgeon I went see, another company offer me the LASIK because they have a new LASIK machine that allows to work with thinner cornea. However, I am going to play safe, despite PRK is more...

With my luck, I guess it is too late to be sent in the next boot camp made of similar recruits, I wonder if my cardiovascular system could survive anyway.

In my case, the PRK suggestion was given at a Laser Surgery Clinic by the surgeon himself and the Lasik suggestion was given by an optometrist affiliated to a Laser Eye Surgery Clinic on the claim that they use the state of the art Lasik equipments. An experienced surgeon but old school that...

Hi All, I went shopping for laser eye surgery. Following my corneas thickness measurement  by ultra sound, the optometrist told me that I qualified for LASIK without problem and he sent my results to his affiliated laser eye surgery company. However, the surgeon of another company told me that...

Finally I'll will not be part of the NAVRES BMOQ summer 2010 as I can only get the PRK surgery and the earliest is the 6Th of January. Cheers

Good game, Hope the party is starting in Montreal ! :cheers:

I might, but it is unlikely  :crybaby: I don't think I'll get my laser eye surgery before Christmas holidays, and I have to wait at least 3 months following the surgery before my application is re-opened. Anyway, it is awesome if you can jump in the next summer BMOQ and being done with it...

Hi jpike87, Call first the reserve unit of interest and ask them if the trade you are looking for is opened for new candidates. Many units hold an information session once a week in the evening for prospective reservists. You probalby checked already but you can get basic informations on the...

One of several technologies under development to find landmines. I don't know if it is a reasonable one. From BBC news: "Bacteria which glow green in the presence of explosives could provide a cheap and safe way to find hidden landmines, Edinburgh scientists claim. The bugs can be mixed into a...

It's a keeper, Thumbs-up !

Hey Steve, it 's good to hear from you. How is it going in your new element (NAVY) and being back on the West Coast? Cheers,

I agree with the positive reinforcement. However, each academic term I teach to students who understand only by the stick methodology (negative reinforcements). Some are quick to realise that I also give carrot (positive reinforcements) when they get things done. Don't tell them, but they also...

Si tu es decidé, appliques au plutôt car le processus peut prendre du temps. Demandes moi pas combien de temps car ca dépend de nombreux facteurs (tu trouveras de nombreux exemples du côté anglais du présent forum). D'après moi, cela évitera aussi que ton dossier se retrouve à la fin d'une liste...

Almost one year delay for me too due to my vision (V4). I had to secure enough money for the laser eye surgery but it is done now. I'll meet the surgeon in two weeks for the first assessment, the wait still goes on...but that is OK with me. It gives me more time to get fit and to find a strategy...
