    The Shaving Superthread- All You Want and More....

    Ditto to what Kat said. I use both straight razors and safety razors and the key is very little pressure, let the edge do the work. Make sure you have a good shave soap/cream, not the foam Gillette crap, but one that is applied with a shave brush. Hot water opens the pores and work with the...

    At this point probably whenever they have openings on BMQ's and spots to fill someone will be selected. The selection dates for the next FY will probably be late February.

    Selection Dates 2013-2018

    Your CFAT score determines whether or not you receive a medical and interview. If you do not pass a certain threshold score on the CFAT you may be waiting for a long time.

    It seems to be taking too long..

    Contact them, waiting usually isn't a good course of action. The only reason I got my job offer was I called. They have had the offer since the beginning of Janurary and somehow it was "forgotten"

    BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

    I did the force test in September with a reserve unit. To be honest it was quite easy. The most out of shape and slow person in the whole group of recruits was able to finish everything with more the half of the allotted time remaining. I am not some allstar athlete or fitness nut either, If you...

    Life as an Infantry Soldier?

    On going and I think the next firm NCM selection date is Jan 19.  Someone was selected as an Infmn right before the holidays, and I believe that at this time of year if there is space you will be picked up regardless of what the hard selection dates are.

    Applying ASAP or later (reserves) ?

    I don't think they are open until the new year, and yes your first step per forces.ca should be to contact the reserve units which you wish to join.

    Applying ASAP or later (reserves) ?

    Apply now. Well after the CFRC's reopen for the holiday's. Many reserve units begin hiring for the new fiscal year in February/March and starting the process now would mean that assuming you get through the process smoothly you could do your training starting in April after exams.

    CFRC Closed until Jan 12th Question

    No, if they made the offer over then phone with the specific dates for everything you should not worry. When they made my first offer they gave me all the details over the phone, and then said that everything he said on the phone he would email me. So I would be willing to be you will very...

    Mathematics refresher for Aerospace Control Op and Avionics Tech

    I think if you make it to BMQ you should focus solely on the work you have for BMQ, not other work...My plan wouldn't be to start any school work outside the military until you are out of the training system and have gotten a feel for life in the army..

    Please Help - Recruiting Process and Going Back to School

    Going back to school won't affect your chance. I am currently in university and in the process. If they offer you a position mid semester you can turn it down, and explain to them why or you can drop out of school. The choice is yours. But realistically if you are in the midst of the process now...

    Started an application, on hold until next year

    I will be honest with you, missing the Grade 12 math and not having the 75% overall average will be the death of your ROTP application. I applied when I was in second year of university and was doing pretty well. I was declined from ROTP because of my higschool marks. My overall average in Gr...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    I went the ROTP route first, and was declined because of my academic suitability based on the above. After I was declined I switched to the NCM route. Should have been clearer in my first and subsequent post's.
