I was in before the deadline I think with a complete interview/application.  one week later I was contacted about doing a prior learning assessment for my prior service.  I haven't received any contact since that point and when I went to the CFRC here it was closed for professional development...

I was reserve Air, spent 15 weeks at CFLRS, then did 6 weeks at LOCC(Ph 3) in Borden then 2 weeks at Ph2 in Winnipeg I made a hard decision at the time to exit the military(VR) for civi work that looked good.  Turns out that was a bad decision and since I've been looking to rejoin. I'll re-do...

Why have you waited so long to file your taxes? From a standpoint of a refund due to you.... You have now given your hard earned money to the government as an interest free loan for 10 years.  From a standpoint of a amount due.... You will now pay an immense amount of EXTRA money in fines...

Give your 100% for yourself at BMQ and then give another 110% to your section mates to make sure they get to 100% too. At the end of the day you might finish a run 10mins ahead of the slower guys, what the staff want to see is how you deal with that, not that you can run 10kms in 40mins.

Not good news if that's the fact.  I'll have to hope that my prior service and interview place me high up on the merit list once I'm there. Good luck to all of you as well.

I'm hoping that it's 10 in your region and not 10 across Canada. :)

Good information to know about selection, I was told by a friend it seemed my app was getting pushed a bit.  They didn't think everything happened quite as fast as it has for me(from complete application to Interview that is).  Getting nervous and excited all the same, the fear of the...

My Common Air phase was 2 weeks in Winnepeg at 1 Wng. History of the Air force mostly and some other stuff.  Gets you equated with some of the interesting things that happen there and with your co-workers that have all entered with you. it was nothing like CAP, but I did hear that the RCAF has...

Congrats guys, you'll love Saint Jean in the fall, fewer bugs, cooler temps and lots of fun!

The Merit list is NOT a First in First out list if I remember right?  You may have been on the list for a year and get bumped by a guy that was listed yesterday.

Medical complete, Interview in August.  Progressing quicker then I expected.

haha, I've seen that before from a few friends but still cracks me up. I don't want to be in the infantry, I'd rather support them. ;-)

Just a quick update, haven't been on here in awhile but receiving an email that my application has been sent to my local recruitment center tickled me pink and brought a smile to my face. It also reminded me that I haven't been here in awhile.

While I was on Basic we had 2 LT recruits on platoon. They were both trained nurses., as in holding RN certs. I believe it happens when either you CFR from certain positions into Officer(which isn't DEO), or you come ready to work in your trade where the trade requires a specific...

The Undergrad in today's society is simply the High School diploma from 30 years ago. The military has to understand that to get people with advanced standing like MBA, MSW, CGA, CA, CMA, CFP, P. Eng, Law ETC, etc. They will need to become much more like their civilian counterparts and wage...

One thing to note. You will take 2 "PT" tests to get in.  Then you will head off to BMQ(BMOQ) where you will do minimum 3 more full Express tests. The very first one will happen in the very first few days of you being there.  It is a Pass the minimum and I don't mean the 9 pushups, yadda...

"Sitting around surfing the internet waiting to be sent on courses." I've heard this a fair amount from guys in.

It's the nature of the training, the staff trains to the average of the platoon during Basic.  If you go there extremely fit, you will lose fitness.  If you are used to going to the gym and working out 4-5 times a week, you'll lose muscle mass.  MOST of the candidates on my platoon lost between...

Pheobe; The other side of this is why do a Under grad and then grad at the same university in the same discipline?  You will be essentially learning the same information from the same professors with the same sight on the topics.

My understanding that Reserve unit recruiting is started when the unit has openings, which can happen at any point in the year.  Budgets come out in April so they usually know more then then any other time in the year what their funding will be. Reserves work differently then regular recruiting...
