I wasn't even aware you COULD fail the CFAT.  Sounds like you might want to go online and brush up on your math and English.  The spatial stuff is pretty hard to study for.

SW Ontario is more humic cold.  N Ontario is more of a dry, frostbite cold.  I lived in Maple Island (by Parry Sound) for a bit,and, honestly, it was quite nice.  Minus 35 isn't so bad when you don't have a brutal lake wind blowing chill through you. Cold, though, is relative.  I lived in B.C...

It has also been a very mild winter. Anyhow, since when did this turn into a weather competition thread?  I don't recall saying "London is the coldest place in Canada" or anything to that effect.  All I was saying is that the cold is the least of my worries.  Are there colder locales?  Sure. ...

London is really, really cold.  25 below with wind chill is pretty common.  Anyhow,  I'm more worried about the sleep deprivation. Terry, I lived in BC for 4 years.  The climate there is so much nicer. 

I'm from SW Ontario.  Thanks for the warning, but minus 25 is the norm, here.  Bring on the cold.

OS Devon Stinchcombe, NE Tech (C) at your service.  I'll be the tallish guy with dark hair.  Unfortunately, I'll be minus my prized beard.  I'm flying in, so I may see some of you at the airport.

If you can pass the entrance medical for your trade and pass the Expres, I doubt you'd not do fine.

So much anger.  Just apply.  You'll either get a call or you won't. Questions can be answered without rage-mode engaged.

Hmm, I need to look into that, Terry.  Here I've been saying the RC made a mistake when, really, I might just need to clean the wax from my ears.  I look forward to meeting you and the others in QC.  Hopefully it will be a nice March and not like the hellish March months we get here in S...

The RC obviously made an error either on the fly out or bmq date.  I'm guessing my flight date is wrong, since another person was given March 17 as their bmq date.  I'll find out for sure when I swear in.

We have a winner.  Well played, sir.

I think what he means is "does it matter?"  BMQ is BMQ.  Whether you go for ten or thirty weeks, you're on the CF clock.  Sure, one would like to know before hand, but, ultimately, you join and your ass belongs to The Queen.  :cdn:

All I know is I'm a crack shot and my Country needs me.  See you at bmq and I've got your back.  I think if we make bmq a team deal, we win.

I was actually wondering why 12 days myself.  I was under the impression that you got a few days or so to get your bearings at CFLRS, but I'd never heard of anyone having that many days between flying out and course start.  It's possible the person I talked to at the RC made a mistake on the fly...

Just got off the phone with rc.  Swear in Feb 17 and fly out Mar 5!  See you there, Sharp. :cdn:

I've been given a BMQ date of March 17.  No swearing in date as of yet.  NE Tech(C).
