    Previous drug use question 2002 - 2018 [Merged]

    Once I got in it took maybe half an hour, and this was with another person doing it at the same time.  Just make sure you mention that you are taking a break from work, just to see if there on time.  I told them I would have to go back to school for class and they got me in there as soon as...

    Liberals neglected army...

    Sounds easy enough, but when your 18 your still definitly gunna piss some of it away.  On top of that, you'd have to find a school close to home because tuition plus residence fees or house rental fees are ridiculous.  I'm barely scrapping by this year, and I live at home.  Next year will be...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    Actually, that CIA Factbook is a GREAT source for projects and information on different countries, especially because its updated every year.. It you can join the reserves at age 16, technically that is the minimum age to join the military, so the site is accurate.

    So should all us army folk have CadPat now?

    My buddy who is in 32 brigade, 25th Service asked about people getting CADPAT at BMQ and was told that no one will be getting the old OD now, not even on basic, just straight to CADPAT. I have no idea how it works on a unit to unit level though. I dont really see a big difference with CADPAT...

    Direct Entry Officer (DEO) questions [Merged]

    RGO, I have been through the 2 hour officer interview, although it was for RMC, I'm sure it was along the same lines. Since my interview was for pilot, I had a Lt. or Captian who flew Hercs give me the interview, as well as a person who just sat in the corner and observed the interview.  I...

    will i make it for the summer?

    Its a month until BMQ and I call my unit almost once a week, and they tell me I‘m good to go, but still haven‘t called to hire me, I‘m getting worried but I feel annoying calling so much. I‘ve found and been able to clear up mistakes in my application by calling, so just call and check up...

    References Superthread [Merged]

    Officers have different reference forms, or at least I did from my RMC references to my reserve references. The officer one was much more detailed compared to the reserve one. I used my teacher and my old hockey coach.

    Running: Training, Problems, Techniques, Questions, etc

    Yes, it is the distance in the time as well, thats why I said "I guess its more personal preference". What I was trying to say is, what good is running for say 20-25 minutes if your only running a minimal distance? This is where your preference comes in, if you like doing that, then just give...

    Are you sure about that? I had someone tell me just yesterday that they have seen it and bought it in the LCBO. They even described how it was locked behind a glass case beside the most expensive wine/liqour (I forget which one).

    basic, ways to take it and your record

    BMQ is BMQ, whether on weekends or through the summer. English during the year or at night school still counts as an English class doesn‘t it? You will be accepted for a trade before you go for BMQ. You will then be trained in that trade after you have completed BMQ. Also, you may want to...

    Running: Training, Problems, Techniques, Questions, etc

    I guess its all really personal preference. I find that if I concentrate more on distance, its easier for me to motivate myself because I can tell myself "only 5 more clicks to go". I guess distance seems more solid to me then time, expecially since you could run 10 minutes really fast, or...
