Well, I guess it is a moot point for me now, I get the call today and accepted an offer. All in all, I sure cannot complain about a thing. I submitted my application on October 27, my medical had to go to Ottawa and there was the Xmas break in there. So all things considered, my file was...

Yup, most definitely have to obtain pardons for any convictions. This should be done anyway....by everyone out there. Post 911 did a few things behind the scenes such as tighening up security. For instance, Homeland Security is toughening up the rules as we go along. In a couple years, don't be...

Great share! Most of us bumble around, while growing up, doing some crazy crap. Experimenting, testing the limits etc. I myself am certainly one of those. Luckily, nobody got hurt and I was able to turn things around. Sounds like like you have too. My experience shows me that I have to be honest...

I was told on Jan 4 that there were 11 positions left. I called my MCC this Tuesday (jan 12), who told me that there were now 6 positions left. I was told that my file was complete and ready to be reviewed for merit listing. I have not heard a thing yet......tick tock!!!

For one, I think you saved up tp 30 days of process time by your medical not going to Ottawa, that is a good thing. The way I understand it is that if you are merit listed, and there are positions open in your trade, they must have a certain amount of files in the same position to select from...

Katw, surely that has to be a record.......from CFAT to job offer....in one month!!!!! And that even includes the Xmas break.....Outstanding!!!!

I love the Suunto X10 but 500 bux is a bit steep. 100M WR so can go into water no probs, GPS and all the bells and whistles. I'd like to find a comparable watch in a less expensive brand.

I can relate...never enough sleep. I think my problem started 6 years ago while undergoing chemotherapy. That stuff messed up a few things, including giving me tinnitus and causing insomnia, both normal side effects. I was prescribed zopiclone for the insomnia and was told that it is non habit...

I work as a calltaker/dispatcher in a 911 center and to be sure, there are policies regarding all emergencies. For us, we dispatch Police and Fire at the municipal level and EHS handles ambulance dispatch at another location, at a provincial level. The 911 system is also run by the Province. All...

Thanks folks....Alex, you must be excited, the countdown is on brother! Hmmm, yeah there is that "merit list" I keep hearing about, I'm now thinking that this is the stage I'm at, waiting to be merit listed, makes sense. I did get the medical back from RMO a few weeks back, it was all confirmed...

Call me anxious but.....I'm just curious about this stage of the game. I believe I am in the stage where my file is in a sort of "green light" position, that is, the medical, interviewing, record checks...the whole shooting match is good to go. There are a unknown number of positions open in my...

My experience so far in this process has shown me at least 3 levels of identifying "numbers of positions available". The first was on the website where it indicated that there were positions "In Demand" which would indicate openings. The second was in the recruiting office with a recruiter who...

Perfect....thanks Erik. Can someone confirm that that would be for a single person and that a married one (with dependents) wouldn't be paying the Quarters or Rations fees?

It's funny, these Casio G-Shock watches, for around 100 bux are really quite amazing when you think about what they do. Lots of bang for the buck. I have seen some of these MTM Special Ops watches and alike for 2 grand that don't do nearly as much as the Casios. Can this be? Is it a case of "you...

Damn, was I let down when after using my spanking new Luminox Men's EVO Navy Seal Watch twice, in a swimming pool only, it showed condensation on the inside of the crystal. I bought it online (mistake) and they tell me to send it to a Luminox service center in the US. ARGGGHHHH! I am a scuba...

Alright.....all that said, back to the first post and question. How much do we clear  per pay while at BMQ. I'd like to get a ballpark figure....married guy with 2 dependents. Any current St. Jean attendees care to answer?

Hey Zach, I know what you are going through. My son was on a couple such meds when he applied (4 years ago). He was also told that he could not be on meds and would need a doctor's letter stating that he wasn't on any. One of them, if I recall was the zit medication (forgot what it is called)...

Anybody scheduled for Feb/March yet? I'm told I will likely be in that timeframe. Apparently inches from being merit listed here.
