Great posts...thanks for the info guys.  Although no one answered my first question.  Is it acceptable to admit that I plan to remain employed in the military as a long term career?  Or is todays Canadian military geared towards giving most of its employees a boost into a non military career.

Is it okay to admit that you are planning to get into the CF as a long term career choice?  (i mean until retirement). Also I know there are a lot of threads about what to wear, but I was thinking of going out and buying a really nice but reasonably priced, suit and some new shiny black shoes...

Thanks for the info Koach.  It is interesting how some recruiting centers have the PDC board while others do not...

I passed the physical, CFAT, security clearance and got all my required documents into the CF (going for Reg Force MP and Infantry)  Now I was told I had to wait for a 'PDA Board' that sits every two weeks.  What do these guys do?  Do they determine who gets to be in the final stages of the...

I hear if you listen to some classical music (Beethoven, Chopin, patchable, Vivaldi are some classic composers) it will make you smart.  I know a number of teachers in my area have their entire class listen to 15 mins to 30 mins of classical music every day, while the kids colour or do some...

What about current punk like good charlotte, sum 41, blink, greenday, rancid, gob, goldfinger.  A lot of those bands are good to listen to during a run.

I agree with the above posters.  Having a longer wait time may be beneficial to weed out those who wake up in the morning with a sudden urge to try something new... without really being fully committed or realizing what exactly the are getting into. Plus when you jump through all those...

I still play Starcraft :Brood war.  I play mostly single player but it is one of my favorite games (and one of my only games that lets me play online with a 56k) I use to be a HUGE AA addict but sadly the new SF patch really slowed down my 56k connection to make it unplayable most of the time...

All of the forms are on the disk.  I printed off the MP forms and was looking at the regular forms on the disk only a few weeks ago.

Doesn't the CF bill you if you do not give 48 hour notice of your cancellation?  Or is it 24 hour notice? I know they bill potential recruits if they do not give enough notice to the Vancouver recruiting center.  My recuriter warned me to give them plenty of time if I need to cancel.

AB00013:  After sending the MP reference packages (really huge documents) to my previous employers way up north I applied to the MP's only four months before I got my degree.  I got a call the very next day telling me they could not process my application further until I showed them proof of...

Good luck man.  The requirements are strict and the MPs have a HUGE number of potential recruits to chose from.  You also have to go to a MPAC (MP assessment Center).  It is one week long and pretty much a job interview (kind of like a shorter version of the Apprentace)  They let you know what...

Yea just show up in whatever you work out in normally.  Saves the time and hassel in changing before the tests.  Shouldn't be a problem.

Good advice...thanks everyone.  I think I will mention that I copied a few pictures off of websites.  Than the last slide of my power point will be a reference of where I found the pictures. My university is strict on not referencing for papers but I never did a power point presentation before...

Use random pictures from the internet and use them in my power point presentation this Tueday? For example I have pictures from cooking websites about pasta, water, some olympic pics etc. I did not provide any credit to the webpages within my presentation.

2 and a half hours?  Oh man sounds like blister hell.  Better make sure to bring an extra pair of gelln' padding.  Probably be th best $30 bucks I ever spent.  ;D

I got a dumb question...what is a BFT???  ???

Doesn't the CF make you wait a few months or years before they hire you after laser surgery?  At least that is what the rule is in most police forces. For example:  The RCMP and the VPD require you to wait six months to a year to ensure the laser surgery was 100% effective and that you will not...

I just did my physical two or three weeks ago.  For the situp part someone did hold my feet down.  Don't worry too much about the physical.  You'll nail it.  I do recommend you work on your grip though. (since forearm exercises are not common) I found buying a few of those little blue hand...

You guys got it all wrong.  It isn't the blade that determines whether you get razor burn... it is the protection you use!  I use to get nasty razor burn if I shaved every day or so.  I tried Mach III, expensive electric shavers, cheap one blade Bic shavers.... and I always got razor burn. So I...
