Just called the rc to see if there was an update to my file. PLAR has been approved for basic bypass. Background check is complete and positive. Now just waiting for my Reliability Screening to come back. Now I await to be merit listed. Next MSE selection date is 10 Aug with 37 spots open...

Your not to old. When I was in basic there was a guy there who was 52 years old. As long as you can keep up and complete the required trades training up to the CF's standards then you should have no issues. As for the ethnicity issue, DND is an equal opportunity employer and does not...

While the person creating this petition has the right mind set, I don't think  the way of execution is on track. Like you said before, who pays for all these courses we have to then take to be able to carry concealed or open carry? The CF would then have to pay for this, and in turn affect the...

No, the CF will NOT consider you for a trade that has specific medical requirements that you do not meet. IE, V4 vision, if the trade requires that then that is what your vision standard must be. Nothing else comes into play for your medical except your medical. No exceptions.

Are you two married?? Or just engaged and such? If Married, "don't quote me on this" but I don't believe he will have to pay R&Q BUT Like I said, don't quote me on that. If a member is entitled to separation expense then they do not pay usually. I don't mean to sound rude, but these are...

Its 8 months. If you cant financially support yourselves on the income you are going to make then maybe the military isn't for you guys. Could you not get a job and then use that income to pay for the apartment and such?  Its only 8 months. I paid for an apartment and a car loan while in basic...

Your hubby will be asked about drug use, what and when during his application process. He will also be asked about it in detail when he does his interview. It is up to the recruiters doing his file as to what the outcome will be.

OJT will be a posting most likely to a base. That base is where he will be posted, and moved at the publics expense. You can then get a PMQ and move in with him. As for during the ql3 course he will be living in shacks and you cannot move in with him. Your best bet would be to move to the...

Great news Colta. Glad things are moving again for you. Just a short stones throw away and you should be course loaded for a BMQ and off on your way!

Most contracts for non spec/education related trades are 3 years. Some trades now have a VIE or BE (Variable engagement or basic engagement)  of 4-5 years. If you want the exact time frame for engagement in a certain trade, I would contact your RC and ask them the questions you have. But that...

Hey there, congrats on making the first step to apply to the CF. I wouldn't worry to much about who they contact. They are basically using the info to confirm you were employed with that company basically for background verification. As long as you can prove you worked there, even if they...

Anyone happen to know the selection dates for MSE OP?

I would check your tracking number and if signature was required you should be able to see who signed for the forms. Provide that info to the RC and tell them that so and so signed for the forms. They can then go to that person to find out where they are. If they press the issue that you have to...

Congrats on your dates and enrollment. Just print out a copy of the email that states your timings and bring it with you to your kitting appointment. Show up when the time says, preferably 10 minutes early as there may be paperwork to fill out. The recruiters should have handled everything you...

Yup. Still waiting here as well. Nothing back on my PLAR and nothing back from credit and reference check. This will be week 4 since it was sent and week 2 since they have been working on it.

I hear ya. Credit checked, not waiting for results from all of that. Next MSE Course is September so not to worried atm. That's 2 months away, and a lot can happen in 2 months. I still have a great full-time day to day job to keep me occupied, but being a truck driver it gives me lots of time to...

Make a decision, your lifelong career or a trip. You can always call and cancel your trip, Im sure you will pay a fee, but to me is a no brainer. Cancel the trip and plan another once you are on leave from the CF. Your life though

The Shuttle run was a joke too. I was fortunate enough do only do 2 in my career, the rest were all ruck marches, now those are fun!

Hey Colta. Im waiting on my background and screening stuff. I just checked my credit report and DND checked my credit on the 29th. So things are rolling. The sec screening shouldn't take much. Like I said, I held a level 2 for almost 10 years previously so they may be able to re-instate. They...

I called the rc this morning. Finally some movement. My medical came back fine, and my screening had been initiated as of the 25th. Takes up to 10 days he said. So hopefully next week I will know if that's been completed successfully
