I wouldn‘t say "expecting", but I just finished my interview last week, and am updating my PT test tomorrow morning. I‘m really hoping to hear something in April. You‘re talking about regular force right?

My friends have been doing a radio show at UVIC for the last 5 years or so, Skanksters Paradise, evry Saturday afternoon. Obviously, its a Ska show, but anyway if you like Ska you can tune in to it over the internet, the station ID is CFUV. Also, they promote a lot of shows locally around...

Axl Rose is another prime example of a rockstar turned moron. However, not only is Appetite For Destruction, their best album, it is (debateably) the best rock and roll album of all time. They were revolutionary. Before Appetite, I thought Def Leopard was hard rock, and so did a lot of other...

Liam and Noel Gallagher were a pair of obnoxious losers. Particularly the younger one Liam. He pulled some "rockstar" type stunts that went over extremely badly. One night when he was supposed to perform (he was the lead singer) he showed up too drunk to be on stage. The show was being...

How are you going to put in all those catagories and not include punk or ska? Anyway, I grew up during the glory days of "alternative" rock, otherwise known as GRUNGE. Naturally it makes me want to cry when I hear people say that bands like Evanesence or Linkin Park are where its at now...

You don‘t find out where you are on the merit list. You have to guess. For example, they told me I did very well on all my testing. I had a good interview, they are recommending me as suitable for training, but that they found weakness in 2 specific areas (they told me what they were) I‘m...

I see, that‘s definately the gear used by the SF in Americas Army. As for the Fallshirmjager, I didn‘t really research it myself, but one of our squad said he had come across a unit of German paratroopers during his research, who had marshal powers in the field. That meant they could arrest...

I just finished my interview also. They may have pointed out to you that "recommending" you for training means only so much. There is a merit list that you are placed on, and the only way you would not be recommended at the CFRC level if if you scored 2 points or less on the merit scale. It‘s...

I‘m not a reservist, but I‘d play. [email protected] I have 38 honour, and had 40 on another prior to the Special Forces expansion. Special forces is way cooler than the original, you can mod your rifle with bipod, silencers, and grenade launchers, or optical sight, and it goes full auto...

. So you‘re in week 3 and there is time to get online? Is there Internet available to all recruits? Or just those who bring their own comp? So how much time do you "really" get for personal time? Is it safe to say that if you use your time wisely that you should be able to sleep most of the...

The web site says BMO for 031 takes 16 weeks. Is that what you meantm by BIQ?

So my question is, if you have to salute a cadet officer because he is affiliated with the military, do you have to salute the ranger officers? Plus I‘d like to add, I don‘t see the big deal in saluting a cadet officer "if" he holds an actual commision. Officers in the CAF are saluted, end of...

No, if you‘re going to require more than 2 reference letters to cover the 5 years, you don‘t put 2 people on the same letter. Ask your recruiter for a third or fourth form letter, or just photocopy the ones you have.

Plus it will not speed up the process 1 bit to hand in part of your paper work. Your file sits in a file cabinet until you complete whatever requirements have been put before you. Once you hand everything in, they will schedual you for the next phase, whatever that may be. And its two...

When I was in sea cadets in the early 90‘s, they used to take us to the shooting range for a day every couple of months or so. I don‘t recall what model of rifle it was, but they looked like they were at least 50-60 years old. I was 13 and 14 while I was a cadet. I quit only because I had to...

Im pretty sure I just said that

You think that if every country in the world had nuclear weapons it would be impossible to fight a war? You think it would be futile to go to war with a country that develops nuclear weapons, who really has no business having them? I have to disagree. What makes you think that the world is...

It is unlikely that a conditional discharge will negatively affect you application, if you have been free of obligation to the courts for at least 6 months. I would say yes its a good idea to include a written or verbal statement in regards to your conditional discharge. However, you should...

Actually conditional discharges do appear on your criminal record, for a period of 3 years from the date of the sentencing. It is there to be considered in the event you break the law in those 3 years. If you were found not guilty, then there would be no need for a conditional discharge. A...

If you were granted a conditional discharge and you tell the CFRC, they will most likely reply "That‘s fine" or "That doesn‘t matter", or some other dismissive statement, because a conditional discharge is not a criminal conviction. It will have no bearing on your application. They may give...
