Reid you will be considered for that selection as long as your file is complete by Oct/Nov....does anyone know the exact deadline date???? I am hoping to have my file complete for that selection but have run into a problem with my medical that I am waiting to hear back on.  I believe the date...

Spoke with the medic today and apparently was given a 3 for geographical.  He has no clue why as he could not really remember me and I have no idea since I thought I passed with flying colours.  A little background about my medical as I am super puzzled why I was not given a 2 - I have no...

Hey thanks a ton, that made it clear as mud......I think I might actually call in and ask to speak with the medic directly because my eye sight was not perfect but should be a level 2, level 3 at the absoulute worst(I don't wear glasses nor need them), he said my hearing was fine, I do not need...

Butters, the PT test does not have to be complete before the interview.  DE Officers have been offered a contract without having completed their physical.  Not sure what is up with my medical though so the Captain said we will wait until my medical comes back to redo my PT. To any medics out...

Thanks for the encouraging words in regard to waiting......THis medical issue is going to drive me nuts, I think the medic must have wrote in his recommendation he sees me as being medically unfit or something.  This makes no sense to me since he told me directly there will not be any...

Well I had my interview this morning and was told i am a competitive candidate for DEO in Logistics.  However the Captain said that he saw a number on my medical file that went out that may cause a problem.  So now there may be something wrong with my medical that may cause problems.....no clue...

Here is some info on VO2 Max The value you are given by the test administrator will be in one of two forms. The first is called your absolute VO2 max. This value will be in liters/min and will probably be between 3.0 and 6.0 liters/min if you're a man and between 2.5 and 4.5 l/min if your are a...

When calculating relative VO2 Max which is what they do your weight plays a big role in the calculation.  A 5'7 150lb man has a much higher relative VO2 Max than a 6'3 300lb man even if they are in identical shape and can ran the exact same distance in the exact same time

Ok that makes sense since they are all under the canadian forces.  I just had thought for example the air force has more funding so the perks are better...stuff along those lines.  Or the Navy you travel more etc.....  No clue if either point I said is true. On Monday I will have an interview...

What are the pros and cons of being an officer in A.  Air Force B.  Navy C.  Army I could not find any solid information on this.....

Yeah I definetly can see how it depends on the recruiting officer....this would also lead me to believe that some candidates have a pretty big advantage over other candidates depending on their interviewing officer......this may not seem like a big deal but if DEO positions are as competitive as...

Hey man, thanks for clearing that up.  My interview is Monday morning so I am properly preparing myself.  I have about 40-50 pages of notes I have taken off the forums and various websites to help prepare for the interview.  I'll be going over this notes all weekend.  I just wasn't too sure how...

I read somewhere that one of the guys had a close to 3 hour DEO interview.....This leads to my question are DEO Interviews generic across all recruiting centres.  I would naturally say No because my interview has to fit in a 1 hour time slot(I am booked at 9am, and the next officer applicant is...

I think it is around 40.  When I first tested I got a 37 somethin or 38 somethin.....and was told i was not all that far off

That could very well be a problem, that plus the meal.....who knows.  I have been running pretty hard on the treadmill at the gym and think I should not have any problems when I retest.  I will definetly make sure the weight is correct.  I am at a huge disadvantage for measuring relative VO2 Max...

I was under the impression that the interview sheet is only for your own personal use......There is not much room at all to write sentances let alone a paragraph, I will bring mine in to the interview with me anyways along with my resume.  As for your second question what skills or experience do...

Well I can somewhat answer your questions....I love DEO questions haha and there are plenty of them floating around because no one REALLY knows on here..........or if they do, they do not give direct answers to questions it is mostly speculation 1.  I am in the process of applying for...

35 is still relatively young.....you could do your 20 years service and collect a full pension and only be 55.  I think around 55 is when you are encouraged to call it a career, it may be 60 now though???Possibly look into 3 year degrees that could knock a year off as well

Exactly...good point.  Athabasca has a great distance ed program, I would say the best or most well known in Canada.  They offer plenty of degrees and you can work at your own pace.  Depending how hard of a worker you are you could finish your degree in less than 4 years.....

I hope you are right about Logistics.....that is what I am trying to get an offer in, preferably Air.  My second choice is Signals and third is Infantry
