I agree with George, but to give you a bit of information to possibly avoid a duplicate post: If you require medication in order to function 'properly' you will be inadmissible to the CAF. A civilian psychologist or doctor will need to satisfy to the CAF that you are medically fit, especially...

Transportation to and from St-Jean as well as meals etc... has to do with your Unit. Are you sure that you will be doing Reg-F BMQ in St-Jean and not Reserve BMQ? Reserve BMQ is usually done in the vicinity of the Unit although I have known of some people who did go there. The only people that...

Been a while Stacked! The FORCE test is rumoured to be hitting CFLRS 2014 Fiscal year. By then the may have up'd the antes. It would certainly get rid of WFT since it is completely 'based' off of operational fitness (ie: mobility test), if they fail that, au revoir.

In the context I'm thinking Training & Skills Development. At least that is what New Brunswick and a few other provinces called it when I was job searching a few years back.

Education is important. I applied to the military +- 4 years ago with my grade 11 education and no diploma. I had applied to become an ATIS Tech, a trade where part of the training was/is considered to be one of the most difficult courses in the Canadian Armed Forces academically. I got up to...

An important note. I've read and heard from various recruits-to-be that they feel like their recruitment centre, recruiter, file manager... etc.... are out to get them. Not the exact words, but that is the general consensus. You can not accurately compare applications on a side to side basis...

When you sign on, its a 5-year variable engagement in some cases. As runormal stated, try the reserves. If your primary trade choice is pilot, then unfortunately you may want to look on the civilian side. There are a few Lieutenants that have been here on base just waiting for the call for...

The Military isn't here to discriminate you for your past. There was an applicant with me who smoked pot as recently as a year prior to his application. The Captain informed him, as long as its a year ago, they'll allow his application to proceed. He's been in three years now. Another example is...

Its normal for such a gap.  CFAT is the indicator for which trades you may or may not be eligible. The Interview is normally when they clarify your 3 choices, and in my case was informed I was merit listed for ATIS. I know some people that had their interview within 4 months of the CFAT, myself...

Hey there. Put as much detail as you can. The selection process is can at times be tedious, and more details can never hurt. List your accomplishments, no matter how meager. They want to see what sets you apart from another applicant who is waiting for a spot. Remember, the question is 'WHY'...

Good to hear! Congrats! One of the most famous phrases in the CAF is 'Hurry up and wait'. You got to experience it, welcome to the club  :nod:

Late reply, missed this post. Following your QL3, you will then get your first posting and will begin your QL4 package. The '4s' consist of Online Learning (PIPs) and to get signed off on some hands on learning for:  Radios (Air Ground Air) Networking IT ComSec Radar (SSR, PAR, Tacan, GCA...

I would recommend against duplicate posts http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/111665.0.html However, going to your issue, as George Wallace stated, Unit Recruiter would be best. We're in vacation season and administrative 'accidents' can and will occur. Contact your unit. I have sent...

Its not 100% guaranteed they will get time off. When I went through, my course did however I know of courses that didn't. It is up to the staff's discretion. As of time off, it could range from just an hour to 4 hours, it isn't a 6 hour to overnight foray. Just make sure she is aware that a...

I have 2 kids, both under three (at the time), a wife who was helping out my mother who had broken her neck and I didn't even own a cellphone. I lived, whereas the 18 year old on the other side of the wall from me panicked because his girlfriend works at DQ and gets hit on, somehow his iPhone...

There's a two to three month wait list for priority 1 right now in Kingston, a friend of mine just got approved for a 2 bdrm apartment though after a one month wait. Timmies is indeed in the Canex off of Niagara. As said by Puckchaser, the traffic can be significantly bad in the mornings and...

Hey all, I'm in need for a PLQ Theory Lesson Plan format, up to date and current. We don't have access to any on the Q-Drive and its required ASAP. If anyone can help, could you should be an PM? Cheers Mud

I'm on PAT waiting for POET right now in Kingston. There are many things here that can be provided to give you a practice to POET, eg: the PAT MCpls and Sgts have copies they can provide you on a scrubbed usb stick. Cheers

Hey all, I'm going to be heading to CFSCE Kingston Feb 10 and was wondering if anyone had a clue if or for how long I could be on PAT or when the next courses start. Thanks all.

Thanks Stacked. Hey Scott. I have no problem with the tech issues. Our staff is pretty lenient on allowing us to have our cells (performance allowing for them), etc, and when we didn't have that I could use the payphones to call my wife and kids. I could cope well with or without.
