Thanks Craisome, I suck at waiting. I was also told by a recruiter once "we are super busy at times, it doesn't hurt for you to call in for updates as we can't be looking at an individuals file 24/7". It's cr@p weather here in Moncton... go figure... lol I just have to wait and see when my RC...

Thank you for the kind words. Ayrsayle, I am more than gracious to hear that you found my corner of milnet inspriring. I was initially hesitant and embarassed when I posted my 'life story' but the tune soon changed with similar words of support from my peers here. Rev, I hope at some point...

POST 109 SELECTED Hey all who have been following my posts, giving me encouragement, and kicking me in the a$$ when I need it (thanks mods and mentors). I had received some worry when I called the National Recruitment Contact Center to check into the status of my file as they informed me...

The disruptions through couriers would more than likely be related to more people using couriers due to the strike. Depending on the stage of your application, Medicals and other information are shipped by registered mail through Purolator from the RC to Ottawa or Toronto. Any type of mail...

Thanks for the info, acooper, I thought they were still kicking around! Regardless, Forces don't use Canada Post, haha.

Hey Slapkhan, Once you are merit listed, your application is fired off electronically to the Selection Center depending on which selection it is. Even so, the Canadian Forces uses Purolator rather than Canada Post so don't worry, you are fine. Canada Post is striking by alternating closures or...

I wore a full suit, blazer, tie, dress shoes... the works. The Captain said "You dressed up nice." I responded, "figured it wouldn't hurt." He laughed. That was a good icebreaker. We talked casually and everything after that. Some may have worn jeans and a tshirt or suits. Personally, I saw...

I'm approving of this thread just by CDN Av's posts. /popcorn

Thanks for all the replies. I will more than likely PMQing it for the first few years at least while I find my footing and get used to the life in the military, again, assuming I'm accepted in the first place. The reason why I kind of created this topic, and touching on what Pusser said, is I...

I'm open to Winnipeg, I suppose. I should know better than to give an unfair shake based on people's opinions. In any event, I'm hoping to see at least a few postings in my career! (provided I recieve a job offer)

Greenwood is about 4 hours from where I presently live, so it wouldn't be bad in the case that I could drive up to Moncton on some of my weekends to bring the kids to visit family. I'll certainly be happy with my trade choices from what I know of them, so its just the locale of where I'll be...

I fully appreciate that CDN A. I was just informed by people who had been posted there that it was terrible and the hole to purgatory, hence me wanting to ask you all. Regardless of being 0% in the Canadian Forces, in the event I become in teh Canadian Forces, I just want to know everything I...

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you heal up and bust at 'er next year!

Hey all, I had no idea what what I should label this thread, but thats the closest I could come up with. I'm not 100% in the Forces as I'm still waiting for my offer, however if/when I do, I want to be 100% prepared for my first posting. I'm going in for either ATIS, AVS, and AVN Techs, have...

We have hundreds of inside informants and operatives within the US waiting to strike in the event this happens: -85% of the NHL -Mike Myers -Jim Carrey -Neo -The Barenaked Ladies No offence to anyone, but I refuse to add Celine Dion to this list. In all fairness to the initial post, I would...

A fine example of 'it differs'. Haha. I was asked about where I thought my training was, for how long... etc.

Hi Adrian, Welcome to the forums. If you read further in the thread, you will see a lot of times has this specific question has been asked, and answered. That aside, research your trade. You will be asked the in-and-outs of the trade you picked. You will be asked about the QL3 courses or SQ...

Hey Lare, Usually if posted somewhere longer than 180 days your family can come with you. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. I spoke with my recruiter concerning if I recieve my selection call, after BMQ and PAT my family and I are all moving to Kingston for my QL3, however mine are...

Thanks Rev. I was more curious on the process than dates I could get in. I've waited 8months already, a few more won't hurt so I'm sitting down here, hurryng up and waiting. It would be interesting if we got posted relatively near. Comox and Shearwater are relatively close to Naval posts so...

Hi Sylvia, The Canadian Forces would rather you be honest, even if you had a cloudy past. I have smoked hashish, marijuana, drank when I was young, had depression, was placed in psychiatric care but I was open and honest about it. They requested my doctor's OK on my health, and overall took my...
