    interview

    For the interview purpose, I think the more relevant point is to demonstrate that you have done some research on joining the Forces. It doesn't really matter if you know the exact answer, all it matters is that you have research into your job and your organization. Go to the QOR website and...

    Wrist Watch Recommendations - Merged Thread

    I like analog myself but digital is better for me in the field.  For one digital watches are easier to synchronize that analog watches, and they usually comes with alarm and stop watches.  Personally I have a Casio G-shock for 10 years and it's still ticking.  So I think it is a pretty good...

    Occupation Selection

    My 2 cents: I understand that you are excited for being accepted (congratulations btw) and anxious of getting the ball going.  However, CFRC process many applications a day.  If I were you I would wait for them to get back as a courtesy.  Wait for a week or so to cut the processing clerk some...

But like I said, CFRC will be able to tell you...

    Concerns

    My 2 cents: DO NOT get in the trap of "self-serving bias".   Sometimes when your are certain about something, you may drown out advices that are good and valid. Be open minded and objective about your parents and friends concerns.   Although you may not like to hear it right now, they may have...
