  The intent on enrolment is to keep people in the occupation they joined for at least 3 to 4 years.  This allows for training to be completed, and for some employment in occupation - hopefully a deployment.  The new enrolment form provides better layout of this information. How long it will...

  How bad was it hurt?  Did you see a doctor when you got hurt?  Knees are important, so do what you can to keep your knees healthy.  Work up to any exercise very carefully.  If you belong to a gym, talk to the trainer, and try working out on a treadmill, starting with a walk, before you start...

  Medicals are still being done at the Recruiting Centres.  Physical Fitness evaluation/testing for Reg F is done at St Jean.  Sometimes the two get confused because some people call the medical a 'physical', since the medic does a number of tests to your body.

I went through training with a set of twins.  It can happen.

    He does trust you - if he didn't he wouldn't bother to set up an interview!     Don't assume that this will be an easy process - it'll depend on the experience of the people at the interview, and what they hope to find out about you.  Remember, they will be giving you a lot of...

The reason the score is so high is that so many people want to be pilots.  There were about 78 DEO/CEOTP positions available at the beginning of the year, and almost 600 people asking for jobs.  Your competiton may be someone who has completed a university degree, and has some or all of a...

  Getting out of single quarters in Borden can be done.  In part, it depends on how long the course is, and whether you have a household of furniture in storage that the military is paying the storage fees. If so, you can build a business case (it'll cost the CF less money to allow you to move...

steven18:             The BPSO is making certain that you have the basic requirements for the new occupation, and for commissioning.  Many (all?) Army Reserve units conduct an interview as well, as part of an Officer Board, similar to what the Reg F Navy Officer's Assessment Board is conducted...

At your enrolment there will be a lot of briefings, and you will be given a lot of papers.  Among those will be your travel arrangements.  Normally you would fly from your home city to Montreal.  If you take a cab to St-Jean, it will be costly.  CFLRS used to try to arrange for transport when...

  The PT test is still a requirement - its just not done at the moment at the Recruiting Centre. To improve your push-ups - do push-ups.  The other exercises will help build up the muscles, and generally help with the push-ups, but there is a technique to doing push-ups, and your body needs to...

And if you don't get a call in September, give the Recruiting Centre a call, or better yet, go in and talk to a recruiter.  Things get busy in the office, and applications have been known to get mislaid.  Follow-up on what you want, especially as time goes by.

Yes, there is a lot of variability, because everyone is different, and applies at a different time.  Right now with the summer change over, and with most Reserve units having all their summer training spots filled, there may be a longer wait than at other times.

Dave:         There are a lot of variables that will affect how quickly you will hear something.  Many staff at various locations are off on holidays, and at the Recruiting Centre there is the normal summer turn around as experienced staff go back to operational units and new staff are posted in...

beands:             When you go for your interview, or as a follow-up to your interview, you are likely to be asked about your interesting employment history.  Don't BS the interviewer.  After all, they are trying to assess how reliable you are (after all, it is called a Reliabilty Check/...

Chad:           Check out the occupations now, and put in for your first choice the one you would prefer.  Its a lot harder to change AFTER you are enrolled.             There are lots of spots for all Combat Arms occupations , so the Recruiting Centres normally go with your first choice.  This...

How long your process will take depends on a lot of different things, including how busy your local Recruiting Centre is, and the number of people they are changing this summer.  Since you are applying for a Reserve unit, it will depend a bit on when the unit is planning its next BMQ start, and...

There are not many Image Tech positions available, and a fair bit of interest.  You education and experience should help you, but you won't know until after the interview and you are ranked against others applying. I don't think the military has changed all that much over the past few years -...

DavidFM -             At your age you don't have to worry about age being a problem for enrolment.   Keep up your physical fitness and training.  The standards are minimum standards, and are based on what level of fitness is needed to start an intense physical fitness program.  The better...

The advise that you are getting from the others is very good.  Do what you need to complete you high school before you get into the military.  For the first one or two years you will not have time to work on your schooling, as military training will take up most of your time, and it will include...
