I live around Vancouver too, I'm still waiting for my course dates/ enrollment. I'm sticking with civvi U and I'm just done my first year now so they wanted to send me packing this summer if they could, but it seems they are waiting for St. Jean to find out if they can make room. As for the...

Lumber, they might have only said Naval Engineering if they are sticking with their new system of not assigning a specific job until after BMOQ. It means Calgone could end up as either type of Naval Engineer.

like the word "tango hotel echo" which now shows up as "tha" :D Glad you all see the humour behind it! Now I'm going to go talk with my friends about BMQ in the Canadian Forces. ;)

I read about a guy in the official Darwin Awards book, it was the same accident. Guy lights a lighter to check the level, and the truck explodes. Though this guy was still rolling around whereas the guy in the book was killed.

I am so stoked for the last season! It looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride to the end of the show. I've gone and bought season 1, and started watching the earlier episodes again, just because I missed a few of the earlier season ones. Too bad the Colonial Fleet isn't real; I'd join. :D

Medical Tech requires a full valid driver's license.

Don't worry about the message. As long as you left your full name and a number where they can call you back, that message will find its way to the person who has your file. If you don't hear back in a day or two, give them another call, and try and get ahold of an actual person to ask them...

OK I just have to make a funny comment about the word "Ye" because my professor made a long rant about it last week. One of the people in my class used that word, and when he read his essay out loud he pronounced it "Yee", just like it's spelled right? Wrong! We found out it is actually...

Well I called today to ask if they had confirmed my course date. Earlier when they gave me my job offer they told me BMOQ this summer, but then today they told me that they don't know when my course will be. I wish I knew if I had to apply for some summer semester classes or not haha. Any ROTP...

Oh good times! I'm going to have to show this one to my friends.

I'd like to make it to Major one day, but I'd also be just as happy as a Captain. It's a good thing this is a speculative thread, because I still have to make it past being an O/Cdt. and all the fun stuff that comes with that rank (ie training). ^_^

It's an interesting thing, one of the people I know just finished BMQ, and rather than going to Borden for his AVS training, he is going to a civilian technical school now. The military is paying for him to get it done elsewhere.

OK, the latest scoop on the SLT from my recruiting center, kind of off topic but important, that list is for DEO and CEOTP. If you are doing either of those, then you might not have to do it until you want to make it to major. ROTP still does SLT for all trades, both languages.

You realize electives are there so that you can expand your horizons, not staying locked rigidly into your program of choice? Trust me, you will be thankful to take a break from your program and getting to take another course that interests you. I took anthropology and archaeology this year and...

There's not much to say. That's your view, and I'm sure your work ethics will continue to reflect these habits in later life. My first year English program has had me writing 13 essays over the course of the year on about 20 books. I have to read all of them, I have to attend all my lectures...

Go to the medical! Once you get there, explain everything, and if they have any concern, they will get you to go get a doctor to sign off on it. Or they might tell you to wait. Either way, you should go get their opinion, because you might end up waiting for nothing. That or they might just tell...

Well I don't know if they will change things around on you, but then again... Things are changing a lot this year. The only way to find out it to get there and see what the platoon staff say right?

Well from what I was told by the folks at the CFRC, since IAP and BOTC are back to back, you only go through indoctrination one time. The course carries on after that, and you are 'free' so to speak, on weekends during BOTC. Again, that is what I was told, who knows what the platoon staff might...

Well I have to say that although I was accepted for ROTP, I wasn't actually sure if I was going to be. I told myself that I would have absolutely no qualms about finishing university on my own, and then going in as an NCM, either Med Tech or AVN Tech. As everyone said it's all about what you...

Well I only qualify for 3 officer trades due to my eyes and my degree that I'm working on, so that means I have somewhat of an idea of what I'm getting into. Then the other day when I was talking with the great recruiting staff I learned about the MLTP (Military Legal Training Program) for...
