In the case of a trade such as the Med Tech, you may be assigned to an infantry unit, but the infantry commander can not use medics as soldiers. Medical staff are protected under the Geneva convention, and as such are not allowed to be employed as infantry. You carry a rifle for use in self...

They shouldn't have made you wait for that long for hard contacts. The form for the medical just said to have them out for 3 days before the test...

I have to say I'm definitely looking forward to the spirit of BSG to live beyond the 4 seasons of the show. At this rate it's going to become the long running franchise to beat. Anders, Tyrol, and Cavil all as Cylons eh? This is definitely sounding interesting.

They are still messing with the length of BMOQ. As of right now from what I was told when I swore in, people doing DEO, and ROTP (Civvie U) do a 15 week BMOQ whereas people doing ROTP (RMC) do a 12 week one or something like that. Something about them getting foundational military skills while...

Unfortunately the ROTP has a separate selection process which is now done for this fall. You would have to apply for the 09/10 school year now. Someone yell at me if I'm mistaken, but as far as I know, the selections have been long over for this year. Don't let that discourage you though. There...

Better that be left unsaid if you know what I am getting at. Though I am pleasantly surprised that HCA got on there, so I almost wish I had put that down as a trade choice haha.

Good on you for sticking with the trade choices you really want! It's not good to pick a trade that doesn't interest you for the sake of getting in sooner. Good luck with the CFAT, just make sure you get a good night's sleep before and don't drink so much coffee that you get jittery haha.

I'm Air Support, and there were quite a few of us at my swearing in.

But... I just watched the video not more than 2 minutes ago haha. It was pretty intense.

The only benifit of an honours degree comes when you start looking at graduate studies. Many universities want a person to have an honours degree in their major in order to qualify.

Congrats on the personal best run L2C, and to the rest of you keeping up your fitness. One piece of advice though. Running on the treadmill for X amount of miles may make you think everything is peachy, but it's about twice as easy as running on pavement. See the treadmill is actually moving the...

A normal course load at UBC (Which is what I'm going to use as an example since I'm going there and so I know the system) is 5 courses per semester for 4 years. That is the normal amount of time it should take to receive a standard bachelor's degree with a single major. In order to achieve an...

This is what happens haha. The military makes minor ammendments all the time to different regulations. Was that June of 2008? I was reading the QR&Os yesterday and found a good deal of new additions made as late as May this year so things do change a lot.

When it comes to Civie U some people who take far too many courses in their first year and over their summers can manage to shave off some time off their degree yet still earn the full amount of credits of a 4 year bachelor's degree, however doing so puts significant mental stress on those...

Even if they do make you re-start your whole application, at least you won't have to do the CFAT again. You only have to do that once.

I reccomend doing a search, and checking the threads under the recruiting medical section. Trust me, there have been many many people who have asked that same question and had it answered before.

The exact detailed list of what you need to bring is in your joining instructions.

If you are part of any clubs, sports teams, or community involvement, the leaders of those groups make very good personal references.

I recently got myself a new pair of boots from MEC. I got myself a pair of Raichle Kootenay 5s. So far they have been exceptionally comfortable, though they aren't a GoreTex boot so they are not as breathable as some boots. The overall support is impressive compared to a couple types of boot's...

Congrats to all the new CF members! Welcome to the family guys and gals.
