That's really interesting! Keep us posted as you go through the training. MPO was one of the trades I had been offered after I didn't meet the visual standard for AEC. It seems like quite the interesting job.

Having read your previous post in the personal stories section I do feel some sympathy for you. Finding out you don't meet the medical standard is a hard thing, I had to go through it for my primary trade choice. Unfortunately the way you are going about this is rather childish. You can't expect...

PAT = Personnel Awaiting Training.

Land, Sea, or Air Support Mangela? Also, what are you majoring in?

You were brave enough to actually rent that? I can't bring myself to watch any movie that tries to be a spin off comedy of another movie...

Let's just say I'm no sailor haha. I could barely handle an Alaskan cruise when the ship went out beyond sheltered waters... I do however find sailing in small boats to be just fine. They move rock and bounce around faster so it doesn't bother me as much as a ship making its long gradual rolls.

I was actually wondering that as well. Whether the resurrection hub that was in space was just there to provide mobile fleet resurrection capabilities for the Cylon fleets as they moved around, and that there might be an even larger complex on the Cylon homeworld. We just saw the Humans double...

It was a really chilling movie. I loved it though. It took me a while to understand that our good friend Anton, the psychopathic hitman, was actually the main character. He was an antihero, but he was in fact the 'protagonist' whereas the movie was actually filmed from the narrative point of...

Personally I actually liked Bon Cop, Bad Cop. I thought it was a hoot. What was a terrible movie? I don't know the title, but it was on an airline ride to Holland. It was supposed to be a western, but it was in Dutch, subbed in English, and had some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Also a...

Looks pretty choppy out there. Let's hope everyone already has their sea legs.

Well you know what they say. The further away a person lives, the earlier they will be. The people who are late for work and school are the ones who live across the street. Congratulations on making it through everything! I know the CFAT can definitely strain the brain. I am not very good at...

This is just terrible... It's like someone just ripped out a piece of our long standing culture and started laughing. Not to mention they tell us that this piece of Canadian history is only worth 500$ a pop.... >:(

It's just far fetched enough that it would make an increadable twist! We have all the viewers scrutinizing their favourite characters, and it could be a baby that hasn't even been born yet. That would be a shocker.

My medical was about an hour when you include the eye exam and audiogram. The actual history/ physical was only about 20 mins. I think handing people a list of possible conditions is bad because people read them, panic about "Oh I don't want to lie about anything." and then start checking off...

Well I did all my thinking and after putting in a bunch of time down at my old cadet unit I have decided that I still definitely want to join the forces, so all is still good. Just took me a little bit of time to run through all the options in my head to make a choice.

Ah see that wasn't what Karl28 said, he just said that they couldn't have children in general, but I agree they can't have children amon gthemselves. Perhaps the final 5 are special in that they can reproduce with other Cylons then?

It's interesting about having check boxes on the medical. My medical questionnaire was done orally. The PA just asked me questions about my medical history, but I never got a form with boxes to tick off that included anything like Raynaud's.

You do know that Sharon is a Cylon right? She had a child. Tyrol is a cylon, he had a child with Cali. So it is more than possible for Cylons to have kids.

According to the recruiting site, certain BSc degrees still qualify you for some engineering trades.

I really want to say thank you for putting so much thought into your post. It has really helped me think about some things, and you are really right about things. I am going to think some more about everything. I do agree about the financial aspects of things, and I have really been considering...
