I know the recruiting system might be frustrating, but it really is a long process. You need to be patient, and in the mean time go do some physical training. If you don't hear anything by the end of Feb, then call. But we have a saying in the military - "hurry up and wait". Good luck though!

Wow - actually laughed out loud, alone, in my room in Borden. Laughing in Borden is a significant event for me. Good show!

That's the crappy part about internet writing; very hard to convey tone. Education does not give me a rank; it give me choice. And I actively chose to be an NCM. I totally agree with you about no such thing as wasted education, but every month when my $600 student loan comes out, I kind of kick...

I am going to take a stab at this one... Unfortunately, officer jobs are desk jobs. Most of the Lt`s I know, spend their days signing leave passes, memos and other administrative paperwork. AEC officers can be in the tower, but on the base I am at (active air force base), most of them are on...

This ups the game a little as far a cardio goes. Females used to have to only achieve level 2 on the beep test to go on, and males level 3 to go on. Seems better considering how much running recruits do every PT.

Hey guys! I was in your shoes exactly 1 year ago! Kit issue is the Thursday of the first week. Your first PT session is also that morning. Most of your PT will be outside - even in the cold and snow. They issue you a track suit to run in. You also wear gloves and a touque. Even with the snow -...

Do some research on a Contingency Cost Move (or Cost Contingency Move). This is like a compassionate posting, but totally not. It is a posting that will solve a problem. A compassionate posting is where you must go somewhere to stay in order to solve a problem, whereas in a CCM, the posting...

He was not misinformed. All med techs joining now require secret clearance. I received my secret clearance 6 months after joining, and it is mandatory before you are loaded on your QL3 course.

... a 44 year old grandmother on my BMQ whopped everyone's butt. She won top female athlete, and put ever guy on my platoon to shame. Food for thought.

Actually, the new curriculum for BMQ does break it up into 2 modules. This is to make it easier for NCM SEP students to break BMQ into two parts done over two summers. If you are not NCM SEP, the benchmark is week 10. Any injury before that sends you back to week 1 (as there is no week 0 in the...

First of all, what trade are you? You will not be loaded on SQ right away, and it might not be in Meaford. Gagetown and Petawawa also run SQ. All SQ sessions until February are full. You will not get full leave. You will get 2 days for every FULL month you are enrolled. Aug to Mar means 16 days...
