    What keeps or kept you in the CAF?

    I often wonder if there's some inherent desire/pull for people, especially men, to serve in the military. Since I began the process to re-enroll and back during my first time in I always had people, again mostly men, approach me or during work hours at my civilian job say "they wish they had...

    Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

    Thanks the process has been long but worth it if not for me quitting smoking and getting into shape; I've never been this fast or strong and I'll keep at it no matter what. Hope all of us make it

    I did my medical with you, if you remember me; you and I spoke before the RC opened and walked to the medical station together. Good luck with your application

    Is anyone else applying for a support trade?

    Although I am not going for a support trade (I'm going Reg Force Infantry) I can empathize with the waiting. I have two waivers waiting to be either approved or denied but one thing I have found out while waiting is that I'm not as physically fit as I thought I am. I can do 7km run no problem...

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    I notice what Parkdale is becoming and think it'll end up being like Harlem; durng the latter half of the 20th century it was a poverty stricken neighbourhood but now its being occupied more and more by well to do folks. I think Regent Park is undergoing the same thing with the new condos being...

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    Now that the Gardiner has finally seen movement on its future with the "Hybrid" solution I hope the public transit situation will be seriously looked at as well. I think a legitimate criticism about Toronto is the traffic and while the Gardiner is a step in the right direction I wonder how else...

    It means you have not been selected for further processing so you'll just have to wait. Many of us here have been in the same boat so just be patient :)

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    Toronto has some of the best universities in the world, too. I've met so many people, not just from all over Canada, but the world too who struggled and fought to come here to live and learn.

    Not sure what you're expecting out of this thread, recceguy.

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    I find that one person's TO is different than someone else's. For me, its seeing people of all ages, races, and lifestyle's (hipster, yuppie etc) getting along to the point where I can name one bar/nightclub in every neighborhood and you'll find this mix. You'll find people who will say its the...

    If its on the internet then it must be true... especially if its Fox News they're always on top of things

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    Didn't catch that last part earlier in the thread. I'm curious as to why you feel this way, Mike? I love people watching and when I was a smoker I would hang out in front of the Eaton Centre near Sears and watch the people go by for a good twenty minutes or so. Met all sorts there; tourists...

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    This reminds of Sarah Palin's "Real Americans" comment from years back where a disconnect exists between small town folk and big city folk. I've met several tourists who thought Toronto is or should be the capital of the nation and I think we are, in a way. I think I have the best of both worlds...

    BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

    I'm pretty confident you guys will be loaded onto the 27 July BMQ. And you're lucky if you do because you'll have (hopefully) a lot of time to enjoy the remainder of your summer knowing you'll be starting a great career. I know for myself I have some waivers that need approving but everyday I...

    Toronto: Love it or hate it?

    I haven't been to the CN Tower yet and probably never will. Myself, along with a lot of other people, won't pay an insane amount of money just to ride up a tall building. It has a glass floor! Big whoop
