    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    I'd leave this up to DAA and his ilk but I think you need a transfer if you want to get into another trade. Look up "Occupational Transfer" on this forum and it'll give you an idea what you can do, how long to wait etc.

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    Can you clarify whether or not you have enrolled or not? If you have you'd have to request a transfer to another trade

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    Not acceptable but rather trying to frame this in a context of being part of a meme which is meant to be uploaded to Youtube as part of a goof, not some agenda to attack and harass women. This'll be my final post on this thread as most people here aren't getting that this "behavior" is not...

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    She didn't interview someone in front of a monastery or the UN; she interviewed people as they were in front of a stadium where a football match was taking place where alcohol is served. If you feel good judgement and the best behavior of humans are expected to be on full display here I don't...

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    There's a difference between bullying and what happened to this reporter. I'm not condoning what was done nor what has been done in the past but to turn this into a "anti woman", "sexually motivated whatever" is nonsense. What behavior are we expecting to change here? Should we do studies, re...

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    Whats worse still is he is being used as part of an agenda where he is in a long line of men who have it out for women. They refuse to accept the fact he's just an idiot who did an idiotic thing while intoxicated. The only difference here is that there was a television crew there to film it and...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    I'm assuming the re enrollment waiver will be part of your application package although its strange if thats the case; you'd think they would want a waiver first before even touching your file. Like I said I need to head down to my local CFRC and clarify

    Waiting for a medical and interview. I haven't been asked for a re-enrollment waiver yet but according to an e mail I received the staff at the CFRC will be doing it. I need to go down there to clarify but thats where I'm at

    Your case may be different given that your desired trade is in demand whereas mine (infantry) isn't. I think it also depends on whether or not you have completed BMQ and your trade courses. I don't think they're looking to fast track my application

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    Its not an excuse just the reality. My issue with this whole story is the twisting of an otherwise idiotic and disrespectful behavior of someone into something that its not. I watched the video and in my opinion he doesn't go out of his way to insult a woman because she is a woman he's just...

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    Fair enough but but it was juvenile; he did a childish thing only he got caught doing it. What he said moreso than what he did I hear in bars and restaurants in Toronto all the time by men (and women) my age (28) and older. His behavior, I would say, is drunken buffoonery more than anything...

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    I think this is taking it too far and may also be a case of one generation not understanding meme's. If you look on Youtube which has hours of news bloopers where guys like the aforementioned HydroOne employee bomb live news crews all the time, regardless of sex or race. Its just a dumb...

    For those of us re-enrolling are we low priority, regardless of how well we've done on the CFAT, TSD etc?

    Thanks and maybe I'll sing it during my BMQ graduation  :P Although I always liked "Auld Lang Syne" for occasions like that

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    The reality is this will blow over and he will be forgotten in a week or so. If Hydro One wants to save face and rehire him they'll do it when the attention dies down, which it will

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    The guy got what was coming to him, no doubt. With him being a high profile Hydro One employee who made Toronto's Sunshine list he probably should have known better. Regardless of whether he meant it or not, it was offensive and he was dealt with.

    Harrasment in public..Hydro One fires "jerk" for reporter prank

    Not to make excuses for this guy but what he said is an internet meme that can be looked up on Youtube. I've seen about five dozen videos where guys hijack a newscasters story and yell out what he did, either in the background or directly into a microphone. I don't think he meant it to be...

    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    Didn't know NATO was outnumbered which makes sense now that I think about it; China, Soviet Union, North Korea yikes! Interesting still is what many who were involved with the Cuban Missile Crisis would later say regarding whether or not they would have actually used nukes or not. I don't think...
