kewl - that's gunna be a bit of a flight then - I'll be there on the 2nd - hopefully we'll run into each other at some point :D

where are you coming from?? I'm going up there from Ottawa - recruiting through Hamilton though.

Yup - got my call this morning too. I swear in on the 30th and I get into St. Jean on the 2nd of Feb to start on the 4th :) AVS Tech is my trade of choice. Excited?

Well - getting into the PRes was a nightmare - my application to the RegF has been fairly smooth sailing - and I would like to thank Capt. Thomas and Cpl. Salis at CFRC Hamilton for that. Today at 930am I was given my offer of employment - I'll be swearing into the CF on the 30th of January for...

This thread is a year old.... so anything before my post is null and void - mine got moved here from the Jan thread

One horribly adorable kitten named by the cadets of the Squadron I was working with. Camo the Combat Kitty And two now deceased adopted Guinea Pigs - Sally(darker) and Fluffy - neither named by me (The Chin's name is Spazz - he was my roommates) Hmm - I voted for one cat - because she's...

I've always called Blue Mountain, Nova Scotia home because it was the frist place we lived for more then a year or two that I remember. However I've lived; CFB Halifax CFB Hoburg CFB Trenton Winnipeg, MN Blue Mountain, NS Prescott, ON St. Catharines, ON And shortly to St. Jean for a few...

I was wondering when that would happen - well while we're on the topic of upcoming BMQs - anyone else slotted for the 4th of Feb??

I'm so happy for you!!! I just had my interview yesterday and it's a breeze if you're honest. I'd also look into the specs of your first choice trade and have an idea of what kind of training to expect. Good luck next week ~Cat

Woot! Interiew is over and done - passed it with no issues. Now I'm just waiting for my actaul offer of employment and BMQ. Apparently once the ball is rolling - it rolls fast. Gotta pack up my room here in St. Catharines and move back to my parents house once I've been sworn in, and I've been...

So bugging CFRC was actually a good idea. I stopped in today to make sure my file and such was in order and got my interview moved up - to Friday. I'm psyched although getting a litte more nervous. I know I have what it takes, it's just seeming like a huge step right now to pack up what's been...

Perhaps this one hasn't been seen as often - it's an old email I received from a friend a couple years ago, but I didn't see a site match for it...I apologise if it's been seen a ton. >HOW THE MILITARY HAS CHANGED>> 1945 - NCO's had a typewriter on their desks for doing daily>reports. >2000 -...

So my stupid kidney infection won't go away and I have to go back in to get put on more drugs (joy). Plus I'm still waiting on my interview and everything else to follow it. Newest - but not overly new obstacle; getting my significant other to support my foray into the military. I know why he's...

Well I called into set up my interview today - re-interview is now for the 28th of January. I also found out that my landlord is an idiot and is trying to have me evicted becasue he didn't cash my cheque. So I might not even be in St. Catharines come the 28th. Talk about frustrating... ah...

OK - I have a few questions on this - assuming I have the correct trade - Avionics Systems Technician??? I was wondering what the course layout was like. I get BMQ - first month confined to quarters basically, next few weeks you have weekend off(at the instructors good graces), can take leave -...

I failed the original pushup standard in 2003(ish) . Yes, I've worked my rear off recently to get my pushups up to standard while waiting for my paperwork to come through and have another chance at the PT Test.  Then I  got sick and haven't been able to do much for the past month, and am just...

Well I'm all for shouting it from the rooftops, I really do love the cadet system and think it has alot to offer youth(although it's getting a bit girl-guide esqe in some areas). however, unless it's benefitting me, or whoever I'm with, chances are I'm not going to launch into a "this is how we...

I'm just going on what I've seen, in general it seems that each cadet unit does things differently, but there is more continuity by element. Air cadets have a bad habit of dragging out/singing drill commands, army cadets swing shoulder high, sea cadets...hmm, I haven't had as much experience...

:p I'd say I fit into that group....but I've been trying too long for it to be a resolution....

I was just refering to some less then lovely past recruiting experiances,mostly at the PRes unit level. I take each new recruiter as I take everyone else, I'll deffinately listen to what your buddy has to say, can never hear too much or learn too much :)
