    Your daily 'thing to be afraid of'

    aaaand I will never be visiting this thread. Ever. Again. ;)

    It's been a long road...

    Another small update: After not hearing from the RC for about a month and a half I called them yesterday to check on the status of my application. I was told that my Medical looks like it came back good but they are waiting on the last part of my background check to come back - I'm assuming...

    To apply or to wait?

    Personally, I would try for the CF funded option first. That's just me though. For the answer to your questions concerning which entry plan the CF would prefer or which you should do, you need to speak with a recruiter. Keep in mind that your contract requirements might very well be different...

    I don't care what your beliefs are...

    I guess what would be different is that the police can actually do something about a letter. Our Internet laws are pretty much non-existant. Sending a letter to someone is much more personal, you have to at least know where they live - unless they emailed it. From my own experience with having...

    change in background check speed?

    That may not be entirely correct. The company that performs the background checks was contacting my former employers seeking confirmation of employment/references. Just my experience.

    Subsidized Education Question

    I don't think they take SAR Techs off the street anymore. You really need to talk to a recruiter about this and which programs are available for NCM-SEP. The only one I know of is Med Tech.

    Looking for advice for a Career in the Forces.

    It depends on your Doctor. Most would probably want to speak with you about your results, just makes sense. Mine however, just forwarded the results to the CF and I didn't know until the recruiting centre called me to tell me everything was good and they were sending it to Ottawa for final...

    Close Protection Training

    ? The last post in that thread states: Did I miss something?

    Close Protection Training

    Do you know when that changed again? Just because I was reading this thread: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/35757.125.html and it stated that CP was open to all trades as recently as 2010 and then the thread goes dark. Just curiousity on my part.

    Life in the military?

    Not sure about that. They do have food accommodation options for vegetarians though.

    Life in the military?

    If you mean do they give you a protein, etc., in each meal than I'm pretty sure they try to do that. Like I said, it depends on where you are and what you are doing. Sometimes you will have access to the mess which is usually set up cafeteria style and you can pick and choose to a point what...

    Life in the military?

    While you're on course or in the field that's probably not a very realistic goal. However, I know plenty of people who make/find time to nourish themselves appropriately for bodybuilding in garrison. It might be a bit more difficult if you are living off of rations as from what I hear there...

    An update interview?

    I didn't say you disrespected your province.  :facepalm: I mean you insinuated that other members were disrespecting you and your province when they were trying to correct errors they saw with your writing. You got defensive pretty quick. Next time, maybe just step back and try to see if there...

    The Depression / Anti Depressants Merged Thread

    I am not a doctor, current CF member (just an applicant), etc... That being said, having issues with anxiety and depression, especially with PTSD in your past CAN put you into a higher risk category for suffering Operational Stress Injuries while serving in the CF. Since all soldiers are...

    Looking for some fitness advice before applying

    I am no fitness expert. There that's out of the way. Have you watched the videos of the new fitness standards, the old PT test requirements (that I think are still in place), possibly even the PARE? I was looking for new ideas and I watched the videos of the exercises the military expects you to...

    An update interview?

    Well, that escalated quickly. Step back. Relax. You have taken a simple warning about spelling and grammar and turned it into disrespect toward yourself and your entire province. I would take this as a good learning experience. Keep in mind that many of the people on this site are current or...
