My advice would be to know yourself. Think about what you want to do and why. Think about what you may be asked to do, and if you could do it. Other than that, don‘t sweat it. Be yourself, but KNOW yourself. Filling out that worksheet they gave you is a great place to start.

I had my board interview last night, it wasn‘t too different from the interview at the CFRC, except that it geared a little more toward making sure that I knew what I was getting myself into. Some current events, some questions about my personal life, some about my leadership qualities. Just...

If you know your perscription (cylinder and sphere), you can apply this formula -- (cylinder/2)+sphere --if the result you get is less than 7.00, you‘ll be fine.

My understanding (and DON‘T take this as gospel) is that if your vision can be corrected to 6/6, you won‘t have much of a problem.

You know, I told the truth about drug use in my Medical and Interview. I never have been interested in using drugs, so I never have. I stick to alcohol, thank you. Oddly enough, both times I was asked, my replies were recieved with near disbelief. I have a feeling that I‘ll be asked to pee...

Know any Liberal MP‘s who are former members?

I‘ve had that problem from time to time myself. Though, it has been happening more regularly lately.

The thingy they use is a little gadget (it has a name, but I can‘t think of it now) that has a dial on it that indicates the force in Kg that you are sqeezing the handle mechanism. The dial is built so that the highest force is indicated after you let go so that the tester can see your score...

You‘ll be a Communist Radical by the time you finish your poli. Sci. degree at York. ...or at the very least an ‘activist‘...

Heck , I don‘t remember even being asked.

And how was it? Similar to the interview at the CFRC?

Zoomie, are you sure that‘s true about DEO‘s? My understanding (in the reserves, at least) there‘s a Selection Board interview to go through as well. That‘s what I was told at least.

Yes -- I‘ve applied to be a DEO Reserve officer, and I think the interview is the same for both regular and reserve. I would suggest if you are applying to the reserves that you be able to explain why you made that particular choice...

Thanks for that, Jug. I had my interview this afternoon and everything went well, I think. To echo Jug‘s original advice, fill out that worksheet. Know thineself...

Out of curiosity, did anybody bring a resume with them?

I asked only one of my references if he got a call, and apparently he didn‘t. Unless they call after the interview, which for me is on Monday, I guess they don‘t call in every case.

I know this has nothing to do with the question, but I remember reading that people with flat feet could walk/run/march long distances with more fewer incidents of stress fractures, as compared to the rest of us.

Well, there you go. Apparently in blank tracers, pixie dust is the element of choice.

As the chemistry nerd, strontium is an element, so the only thing in strontium is...strontium. It probably is in a salt (the chloride, or something). It does make a nice brick red though colour when you burn it though.

So, if the Heavy tank is going the way of the dodo, are we admitting that war as we have seen it in the early part of the last century is also going that way? Small, low-intensity conflicts from here on in? Thus no use for big MBT‘s?
