Just out of curiosity how do people with full-time jobs work in a full-time course in the summer? I always thought reserve courses were on weekends.

I have an "oral sensitivity" (apparently not an allergy) to apples, pears, peaches, etc and had to see an allergy specialist who signed documents given to me by recruiters saying it would not affect me in doing my job. Every situation is different though, this is what happened in my case. If you...

Anyone know anything about Dolphin Scuba? I was thinking about doing my open water course there in August.

When I applied I was told my college diploma, even though it was unrelated, gave me the highest score for Education on my application. I assume there are categories that you are scored on and anything you have that makes you a better candidate in that category will increase your score and make...

A buddy that was on my sister platoon in basic had a baby when he was home one weekend. Lucky for him the kid was born on the weekend when he was there, and he was back by Sunday night. Everyone's different so you'll find your way to deal with it. Talk to your staff once you're there, they'll...

A swiss army knife is actually a good idea. Someone gave me one before I started BMQ and it became the most useful thing I had. You don't get the gerber until some point after basic (for me it was during my 3's), and even still, I use the swiss army knife more than the gerber. A pkg of 3 combo...

Don't want to remuster, just want the courses. Thanks for the link.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice for taking part-time courses on your own time, as far as being sent somewhere midway through the course. I don't want to loose my tuition, but as I see it the only way to guarantee that would be not to sign up at all. Can you get approval from your CoC to...

I think we can all agree there are many trades in the CF that would appeal to not only police services but many other employers after release. His question was about infantry, answer is yes, good plan but it really depends on you (attitude, work ethic, etc), not the trade you choose.

The gym in Edmonton has 2 heavy bags and 2 speed bags, so you'll probably want to bring your equipment.

Anyone know how accurate/up to date this info is? I'll be posted to Edmonton in March and would like to know what my chances of getting into a single room (opposed to 2 in a room) would be. Thanks

I'm guessing he'll wash the Bugatti Veyron http://www.leftinsmoke.com/index.php?params=media/1093/Bugatti-Veyron-Goes-253-MPH/

Agreed with all of the above, especially the sitting around doing nothing. Don't wait to be lucky to get on a tasking, keep letting your MCpl or Sgt know you want on one, and be there when they ask who wants on a tasking which is usually at the end of the day at dismissal. I got on a 6 week...

I went from playing 3x a week before joining to basically nothing...I've played twice since February. I finish my 3's in March though, and can't wait to finally get posted. I wouldn't bring any equipment to St. Jean, the only place you'll have to store it is civvy lock-up, and I don't think...

Does anyone know if this is true for the OPP also? Been told it is, but cannot find any info on it. Is an OPP pension 25 years? Searched but cannot find.

I'm 32 next week and starting my QL3 at the end of the month...age hasn't been a factor yet...

Looks good, thanks for the replies...

Does anyone know if Military ID is an acceptable form of ID for travel to Mexico in place of a birth certificate? You need a drivers licence and birth cert, but I haven't been able to find my bc so I was wondering if Military ID would work, or if I need to keep looking. Thanks in advance.

Don't worry, now that you have your date time will start to fly...feels like yesterday I got my call and was looking forward to basic...good luck

I mean more on my end, what can I do to make my application noticed, besides memos and informing my chain. Are there any qualifications I could get on my own time. Are there restrictions on becoming a member like X number of years in? How long is a DART deployment?
