    Wrist Watch Recommendations - Merged Thread

    Funny enough, I too have owned both the Casio and the Timex watches in question ... I found the Casio slightly more bulky and expensive, but my main problem with BOTH watches was my ability to accidentally - but usually very quickly - destroy the plastic that surrounds and "protects" the face...

    Supply Tech - merged

    Vern are you on the French course?? I saw this and couldn't for the life of me figure out what Supply or Chiefs course you could be on for that long (until I thought of the French 2nd Lang long course) Otis

    question about recruiting process that pertains to me

    It is very unlikely that you will be able to attend RMC. Should you apply to the CF and for the ROTP program (to have your education paid for) most likely they will tell you to continue your education at the institution you are already attending. Having said THAT however ... as it has been...

    Question about applying

    At some point after Jan 3rd you will get a phone call from the local CFRC asking you to bring in your documents (which ones will you still be missing by the way? Depending on what it is, you may be able to go in and open a file without and bring it in later) If you are not ready to submit them...

    Army Reserve MP Component Transfer to Reg Force MP

    Quick correction ... you no longer go to the Recruiting Centre to initiate (start) your Component Transfer ... you MUST do it on the DIN through your unit ... once your records have been pulled and reviewed, Ottawa will contact you (and the CFRC) to go to your nearest CFRC for the remainder of...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    Apology accepted. If you were just attempting to do a comparison of your experience vs others, then you simply worded your original question poorly. Rather than asking how long it takes to complete the step, if you had no intention of attempting to disprove me then you maybe should have asked...

    Proper footwear for DEU's?

    Keeping in mind that I am Navy and there may be Army-specific customs that I am unaware of, but I AM a Supply Tech (maybe Vern can correct me with more Army-specific advice) ... In my experience, in general, Jr NCM's usually wear Ankle boots with their 1A's and Snr NCO's and officers wear...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    SO, when I TOLD you today that it would take 2-6 months for your VFS and PMD's to be pulled from Ottawa, sent to us and reviewed I was what...? Talking to myself? Lying? Mistaken? It never ceases to amaze me ... I REALLY have come to appreciate the depth and breadth of experience here on the...

    Zero Pilots Being Hired in 2009?

    I don't recommend this option ... the current estimated timeline for CT from the Reserves to the Regular Force is 18 months ...

    MEMOS:CFAO/DAOD or other source for the # of days it must be returned to the mbr

    I'd say the troll is under the bridge ... right where he's led his long and distinguished line of personnel who have followed him in this circle of h*ll ... Someone PLEASE lock this thread or delete it or whatever ... it's going nowhere and the arguments have stopped making any sense, despite...

    More sailors needed for Canada's warships

    Trust me, NC ... a lot of the PO's are no better off than the Jr Ranks ... I currently have a friend on one of the ships ... PO1 with no departmental Chief, no PO2, no MS and short 1 LS out of 5 ... this PO is currently sailing doing all four Snr NCO jobs while trying to train the Jr personnel...

    Whine about Vern Thread - so that we can keep actual threads ... well, actual.

    I'd like to complain that Vern stood us up at the Meet and Greet in Toronto ... she's the only reason most of us went. On the other hand though, we probably all got home a lot more sober and a lot less poor because she wasn't there to have an influence on us. Oh, and I heard that she forced...

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    Further to FDO's post ... I'D like to remind MaddogJr that if you take the time to look at people's profiles who are posting, quite a few of us have placed our qualifications there so that people know when they are hearing from a SME in a certain topic ... I still do it, if I question the...

    On asking questions & hostile dog-pile replies.

    You would be correct Mr. Bobbitt, it isn't a Recruiters job to hold anyone's hand through the system. We DO attempt to help when we can, and I have been known to 'push' files through for people who have made a good impression, and sometimes we will even give out hints and tips and tricks to aid...

    Army Vern

    I concur, I'd like to know where she's going (it's always good to know where the Arcs of Fire are coming from) Congrats Vern!

    Subsidized Education - ROTP

    You cannot have this document as it is an internal document of CFRC. In fact, I don't even have this document. The UPSO did and showed it to me so that I could originally answer this question with reference. Otis
