13 July 07 (Yes, Friday the 13th) Air Factor awarded, docs cleared for Borden to formulate offer.

according to the PO that did my medical, the file would not leave the recruiting centre or his office and did not proceed another step until he got the additional medical doc's that were requested.

dang, thanks for sharing your experiences.

Rant?? yes staff..

this is a drdc wait times thread.

Anyone else been waiting a lifetime to get docs out of DRDC Toronto?? Did you know the PLD in TO is a $1000 a month but it's only $100 in Borden area, where half of TO commutes from?

The following is a quote from "C17A: Operation Enduring Freedom Employment/Deployment: Lessons Observed". Lt Col, M. R. Shanahan, USAF 9 Dec 02. p. 29 "Airfield Conditions Due to severe FOD potential to the engines, crews were always guarded, especially in the AOR. Several key issues at these...

They forgot the props....CF6 high bypass turbofans....hmmm. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner...it'll suck the desert clean of all it's sand.

Thanks for the info. They should probably change the name of the document from "JTF2 Pre-selection Physical Fitness Training Program" to "Top Secret, probably won't give it to you if you ask" publication. Which also makes this quote from CANFORGEN 102/98 ADM(HR-MIL) 066 060952Z Oct 98 sound...

04 Jul 07 Docs still in Toronto for Air Factor. Talked to file manager this am, she says that DRDC Toronto, or at least the department doing the Air Factors has been/is closed for about a month to move. Go figure, send my file to a closed department.

I wonder if they've contacted this guy about the reserve helo pilot scheme...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRJbp1Uz64s

My medical docs went from the recruiting centre to Ottawa on 7 june, and were sent from Ottawa to Toronto on 15 June. Took a week to review and pass it along. My VFS took 4 months. I waited until Friday to see if I got my Air Factor, I'll call on Tuesday to find out. Next step from Toronto is to...

when i started upping my mile's in order to complete a 10k I had the same problem. My calves would got so sore and tight during a run that my right foot went completely numb. I did a 10k clinic at the running room and they taught us to stretch lightly at the beginning of a training run, then...

don't forget the murphy and political factor...both bases i've been on that had significant infastructure dollars input were closed....

the tan beret thing seems to go along the lines of the 1 SSF theme as well. We wore a winged dagger emblazoned "OSONS" I was told it meant "We Dare", go figure...SAS is a winged dagger...who dares wins.... I think command had a unique sense of one oneupmanship and competitiveness that is not...

Is this doc public or only available for hand delivery from the PSP offices?

There's a wiki on the CAR organization etc here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Airborne_Regiment seems to coincided with some of my foggy recollections.

Yeppers, 3 CDO's, each representing the three active infantry regiments. IIRC each CDO was about the size of a min strength rifle company.

When I was with the 1st Battalion, we pretty much figured the 3rd Battalion was ineffective anyways....seriously though, good point. Another reason to increase recruiting and bring the Battalion strengths back up again.
