I got The Call for Artillery today, which I happily accepted. Swearing in on August 13, report to BMQ in St.Jean on the 17th. Between excitement, anxiety, and a little heartbreak... I have a hell of a lot to do to get my ducks in a row within the next month!! Yikes.

Hey Corbin. I feel ya buddy. Ive failed to "meet standard" many times applying to police services, and on the other hand, I have successfully 'met standard' many times too. For problem solving test questions, google "OACP practice test". Its not going to be exactly the same thing, but it will...

Hey, Ive been told that the CAF has called one of my references, so I messaged the other references that I used and they haven't gotten a call...yet. Does anyone know if checking a reference is a sign that an intake call is fast approaching? I wouldn't imagine that they would call references...

Good Luck to anyone, and everyone participating in this fight. I will email my MP now. And again tomorrow. And again the next day. This is awful. Keep your head up

Hi there, Im 28, just past the testing and interview now and waiting for a call for my options which are engineer/artillery/infantry... I started looking into it all about a year ago cuz there seems to be less and less jobs out there that offer adequate benefits, and retirement plan. Plus I...

Well that makes sense. Both points seem to be valid. Why not start with that information? I will take that into account from now on. I got knocked 300 points because of this. Seriously? Now that I understand that it'll be considered to be spam - I'll make the proper adjustments. Again, I...
