Personally, I used to stretch before AND after as that was how i was taught when I was a wee Cadet. Then a friend of mine who does triathlons  A LOT mentioned that he never stretches.... ever. But he is also one of those freaks of nature who can down pints and pints of guiness and then compete...

Oh man! LOL! I think I need to look in this a bit further. :nod:

I'm posted to Italy along with my wife who works for DFAIT. I got in touch with the recruiter and have since got everything squared away. Interest process though. Seems that there is an office dedicated to overseas applicants out of North Bay. Basically, the way it works is, you send all your...

Firstly, thank you for the prompt reply.... any and all feed back is most appreciated.  ;) Yes you're right.... my "demanding" experiences do not compare to something like body searches in silty rivers or under Ice. However To clarify, the NAv dive was not too bad and didnt freak me out too...

Training through the pain is what got me in trouble. I used to be a pretty hard core Cadet back when I was young and trained hard as hell then. During my early-mid 20's I partied more than trained and went through long bouts of in-activity followed by short "intense" periods where mentally I was...

LOL! Sorry... guess I got ahead of myself on that one.  ;D

HI all, I’m currently waiting for my trades to open up and Combat Engineer is one of them. I’ve been reading around the site some, and came to learn that Combat Divers are more or less the domain of Combat Engineers and not exclusively a Navy thing. I’ve always been interested in Combat Diver...

To the original Poster: COG, I once knew a guy, who like you came from money. Not sure if his folks were for or against his choice to join the Armed Forces, but he did, got his degree.... became an Infantry Officer....had himself a great career in the Army and then went on to become a very, very...

I second stealthylizard's comment about the treadmill! Im training up for BMQ right now and have a gym at the office...I also run in the park up the street. At first, I was sticking to the treadmill because the park is super hilly and has weird meandering trails and paths, so its hard to get a...

Yeah, Im starting to have to really think about how Im going to go about this.... Being Overseas complicates matters some what. I was hoping to get most of the important stuff squared away on our leave home in September, but it looks like 2 weeks will not be enough time,  no matter how organized...

Perfect! Thanks for the shove in the right direction ;D The help is most appreciated. JB

I had a feeling that that would be the case. However, it says "originals" on the website... will photocopies actually be accepted as genuine?

Can anyone tell me if my Sec. Clearance from DFAIT can be transferred to the CF? I know it is done with Private security firms when coming from Govt. jobs and am wondering if the same applies in from Civvie to military. The form is exactly the same as the one I completed for my DFAIT gig. Also...

I think I'll definitely call the recruiting centre. I tried to chat with a recruiter on line, but was told to go talk to someone (?!).  As for trades... Im not sure about anything. I have a clear idea of where I want to go, and will see what they say in terms of whats do-able and whats not...

I am a Canadian currently on posting in Italy with my Wife, who works for Foreign Affairs Canada. We're looking at coming home in the next year or so and the plan is settling down in the Ottawa region. My plan is to go reg force, as its been something I've been wanting to do for a very long...
