Is there anything you would have done differently? (i.e. gone to school before serving, waited until a greater age to join, retiring sooner, etc?)

I understand where you are coming from completely, as I currently have an application in as well. I will be applying to and attending college until I get "that call" and will make my decision to leave for BMQ when it arrives, as that is my overall goal. However, I will not just sit around and...

I understand that obviously there is only so much you can go on due to the possible variance in the science itself. I was more or less interested in the idea that was initially portrayed. Yes the idea of the zombie or loose cannon is a disturbing and interesting one, I agree. I will...

Wow really? I will peruse to see some of this. I likely will not be able to get through too many as that is just ridiculous.

To answer your question I have 4 things: 1) Yes, that is the CFAT. The same information is on Forces.ca as well. 2) There are many threads about the CFAT. If you want to get such information from a specific person, PM them. It will save you hassle about "not reading or searching" and prevent...

Glad to hear it! Good luck! :)

Okay that is fair enough and reasonable comparison that I will agree is justified. Again a justified comparison. Unfortunately the latter is certainly true as well. Luckily, my family members are more aware of the reality but I have had to try and debunk those theories among others. I...

Duly noted. That I will submit to. Unfortunate but true, especially with the sites/blogs you mentioned as they give extra information on what the signs and symptoms. When you explain it like that it makes sense, albeit is unfortunate that this is done. I know the military is trying to move...

I am interested on what you are basing this statement off of. While, I agree some people nowadays claim ADHD when they do not pay attention, is it not reaching a little to say it is the same with PTSD? Not arguing, I am asking. Also, are you implying (or stating) that psychologists are handing...

It is very unfortunate that PTSD has become some kind of poster board as you seem to be saying. Not sure if it could be argued that people are simply uneducated about mental health or if PTSD is simply an easier story to write about. While the former is certainly true I tend to lean toward the...

Oh okay that makes good sense. Thank you for the clarification :)

DAA is this accurate? After my medical - which was actually the same day as my interview - they told me I could not be merit-listed until AFTER Ottawa's approval. Edit to add: Never mind, I saw the below. It does bring up another question though: what exactly does "recommended" mean in the...

You referring to the time to be selected? Obviously that varies :P ;)

Eh?

Read this: http://www.rmc.ca/adm/pp-mep-eng.php 75 is the official "minimum" but unless you have OUTSTANDING extracurriculars that will not get you in. Don't focus in the minimum. Work on getting the best marks you can as well as volunteering and extracurriculars.

Fair enough. PS: Nothing negative meant by "madness", simply using an expression.

Are there particular times in the year they would hire on more people out of the recruiting numbers than others? Simply a question of interest since not all spots are given out on the first selection date. Or would that imply a method to the madness? :)

Sorry to hear that man! Good luck for next year!!
