    Past Mental Health Issues

    I don't think you'll find a definitive answer here. The only way to find out for sure is to apply and deal with it when medical time comes. You will have your chance after the paperwork to explain anything of concern.

    Christmas is coming, post gift ideas here.

    A buddy let me try his the other day. They don't lie about 'subtle'. No way it would wake me, though I'm quite the heavy sleeper. Maybe there's settings for vibration, I just tried it once.

    1st Contact Email was never received.

    Just a heads up, the folks here in Ottawa usually take a week or so to respond to emails. Just an FYI so you don't think you missed something again! Make sure you add them to your contacts as well so it won't slip into your spam folder.

    The Mailing of documents in support of online application.

    Yea, you also applied for the two trades that seem to ALWAYS be full so that explains the long wait. Best way to get a hold of recruiters is to go right in there so they can't hide. Or hit redial 20 times a day. Anyways best of luck, hope you hear back soon!

    The Mailing of documents in support of online application.

    Did the second email tell you to contact your closest recruiter? For myself, the email told me to contact my local recruitment centre (Ottawa) and set up my CFAT. As for the documents, don't worry! They changed things earlier this year and no longer require you to send them anything. They will...

    Declining an offer (merged)

    I'll just drop my question here since it's related.. If an offer is declined, how does that affect future offers for the same occupation. For example, I have to turn down my #1 pick for valid reasons, am I able to be put back onto the  merit list down the  road, and will the original declined...

    Moore's Story

    Seems harsh! Understandable though. On my test day, a kid showed up to write the CFAT with no transcripts, AND he was supposed to write the test a week earlier. I was amazed they let him write it (though I'm pretty sure he failed anyways) By the way, congrats on the quick process so far! But if...

    Average day (or week or month or even a year) as a Combat Engineer

    As above, nobody will know the answer for you. I was told, as worst case, to prepare for 4-6 weeks away for every season. That could be all in one shot, or broken into 1 week at a time. Just gotta get through training and see what happens from there!

    Quick question

    II'm having no luck finding the References at the moment. Hers a few threads to help. Short answer is yes you can apply to transfer throughout your contract. However I'm not sure how it works if you wait until your contract is over. I'm sure someone will come along with more info...

    Wedding during training

    Thanks chimo! I known I could possibly be screwing myself over. After talking to my recruiter though, he seems very firm that I will be in/and likely candidate for selections before the end of the year. Not sure how strongly to believe that though. My hope is that if I don't hear by January...

    Wedding during training

    Thanks guys. After some thinking we've decided not to chance it, and to wait until the end of January. If I don't hear by then, then we will book the wedding. It means I'll have to turn down any offers between Feb and June, but I've been making the family wait long enough, so I can add a few...

    Wedding during training

    Well were trying to wait until I at least know when my bmq will be. I'm just wondering if it will even be possible after bmq, or if Ill have to break it to her that she will be looking at 2016 for a summer date.

    Wedding during training

    Hey everyone, I searched aroundbit could only find info relating to BMQ for the most part. I just got engaged and now my fiancé is in overdrive, already picking a date and all that fun stuff. We are both hoping that I will begin training soon, so I need info on time off during occupational...

    Pretty sure I missed today's selections (background check). Is it Too soon to know if there will be more Cbt Engineer selections this calendar year?

    How long does an application stay on hold for?

    I've been told that they advance applicants based on the selection dates.. Ie; They send 20 engineer applicants to BMQ, then replace them with the top 20 applicants awaiting further processing.
