Awesome news, bud!!!  Now don't do what I've done.  I've been sitting around too long, and I swear in next friday...  I leave for BMQ in a little over a month, and my PT is struggling at the moment... My advice to you, in this stage of your application, is get off of the couch and get moving. ...

Atta boy!!!  There is no such thing as "NO."  If you really want something bad enough, find a way to turn that "NO" into a "YES" and use it to your advantage. "No, I can't do that?  Fine.  What can I do?" It'll work all the time, mark my words. Good on ya bud, and good luck with your app. Rev

I believe the proper phrase is "You can't fix stupid."  But, then again, that doesn't mean people won't try...

You kinda feel like a douchebag???  I live near Ottawa!!!  If I could afford the trip, I'd be right beside ya, doing whatever I could.  We just have to accept that sometimes we can't do anything tangible.  I've been following this story ever since I found it on here.  Like I said, not too many...

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as well.  Let's hope that he is found soon, and, hopefully, unharmed.  I'm sure his family and friends are at wit's end right about now.  We are all praying for a happy ending. Rev

Some people have their strengths, and some people don't. :nod:  Let's try to keep this thread to any news about MCpl. Curnow and for wishes to his discovery.  :yellow: If we attack other people's comments, we do no good here. :facepalm: That's just my  :2c: Regards, Rev :salute:

I have been trying to find any information about this, but the Ottawa media has not really mentioned about it.  Are there any new leads?  Has he been found?  Is there any new information regarding the missing soldier??? I am nervous for him, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family as...

The Allen Carr book does actually work.  I used it about eight years ago and it helped me see why I was smoking and that I had the power to stop.  Check out the book if you can, borrow it from a friend, or go to your local bookstore and buy a copy.  It will pay for itself after the 5th chapter...

Well guys, it's official!!! Got my call today!!! I swear in for Weapons Engineering Technician on June 3rd in Ottawa.  The official swearing me in is none other than the CHIEF OF THE DEFENSE STAFF HIMSELF!!!  I am SO super stoked about this!!!  According to my recruiter, he hardly ever attends...

Well, bud, sorry to hear about the failure.  My suggestion to you, however, is that if any of those trades seem interesting to you, I would see if you can redirect your application to them.  Once you have been in for a while, and if you really want your original trade, I'm sure you would be able...

And if you guys get there and there is no shuttle, call a cab.  That's why they recommend bringing about $150 - $200 with you.  Keep your cab receipt and they WILL reimburse you.  It says so in the handbook.

Good point, Stacked, but my wife is expecting our first son on July 14th, so I think I'm going to leave her the car.  She doesn't have her licence, but anyone driving her to doctor's appointments and stuff can use my car.  I'll probably just take the train or the bus. Hell, I might just take...

Not exactly sure just yet... I might drive myself out (I live just outside of Ottawa) or I may await my orders at the Swearing in Ceremony.  I may opt in for the flight out on the Friday night/Saturday morning in order to catch the shuttle bus to the Mega... Guess we'll see when the time...

They've told me I got my primary request... Weapons Engineering Technician.  Was supposed to be NE Tech(S), butthey amalgamated all of the NE Tech trades with the NW Tech... so I'll take it anyways.  It's pretty much what I wanted. Now I figure I have 2 months to lose about 25-40 lbs.  I'm...

Well guys, I guess you can add one more to the July 11th BMQ... I called my recruiter today for an update and he told me that my offer and BMQ dates are set in the computer system, but it's not "official" until they call me either this week or next week.  He didn't seem to think it'd take to...

That's my train of thought as well, guys.  Well I hope that I don't have to wait too long.  I'm really excited about all my obligations being accepted.  Now I just want that phone call so I can get the ball really rolling. Good luck to all starting BMQ in April.  Hopefully I'll be getting the...

Just an errant thought... and maybe someone can confirm this for me... It seems that alot of the calls right now are for NCM-SEP... I'm going for regular enlistment, so I'm guessing that all the SEP trades are getting calls first, to ensure that they are through BMQ before their classes start. ...

There is a BMQ round starting on April 25th???  Is it just a rumour or is it true??? I'm hoping to get the call for either course in April, so this news would be awesome for me!!! Rev

Chief Tech, thanks so much for the info.  I called my recruiter today for an update on my file and he basically told me the same thing.  He said I had been selected for a Weapons Engineering Technichian position,  but that I hadn't made the merit list phase yet, and that I should actually be...

Wow.  Thanks for the info folks.  I think that this would play perfectly for me (should I make it past the merit-listed phase of my application) because the more I got to looking into the trades for my interviews, I found that I actually found the entire CSE Department to interest me.  Granted...
