    Bank of Canada: Recession is over (23 Jul 09)

    If you worked at the Bank of Canada you'd be employed by now.

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    My best guess is that the Trade Standard exists so that injured soldiers whose hearing is damaged (for instance) beyond the level of the enrollment standard but who could otherwise perform their job effectively are able to continue to make positive contributions to the Forces.

    Does being part of military make you 'right wing'?

    I think the issue here is that a CF member (in uniform, or at least identifying himself as a CF member) who may happen to hold radical views and gets himself into the mainstream media may "colour" the media's opinion of the CF as a whole. While it is entirely appropriate (and I would assume...

    DNDLearn

    I might be jumping the gun a little bit, but does anyone know anything about DNDLearn? There are only a couple passing references here on Army.ca, and the DND/CF website about it doesn't list much of note either. Since the courses are distance learning, can any member of the CF take them? And...

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    Unfortunately in cases like this the standard party line is to say "Go see the CFRC", and for good reason. Nobody here can hazard any more than a guess as to whether they'll accept you, and we don't want to give you incorrect or fanciful information which might dash or raise your hopes...

    Does being part of military make you 'right wing'?

    Unfortunately I can't claim to know enough about Communism and Socialism to dispute that; As far as the society controlling the means of production, I believe several governments have achieved that. As for the "egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership" that Wikipedia...

    Does being part of military make you 'right wing'?

    Is that not a false dichotomy? Genuine Communist and Socialist governments have lasted in various forms for and over many years; while they may not have been practical and certainly not stable in the long term, they were very real. They didn't call it the Iron Curtain because velvet was in...

    Royal Marines Fitness Training Tool

    Something else to keep in mind is that the "Training Tool" also features a downloadable version of the Beep Test, which I know several people have been looking for. I haven't checked to see if it differs from the CA/US version though.

    DIN/DWAN search

    Speaking of which, why did they take the CFAO's off? It was always interesting to read through them, when a Google search would pull one up.

    Communicator Research

    According to my recruiter, Comm Research requires your Grade 10, with a Recommendation for (Grade 12?) Physics and Math. Because I have Grade 12 College Math but no Physics that I was between a "Satisfactory" and "Ideal" candidate. Your mileage may vary. In addition, the chart I received from...

    Communicator Research

    Could anyone (of either Communicator Research or Sig Op, though preferably the former since that's what my application is for) tell me if there are any diplomas or degree programs that would be applicable to the work of a Comm Research operator? I'd like to earn a degree and/or a diploma while...

    What is the difference?

    I think there's some confusion here over the process. People in the Reserves are "part time Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen." As I understand it (and I'm a civilian so this could be wrong), you go to your Armory once a week for "Parade" and to perform your job. Edit: And you may also go on the weekends...

    Pushups- Try Reading Here First- Merged Thread

    I think a big part of it is the psychological motivation that comes with having a set number you "have" to meet in order to advance to the next day or week. The same (or at least a similar) effect occurs when you force yourself to do a certain number of pushups/situps/etc. within a time limit...

    How should I feel about my CFAT results?

    Benny, The CFAT is the same for both Enlisted and Officer trades, so (I'm guessing?) they have no idea what MOC a person has picked when they write it. As the CF ad(s) states, there are "over one hundred full and part-time opportunities."

    Taliban Zen: When is a suicide bomber not a suicide bomber?

    Weird. The website (alemarah1.org) has its WHOIS information blocked by a company called "PrivacyProtect.com", and Pings are not responded to, except for this little tidbit: The name servers translate the IP address (123.456.789.012) into a domain name (www.yourname.com), and are usually owned...

    'Did we push her too much?' Article on Major Michelle Mendes

    I don't think the article is really about the CF, as much as it is the life of Major Mendes. It seems pretty clear to me that she showed a pattern of going "above and beyond the call of duty", and took on more than some people (including herself) may have been able to handle. I would consider...
