When my husband was at Borden, he was told that his intake was the last intake for PRETC. This was back in August 2012.

I forgot to tell you, they called today and said that they will be releasing the list next week. I asked her if me signing those release forms meant I got chosen, she said that  my papers being there is where I want them to be. She also said that they aren't telling people who are on the list...

I don't know what your financial situation is right now, but is it possible to pay things off or at least make payment arrangements. I was worried about this part too, as i had a few things in collections a few years ago. I had just finished paying off EVERYTHING 2 weeks before my interview and...

Is there anyone here currently awaiting for the next MPAC?

I like you lol. This and many other things really p**s me off about how many people get in and are so ungrateful for the opportunity they are given. I know I am digressing, but when my husband went through, he had at least 3 people get kicked off course from DUI's. Other were kicked off the...

Haha I only come to share my personal stories and opinions. I dont want to be the one to personally crush someone's dreams  :P

I sent my husband a parcel that contained 36 individual baggies full of candy lol. I only did it once since it cost me an arm and a leg. I also sent him pictures of our daughter and a father`s day card. They only had 5 minutes to eat their candy then it was taken away :( He never said anything...

I agree. It was tough simply because our daughter was only 7 months old. However, we both knew what we were signing up for before he left. Some days were harder. It was actually nice though to be apart, it really brought us closer together. It was even hard incorprating him back into daily life...

Lets agree to disagree  :nod: Lovely thing about non face-to-face communication is miscommunication  :-\ No arguments here and nothing taken personally :) You're obviously more educated about a lot of things in regards to the military. I just wanted to share some info of my own  :) Although...

I'm not the one that turned this into an argument. I retracted what I originally said. I incorrectly worded what I meant to say and I corrected that. FORCE is the testing that WILL eventually be taking place in BMQ, NOT IS ( which I've already apologized for the confusion). The only thing I...

You are right, I should have worded that differently. I apologize for any confusion  :sorry:

You're right, I don't know exactly when, I was simply saying it COULD start now or the new fiscal year. This is what I have been told by current serving members, who are both officers and have been serving for 30+ years. I have also been told this by the physical trainers at the Petawawa base...

Ha ha ya that's pretty much what he said it was like.

Why, because someone asked about the physical testing. I simply answered that this will be the new testing. It will either start in January or the new fiscal year. Regardless of when it starts, doesn't it make sense for those who haven't got the call to go to BMQ to incorporate this into their...

I'm pretty sure within the first week of my husband being there, he was told his head was getting shaved lol. It took a while to get used to it, but now I prefer it  :P

http://www.danieldickin.ca/2013/01/new-canadian-forces-fitness-test.html I don't know when this will take effect. My father in-law is a Sgt. and my uncle is an Officer, who have both confirmed they are changing it significantly. They want everyone to be able to meet the same requirements...

The reason I was upset was because it was rescheduled so many times, after I had already paid. Too many bookings, doctor on holidays, etc. I wasn't upset about the fact he couldn't sign before 90 days.

Modifying my post since I incorrectly worded it the first time :) Here is the new testing they will eventually be doing at BMQ, it's called "FORCE". I don't know the exact date this will take effect, just some info I have been given from numerous military personell.  Do as you wish with it :)...

yea my surgeon wouldn't even sign my papers saying my eyesight was stable until 90 days. I tried everything to get him to sign earlier. I was so angry because my original surgery was June 13Th, which would have given me a slight chance at getting merit listed in time for the October MPAC, but...

Be patient. Im on my twelvth month, and still have to go to a MPAC course. Next one is February, so if Im lucky Ill get that one. If not Ill be waiting until May. My husband, on the other hand, was a lucky SOB. He handed in his application last year in March and went to BMQ in May  >:( And he...
