Er, yeah. That would have been a good idea. This question is mostly answered. If a mod comes by, they could delete this thread.  ::)

I am aware of the difficulty. It has to be a green trade, there has to be a surplus in my trade and a lack in the one I want to go into, it has to be in the best interests of the Forces, though as I understood it's more of a numbers/waiting game than a "stuck forever" game. Then again, spending...

Before another member posts with the wonderful multicoloured boilerplate (which is indeed a good thing; take it to heart and read it all, please!), I'll tell you this: you should probably do a search. I did a quick Army.ca and google search and pulled up the following links: Training for the...

Yes. With the exception of weekdays, and the Christian and Jewish Sabbaths.

If I knew I wouldn't have said it :) I'll say right now that I used "BE" to mean "contract"...I actually have no idea what it stands for, and as it's only two letters long the search wasn't much help. (The initial contract is 3 years, right?) P.S.: As I haven't stated what I wanted those...

Would anybody be interested in a web-based interface that pairs a search with hand-picked "question/answer" form results that are ballooned to the top? Similar to the "relevancy" calculator but picked by humans to ensure if you're searching for "length of BMQ" that you can be sure your question...

I didn't even know the CF allowed people to become PA's. Neat! A lot of colleges will give you PLAR for your CF experience as well, and then after you've done a few courses you can transfer to University and get a degree. It's a bit more work but it will leave you with a practical diploma, a...

Thanks. My best bet looks like going in as another trade for my first BE and then trying to remuster in 3 years after getting the prereqs out of the way and all that jazz.

Thanks for all the (support?) I know my parents will be proud of me on graduation day; I'll be printing/mailing the stuff to the CFRC, and I'll present my going there when I need too. They had 18 years to challenge my career choices (which are numerous and varied.), it's my turn now. Now, if...

For the record, I did consider the bus. I can take a GO into my local CFRC and back. Making the bus match my schedule is an entirely different point. As for the friends, they're as against me joining as my parents. Even a PPLCI'er out of Wainwright.  :-\ Edit for typo.

You know, I never thought of taking a cab! Whether it's reimbursed or not, that's a good idea. As for family distrust, I'm pretty sure most parents' impressions of the Canadian Forces come from watching Vietnam War movies about the US Army in the 80s.

I appreciate that advice. I'll make some phone calls tomorrow and see what I can do.  :salute: *Milnet.ca staff edit for site policy*

My parents are adamant about my not joining the Reg Force (or the PRes, for that matter.) Same old party lines. They think I'll be deployed and shot at, and that I can't pass the fitness evaluation, and all that stuff. They just don't listen. I'll be turning 18 in approximately two hours, and...

Ah. I wondered why this was. I used to remember being able to view profiles but when I came back recently I was unable to. Thanks for the heads-up.

I see. Thanks for the heads up guys!

I hate to ask another question but I have searched about this one and I doubt it's that common an answer. I DO realize I need Bio and one of Chem/Physics for Med Tech. I DO realize I need those because they're a requirement for the PCP training in BC. I DO realize that if I have some kind of...

Well, basically that's what I'm saying. If we take the information available in DB #1 (Milnet.ca) and then we clean it up (remove non-question/answer material) we've acheived the desired result. However when someone says, "What's the average length of time from application to BMQ?" they may have...

Yes, they do. I just went over to GoArmy and checked it out (you know, they REALLY push the Army over there. Makes me wonder how many soldiers enlisted on a glamourized view of things.) http://www.goarmy.com/ChatWithStar.do# Example of a conversation with said Virtual Recruiter (Gomez was my...

Well, that's kind of what I was getting at. The information available is staggering. If we could distill it down to answers for the most common questions, then we might be able to save a whole lot of searching and posting as such. There are, but in retrospect those posts were never intended to...

This idea has been floating around in my head, I thought I'd get the community's opinion about it. It's not difficult from a technical standpoint, but wheter it would serve any use is a different matter. Basically, the idea is to have a computer program that takes all the knowledge gathered on...
