Hey Pat, I'm am presently waiting for a call with a job offer as an Ed-tech.  I am a journeyman electrician.  I've worked for 15 years in all sorts of environments.  I now at the ripe age of 40, have decided to join the CF (something I have always planned on doing and now I have the...

So once you are selected by a board, does that mean that the process is finished and you just wait for the offer?  Is it possible not to get an offer after you have been selected by a board?  While your waiting for an offer, are you required to keep your PT tests "up to date"?

How about a blast from the real past..COLECOVISION!  Only the aged will no what that is...was.

Thanks all!  I'll pass this info along; actually I will give her the site address and let her read for herself. Another member in the making.

Which week of BMQ do you do the express test?

Thanks Armymedic, you've answered my question.

TCBF, That is hilarious I'm still laughing as I'm typing!!!!

How's things going Alex. Haven't heard from you lately. Hope everything went well.

Paracowboy, "Once you decide if you want to serve your country and become a Citizen as opposed to a Civilian, you'll change your focus." That is a great line :warstory: That should be on a recruiting poster

So from what I have read, and correct me if I am wrong, the CF medical is a Blue Cross plan?
