Sorry Guys I guess I should have posted the link to the report. Engineering Trades Hope that works!

I just skimmed over a report done by a Maj. J. M. Rettie. I was about the death of the 640 trades and how the best and only thing to do is to start a militia construction "troop". Just wondering if anyone has read this or has any insight into the death of these MOC‘s.(I hope they don‘t...

I guess there is always more to consider. That is the great thing about these forums...others experiences. thanks

I am trying to get into a support service role. And I was hoping that I may have a better than average chance to do Peacekeeping. I guess its not the warm and fuzzy feeling I‘m looking for but more of a (sorry for this one) "making a difference" feeling. God I can‘t believe I typed that line :)

I guess I should have said, are all CF members considered Peace-keepers.

Thanks Graham. I had my application reopened recently and my trade, like I said, is now open. Last year I did my medical and app test. All went well but..since the trade was not open at the time I did not have and interview or fit test. I have been waiting. Sorry..I don‘t know what a merit...

Once an application is opened and the requested trade is open..what is the next step? Is up to me to call and call and call; or is the process already in action?

I have a problem as well. I can run and do sit-ups but I can‘t do many push-ups. When I work out should I target my tricepts? I read a thread about the CF push-ups being hard to do correctly and that tricept strength is a must. Any feed back is appreciated

funny how things go from underwear to something totally different in a matter of 4 or 5 postings!!!

Just wondering if the old saying is true "if it‘s not issued....it‘s not worn". Since I have worked construction I have found some good cold weather clothing (mostly unwear kinda stuff)and I have some CoolMax stuff for hot weather. Should I just leave this stuff at home. I know the idea of BMQ...
