I think you could arguably ask the same question about each one of the ships operating in the NATO fleet in the area at the present moment.  I think the point that is trying to be made is this:  "Look at all of our allies within NATO.  They are willing to be here to help us if need be." If you...

The training in Halifax is your academic and some of your application phases of your QL3 trade training.  I know of some guys who finished their QL3 applications out west, but had to do a couple of systems in Halifax because they didn't have them out west.  Whether or not this carries on over...

I'll echo NavyShooter on his info, and give you a bit more.  I just finished my QL3 in Halifax for W Eng, and in the first semester, the entire first week is dedicated to Math revision and review.  Also, the rest of the courses will start slowish, but pick up speed quickly.  If you find yourself...

You're quite welcome.  Glad I could help. Like I said before, you have to do what's right by you.  No one can tell you that except yourself (unless your wife has opinions about it...lol) I can tell you that, although there is truth to this line of thought, for the most part on the ships I've...

This seems to me to be a growing case of "A few rotten apples spoil the bunch".  Pretty much all of the sailors (and air force) I have had the pleasure of working / sailing with tend to control themselves with regards to alcohol consumption, this entire debaucle seems to me like a brewing pot...

I want to firstly wish you good luck in your application to the CF.  It is always a good day when someone decides to take the first step. Now, on to the meat and taters... If it were me applying, i wouldn't let those funky little NCM trades disappear into the night.  I have 3 close friends who...

Caller ID or not, they will definitely leave a message.  I can't remember if they emailed me or not.  I know they called me, and were leaving messages.  When I put my application in, however, I gave them my cell phone number so that I would never miss a call. Good luck! Rev

I have DJed a number of mess dinners for this Regt prior to joining the military, and although I did not know LCol Bobbitt personally, I would like to express my condolences to the family and the 2RCHA.  I know that the unit and the family will be supportive of each other, and I just wanted to...

Any idea if they'd offer this as a distance learning course or an on-line course?  I'm in Halifax right now, and not sure if there is anything around me here to offer the same thing.

Most of my old high school friends think that the Navy exists to assist the Coast Guard in SAR and FishPats...  Only when they see TOR and REG in the news for drug busts do they say "Oh, we do that too?"  :facepalm: If only they knew what we are supposed to be here for...

Which courses were they?  I wonder if they'd be available online, and applicable to more than just one trade...

I can see your college certificate helping you with a Prior Learning Assessment Review (PLAR), but I'm not sure how that would factor into accruing PER points for a promotion. Besides, you won't see a PER until you hit LS/Cpl anyways.  Promotion to AB/Pte(T) and LS/Cpl is usually time in...

I have to applaud the school for participating in such a honourable program.  This is definitely the sort of thing that needs to go on more often.  Just to think that some people will be eligible to get further training, and that the school will provide a scholarship to ensure that the majority...

As a VERY Jr member of the RCN (with only 3 years under my belt), I am at a loss for words to describe the feelings of confusion I have for this whole situation.  I was under the impression that something of this situation was to be dealt with internally, through the proper channels.  Is this...

To everyone who has posted on this line, and everyone after who reads it, please do not give up hope.  Some trades and jobs within the CAF take a while to provide any openings, and some can't even give their openings away.  I also agree that you have to ride the CFRC to ensure that your file is...

I'll echo the "Short answer - NO" sentiment, but I'll add a longer explanation, and a couple of options, having had something along the same lines as both your situation and the Original poster's question. It took me around 9 months to complete BMQ.  Between being out of shape when I got there...

And by then, berets will be army only, and every one else will be using ball hats, Air Force wedges or navy peak caps...  Unless we have some new futuristic headdress coming out soon...

Buddy, Take a deep breath, and worry about the things you CAN control...  like the standard of your ironing, or proper hospital corners...lol. Relax, bud.  You will be fine.  All you need is the chance to shine, and you should have no problem meeting your challenges head-on.  Just remember...

Yeah, my bad.  I forgot that there are rules, and that everyone follows them to the letter.  ::) Anyways, at BMQ, it won't really matter what you eat anyways, because you will lose so much weight being run into the ground with all the PT you're gonna do anyways.  I mean, I lost some serious...

Yeah, Mister Donut... If it's the t-shirts, you get those at QM If it's the DEU shirts, you get those at Logistik Unicorp. If your QM is giving you a hard time, tell your supervisor.  I had an OS at QM giving me a hard time and told my MS.  He subsequently told our CPO2, who called and said...
