Who thinks these things up???  ::) Any proper member of the CF will tell you that they don't care what their orders are, and that they will follow them.  But who honestly thinks this is an actual threat???  Doesn't the US have something more pressing to worry about???  Like, say, their...

If what I've been told is correct, They will be swearing us in en masse, due to the amount of recruits being sworn in in Ottawa on Friday.  The local recruiting centre was not big enough.  I still have yet to be given a location for the ceremony, however, I do suspect that I will be informed of...

Holy snappers!!!  There are so many Navy recruits going to St. Jean this July!!! I know there are quite a few ping bosns going (Sonar Op), a few NavComms (NAval Communicators) and there are a few Sig Ops for the army, but, just out of sheer curiosity, how many registered with this site are...

This is a very good question, and it affects more people than we realize.  I will also be a new daddy while I am away at BMQ in July.  Actually, it is so tight... I report in St. Jean on July 9th by 2000hrs, and my son is due on July 14th.  My wife keeps trying to find ways to go into labour two...

I think everyone's selection board is different.  Mine was in Otttawa, and I was told I should be getting a call sometime in April, but my call actually came sometime in May.  The recruiters can't say for certain when you'll get the call, but don't let that get you down.  IMHO if it takes the...

Awesome news, bud!!!  Now don't do what I've done.  I've been sitting around too long, and I swear in next friday...  I leave for BMQ in a little over a month, and my PT is struggling at the moment... My advice to you, in this stage of your application, is get off of the couch and get moving. ...

Atta boy!!!  There is no such thing as "NO."  If you really want something bad enough, find a way to turn that "NO" into a "YES" and use it to your advantage. "No, I can't do that?  Fine.  What can I do?" It'll work all the time, mark my words. Good on ya bud, and good luck with your app. Rev

I believe the proper phrase is "You can't fix stupid."  But, then again, that doesn't mean people won't try...

You kinda feel like a douchebag???  I live near Ottawa!!!  If I could afford the trip, I'd be right beside ya, doing whatever I could.  We just have to accept that sometimes we can't do anything tangible.  I've been following this story ever since I found it on here.  Like I said, not too many...

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as well.  Let's hope that he is found soon, and, hopefully, unharmed.  I'm sure his family and friends are at wit's end right about now.  We are all praying for a happy ending. Rev

Some people have their strengths, and some people don't. :nod:  Let's try to keep this thread to any news about MCpl. Curnow and for wishes to his discovery.  :yellow: If we attack other people's comments, we do no good here. :facepalm: That's just my  :2c: Regards, Rev :salute:

I have been trying to find any information about this, but the Ottawa media has not really mentioned about it.  Are there any new leads?  Has he been found?  Is there any new information regarding the missing soldier??? I am nervous for him, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family as...

The Allen Carr book does actually work.  I used it about eight years ago and it helped me see why I was smoking and that I had the power to stop.  Check out the book if you can, borrow it from a friend, or go to your local bookstore and buy a copy.  It will pay for itself after the 5th chapter...

Well guys, it's official!!! Got my call today!!! I swear in for Weapons Engineering Technician on June 3rd in Ottawa.  The official swearing me in is none other than the CHIEF OF THE DEFENSE STAFF HIMSELF!!!  I am SO super stoked about this!!!  According to my recruiter, he hardly ever attends...

Well, bud, sorry to hear about the failure.  My suggestion to you, however, is that if any of those trades seem interesting to you, I would see if you can redirect your application to them.  Once you have been in for a while, and if you really want your original trade, I'm sure you would be able...

And if you guys get there and there is no shuttle, call a cab.  That's why they recommend bringing about $150 - $200 with you.  Keep your cab receipt and they WILL reimburse you.  It says so in the handbook.

Good point, Stacked, but my wife is expecting our first son on July 14th, so I think I'm going to leave her the car.  She doesn't have her licence, but anyone driving her to doctor's appointments and stuff can use my car.  I'll probably just take the train or the bus. Hell, I might just take...

Not exactly sure just yet... I might drive myself out (I live just outside of Ottawa) or I may await my orders at the Swearing in Ceremony.  I may opt in for the flight out on the Friday night/Saturday morning in order to catch the shuttle bus to the Mega... Guess we'll see when the time...

They've told me I got my primary request... Weapons Engineering Technician.  Was supposed to be NE Tech(S), butthey amalgamated all of the NE Tech trades with the NW Tech... so I'll take it anyways.  It's pretty much what I wanted. Now I figure I have 2 months to lose about 25-40 lbs.  I'm...

Well guys, I guess you can add one more to the July 11th BMQ... I called my recruiter today for an update and he told me that my offer and BMQ dates are set in the computer system, but it's not "official" until they call me either this week or next week.  He didn't seem to think it'd take to...
