I keep hearing about how fragile the situation between Israel and Iran is, and it makes me question how much more each side can take before all-out war is waged. Granted, diplomacy may prevail, but as of yet, this does not seem to be the case. I recall reading some articles about Canada's...

Good read. I'm glad the new(ish) regiment is keeping busy overseas. P.S.: Thanks for introducing me to the website; lots of interesting stories for me to have a look at now.  :salute:

If I'm not mistaken, the hiring dates differ from unit to unit, so your best bet is to call them and ask what dates are optimal for applying for next year's courses.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I stumbled upon a trade that interests me and complements computer science. I shall call the local CFRC tomorrow and start the application process for it. Thanks, PuckChaser! :salute:

Hey everyone, I have an application in with the local reserve forces. I had applied for an officer position, but I did not do as well on the interview as I had hoped and did not get chosen. However, I'm not giving up on my endeavour to become an officer in the Canadian Forces. That said, the...

I may have to. Although I do not like the idea of cancelling it, the reserves would be an excellent opportunity to continue upgrading my education while getting some related experience. :salute: Edit: Also, the reserves would allow me to get a degree while working at the same time. Seems like a...

Update: I did my interview today with an awesome Captain at CFRC Oshawa. He told me that, compared to other applicants, I probably would not be considered competitive enough to make it into the NCM-SEP program. I went to a presentation tonight for the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, and I...

Update: The CFNRC sent my files to the local CFRC, and I got a phone call today to book my medical and interview. :camo: Recruiting Center: CFRC Oshawa/Peterborough Regular/Reserve: Regular Officer/NCM: NCM-SEP Trade Choice 1: ATIS Tech. Trade Choice 2: Trade Choice 3: Application Date...

After submitting my documents, it only took them a couple of days to process it and tell me they were sending my file off to the closest CFRC.

Great photos. Old WW2 memorabilia and the such is fascinating to look at.

Slight change of plan regarding entry: I have decided to pursue an NCM-SEP position instead of the ROTP. I will likely still attain a degree, for one can never have too much education. Hoping I get merit listed in time for numbers to be released. :) I have mailed copies of my transcripts and...

Perhaps I am wrong in this response, for I am not in the Canadian Forces yet: Could he have been yelling at you because he cared? If one makes a mistake and nobody yells, it may be because they do not care. You say you performed valiantly in every test but weapons handling; that demonstrates...

The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment in Peterborough, Ontario. The person I talked to on the phone seemed very approachable and answered all of my questions.

Hey everyone, Long time lurker, minute poster, but I figure I would create a thread regarding my current application with the Forces. A little about me: I am in a university transfer program at college, and will be attending year two of university in 2012. I do not have a plethora of...

1:17. The guy on the far left has a neat laser. Seems noobish to say that, but I thought it was kind of cool. :camo: edit: removed parentheses. Also, it seems weird to make a YouTube channel for a special operations unit. Are they hurting for recruits?

Good luck! It is not exactly a test you can study for. The best resources to use are probably the sample test on the forces website. Other than that, all I can say is broaden your vocabulary as best you can. :camo:

Got a call today for an ROTP interview and medical (current medical expires in January) to take place on 17 November. Time to educate myself on what it means to be a leader. :camo: edit: I suppose I will add this in. Recruiting Center: CFRC Oshawa/Peterborough Regular/Reserve: Regular...

Sent my application in for ROTP two weeks ago. Got a call from someone in the forces (not certain if he was a recruiter or not) the very next day telling me to print and complete the ROTP questionnaire; which I did. I had originally applied for MPO, Armour O, and Infantry O, but he said with my...
