    VOT from NWO in PRes

              “Think about it, many people along with the organization will see your friend as showing a lack of commitment, especially considering he hasn't even attempted one of his phases yet  ” Yes, I’ve seen that attitude. But it’s not a matter of commitment, unless the Navy defines...

    VOT from NWO in PRes

    Actually, this NRD has a specialty officer trade that he is specifically qualified for, and can’t be filled by a NWO officer. And they allowed him to compete for the position. Once the selection process was down to two individuals, he was told that, although he was the better candidate, NavRes...

    VOT from NWO in PRes

    I have a colleague who wanted to go PRes Navy as an officer. The only trade he was offered by recruiting was NWO, although he learned later that other trades were open and he’s also qualified for them. He wasn’t told about the training requirements before enrolment, and not until after BMOQ...

    In that case, that tells me most of what I need to know about Ford. Thanks!

    Ontario Politics in 2018

    This is laughable. Trump respects women??? He is really good at running businesses into the ground and avoiding the consequences. He can, and has, been bought, many times. The way he conducts business is the absolute worst form of capitalism on earth. Yes, many women voted for him. But was that...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    While they didn't make the SH part of the election promise to not buy the F-35, when bringing up the premise that a fair competition would point to a better fighter for Canada's budget/needs, the example they always referred to was the SH. When you combine that with their new plan to sole source...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Just like the Chretien government did with the helicopters, Trudeau  campaigned on not only 'no F-35', but on buying the F-18E SH instead. No he's in, and has to do something to not lose face over what he campaigned on, and not violate fair competition rules in procurements ... how to do that...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    I suspect that the WD firm list will remain the same. One of the key criteria for the WD is the personnel requirement, which I read somewhere that they're looking for a ship with close to 100 complement... Half of the Halifax Class. It's not a coincidence that the hulls in the pre-qualified list...

    Lap-Band surgery prior to enrolment

    Would a prospective recruit who has a Lap-Band have an issue in the CFRC medical? (Either the questionnaire or the physical exam).

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    I thought I would post a follow-up to my original post in 2010. At that time, I did a second hearing test with an audiologist and was able to squeak by with an H3 rating. So my transfer was successful. Since then, my career has progressed and I'm now preparing for my next (final) career...

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    CombatDoc, Thanks so much for your insight. My plan is to do exactly what you've said. It's just nice to know that there is a chance of not being released. Keeping my fingers crossed....

    Hearing (Merged) Including Hearing Tests and Hearing Categories

    I'm hoping someone more knowlegeable about CF Medical standards can give me some advice here, or tell me I'm SOL. I've been serving in Class A Reserves for 27 years. First 7 years was in combat arms trades, last 20 years as a musician. I'm in the middle of a transfer, same trade/component in a...
