People do funny things when they are grieving and dont always make the best decisions. Even though your mental state effected your physical abilities your going to have to perform the PT test during your application process at your own cost than do the same pt test 6 months later to show...

Why does everybody that dosnt know what they want to do with their life turn to the military? It's actually kind of a peeve of mine hearing this from people. The military is not a " well I didn't know what else to do " kind of career and I know you said you've been thinking about it for 2 years...

A 5d is an honorable discharge its just an undesirable discharge and you'll probably spend the next better half of the year fighting it regardless of the reasons it was given to you.

Im going to start by saying im not clear on med tech training so my response will be more geared to the lines of you applying for a C.E position. If relocating all over canada isn't for you than neither is the reg force, Once you completed your BMQ ( 12 weeks...well 14 really if you include...

Why the big rush? Combat engineer is highly competitive right now, not finishing highschool will have a big impact on your application when it comes around to the selection process, It up to you but obviously the more education you have the better off you will be. Even if you applied today...

It will not matter either way since they wont process your file till the allotted time is up.

The subsidized education plan only covers programs that directly apply to the trade your applying for I.E there not going to pay for your law school if your not going to be employed by the CF as a lawyer.  Since your in university appying for an NCM trade chances are they're going to tell you...

I wouldn't worry about your BMI,  I'm 5'5 and typically weigh in around 150lbs according to my BMI I could loose a few pounds but according to the trainer I weigh in with im less than 18% body fat and shouldnt loose any of them.  Dont let a scale tell you your fat and dont worry about the BMI if...

I got August from a few members on the board as well as working at DND I've heard some things on the matter which was reaffirmed (or at least in my head) when I spoke to my file manager on Monday to make sure all my paperwork was in order and he said I was fine but even if I wasn't selections...

May/June for C.E? I've heard from a few people engineer selections arnt untill August? anyone else hear this? Also, just curious, you mentioned switching to reg force because of C.E, why didnt you want to work as a crewman in the reg?

Combat engineering is very diffrent from Infantry, Do not put it down just because it is combat arms.

180 days or not, the 153 days you are spending in China will have take it's toll on your application. I was planning a little while back to go spend some time in New York with my sister and when I asked my recruiter about it he cringed and warned me it could effect my security clearance, that...

l That's exactly it. My favourite quote from this site has to be " the CF does not owe you a job" You could get merit listed tomorrow and it could still be months befor you were made an offer if they made one at all. Recruites compete against each other (so to speak) to get a spot,  if your...

Based on something I had said that you misunderstood and I wanted to clarify

I was not implying that these men are spending hours a day in the gym in order to raise the bar for women, but more often than not these men are spending hours a day in the gym working on there own personal fitness which means they are most likely exceeding the male standard and she should as...

Congratulations on doing well enough to be considered "competitive", Infantry has been highly competitive in recent years and I wish you the best of luck getting an offer come June, just go's to show that interviews and medicals are nothing to worry about when your prepared. That said...

Side note, since your never actually told your score there is no way of knowing wether you just barely or exceeded the requirements for your trade, if you pass be happy and move on, there are better ways to make your application stand out than retaking your CFAT with hopes of a better score It's...

For those of you who think if she loves him she can just pick up teaching anywhere you must not realize that teaching jobs (especially permanent ones) are not easy to come by, If your gf has a permanent position I wouldn't recommend she gives it up to travel the country with you, She probably...

My recruiter told me that there changing the CFAT format in April,  It will be the same test generally but there adding a new section of questions, so come april any of our responses could become irrelevant, you should talk to a recruiter.  At the very least they'll be able to give you a handout...

It wouldn't be a break, it would be a 4 year commitment, so its important that you take it seriously and think about the impact it will have on your life. The aptitude will produce a list of jobs the CF deems you eligible, so its fair to say it holds allot of weight. If you don't qualify for a...
