Been considering OT for a little while. I am from Victoria and am getting tired of these plains. I have a wife and two dogs though and am just wondering, typically, how much time is spent at sea in a year? Trades considering (and originally on my application, but you know how it is) -Hull tech...

Got posted to CFB Edmonton and got my Q all lined up. It is the "J3" style, single unit, 3 bedroom. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can view the floor plans or layout to see how everything is going to fit.

I was just thinking about it the other day. Is there a guy with a set of keys? Or is it a simple On/Off button?

Post your experiences or knowledge of what it's like starting a new position in the military. ie. I understand that for the first year or so of Hull Tech you are pretty much only dealing with the plumbing and "crappy" stuff. Other trades I have applied for are Combat Engineer and Vehicle...

For those of you who haven't heard of the series "Surviving the Cut" I strongly suggest checking it out. There is an hour-ish episode for each of about 5 or 6 American special forces trades. A great watch. Get's me pumped everytime I see it. I'm quite sure that you can find them on youtube in 4...

Sorry if this is explained somewhere already but I haven't been able to find the information I'm looking for. I'm just wondering how far one can go as an NCM. I understand that Chief warrant officer is at the end of the road, but that brings up a new question. Chief warrant OFFICER? Will you...

I work with a Vet. and he still has his buddies in the military. He heard through his source that they are incorporating "soccer-like' yellow and red cards? Apparently if the guy bossing you around is getting on your nerves you pull out a yellow card and stick it right in his face to convey the...

Just a thought. What're the chances of being allowed to have some sort of helmet-cam so I can have a video of my experience to show my friends and family when I return home? I suppose I understand the whole "could take the video and show the Russians our top secret training excersises" aspect of...

April is coming up and I've spent over a year on the "merit list", so things are looking promising. When I applied I was not allowed to select Combat Engineer, now I see that they are accepting applications for the trade. Can I drop one of my three choices and replace it with Engineer and not...

My phone just rang and the caller ID was a number I was all too familiar with, the recruitment center booking and testing clerk! I am merit listed for almost year now, my heart was racing! This is it! I made it! "Hi this is corporal so-and-so" "ack, he-hello?" -phone cuts out "he**o th** is...

Hey guys, So I'm just browsing the recruiting forums once again, still as commited and excited as ever. I applied and was merit listed April 2011, there was a chance I could've gone to October 2011 BMQ but it didn't happen, so I'm just continuing my life in the meantime. I went down to the...

  I am merit listed, waiting for the big selection in April 2012. I was told that they were saying in the news that the CF is closing a lot of bases and are cutting way back on recruiting. Is this true? What's the story?

After a year of thought I've decided combat engineer is the thing for me. Now, ncm or officer is the real question. I do not have a bachelor's degree. I do, however have math 12, eng 12, Phys 12 and Chem 12. Am I eligible for ROTP as an engineer officer and will the CF put me through a...

Hey guys and gals. It doesn't look like I get to start this year. But that's OK. I'm going to take this as a positive and use the time to really refine my trade choices and upgrade my application. Congratulations to all of you who were selected, see you soon. It's been difficult for me to slim...
