I'm currently a Pte untrained looking for info on transferring to Officer. I did 2 years towards a BA before joining the military and have been in for almost 3 years. I want to know if it's possible to OT to an Officer trade and finish my degree or should I look into other NCM trades. Thanks for...

I'm on Warrior right now so I'll answer some of your questions. First, the new platoons coming in April will be doing the FORCE test which is pass/fail so if you fail that and the retest, you get released from the CAF so you probably won't need to worry too much about going to W. Right now you...

Does anyone know if they sell Head & Shoulder shampoo or some other anti-dandruff shampoo at the Canex? I don't want to be all flaky during indoc lol.

I got that same sheet of paper when I got sworn in yesterday so it looks like it's real. I guess there isn't a sandbag lift though, just the drag.

So it looks like we won't have to do the Express test if the info in this thread (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/113380.0.html) is correct. This is the new test we might be doing...

4 techs now, I'm on the 20 Jan BMQ too! I'm going into Ammo Tech.

That's a pretty good idea about Boxing Day, are there any other times of year that have block leave too? We've postponed the wedding a couple times already so we're not strangers to that lol. I've been in the recruiting process for almost 2 years now but that's mostly because of switching my...

Had a question for my recruiter after my interview for Reg Force but he didn't know the answer and said he would get back to me but I figured I'd try here as well. I'm going to be married on 1 Sept 2013 and that will more than likely be right in the middle of one of the courses I'll be taking if...

So I'm now preparing for my interview and am gathering as much information together as I possibly can about the Combat Engineer trade so I at least sound like I know what I'm talking about haha. I have a ton of links and information already as I've been researching for the past year but I...

I can't answer all the questions you have but I'll answer the ones I know from experience. When I first applied in June 2011 it was to the Reserves. Circumstances and desires changed a few months later and I decided I wanted to switch my application to Reg Force so I contacted CFRC Vancouver (my...

Thanks lethalLemon! I had forgotten about that document! Hahaha awesome TN, I didn't know there was a movie, gotta get a copy of that somewhere. I doubt my interview will be before March 5th since I'm still waiting for a call to set up the interview but let me know how yours goes lol. I've...

I've been searching for the last half hour trying to find something that would help me prepare to interview for combat engineer but I haven't been able to find much other than some references to an engineer thread, does someone know where this is? Hell if I can find it and it's starting to annoy...

Thanks for the replies guys! I phoned CFRC Vancouver and the Cpl I talked to told me that I would only have to redo the CFAT if I apply for an occupation that requires a score higher than what I got which is a relief, I've never had to do a timed test before so I was a bit nervous about not...

As some may know from my previous threads I've applied to the Reserves for the Supply Technician trade, I've done the CFAT, medical, and interview and passed them all with flying colours. I haven't done the physical test as I'm not happy with my push ups yet but they're being worked on...

Well just to bring a bit of closure to this thread I figured I'd reply and let everyone know how it went. Yesterday I did my CFAT, Medical, and interview. I scored high enough on the CFAT to be eligible for pilot which is awesome, even though I'm going in for SupTech lol. I passed my Medical...

ok thanks! Can I just tell them the numbers? My prescription is still in Nova Scotia and I'm in BC lol

I just quickly read through this thread hoping to gain some insight on what to expect for my medical on Wednesday and there is a lot of good info here. I do have one question though, I wear glasses (not strong, I'm near sighted) and I know that my visin is fuzzy after I take them off. How long...

ok thats put me a bit more at ease, though I'm still going to keep training like I have a fitness test in a few days. I've done a lot of research into each of the muscles used in the push up, whether its used ascending or descending, the primary and secondary muscle groups, etc so I'm good for...

Hey, so I applied to the Reserves in BC in June and have an interview and aptitude test set up for the 21st of this month (which just happens to be my birthday coincidentally). I was wondering, will they do the physical test then as well? I've been preparing myself since I applied, have quit...
