"I'm not an ******* because I like being' an *******. I'm an ******* because I like helping' youngsters reach their potential." You should really be awarded the medal for motivational speaking. If only there were more of you in our recruiting centres, or better yet, our public school system...

Thank you MDH, I was able to track down the one you were referring too. Here is the link for those who are also curious: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/21561.0.html As per Pipers comment, well there could be a hint of validity to what you are saying, but it is also the shroud of mystery...

Since being interested in the CF as an Officer I have been waffling back and forth regarding the occupation that is a right fit for me. I have narrowed it down to two, namely MARS Officer and Armour Officer. However, I have learned that upwards of 40-50% of Mars Officers will never make it, due...

I just thought this would be an interesting thread for those hoping to be in the NAVY. I,m going to be applying for MARS soon, but right now I,m running the Hire-a-Student in Medicine Hat..... anybody need a summer job (I have a few for ya). ::)

Just go to the recruiting website, then find the MARS MOC. just click on the video, high or low resolution..... should work then. I've notice that the site has been down allot, so just give it another try.

Okay, so for the last couple of years I have had ambitions to join the Canadian forces as a MARS officer. I currently have a degree, which (unfortunately) is in religious studies. However, I am now working on my second degree which is in management, of which will be completed in December (2005)...

There is a new promotional video on the DND website, it's pretty good. www.recruiting.forces.gc.ca/engraph/navy/jobs_e.aspx

While the recent budget allocates an additional 12.7 billion extra dollars over the next five years seems good, I'm not sure how much of that could be used towards tactical airlift.  It seems that the federal government will only spend $2.7 billion of that money between 2007 and 2010 to be used...

In reading the 2005 budget (on the DND website) I noticed that they were going to be spending just over 3 billion to hire 5000 regular force and 3000 reservists over the period of 5 years. If you work that out it's like 1000 regular force required per year; I think that is about 3 or 4 times the...

I have to agree with you mdh, I check this stupid site like 20 times a day, it's just a little too addicting. Well, I guess it's 20 times better than writing this stupid paper I'm working on.   :-\ We should start a support group for people who need to stop read all these aimless posts and get...

I was watching the National tonight on CBC and they were talking about how they were not able to send D.A.R.T to the nations stricken by the tsunami(s) because the cost was too high. I have to say that I was a little pissed off by that. What is the point of having a disaster recovery team when...

Thanks people for the input into my problem. Last night one of the fellows in the house sat the guy down and talked to him about raising a dog, and how beating him does not necessarily make him more obedient. So hopefully this guy got the message and won't do it again, but if it persists any...

Okay, so I have this problem and I wanted to see what others had to say about it. Keep in mind that this is completely off topic, but bare with me. So my girlfriend lives down the street from me in this house with other university students, one of which is the owner of the house. The owner has a...

"LOL ... not that hard when you know how to drive and the same is true with MARS.. when you think about it like driving a car with one hand on the wheel, one hand holding a big mac, listening to music and talking to your friend in the passenger seat ..." I love the analogy, that's great!

JRR, were you able to do your second language training in Esquimalt, and not St.Jean?  :cdn:

spend some time and read through this web sight, i think you will find the answers to all those questions www.recruiting.forces.gc.ca/engraph/home/index_e.aspx?bhcp=1

I'm doing a presentation in one of my management classes on the topic of intranets and I came across this article which discussed the launch of the largest intranet in the world (the US army) Apparently every soldier, vetran, and brass alike can have their own email and possibly a website. There...

Hey I just wanted to ask a quick question for someone in the know. I was wondering if anyone knew who was in charge of running and operating the light armour vehicles such as the Lav 3's. I ask this because when i was on the recruitment website it looked as though the Armour officers were mainly...
