We saw quite a few guys have their elements switched to get loaded on course, I wish the branch wasn't so bottlenecked for QL5 training. There are people who have been waiting for YEARS.

Going into Int has a pretty gruesome delay, but for me, my CFAT was on January 31st, and i walked into CFLRS on September 10th.

This. I don't believe Germany is currently stable enough to be making any heavy reforms to any part of their military system, let alone going as far as reinstating conscription considering how extreme the political poles are showing right now.

Reaching about the midway point in your application, following your interview you are required to sign some paperwork promising to follow the expectations of conduct, so even from outside all members and potential members are expected to follow a very high standard. The paperwork specifics...

I'm leaving on the 9th, going in for the week above you guys and I am terribly excited. If all goes well I'll try and pass down some first week tips for you lads, we'll all be in it together. I'm going in as an intelligence operator and BOY am I excited for the last third of the course lining...

From my point of view God should not be removed from O Canada. Not for any particular religious inclination, or the prevention of blasphemy or anything like that no, but because of history. There is a reason countries don't change their national anthems often. The long an anthem remains the...

Roller Derby was an absolute dream for me, much easier to get a good cardio workout than just running, and it's an amazingly engaging sport. Both myself and my younger sister have participated out here in the Fraser Valley, and the community is incredibly supportive of both honor, integrity, and...

The real problem with crossing your fingers on a summer BMQ is the hangup on file processing in Ontario following your medical. I'm in week 5 of waiting for mine, and while I have my fingers crossed on getting an email any day now, I know it could be another three weeks or more. So really, it's...

Canada really has some amazing soldiers throughout her history, back in my high school days I used Leo Major as a major inspiration to get myself in gear for my application I had planned for after graduation. Léo Major DCM & Bar (1921 – 12 October 2008) was a French Canadian soldier in the...

What I'd recommend is trying to make them see you're serious. Do your research, become knowledgeable about your roll in the CF and what it entails. Commit yourself, start an exercise regiment and prepare yourself for the Land Course meatgrinder, the more experience you have the better. Just...

Good post mgd122. The advice I'd like to give following my CFAT is that you need to teach yourself to think smart. You get time to come back to questions, but I got so stuck on the second last question that the timer cut me off before I even looked at the last question, and that free mark off...

Well good on you man! Enjoy the time you have before leaving, and squeeze as much physical training as possible into the time you have, short of course of inducing physical injury. Best of luck!  [lol: [lol:

The best advice of gotten from a CF Vet: Remember: Annoy the hell out of your Local recruiting center. If they can't forget your name, they'll be more concerned about getting you out of their own hair, which will have you moved through faster than the guy who pops his application down and...

Thanks all, much appreciated. I'll keep marching in mind, and perhaps I'll look into a new trade for my #3  ;)

Hey all, little tiny question. I fully expect everything to go smoothly as this is a professional setting, but I can't comfortably say that my height hasn't been a problem before. Will I get into basic and end up bumping my head on door frames? Will they have a uniform in my size? Can I find...

I really suggest looking through the CF's official FAQ list available here, it really is a wealth of information. Good luck! Dija

As far as age goes I imagine it would be constituted by the age of majority in Canada. 18 in most provinces, but 19 in BC and a few other places. I hit 16 and got myself a gym membership along with entry to a local conditioning program, remember that eating well and sleeping enough is just as...
