Hi there Richard! My fellow Caper. Always good to hear from another islander. So you're from Donkin? You might remember Rev. Kevin Little, used to be at St. Luke's United years ago? He used to host a telethon I produced for the Glace Bay Food Bank on Seaside Cable around Christmas each year. Heck, considering your age, you may have even been one of the kids we had on our show once upon a time. Anyway, I am from Florence, (between Sydney Mines and Bras D'or), living in Marion Bridge for the past 14 years. I have a sister posted to Petawawa. She's in Afghanistan right now on her 2ND tour. Too bad our BMQ is weeks apart. Good luck with your trade Buddy!!

Holy snappers!!!  There are so many Navy recruits going to St. Jean this July!!!

I know there are quite a few ping bosns going (Sonar Op), a few NavComms (NAval Communicators) and there are a few Sig Ops for the army, but, just out of sheer curiosity, how many registered with this site are going in as WETechs? (Weapons Enginneering Tech)

WETech right here!!!  I swear in on Friday!!!  I am so stoked right now, I can't even sleep through the entire night...  it is so ridiculous right now...

Looking forward to meeting up with all of you guys and gals in St. Jean in July!!!

Cheers,

Rev

If what I've been told is correct, They will be swearing us in en masse, due to the amount of recruits being sworn in in Ottawa on Friday.  The local recruiting centre was not big enough.  I still have yet to be given a location for the ceremony, however, I do suspect that I will be informed of the location on Wednesday when I head to CFRC Pembroke to finish signing all of my paperwork and tie up the remaininng loose threads in my application.

Exciting times!!!  But don't worry, Stacked, I'll post a full play-by-play itinerary for whoever is interested.  But I will only tell you what I'm allowed to...

Cheers and good night, bud.

If you read through the CFLRS handbook it will tell you that you have to report to St. Jean no later than 8 pm on the Saturday before the course starts.  Basically, if your course starts on the Monday, July 11th, you have to report no later than 8 pm on Saturday, July 9th.

Here is the link for the handbook:  http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/menu/pd/bic-cib/index-eng.asp

Happy reading...
