Recruiting units must ensure that applicants who will undertake any initial MOC course that requires Basic Driver Training (BDT) as a MOC pre-requisite has a valid civilian (fully graduated) drivers license (i.e., 052 LMN, 215 SIG OP, 227 LCIS TECH, 411 VEH TECH, 421 WPNS TECH (L), 434 FCS TECH, 441 MAT TECH, 651 FIRE FTR, 737 MED TECH, 811 MP (861 COOK and 911 SUP TECH are under discussion)"

While as many of you may know, we in recruiting are not infallible and can make mistakes from time to time, albeit very seldom.  It seems that the requirement to have a fully graduated license to apply for some MOCs had changed and it was not passed down to the pointy end.  The only two trades that now require a driver's license before applying are MP and Med Tech.  However, if someone did have a driver's license and was applying for any trade then that license has to be clean with no outstanding fines or tickets.  The main confusion was between what an eligibility requirement was (i.e., age, education, etc.) and what was an Enhanced Reliability Check requirement (i.e., no outstanding fines or convictions, etc.).

For those I may have slightly pissed off about this issue, I humbly offer you a cup of tea.

kincanuks:

I, for one, am glad to learn that you are, indeed, a human being.

For what it's worth - folks around here may need to remember that while you are providing much great information and advice, the site is an "Unofficial site, not associated with DND." - says so right there at the bottom of every page.  The site is not a "back door" into the official CF world.  In that light, your error, while perhaps unfortunate, is not a big deal.

Please keep doing what you do so well, kincanucks - watching you on this board makes me glad that I was NEVER offerred a Recruiting billet during my career (I don't have the personality for it anyway - far too volatile - shouldn't be allowed out in public unescorted.)  My respect for you Recruiters (already fairly healthy) climbs whenever I watch you in action here.

So then, if I were applying as a Sig-Op or an LCIS Tech, would having a driver's license make any difference as opposed to not?  Not just for recruiting, but once in as well?
 
Hmmm - Kincanuks never makes mistakes. He actually PRETENDED to make one to lull you all into a false sense of superiority and relaxation. Only to pounce on you all like the lean cougar he is....

He is NOT a human being. He is the "Recruit-inator" Sent back in time from the NDHQ of the 2100s to find Sarah Connor and recruit her offspring to create a dynastic family ultimately to produce.... Himself!

Can I have some tea and finger sandwiches now Kincanucks? Maybe a nice poetry reading? I saw a maple the other day, and I just HAD to hug it.

;D

 
Wow...Glad this is a website...else I'd be ducking all the stuff that Kinkacnucks is liable to throw at you for the above narrative! ;D

All in good fun :salute:

Slim

Sweet Mother of all Good Gods man!  You don't need a driver' s license to join as a Sig Op or LCIS Tech but if you want to be a normally functioning human being perhaps you should have one.

Take a deep breath.....count to 3.....release !!

Everyone knows that having your driver's license gives you a better chance of getting in............provinces give out licence for M113/MLVW/LSVW/ etc... right ?  ::)

My freind..you and i are the only 2 people keeping the tea industry going.

I always have a pot ready for times like these...........orange pekoe OK ?
 
Ohh I say! I have some lovely granola to go with those sandwiches, whilst we discuss the merits of Bob Rae, Stephen Lewis and other tree-hugging, granola crunching, poncho wearing, sandal sporting, left-leaning, com-symp, party apparatchiks...

(Kincanucks tosses a boot to the plums my way....)

Ow. I have a drivers license!!!

I think my wife and I are helping the industry as well. We get Red Rose and Tetley shipped down by relatives all the time - we go through about a pot a day. There is Red Rose here but it's mixed orange pekoe and black, just not the same. Don't accuse me of bashing!! The wife is the tea snob  :)
 
Sigpig,
In this case, bash away. I will bring my own bags if I venture that way again some day also.

...not to mention how stupid one feels ordering a "hot tea". :-[
 
Boooo, tea! I'll stick with a specialty coffee. French Vanilla, Irish Cream or Hazelnut will do.
Would you like a crumpet with that?  ::)
 
This thread is...                            odd. :-\
