We had a guy that was 1.5hrs late for duty once.  He was giving a drive to 2 other members from about 3 hrs away and one of them was a shytepump and "Didn't hear his alarm" after a hard night drink. He got a $600 fine and extra duties.

Step 1: Stop going into the isles of the grocery store, shop the outside only.  Its where all the fresh non packaged goods are. Step 2: Learn to cook all those raw ingredients. Step 3: Sell your Video game machine and Go outside and play sports, hike, walk, etc. :-)

You are the same height as myself and only "out weigh" me by 4lbs. Work on your fitness, your weight is not the concern overall. I know lots of guys that are built like squares and on the "bmi index" are overweight, but they are FAR from it. I also know people that are right bang on their...

I had it as second choice, but have prior service in my 1st choice so it was a non-issue. I've heard it's competitive since there are very few in the CF right now.

Thanks everyone! It's an amazing feeling to be able to see the end of the tunnel, and the start of the adventure! I'm a DEO LogO but I'm not sure what posn I'll be filling yet in Comox. As an avid mountain biker, I am beyond stoked to have 2 fantastic bike parks within about 300kms. haha

To be 100% honest here: If it weren't for the wonderful help and people on this board and the local CFRC putting up with me, I'd still likely be waiting for my file to be processed at all. A big Thanks to everyone here for their help!  Someday I'll pay it forward!

It took a lot longer then I thought it would but I am over the moon to post that I've accepted a position in Comox, BC.  It's pretty close to where I am now, just a messily 6000 kms away so I think I can commute the first while back and forth....lol My family is also very happy and after the...

Still waiting for them to chisel out the offer on a marble slab, I've heard that the personnel in charge of the slab was off for a week and then they had to requisition the proper tools to chisel the offer into the marble, seems what they tried was only good for sand stone, not marble.  So the...

On my basic former cadets = CPC the first few weeks. Not so much fun the first while

If you want to do combat, please visit your local retailer and Purchase the most recent volume of Battle Field, black ops, etc game and rush home. Load it up and start your training. ps. The CF is not like a video game in any way. :-)

Welcome to my world. Be VERY patient, and I mean VERY patient. Everything moves at a snails pace going up hill against the wind in the middle of a snow storm.

lol, there seems to be a theme the last while with these new posters coming on here... Maybe it's because of all the university graduate getting out and realizing that their ideas of making 100k/yr with a BA is out the window...

Here's the best advice I can give you: There is NO ONE that will call you to give you an update on your application status. There is NO ONE that will call you and give you any more information. Just like on the civilian side, it's up to YOU to contact the place you applied for a career with in...

Believe what DAA is telling you, they know their shit when it comes to Recruiting(among other things).

Cui, was meant to the OP, I would have quoted him, but lets face it he changed his story a few times, I just wanted to go after what I think is his "thesis" as he puts it. I'm hoping he truly has Flew the coop

Holy Fucking train wreck! But yet I cannot look away... To go onto your point about "Canadian Companies would benefit from a larger application pool or Talent pool" I'll even use a REAL LIFE example if you will with facts included. So formerly there was a company locally started here in a...

There will be a number within your email that you have received once you apply, call it and update any information that is relevant. OR Wait until it's sent to your local CFRC and update it then with the new information.

The latest I've heard of signing bonuses was on my course in 2009, we had 2 individuals that received money for joining, both were specific engineers and since that point I believe both have VR'd/failed their trade courses.

You'll get a hell of a lot more for your tax dollar in Que then in NB, trust me. NB just take your money and give it to some corporate clown that doesn't need money in the hopes of that clown creating jobs that he never will.

I know more then one guy who is currently serving that claim to have the PA and more then one that have nipples done. I've also been present when 3 individuals were charged for wearing a tongue ring while on duty after being ordered not too. Interesting times! haha
