Regarding the PT test, it has been discussed at great length: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/50877.0.html The condensed version: You still take a PT test, you just take it at BMQ instead of the CFRC/D. Same standards apply.

Well I'm definitely not a wise-gun-type, but I've heard a lot of good things about DPMS weapons. I've never had any personal experiences with those, but I've talked to several guys out at the range that had them and they all spoke very highly of the brand. From what I've heard you can't really...

I flew to London Heathrow yesterday from Chicago (arrived this morning). People were patted down at the gate and all liquids removed from their carry on luggage, however I'm sorry to report that carry on luggage was still permitted in all shapes and sizes. Electronics were also permitted on the...

Not exactly what pricing / availability would be in Canada but I have to put my vote in for the Springfield XD. It's a great weapon. I strongly prefer it to the Glock. It's got better safety features and, in my opinion, far easier target acquisition. The angle of the grip is different from the...

I mean no disrespect to Journeyman, but it appears that you and Michael are arguing the same point. You've both stated, albeit slightly differently, that peacekeeping forces are in place as either on step towards a solution or to facilitate a permanent solution, and not a solution in and of...

Hmm, so no chance they'd give me any evaluation at all? Not looking for anything close to a guarantee, just a vague 'yeah there would be a reasonable chance you'd make it through' or a 'not a chance in hell' type answer. I'm assuming from the previous posts that the answer is that it would be...

Thanks for the response; you make a good point. I did actually ask a couple of questions through the "Ask Us" section of the recruiting website, but was essentially told that each applicant was evaluated on a case by case basis and I should really just apply. You certainly make a really good...

No worries. I've read quite a few posts here and completely understand and agree with your point. Hmm, on re-reading my response I did actually use the word 'misspelt' where I should have used 'misspelled', so in a way your original statement was correct..  ;D

Wait, what? MSN speak? Misspellings? Could you perhaps clarify what, exactly, was misspelt and which words were 'MSN speak'? I'm sorry, did you just post to the wrong thread? What exactly are you talking about? Is it really too much to ask for an appointment before going to a recruiting...

Thanks. Kind of figured that would be the general response. Also figured that most (if not all) recruits would have gone to their local recruiting center and not 'comparison shopped' for CFRC's, so to speak. I think I'll go with whoever is more willing to set an appointment with me.... Thanks...

Hi all, I have kind of an odd question; anyone have an opinion on which CFRC in Ontario I should go to? My options are Hamilton, Toronto, or possibly Ottawa if it's worth it. The reason why I ask is because I'm currently living in Iowa, USA (yes I am a Canadian citizen), and I'd like to go in...
