I have been running, biking and swimming me arse off lol If there is one thing I am NOT worried about its my leg strength.  But thanks!  Tomorrow is the big day!  I did really well on the practice cfat so I am only worried about getting up so early lol

I got the call and I am  writing the CFAT on April 12th! 2 weeks ago,I  finally did my first male push-up after 3 months of weight training and girl push-ups. yay!    In Jan I could barely pull down 50lbs and now I can pull down 100lbs 4 reps of 10.  I imagine when I can pull down 150lbs (my...

Just practice, practice, practice and be prepared for the test.  Then you will ace it and get the dream job you are hoping for LOL ;D I did the practice test:  http://cdn.forces.ca/_PDF2010/preparing_for_aptitude_test_en.pdf I Got 5 wrong in the math section so now i go here: ...

http://www.walkjogrun.net/ I found this site and map every run I do. Its so great because you can plot exactly 2.4km from your front door and back.  Then I just use the stop watch on my phone to time myself. For me 2.4 km is from my place to Third beach in Stanley park then back equals...

Ya, I figured it was wrong. It has to be.  I've always been a runner and its always been low but that is the lowest reading yet LOL

Holy smokes! I did my blood pressure testing at shoppers two days ago and its really low!  really, really low.  is there such a thing as too low?  is this bad?  I feel great! Eating lots of fruit and veggies, running, biking, swimming, weights and one cheat day Systolic = 086 Diastolic = 038...

LOL thanks guys!  I sent my application in today with Aerospace Control as my first choice and Nav Comm as my second. I will be happy to do either for the rest of my career.  thanks again for the help!

Yes I totally did! LOL thanks for the patience with this newbie.  Hmmm Nav Comm is sounding more attractive by the minute ;D

phew!I'm really glad to hear that! I had visions of never seeing my pets or friends again LOL I feel better about accepting Nav Comm as my second now.  I can do six months . (I was thinking I would be gone from my pets/family/friends every year for six months for the rest of my life)

The recruiter told me I could be a sea six months up to a year or two depending on the world situations and where and how they would need us  :salute:  The MARS sections says plan on your first 4 years at sea.  (they must mean living on the boat? not actually away at sea?)

I understand that and look forward to serving my country however they need me. I am single with no kids so I can work  when they want me too, nights, days, weekend,.  The year at sea is what didn't sound so good to me, working 12 hours a day for an entire year, in a bunk bed with zero...

Go Canucks Go!  whooo hooo :cdn:

Wow!  Thank you sooo much!  I will put Aerospace Control as my first choice then and Nav Comm as my second.  I can't thank you enough for clearing that up for me! I'm so happy to hear that we can switch careers too, with some time in.  I'm worried I will utterly hate/suck at being a sailor (no...

I have been reading this site for many hours and before I send my application in on monday. I am having a hard time choosing  a trade. I read that if i choose the navy (Nav Comm)  I would only get 7 hours of sleep in a row and have to work 12 hours shifts (split up) (is this true?) Do you get...

ooooo I never though of that! thanks!

I searched high and low for a gym to test this, to no avail.  So I just bought one of those stress balls and keep squeezing it for 5 min every day. Everyone i've talked to says this will suffice so I wouldn't worry about it

Thank you George!

Thank you everyone!  I can't wait to HOPEFULLY get in. Kingofkeys:  I am used to doing 100 situps with five pound weights in each hand (the advanced cindy crawford workout! lol)  so I am not worried about situps, I would ace the situp and running portion if tested today LOL I just posted my...

IDo you have to pay rent if you are away at sea for say six months?  can i store my stuff? or how does that work?

Hi, I've decided to join the CF as as INT OP or NAVCOM. I'm a 36 year old woman and everyone in my life thinks I'm crazy but I feel this is the right choice for me in my life right now.  I was born on the westcoast and all my friends and family live here so I will be horrified if I am not...
