The fact you  missed by only one, and you have now SEEN the CFAT and what their spatial questions look like, even without studying, I would suspect you'll do better the second time around.  Just take your time is the big thing.

Are all ED Techs Air Force element, or are there some in Land as well?

I'm 37 (Likely 38 by the time I see BMQ) and just had my medical yesterday.  I was told there was nothing on my medical that should impede my enrollment.  My interviewer was exceptionally receptive as I'm coming in with 13 years of trade experience.  Failing my acceptance on my first choice...

As I am going through the process right now, here are some thoughts that may help you out.  Go to the Forces.ca sight and read ALL the job descriptions (not just the hot jobs) and watch the videos.  Pick five and read them again and get psyched up about a couple of them.  Knowing the details on...

I have no intentions of being in Remedial Fitness Training and thus this should not affect me personally, (for those keeping track, I have changed my application from RES to REG), but I thought it interesting and worthy of further discussion in that during my interview my interviewer did mention...

evening gents,  I just did part 1 of my medical today (the WO was sick and had to re-schedule part two for next week).  The medic did mention my resting heart rate was kind of high, admittedly I was rushing to not be late for the appointment, but the heart rate monitor I bought today is...

Update Blew away the CFAT except the math segment, but they were more impressed with my results in that category than I was, which is good.  Interview ended up taking over two and a half hours, and the interviewer was duly impressed.  I'm getting a strong recommend for ED Tech, although I will...

Well time to put my info up, Recruiting Center: Calgary Regular/Reserve: Regular Officer/NCM: NCM Trade Choice 1: Electrical Dist.Tech Trade Choice 2: Weapons Tech (Land) Trade Choice 3: Application Date: Mar 9/09 (reserves)  Mar 16/09 (Switched Application to Reg) First Contact: (Mar 30/09...

"Where in the heck to did you get that idea from?" somewhere back in the earlier pages of the FAQ.  but I will assume I misread something, and take my answer from Brad's experience.  Thanks

I went through all 29 pages of the FAQ and didn't find a answer so I'll ask it here.  I understand that if you have a degree you are exempt from writing the CFAT.  So in my case I am a licensed Journeyman (10 years) with my #1 choice being closely related to my trade (Electrician - ED Tech). ...

Thanks everyone.  My application went in Monday, as my recruiter tells me they are doing a reg. forces drive right now and they won't get the reserve app.s in until the end of the month, so I should be expecting early April for my PT.  Not a problem, I should be able to get in good enough shape...

Thanks for your input guys.  We all have free time, it just what we decide is important and how we use it.  If I honestly and truly didn't have any free time to commit to training before hand, then I wouldn't have time for the reserves.  It seems apparent a commitment to the reserves doesn't...

OK that kills off all illusions here and puts it straight up front.  I have been doing plenty of research, spoke with my recruiter, been to the Armory and will first meet with him there on Wednesday where I will ask him this as well, but I'm asking here for more than one opinion.  Fact is, as...

Greetings gentlemen.  First off this is my first post (on a stale thread), and I readily admit my long term participation on these forums has a lot to do with my decisions in the next week.  That said this seems to be a great board and I appreciate the civil and heated discussions, kudos to you...
