@Sentry Exactly. This course would have never been slated if there was any indication of a shortfall. A detail that would have certainly  been known before they processed files and merit listed most of us last year. Sorry if I got anyones panties ruffled, but the general reaction to a person...

I think calling is the best approach. I don't think there are too many file managers that hate eager and interested candidates.

Again, I've spoken directly to a recruiter at the Edmonton RC. He, like most finds it inconceivable that they wouldn't have just held the offers - if there was any concern over the budget. They didn't hold the calls to make offers, so it is still going ahead. As a candidate for Infantry, I...

You are all worried for nothing. It will go ahead. They would have just held back the offers if they were worried that budget may kill the course. I'll see all you in St. Jean. Where hopefully everyone doesn't get as worked up about polishing badges, running 5km, and eating meals in less...

My neighbour works in the Edmonton RC. He said nothing of the course being cancelled. He is attending my swearing in. :2c:

As a rule of thumb, I took all the CF suggestions i.e. 5km in 25, 25 pushups, etc., and strove at getting better. We all have constraints, but we also all made a commitment to the CF. Just push. If you get injured training for basic, you would likely do the same thing there. Maybe it's just...

Anyone else from Edmonton flying out on the 27th?

Well, I'm not the oldest or youngest at 33. I'm glad to see so many different trades and age groups. Seems like it will be a very interesting time. I really hope everyone does well, and we all make it through.

I took a job at Canada Post, simply so I could spend my days doing 25km walks with 30lbs+ added weight. I already can do the running, weights, sleep deprivation, OCD cleaning, and so forth. The toughest part for me will be missing my newborn.

The French Platoon seems to start a few days behind the English? In any event, It'll be nice to be with people from all parts of Canada, who have all gone through the often long process of application. Having spent a much time on the application as I have, I can say failure is not something...

Hopefully some more from Edmonton, otherwise I'm in for a pretty boring flight.

Out of curiosity, how does one become a member on here?

Infantry Officer. Flying out of Edmonton into Montreal.

Thanks and Congrats to all those I'll see in St Jean. Warm weather training is a bonus. Keep in touch. APOLOGIES FOR THE STUTTERING IPHONE.
