My newest update...having just received the opportunity I've been waiting all year for, I had to decline the offer. After long negotiations with the wife, we agreed this would be a terrible time to leave home for training. I've been regretting my decision ever since, but feel it was the right...

Thanks Mike5, I appreciate that. It will be a tough choice for sure. I'd love to join, but the starting wage is much lower than what I'm currently making. So it will be tough to afford it. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed to find a way. Short term pain for long term gain! ha ha

Update for my recruitment process. I was contacted today with a job offer. Now I'll have a few days to make a decision. I was surprised to find out that the recruitment office called and after 5 minutes on the phone, was asking me if I'd like to accept the offer. I was expecting a formal...

HI, I've applied to reg force in Nov/Dec 2019. I'm now prepping for the medical and interview next week. I applied to Aciss in hopes of learning a new trade. I have transferable skills that I think would be good. I was curious to know if anyone here can tell me how the pay works. I understand...

Thanks for the insight. I can't wait to experience this new career path.

I really appreciate your reply. Thanks for taking the time.

I have a question about the training as identified in my desired career path. I'm currently early in the application process and am looking forward to actually joining, but I'm curious to know about the 16 month training for my chosen career. If I get accepted and make it that far, will I move...
