Congratulations! Which trade were you offered?

Good luck with your interview and medical! The medical will be the easier of the two, it certainly was so for me. I cannot wait for the next NOAB, and it seems that it can be anywhere from April to July, depending on who you ask! (My local CFRC Cpl- April; the Sgt - May, my interviewing Lt(N) -...

Galahad , I think you and I might be on the same NOAB, at least I would hope so. As a reserve have you already done your BMQ/BMOQ? I don't know how it works for reserves, thus the question.

Hi all, I did my interview at the local CFRC today and those who want to know about it, there isn't any specific info I can give out. Just be honest and know your trade or trades thoroughly. If you lie, they WILL find out and you WILL fail. Now, the recruiting center was unable to tell me when...

Hello all, Everything I posted in my previous thread "New Rules for Officer Candidate?" was a big confusion. Here is my story, and I need help from anyone in this forum who has had this happen or knows about this. My trade choices were MARS/Pilot/Armoured. In October the CFRC in my area...

Hello all, I applied to MARS/Pilot/Armoured (my 3 choices) sometime late summer. Completed my CFAT in early fall and medical in late September. Then I was told that as I have not been in Canada for 10 years and I am MARS candidate, I needed to do an out of country background and criminal check...

So gave the CFAT this Tuesday and passed for all officer trades, scoring in at 89% (peeked at the sheet when the Sgt. wasn't looking :D) To those who are curious about the CFAT, -- If you're done college/university, you'll find it easy, though tricky in some places like verbal reasoning, since...

:: UPDATE :: So, I applied for transcripts over a month ago, on June the 19th. The "handler" (his word) told me it would take a week. But it turned into a month-long nightmare as they decided that a course switch I had asked for was unfriendly by their standards and therefore I was to be...

Woah! Ok, ok my bad, what I wrote may come as insulting. I mean no insult toward Air Navs or NCMs at all - they've earned the respect. What I meant was as I have completed my aerospace engineering degree, I will get the most out of it by applying as a DEO. Jesus, military personnel are someone...

If you're going for Air Nav, why not go for Pilot as your number 1 choice? You need to pass the Air Nav to pass Pilot tests....so you'd be half way there. Unless I have a totally wrong concept in my head. As for Marine Surface and Subsurface, good luck with it (honest) because I have a friend...

!!! UPDATE !!! I just finished my summer courses and passed all three of them. Now I'm waiting for the transcripts to arrive so I can apply! Good Lord, the wait is painful.

Ok now, before this thread erupts into a firefight, let me say this, and you can quote me on it. There are many professionals on this board, along with many more amateurs and even more novices (like me). However, the love of the military occupation is what binds us all together. As such, I...

UPDATE: Ok, so I did an eye test at the local Hakim Optical optometrists. My thinking is/was I would better know NOW and go into the medical KNOWING my condition, rather than get disappointed THERE and return with a sad face. So the doctor did the visual acuity test and color vision test. My...

So here I am, a 22 year old from Mississauga, ON. My story is a little unusual, I went to the Mississauga recruiting center in January 2008. I had by then visited them five times already and ordered two packages from Forces.ca, so I knew my trade choices - Pilot and Air Nav -- I love aircraft...
