I'm from Vancouver, BC. Although after seeing some more of this beautiful country there isn't really one place that I call home.  :cdn: :salute:

Well I'm still a "young gun" at 22 with a couple of years under my belt. Hey Next_level where are swearing in? As I'm swearing in at CFRC Vancouver on the Jan. 14th and flying out on the 16th as well.

I don't know about all of you but Christmas did not help, that darned eggnog is so good teamed up with some cookies  :'(. I'm leaving my job in 2 days so that leaves me 2 full weeks to really cinch down on things. All of you heading out on the 9th must be getting really excited. I'm going on...

They didn't change our BMQ from St. Jean to Borden. There are 2 BMQ courses being run in Jan. at Borden I think and they just happened to put our names on that list. A few years ago I was excited that the Olympics where coming to Vancouver. That excitement quickly vanished upon seeing the cost...

It's good to hear that your interview went well. I know I was very nervous for my interview and it didn't help that the recruiter was getting a performance review so there were 2 of them asking questions  :o For me hitting the gym most nights and keeping busy helped pass the time until I got...

Minus 10c without wind chill is balmy. When things pass -25c it starts getting f***ing cold. It's usually the wind that starts getting to you. I remember back in Regina getting blown off my feet while walking on ice. The guys at work think my brain must have gotten frost bitten or something when...

Considering that I've done two interviews now I wouldn't recommend that. If there's anything "questionable" or doesn't look great just spit it out and discuss it openly instead of trying to gently dodge the subject. These guys know what they're doing just answer the questions and explain...

Well every now and then the stars and planets are aligned. You always hear about the horror stories but the smooth applications tend to get looked over. I can add that my application process has gone without a hitch as well. It seems you've already got the right attitude just keep it up. I'm...

Swearing in Jan. 14th at CFRC Vancouver Fly out on Jan. 16th BMQ at CFB Borden starts Jan. 18th I guess the first BMQ course was full so I caught the later one. Hopefully see some of you guys there  :warstory:

Well I haven't gone to BMQ yet but from what I have gathered being allowed off base is a privilege that are can be revoked quite easily, so don't expect anything until you get it. I also don't think there's wireless either, or at least we're probably not allowed to use it. An mp3 player is a...

Well I originally wanted Field Artillery, but after mulling it over for a month after my interview I changed my mind. Turns out Artillery was full so I could switch to Sig Op. I realized that I picked Artillery for the "cool" factor. After considering all my options I finally smartened up. I've...

I talked to the recruiter last week and he said that I should expect a call before Wednesday  :D But several days of torment in the mean time  :threat: so close. EDIT: I'll also add that I went in for my medical part 2 and interview on Oct. 6th. My file must have been a hot potato for the RMO...
