    change in background check speed?

    I hate to burst all of your bubbles, but YES, an unpaid parking ticket can TOTALLY affect the process. An unpaid parking ticket is ... (dun dun DAH!) A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO THE COURTS! Therefore, if you have an unpaid parking ticket, the court CAN oblige you to appear....thereby preventing the...

    Are Level III security checks done before attending BMQ??

    They will start you security clearance DURING BMQ (Make sure you take all your info with you!) You do not NEED your security clearance before your QL3 course after BMQ.

    Trouble Applying

    His point was ... it was after midnight on Friday night ... I probably wasn't looking (I wasn't) And no, I don't think EngO is open right now, but I'd have to check the numbers at work (where I'm not right now)

    Long Wait....Hopefully worth it.

    If you were sworn in, you can expect to be employed one way or the other within the next 30 days ... as I understand it (though I am NOT an RMS clerk) ... 30 days is the londest we can have you on LWOP (leave without pay) before you're put to work. So, if they don't have a BMQ for you, you'll...

    Old uniform parts

    PLEASE take your identifiers off of your old uniforms prior to disposal. I have a HUGE issue with unwashed, unshaven, long-haired protesters bad-mouthing everyone from the government to anyone who disagrees with their views, all while wearing old kit with rank and flashes because they think it...

    Trouble Applying

    Can we 'refuse' a file ... technically no. Should we recommend that you don't turn it in? Oh Yeah! I have approximately 6500 files currently in some stage of the process ... are any one of the 75 people in my office going to take the time to do anything with your file when your trade is closed...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    You know what? After reading that thread ... I'D give her male pants. It must hurt to stuff those huge balls into female pants ... (make no mistake, Tovasshi may be genetically female, but it'd take some BIG balls to talk to Vern like that while in the same geographic location!)

    Welcome to MY life as a Recruiter ... "So and so on Army.ca said I should get a signing bonus for Infantry because I belong to a gun club..." Sheesh!

    CMTT

    There are special boxes you can get to ship a bike ... the front wheel and pedals need to come off, and the handlebars get turned, but it IS possible to ship a bike ... Whether it gets there in time when you're only there for three months however ... that's a different story. Also, you need a...

    Rant - Reservists CTing to Regs;don't be a douchbag

    I haven't said anything since CT'ing that I didn't say for the last 2 years of my Reserve time ... of course, I've never bashed the people, just 'the system' and the way it treats it's people ... and it was quite well known that the things I said were the reasons FOR my CT. So, if that's being...

    Naval Officers Once Again to Wear the Executive Curl

    If they do the SSI by "days at sea" rather than sea time as defined by posting to a sea-going unit, isn't that going to be an adminstrative nightmare? I say scrap the whole thing ... a sailor is a sailor. And does anyone really think that some Air Force guy is going to want to stick crap on...

    eApplication sent to "wrong" Recruiting Centre?

    Hi Holly, Here's some advice from an actual Recruiter ... (me) Don't call the recruiting Center on Monday. The response you got was an automated response from the computer system. ALL online files go to North Bay to be vetted and sorted (that's where the auto-response comes from). Once...

    Question about joining

    The answer to your question is dependant on your intentions ... IF you intend to eventually go Regular Force, then wait and go Reg Force when the time comes. If you intend to stay a Reservist for a while (5-10 years minimum) then it's worth it to join the Reserves first. The reasons being ...
