Good day everyone, I haven't been very active on the forum in years... life went in some other directions, but back in early 2020, just before the Rona started, I reapplied to the Forces. I found out that trying to become a pilot this time around just was unobtainable, due to training programs...

Update time! Wrote TSD lady week... Despite having a decent CFAT score, the combined results couldn't hit the cut off for pilot... FYI, any thinking DEO pilot, the cut off scores are insanely high. However, I was offered some alternative trades... Intelligence, Logistics, Training Development...

I haven't noticed these posted before, but thought they'd be fun to share.  Enjoy! 2014 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSN9ipE4VoI 2013 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp6UTP3gNM4

Not sure if anyone else caught this, but Scotia Place in Ottawa is being renamed Canadian Tire Center.  This is perfect for the Sens, crappy hockey team and Crappy Center.  Match made in heaven! LOL  :nod: ;D

There is that spot in the application where you can indicate if you'd want your application forwarded to the RCMP as well.  Here's a question... when do they do that?  I've put in a couple of applications, but have never heard anything, so I was curious how/when they share your information...

Well, the wind was taken out my sails today.  I received a letter from the RMO saying that because I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP that I do not meet the "common enrollment medical standard" for the CF.  Which I find rather hard to believe, considering that I'm fairly confident that I could...

Hi everyone.  Just sent off my medical stuff including blood test results. My numbers came back normal, except for ALT which was 67.  My last blood work two years ago was at 48.  Looking into it, that number could suggest some kind of liver issue, but none of my other numbers were out of...

Hi everyone... just a minor rant here.  Got caught up on the recruiting forum today and I seriously have to ask: ARE PEOPLE REALLY THAT DENSE? Two threads with people asking for information that is readily available by either reading the forums, using google, or visiting the main Forces...

Hi everyone... Got some questions... found some answers in search, but looking for some more clarification. I'm presently waiting for things to get rolling with recruitment with the new fiscal year.  This year for DEO trades I've put down pilot, infantry and ACSO (in that order).  However, I'm...

Hi everyone... I know some of you here are familiar with the musical work of Elton Adams.  I've been trying to find the lyrics to the song "Hard", but have not been able to find them.  I downloaded the song a couple of weeks ago and love it, but can't quite make out some of the lyrics. If...

When I reapplied this year, I saw on the Forces website that they are accepting pilot applications, which I jumped at, since it was my boyhood dream to be one. Some questions after reading Max's sticky'ed thread: From what I gather on the website, they stream pilots into the different areas...

Just got this off my Twitter feed... http://www.cp24.com/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20120120/120120_stress_balls/20120120/?hub=CP24Home I was a bit amused by this.  I wonder why they picked orange ones? - mod edit to better reflect final outcome of story -

Hi folks... visited my local RC last week and found out that they closed my file as there were no positions at the time, hence no need for further processing. The captain I've been speaking to strongly encouraged me to reapply in the new year.  They said at the RC that most positions won't be...
