Heading to St-Jean on October 26th from St. Johns! Just wondering who will be there?

I've tried numerous times to PM you but it says you have it blocked from receiving them.

I want to know what you guys think the harder trade would be between E-Tech and Hull Tech.  I like a challenge, and I'm curious about the subject. Thanks guys.

Is it hard to become a pilot if you have no history or practice flying before?  Interested in becoming one but am a bit hesitant because of my lack of experience.

Where could I find the open trades list on the site? Maybe post a link? Thanks so much though! Ill definitely look into the ETECH equivalents to make sure I have other options.

As of right now I'm applied for the navy? Not that I'm interested, but if it came down to it, would I be able to switch to a career in the airforce or army instead? Just wondering in case it came down to picking a different trade.

I did my CFAT and interview and medical all back in March.  Due to lots of issues, I only today received my letter finally stating that I meet the Common Enrolment Medical Standard.  When I applied, E-Tech was open and in demand.  today however when I called the Recruiting Centre for the final...

I don't have an attitude nor do I need an attitude adjustment. I Should of just ignored it but he the fact that his post was directed at me made me a little hot. I'm not here to brag about fitness or anything,  I just want feedback.  I don't care who's cut out for the military and who isn't...

I wonder if the Medical Officer here would do the same.  Thanks for your story though, helps a lot.  I believe that I'm not at risk of anything severe, the worst that has happened thus far was my lips swelled up after eating a full serving of salmon.  I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday and...

  Yeah I understand that.  Most restaurants fry all everything in the same oil they fry their fish in.  This was a concern of my Medical Officer as he explained the food in mess hall.  I've yet to encounter a reaction from eating at a restaurant that have fish on their menu, and I know for a...

It just doesn't seem fair to deny somebody because of an allergy.  For me it's as simple as avoidance.  If I eat fish that's my own fault.  It seems to me that it would make sense to sign a form before enrollment that states it is completely my responsibility to avoid fish and the blame can't be...

Yeah I applied for E-Tech in the Navy.

Today I received a letter saying that I did not meet the principles of Universality of Service and thus the Common Enrollment Medical Standards.  I have an allergy to seafood, primarily cod, salmon, and halibut.  My allergist prescribed me with an EpiPen about 3 years ago.  This was a concern...
