Well I just went back and read my thread, and I would say Mariomike has been posting the most up-to-date information.  But I don't think anyone is shooting for recognition.  I merely figured you were confusing me as a new guy to the thread, when in fact I started it (forum name change). I tell...

Thanks MM.  It would appear that some reporters are now finally tackling the larger question of "what does this all mean?"  Kudos to them for starting to take a real role in investigative journalism.  :christmas happy:

No where did I say I was extactic.  I guess the smiley face was a little too much then?  ;) Given the fact that JIBC has some public data showing dates for precepting in 2010, with little other detail to them, I suggest the system that be, is indeed moving in a positive - albeit slow -...

The cog slowly turns.  :)

Much appreciated.

Public Works?  Google-Fu to the rescue.  Cool beans Aviator, thanks. The whole aspect of JAG/Lawyers/Contracts is just more a note of curiosity on my point, but it's good to know where to start looking should I determine to make the CF my life long career. :)

First off, what's with the SHOUTING?  >:D Yes, BCAS is the only Ambulance service in the Province, and as such is the source to obtain preceptorship.  And while I would love to think that given the option the Paramedics of BC would precept irregardless of their own job disputes, I do not...

I would not expect JAG to look at BCAS with a microscope, but rather JIBC.  BCAS facilitates JIBC's requests for preceptors, however JIBC is on the hook for a contract with DND afaik. As a contracted institution, JIBC has made commitments (somewhere on paper I presume) that were made prior to...

If I were you... I would call up the recruiting center nearest you, have them get you a contact number for the recruiting center in Victoria BC, and ask a for the facts and their opinions.  Not that other recruiting centers can't tell you what they know, just that those in Victoria may or may...

Thanks for the replies so far. For those sent back to PRETC there is the chance to do OJE or to get onto any available courses offered (think Driver Wheel) as some of you have mentioned.  I sure wouldn't turn down that the DW crse; however last time I was on PRETC I was denied that course as...

Well, I was hoping to come onto the site here and find a volume or two on the subject matter, but my searches brought up nothing.  So I figure a proactive and informative approach is better than nothing, and I would like to get some seasoned opinions on the matter as well... The Justice...

I retract my gripe, and insert a wet weather boot in my mouth to take it's place. Longevity of service has its merits.  I know I don't have the technical terminology to go hand in hand with this conversation, so I'm wary not to step out of my lane (again and again), but seeing as this is a...

Thanks MC!  While I wouldn't exactly call what's happening now, a legit second chance offering by CFMSS to those that didn't quite make the grade the first time, I can understand that there are quite a few pay grades between me and those that make those decisions.  I've got no qualms with people...

Well, I'm no longer on the October 23 course.  Seems I've been moved to February.  I was told it had something to do with a course cancellation, moving some candidates from that course onto the one I was scheduled for so I had to give way.  Fair enough.  But then I was also informed that some...

Thanks for the link.  I'm going to give it a read, but just after reading the summary I can see why the Canadian Medical Association is against it.  And, as always, it would seem that the few choice words made by the media are skewing perspectives... "This enactment amends the Criminal Code by...
