I completely understand that the priorities of the CF are more important than mine, and that I can be assigned anywhere. If however I really don't care what MOC I'm in, are there certain ones that would allow (for example) a better chance of assignment to CFB Kingston (where I have...

Yes it seems that way. Managed a quick phone call to the recruiters, his response seemed more along the lines of stuff to mention in the interview to show I am improving myself rather than stuff to bring in to show the marks. Oh well. My own youthful stupidity had to come back and bite me in the...

And as has been mentioned it's unlikely China and SK really want the regime to collapse with the resultant refugee situations. Not to mention the possibility (however remote) of a collapsing regime with a few nukes and nothing to lose.

Hi All Searched for this- couldn't find an answer so apologies in advance if it's been covered. Being 33 and and elderly person considering application I've noticed some of the trades entry are looking for high marks in high school etc. Being (imho) of slightly above average intelligence...

I'd actually think both sides are to blame. Yes Chavez has gone from making somewhat valid points to making himself look like a lunatic, but why are people surprised that he doesn't like the US and is making friends with other countries? The US officially seemed to support the coup in which he...

Thanks again guys (and of course feel free to keep the info coming  :P ) As I've said, I understand it's a great responsibility ,but I hope I'm up to the challenge. Being in command of one of those beasts zipping over cross country has got to be an exhilarating feeling.

OK I know I'm being stupid here.. but essentially this says that if you have corrected vision to 20/20 you should be OK right? My vision without contacts is very bad, with contacts /glasses I'm 20/20. I know it's dumb, just can't wrap my head around the chart right now.

Thanks Likely. Makes perfect sense, kinda figured it would be like that. Just that with me being 34 by the time I apply (early 07) and from what I understand about a year to process everything figured it might be nice to command one before I'm 40. Oh well I think the worst thing about being an...

Hi All I posted some questions about joining in another thread, but didn't mention the armour aspect. And I've searched, but haven't fpund anything relevant. (Found some stuff from 2002, but don't know if it's changed,was mostly a rant not to join armoured) What are promotions like for Recce...

<sigh> Didn't even think to look at the RMC site, is there a moc for those of us who miss the blindingly obvious? Thanks All!

Thanks, but I've used it and have been unable to find the answers (or something that leads me to the answers entirely possible I'm stupid of course) I can fins things discussind the CEOTP, that have somewhat reinforced the idea that I'm way to old to use it, and have found stuff on the UTPNCM...

Hi All Apologies (feel free to stick the big note below  ;D ) if this has been covered. I've searched for information but am not sure what the current situation allows. I am 32 years old, came out of highschool with decent (if not spectacular) grades. Attended a year of University before...
