The ULO was recently at our college, and the message was very clear. The expectations were laid out, and presented sternly. At the pace we move at, even one day of missed school sets you back greatly. The moral of the story for would-be candidates is to realize that attendance and academic...

There is a gentleman in my class who was a bosin (sp) in the reserves and was given the NCM-SEP transfer, however he is the only one out of about 40 students. My personal experience is going very well at RCC. I am in week 6 of term one and have nothing but positive feelings about my time at...

    Thanks to George for putting this information together, this thread will be a great tool for those of us in the NCM SEP.   I personally have recently been sworn in at CFRC Toronto. My trade is NET (T). I begin my studies Monday Oct. 5 at RCC (Radio College of Canada). The program itself is...

      I am officially a member of the Canadian Forces family. I was sworn in yesterday and spent the better part of the morning signing my autograph on the dotted line.         I feel a nervous excitement now that it's official. I did have my question about basic training answered, I will go...

Almost 2 months after handing in my application, I have been offered a job with the Canadian Forces! I am to be sworn in tomorrow at CFRC Toronto. After all the testing and form filling I can definitely say it was well worth it. Before I go to St. Jean for basic training, I will be studying...

My trip on the Ville De Quebec was amazing. We got to have a day sail out on the lake, anchored for front row seats of the air show, it was brilliant. We had a tour of the ship as well as a delicious lunch, wow that food was good. To top off the day, the ship performed a couple high speed turns...

Good on you for striving to be healthy for BMQ. From what I can see, it looks to me that you're in  great shape already considering what you're able to lift. Have you considered more cardio and less strength? I say this because it is my understanding that a quick recovery time is crucial to...

Good news. My medical has been booked for Sept. 15. Very excited to round out the process and hopefully be accepted into the NCM SEP as a NET. Never thought I'd be so excited to see to the Doctor. MrJimi

Oh dear god I hope not. :-\

As a matter of fact, a few of us NCM SEP's have been invited to take a day sail of lake Ontario and have the pleasure to watch the Canadian air show from the lake. Im so excited, I just can't wait!! We are scheduled for Saturday Sept. 5, which is tomorrow. Anybody else on here going other than...

Very cool website!, nice find NavyShooter.

Steve, great job on the PT! It's amazing the gains that can be made in such a short span of time. Not enough credit goes to the mental aspect of training and how a lot of times, the only person you're competing with is yourself. I'm also training and love the feeling that comes with finishing...

I hope you're right Otis, however, my medical is still to be done and although I have never had any major medical problems, you never really know what may be found. Ive read a lot about files needing doctors approvals and that could set me back where I may have to attend school at a later date...

I had my interview, it went very well and was told I am a "strong candidate." It was a lot longer than I anticipated,(2 hours), but it varies due to the nature of the trade. Applying as a NET under the SEP requires rigorous screening to make certain the candidate can handle the amount of...

I agree with you 100%. Interview is now booked for Aug 10. Almost there now.
