Anyone have any recommendations on books that cover basic information regarding the CF? My fiance wants to learn about the CF, its history, rank structures, elements and so on and was looking for a "CF for dummies" type book. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I recieved a position for Engineering Officer. Selection was done on Friday (along with Infantry Officer), and I recieved a call the same day.

Ah, I thought the numbers that were given to me were for the Hamilton area. I would have thought they would give a set amount of positions to each RC to fill. I suppose ensuring that a set amount of candidates comes from a specific area wouldn't make sense as you wouldn't obtain the best...

From what I understand DEO infantry is local selection though, so I suppose it depends on where you are. If there are positions open and candidate to fill those positions they would fill those positions for the upcoming BMOQ correct? Or is there a chance that candidates may attend a later BMOQ...

I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea when the Hamilton RC is going to be offering jobs for DEO Infantry? I was just merit listed and was told I ranked high (at what position exactly, I'm not sure). It appears people are starting to get good news, but I cannot find anyone form Hamilton...

Thanks to the both of you. I think I'm going to go directly in to the recruiting officer on my next day off and talk to someone in person and hope everything works out quickly.

I said that due to the fact that most responses for things regarding time frame start with "It depends on the situation". In order to not hear the same response I figured I would put it myself. What trades did you apply for and when exactly did you apply?

I know the situation is different with everyone, depending on what CFRC one hands their application in to but I was hoping to get an idea of other people's situations. I handed my application in a few weeks ago and my file has not been opened. Is this normal (due to the large amount of...

Hello, I am currently updating my reference and was hoping I could get some opinions on employment sections. I am a soccer referee and have listed this under extra-curricular/volunteer work on my application forms. The reason I did this is because as a ref I am not employed by anyone, but I...

I apologize if this has been brought up, which I assume it has. I just cannot find it anywhere. I was wondering what people who applied for DEO positions applications look like in regards to volunteering and leadership information to compare and see how my volunteering and other activities...

I appreciate the help and I do apologize for the re-posting the question. I certainly won't do it again. I wasn't getting upset by the comment, I have much bigger things to worry about than a simple comment being made. I do understand the frustration and again I am sorry that I re-asked the...

Maybe I should have rephrased that. I was curious about the experienced waiting time. I know I got the answer for the pilot, and it would apply to Infantry Officer etc, but I though I might as well try saving a lot of time searching through 18 pages to come up an idea of how long people have...
