I sure wasn't expecting it, however it did make for a good experience. Hopefully other future recruits can experience something similar.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone on here for all the information. I don't think I have had to post a single question in the last 3 years. Now I just wanted to share my experience with everyone. The application process was fairly long, a little over a year (see signature for more...

Wow, and I thought that I was way off topic.. ::) All kidding aside, DAA, I was thinking the same thing. Nonetheless I will assume that it may be fact that I only have an equivalency diploma. From what I understand they (as with any employer) look for initiative so before reapplying I am going...

Okay thanks I will give them a call today.

Thanks for the links, I for some odd reason didn't even think to search! I know the recruiter is my best bet, only they are open from 10-4 and I'm in course from 9-4 and I don't have a cell phone. Ill try to figure something out tho! and Van Gogh I applied for artillery, armored, and asiss. I...

Way off topic from the original topic but here it is. I just got a letter from my cfrc stating that I was deemed uncompetitive and my file has been closed. I have not gone for my cfat or anything yet. I am kind of confused because I have extensive work experience, am reasonably fit, have a...

Im sure someone will correct me on this but just by doing a little research this is what I have come up with. 1. Fill out your online application. 2. Send your supporting documents 3.You will be contacted by your recruiter once they receive it from north bay 4.Then your recruiter will give you...

Another thing I would like to add.. When emailing, or even leaving a voice message, be sure to give them sufficient information about you. If your message is simply something like "Hi this is John Smith, I was looking for some information regarding my application. Give me a call at *** ***...

The reason I said I "think" is from what iv watched/read/heard, I wasn't sure if there was even really a need for a "tactical radio operator" anymore considering it seems like all the coms are part of your headgear. With that being said, I really do not know much (if really anything) about...

No they haven't, waiting about a week before I give them a call. I just want to make sure I am actually applying for what I "think" I am applying for. I have posted and asked questions in all my trade selections. (if I couldn't find answers already)  ;D

Well core seems to be what I was looking for in the trade, so I think/hope ill be in pretty good shape. I guess all I can do for now is hurry and wait for some phone calls!

I knew about going before the DP1 but I didn't know about after but i guess it would make sense. I guess as long as I get a the "sub-trade" I want then it would all be okay.

And that is what makes me kind of nervous about this trade.. I don't want to be stuck "inside" all day never going to the field. Nonetheless the experience itself i'm sure would be worth it.

That is actually exactly what i was looking for! Thanks! As far as postings, I read somewhere that "1 place can go to the field all the time whereas the building across the road works 9-4 mon-fri with no ex's" (this is not an exact quote but a mere generalization of what had been said) Patrick S.

Okay thanks! Would you be able to give me a breakdown on those? I understand IST=Information System Tech, LST=Line System Tech, and CST=Communication System Tech. Apart from that I can't really find any specific info. [Edit] I'm pretty sure LST's are the one that run all the lines? (obviously)...
