    Combat Engineers

    Michael definitely speaks the truth. It wasn't on purpose but I was in this exact situation. Combat engineer was in demand when I decided to apply back in April 2010. By May 2010 it was full and I waited until March 2011 before I could do any processing. Then I was merit listed just after the...

    Challenger/"VIP" Jet/CF Chopper Use (CDS, others) [merged]

    Just caught a part of the 11pm CTV news before I had to drive home. Now they are going after Peter McKay for doing the same thing the CDS did, only this time it was a search and rescue helicopter. They seem to be trying really hard to get someone, anyone, in trouble. Pitiful I'm sure there...

    Trying to start a reserve unit

    Hello All, Digging up a slightly old thread here but I didn't want to start a whole new one. Mods feel free to separate this post to a new thread if it makes more sense. Anyway on to the question, I was wondering if the Rocky Mountain Rangers has had time to set up an office in Prince George...

    how long does it take, really?

    I just took a promotion to Manager of my boring ass job because I've been in "hurry up and wait" mode since April 4th 2010. (the date of my first application. Re-applied February 2011, Merit listed in May/June 2011. Re-applying February 2012) The best advice I ever received was, "Hope for the...

    The Manly Thread

    Decided to run home from work today. Have never done it before so I thought I'd give it a try. 2 hours and one sprained ankle later, my wife finds me half way up the last hill (it's 3 km long) and gives me a ride. Manly part: I sprained my ankle in the first 10 minutes.

    Combat Engineers for BMQ this summer?

    I did my interview for combat engineer on march 24th and was put on the merit list sometime before April 25th. I'm still waiting for my call too. My advice? Don't worry about when you'll get the call. Plan your life as if you never get that call, once that is done figure out what you'll need...

    The Vancouver Canucks Rule Thread! ha ha

    Some days being a Canucks fan is hard. Especially the first day back to work after another beat down dealt by the Blackhawks. *prays* please let it end on Sunday.

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    What about this situation: Guy A joins the PRes, works for 4 years, decides he doesn't like it, and takes a VR. Applies to a Police Agency and uses his military experience to increase his chances of getting hired. Guy B joins the PRes while planning to only work for 4 years, then take a VR...

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    Doesn't every soldier use the CF for their own personal benefit? They all get paid right? (Just playing Devils Advocate  :P)

    Merit List

    Im in the application process as well but from what I've gathered from this site, re-joining is the same as applying as a civilian. You're put on the same type of list either way. Though I'd expect that someone re-joining would get placed higher than a civilian (who scored exactly the same on...
