Now the medical, that will be the most difficult, and most time consuming, to overcome. I knew this, yet felt more hopeful with the interview and everything moving along. I supposedly have this genetic quirk that increases the chances of clotting in the blood which was discovered a few years...

I had my interview at recruitment today. It was way more straightforward than I imagined it to be. Some of my civilian job interviews have been more intense. Well, at least my go to strategy of finding a way, intentionally or not, to make the interviewer laugh was a success. I only managed a...

I was. Part of the problem is how I marked down my relation with them, and how answered the recruiter's questions about them. As long avoid any mention of a social relationship beyond the professional or educational or personal, they are valid. Anyway, went by the recruitment center to drop of...

Hello! I have been intentionally avoiding the career stuff as I am not sure I would be qualified after medical due to a genetic quirk that was discovered since the last time I applied. Initially selected Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator and Aerospace Control. Third was Intelligence Operator...

Last week I received another email confirming my interview date and meet with a career counselor at end of the month, and medical the following week. This surprised me, as at least two of my references were not called, and have confirmed yet with a third. I was under the impression they would be...

Discussion is digressing, as expression beliefs/opinions vs safe work environment is more general separate topic. I've been friends with individuals whom I often disagree with topics, and even disagree with certain aspects of each other, yet we still get along base on actions, character...

I got the official email with the attached letter that the first step is completed.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadianForces/comments/8nuusj/a_canadian_first_trans_flag_flies_at_cfs_alert/ I agree, certainly makes it an awkward position for a trans member of CF.  Also makes it an awkward position for persons of color in the CF. Including women in the CF.  Gay, lesbian, bi, etc...

How does the article relate to this thread?

Hello, In fear of treading the same path followed by many as I have not read the entire thread, seeking a clarification. I did my TSDI today. I met a recruiter before it to see if they can get my paperwork in order before the test, and then finished with different recruiter afterwards as I had...

I got the TSDI done, along with the substance form. I was sorta expecting more, so felt a bit underwhelmed by it, yet I understand the logic of it all. Before doing that, started going through the paper work with one recruiter, and had me refill one as the months for addresses needed to...

Wow, already almost two months went by? Time flies when distracted by life. I went by the RC to earlier today, about a month or more since the last time I checked in. Then they said my application is on hold due to the medical backlog there and to be patient. I understand and expected, mainly...

I am not sure if it a broader thing or just the reception of the RC, but I think need to be more straight to the point when I speak. They tend to not understand and just redirect you base on one word before getting the context. Yes, still trying to get an appointment for medical. So far, I get...

Having doubts about something you are strong set on and invested a lot of time in is natural, and also a good sign as it allows for some self-awareness and mental contingency preparation. The trick is to how to handle it. Another perspective question can ask yourself is, what do you fear most...

Probably just me, but feels bit more awkward than it did eight years ago when trying to go to the RC or call. I swung by the RC yesterday to check in about the application, as I have not received any call or email about an appointment. Then was informed of the usual times the senior medical...
