Hello all, This was a very insightful discussion on this topic. I didn’t think that it would be wise and appropriate to open a new topic so I’ll post my question/comment here. One of my intermediate goals is to be accepted into UTPNCM program. I have 7 years in and I am not competitive...

Thank you for taking the time to post this. It is exactly what I was hoping to see, current update and first hand knowledge.

I read most of the messages on this topic and I am not going to beat over a dead horse. My perspective is that immediate supervisor’s have too much power with the current system. Too much emphasis is put on this bell curve statistics during the assessment. I am also convince that stacking up...

There's a lot of good information here! I noticed that few here have mentioned that NCM’s Defense and Security Program through Algonquin College, that aside I just wanted to clarify: - It sounds that I as an NCM that have 2 OPMEs done, can go-ahead and do distance learning at RMC once I have...

There is so much that I wanted to say, I started drafting a paragraph and just deleted. This just makes my blood boil. I couldn't agree more with the statement above…it is that plain, simple and to the point!!! The latest round of disappointments, embarrassments and frustration was seen the...

Thanks for all your replies. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to get into a detailed story about this issue so I won’t and that wasn’t the intent. I wanted to ‘test’ the waters with some mixed experience from you readers. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think that anyone has any right to...

Hello all, I seldom post, but read a lot on this forum. I chose not to create a new topic but to continue with a similar dilemma. I’d like to get an advice or some clarity from those that understand the system better and perhaps its customs, before I do anything that may be “stupid”. In...

I spent 15 min. unsuccessfully browsing through the forum in hopes of finding some information on this topic. I apologize in advance if I am repeating. I am desperately searching for some guidance  to salvage my career and I will gladly listen to any suggestions. Here is a brief synapse of my...

DId my phase I in Jan/ 08, still waiting for the clearance. I am in Victoria, BC. Everyone would love to travel to states, but thats only after you are fully trained, 5s qualified. EWAT options:  2ew, french language, OR, HMCS ONtario, (all on CFB Kingston) CFB Esqmlt.=Victoria bc, Leitrim, and...

It will be exactly 1 year since my enrolment next week and so  I thought that this would be appropriate time to look back and share few things that have haunted me for years but never shared with any1 except my wife. Hopefully these few words will be taken as a token of appreciation and above...

Just to clearify a thing. As a 291er once your are done with your ql3 phase I which is 7 weeks and have completed sq you will be given a list of EWATs by your ql3 staff at CFSCE while waiting for your security clearance to go through in order to continue on with your up class of ql3. Among few...

I dont disagree with anything you mentioned here, I just wanted to point out that one would be better of to go a step further and be more self dependent, for being content to initiate the process might, correction, will undoubtfully have you lost in the fishtank.(seen it many times) I havent...

^ point is, PRETCE is the last place you would want to wait on a staff to do something... if you want to get outta there do it yourself outherwise you can say good bye to your mental well being. That place is an absolute disaster...and I'll leave it at that. P.S. Nothing gets done there. If...
