Congratulations and the best of luck to everyone! 

Well, I think you know exactly how it will look. Like someone that is not prepared, I can't really give you a time frame for when you will get another appointment, depends on the available scheduling. Make sure you don't waste anytime on getting on top of your paper work, their not interested in...

Oh boy...You can, but you may want to think long and hard if its something you want to do. I'm curious as to why you would ask this in the recruit sub section though.

This is great advice, I always focused on the next meal and before I knew it would be the end of the day. Food is a great motivator  ;D

Well, I've been contacted asking about my posting preferences. After promptly replying I soon received a reply 2 hours later informing me that I've been placed in my first pick. I've been told that their in the final stages of processing, with my interview/medical done along with my background...

heh, anyone that has completed Arty DP1 could learn #2 on a 81 in a matter of hours if that, theirs really not much to it and the #3 should be able to do a 1 man lay once he becomes comfortable with how finicky the bubbles can be. The conversion course as an whole could easily be done on a part...

Mario would be correct, I was an Artillery Gunner.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate that. I actually did bring in my MPPR which was given to me at the time of my release but I was told that they still would require a PLAR. I have done a bit of reading here as well as talked to a few colleagues that I've worked with that have...

Hey guys, so just have a little situation here and looking for some clarification. I completed a 3 year contract from 2011-2014 and released with out any kind of issues and on good terms. I attended a year of university before deciding that I was happier in the Forces in my previous occupation...
