    Sorry, i meant to say 3rd year private wage; i have had many people at the recruitng centre just say P3, so i just sort of ran with it out of habbit.     I would like to mention that there are so many more perks like Gearge listed that have me interested, and wasn't trying to come off...

    For all of those that are interested in an update, since i initially posted this, i have got some new information. I was merit listed a week ago for a semi skilled Med Tech spot, as they are hoping to have me in for BMQ for March 2009.     The Captain i spoke with explained that in the...

    Yep, thats what i was looking for.     Thanks.

    I apologize if this has been covered on here, but i was unable to locate it.     Is the Sar Tech selection physical pass/fail, or is it like JTF2 and gets a point score based on overall performance? Basically, if i get the minimum on this, run in 10:15, 31 pushups etc, is this still not...

    That does clear up a few things for me, much appreciated.     Just out of pure curiosity, what would happen if someone took the civilian Physicians assisstant course and then applied to the CF? Has this ever occured? I suspect not, since it's a fairly new program outside of the military...

    Not that this remotely applies to me, but why would laser eye surgery matter before applying to be a pilot? As long as things went well and it had been over a year post surgery without any problems, what is the problem with it? I had laser surgery 5 years ago and am still 20/20 uncorrected...

    Wow guys, interesting stuff and a lot to think about.     Adam, you mentioned spec 1 pay as of Sept; Since the PCP is a requirement now, not overly new, will this starting contract of P3/ CPL most likely stand in your opinion, or do you think i'm hearing a lot of things that aren't goiong...

    Thanks for the response.     I do realize there is more to the job as a PA, then prehospital care, but just wondered what sort of skills were included in the prehospital care aspect of being a PA; it sounds like you're a great person to ask, so any info on that is gold to me. My...

    Wow, i'm really not expecting this offer to be anything that i was told, hope i'm i'm wrong.     I have an interview on Monday for a really good job for an industrial company that i wasn't taking very seriously; i think i may want to look the option until i hear something better from the...

    Thats very good info.     Even as an ACP and instructing, you didn't even receive a P3 entrance rank? That worries me. I'm 31 with 3 kids and an ex wife and simply can't live on the starting pay of $30000 a year. A P3 now makes $3096 a month which puts you in that $45000 a year wage, so...

    Solid points.     I should have given more detail about why he mentioned the QL3 bypass; he said there were only certain provinces that offered courses that they accepted, PEI  P-1, NS PCP, SK PCP, AB EMT-P, BC PCP and i took the SK course which is CMA accredited. He did mention that i...

    I was told recently that i will most likely be bypassing the QL3 training for Med Tech, as i have applied semi skilled with 9 years experience; having said that, is there a QL4? Is it the Intermediate Care Paramedic? Is QL5 like an Advanced Care Paramedic? My understanding is that a QL6...

    To be honest with you, i never thought i would do worse on the 2nd write. I was just reading on here that your 2nd test, regardless of better or worse, stands. That part i didn't know; realistically, you should do better on the 2nd write, as you will be familiar with the general format. It...

    I feel your pain. I'm an older applicant to the CF, so i understand that although you have the knowledge, you forget the simple things over time. I took the test twice. I qualified for any NCM trade the first time, but was looking at the Officer possibility through CEOTP, so i took it again...

    I found the mention of this person with the oceanography degree making pilot to be a good point. I have always sort of chuckled at this degree requirement to be commisioned, but like someone on here said, they have to have something to use as a guide for choosing the commisioned.     A...
