Hello, I really doubt a naval communicator would be out in the field, right?  I really want navy so I will try to keep it to a trade that deals with that.b OD

HCA123, Thats the kind of answer I was looking for.  Thanks. If I want navy I guess I should sign up for a navy-specific trade then because one of the trades I am applying for (MOC 291) is in all elements, but I am guessing they would put me wherever they needed me. OD

Hello, Does anyone know if you are in a trade which is native to all 3 elements (navy, army, air) if they can put you wherever they need you, or do you get to choose which element you want? I, for one, would want Navy above all else.  Any ideas? OD

Aesop, So far I've noticed that your tone has been one of ambivalence.  You seem to have something against my views.  I don't want to have a discussion about environmentalism because that horse has been beaten to death by academia.  Just pick up a freakin' book.  I just posted the car issue...

Collin, Cars themselves are not bad.  It's the amount of people that drive them carelessly, recklessly, and needlessly.  The amount of environmental destruction it takes to produce one automobile is pretty insane. If you need a car, buy it.  Some people think they need a truck with a diesel...

Are you saying the Navy is more environmentally-conscious than I am aware?

Aesop, I know how big of a polluter the militaries of the world are. I am willing to turn a blind eye for peace of mind.

That's awesome Seadog. It's an environmentalist's dream to not own a car.  I hate the bloody things.  Another vein for the market to suck money out of. I would say that people would change their driving habits IF gas became $1.50 a liter.  Right now people are feeling it but I don't think they...

Any mariners out there who don't own a car?  Would it be possible to live close to work on either the East or West coast Navy installations without driving to work? That's my dream: not to own a car.  I hate them so much.  The maintenance, the gasoline, all of that.

Scout, That sounds like something with your metacarpals. Get that checked out right away  :skull:

Scoutfinch, From what people tell me, the best thing and only thing you can study for is math, such as basic stuff as fractions, word problems and others you might not have done since Grade 10! That would be the only thing I am practicing now. I don't  want  to get a low score.  That would...

George, After 4 years of University you learn to respect tests, especially multiple choice ones.  :salute: I've taken sample tests for the CFAT and my marks were not that great.  I need to wise-up on problem solving, fractions, and other little things like that.  :o Three or four months of...

Hi, Yes, I went to a recruiter.  He said I should look into becoming a Communicator Research Operator. I am scared to death of the CFAT.  This summer I am going overseas for a year and I plan on practicing and perfecting my problem solving abilities so I can come back to 'ace' the CFAT.  I...

Canucks, Thanks for the insight.  I'm shaking in my boots now!!  :crybaby:

Hi there, Can someone tell me if there are logic tables and questions in the CFAT?  Questions like those found on http://www.puzzlersparadise.com/onlinelogic/SpringCurtains.htm  ? They are like truth tables.  I don't see them being used on the CFAT as they would take too long, but I did notice...

How about some Yerba Mate?  I think it would be detectable in the urine for 2 years after consumption, so I better watch out on the urine test!  :crybaby:  I AM JOKING! :-*

Hello, I noticed on the application it asks if you've ever had a security clearance done before.  I think it's just a security clearance done for the government of Canada, no?  Security clearances are probably all the same because they go through RCMP, so wouldn't I need to put this down on...

Hello, I was in the vicinity of the area which was cordoned-off as they searched for the killers of this officer.  It was locked down like mad. We usually don't have cop slayings in Windsor.  I am scared to say it's probably going (hope not) to be increasing.  Our economy is going down the...

Trinity, I am going to have a polygraph for a civilian job with a Police dept. in 2 weeks and I asked the question in the event that I failed it. If you are making fun of me, it's not too cool.  If you are serious: thanks.

Hello, Does anyone know if you apply to a police service, take one of their polygraph tests and do not pass, will this need to be recorded on the DND application? Will the security clearance done by a police station need to be recorded on the DND application? What I'm getting at is:  do we...
