I hear what you are saying. But I am not at that point where I will be signing a contract tomorrow and so I do need to consider the next 25 years, as I am planning a 25-year career and not a 2-year career. Besides, the worst case scenario that Army life doesn't appeal to me is at least a 9 year...

It is being stuck in a role that I am worried about and not so much the training. I am in excellent shape and so I am confident I would do well in the Combat arms, training and etc. Also, past 40, once the physical advantage that youth gives begins to wane, where does a guy in the combat arms...

Hello, I am turning 32 this year. I am in excellent physical shape and am confident I can handle the training. I would enter as a DEO. I am just wondering what a guy would do after 40 in the CF? I love History and Strategic studies, policy studies and etc, so graduate school is not out of the...

Thanks Dussault. I called Nav Canada and asked them. Pretty much starting from scratch. I would have an advantage over another applicant without the CF training. I am actually heavily reconsidering going the CF route now... When I spoke to a recruiter I was told the training was the same, and so...

How much retraining? Obviously not from scratch? Would you happen to have a 'guess'timate? I would assume that a CF IFR would not needs as much retraining as a CF Wpns.

So, in layman's terms, how would I arrange a move? What is the consensus? Is it 1 bad move in 5? 3 good ones to 1 bad one?

Yeah, I am all about the LCF  ;) But also it looks as if I will be enrolled here shortly so I thought I would try to "get two birds stoned at once" and get a comfortable Military pack. I looked over all of the mentioned packs and I am going with a MEC pack. I don't think I'll need a good...

Well, looks like I am off to BMOQ for AEC on May 25th! Well, until I sign on the dotted line I am not counting on anything. So, for the next month I plan on gorging on pizza and beer!  ;D And throwing in some running and weight training of course  ;)

Hey, I have a question: what is the job transferability of AEC Weapons to the civilian world? For eg, IFR and VFR seem pretty straight forward. I am just curious as I think I would like weapons as it is something different. Would I need to retrain if I eventually wanted IFR or VFR either as a...

Okay, so I have it down to the Maxpedition Vulture II, the Camelbak BFM, and the Tag 5-day. I want versatility out of the bag. From hunting to light trips and to heavy trips; I'd even like to be able to throw in a bag of sand for some extra weight while running. I like to pack light. I have only...

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll go with a pack I can abuse. ;)

Hey guys, I am a civilian. I want to get a good back pack for hiking. I came across a voodoo tobago pack at a local store and I was wondering how it held up. Maybe I mis-searched but I could not find any info on it. I noticed the pack is under $100 US in the USA. So my question is do you get...

So August it is then is it? I was merit listed for AEC last week, so I was told that my (Calgary) recruiting center would do what they could to get me in for May. August does sound like it would be nicer weather to train through though. I did get all excited though that I would be going for May...
