I assume I'm flying from Toronto, seeing as I'm from Niagara.  I'll get my travel arrangements on the 7th. I think he was still referring to my typing of whether.  Your post is ok. I'm usually a decent speller actually, I guess it's just easy to get lazy on the web. 

Meh, he's not so bad.  Just a bit grouchy.  ;D alejo, you flying or taking a bus to St. Jean?  I thought I remembered you being from Ottawa, but not sure now.

I'm no authority on how they exactly rank people, but I imagine it would be just about impossible to score 90/90. I'm sure there's some superpeople out there who have done it, but you'd have to be an extremely rare person.  Perfect on the CFAT, lots of work experience, glowing references, lots...

Neither did I, I had very little volunteer work to speak of.  I just told them straight up, and I guess it worked out (starting BMOQ in a couple weeks).  I'm pretty sure it actually does count against you, there's a fairly detailed rating system based off I believe a max total of 90.  The CFAT...

Hey, I don't mind a little sarcasm if I get my questions answered. :nod: Stop being such an ass.  :P

Thanks, that's pretty much exactly what I needed to know.  I'll double check on a couple items with my recruiter first as well. Yeah, typo.  Considering I typed it correctly in a different place in the same post, I think it's safe to say I know the word.

I've read the list a dozen times maybe, but it doesn't say wether those are the ONLY things you may bring.  I am asking wether you can bring additional items.  I've got everything on the list ready, but I don't know whether the list is inclusive or exclusive.  An example I already brought up was...

Does anyone know if we are allowed to bring clothing items not on the lists in the Information Booklet?  Things like a hoodie or track pants (Montreal is COLD in January), etc that are not on the list?  I guess I'm wondering if the list is inclusive or exclusive.  How much space do we have in...

You are completely right of course.  My brother is doing a BA in History actually.  Makes him no less of a person than me, though it certainly opens up a different set of job opportunities. More on topic, is there anyone out there still in the application process waiting on a NOAB?  Have the...

Well, that's embarrassing for me then.  I did not mean it was obvious he had a degree other than engineering because he was stupid or something, I just assumed that by the way he was speaking of an engineering degree he had a different degree he considered superior.  Again, I'm sorry for the...

I didn't mean it as an absolute statement.  I'll take responsibility for any confusion in that regard.  I certainly don't want to come off as someone with all the answers before I even start my CF career. We could debate this forever.  I would point out that the written communication skills...

Obviously I wasn't saying I'm ready for the stress of the CF, I don't really know what it is like until I face it.  All I said was that an engineering degree is as good a starting platform as any, because the person has shown a capability that a history major simply hasn't.  That does not mean I...

Same, NCS Engineer.  Coming from Niagara Region (CFRC in Hamilton).

It's pretty simple.  To succeed in the forces you need to be able to handle a lot of stress and deal with demanding deadlines and workloads.  An engineering degree is one of the more stressful and demanding degrees a person can obtain.  There is no guarentees with any degree, but engineering has...

Same here.  Found out this afternoon and hit the gym this evening. :)

Got my call today.  After almost nine months I'm finally in.  Swearing in the 7th and starting BMOQ the 17th of January.  I am extremely happy of course, and a little freaked out at having only a month to get ready.  But hey, sitting around waiting was getting pretty boring, so at lest I've got...

No, no call yet.  They said a week or two, and the way things seem to be this year that might mean three.  I am usually a pretty patient person but this wait is absolutely murdering me.  Still got my fingers crossed.

Hey Alejo, I feel you.  My interview went about 7 minutes I think, waaay shorter than I expected.  I never got a reply to any of my answers either, though that is typical of interviews.  The problem is I'm good at reading people and I can usually tell their reaction anyway, which is impossible...

Same situation here, just missed the last NOAB, having the phone interview Tuesday.  Super happy that I'm getting a shot before next year, though I'm still a little nervous about a phone interview.  I'm applying for NCSE as well. From the schedule they emailed out it looks like these interviews...

Some recruiters will tell you how you did, but not what the cutoffs are I don't think.  I was told my score for example.  I took the test with 3 other guys and we were informed we all did well.  Then later the recruiter who had handled my file for much of the process told me in a meeting how I...
