If this is how you handle correction, good luck at BRT.

I don't see why the two have to be mutually exclusive. Do work or don't complain if people don't take you seriously. Also I'm not sure where he implied that guys spending hours in a gym was in efforts to raise the bar for females ???

For BMQ dates I've found periodic success on the CFLRS website, searching backwards from end of course ceremony dates. Periodically, (as is actually the case now) they'll update with a few months worth of upcoming courses. Exhibit A...

If it's with a file cleric, perhaps you should pray instead?  ;)

For what it's worth, you're much more articulate and a much better writer than most of the "honors collage(sic)" students that solicit advice here. You seem to have your head on straight, get it done.

This. It's game time right now, regardless of what excuses you make for yourself.

Would it be at all possible to hammer out a communally understood definition of what 'getting worked up' means before this turns into 14 pages of people getting worked up?

Eyeballing that diet, it looks like you're pushing MAYBE 2500 calories/day. If you're looking to put on weight you'll need to probably add AT LEAST another 500 or so, though I'd guess closer to 1500. Also, cut out the A&W. It's tasty but it's not food.

If you're lifting hard and you're not putting on weight, you're not eating enough - especially if you're 6'3 150. You may need to start eating to the point of uncomfortable, or find stuff with a much higher caloric density. If you're not eating nuts, try nuts. Some are better than others for...

For what it's worth, if people on your BM(o)Q hear you making a fuss about your haircut, they're going to make fun of you for it. You're putting yourself in a position where this will turn out badly for you.

I can only imagine what my oldest grandparents went through: When they were kids, planes didn't exist. Now we're sending movies across the world using light.

Oh wow. I had no idea this was possible. Does this sort of situation happen often? Or is it just something that could theoretically happen within the system?

I told friends that I was in the process of joining the CF last April when I applied, and have seen a few of them recently. The conversation generally goes like this: ??? : I thought you were joining the army? :camo: : I am, but it's competitive right now and I won't know until April if they...

As an aside, I'm curious how much of the current logjam of applicants are people that did the same as the OP; they figured they could coast through high school and just eventually join the army. Now, that's not information that anyone in the world has access to, but it would be neat to know.

Yikes, this is a rough one to swallow. The following sentence is a joke. Sort of. I hear people say that it's hard to remember all these military acronyms, but it seems as though they've forgotten the N in ND stands for negligent.

From what I've seen around here, some RCs will tell you and some won't. Also from what I've seen around here, there's not a ton you can do with the information even if you have it.

I was in a similar, though reversed situation earlier this year. As I was going through my recruitment process, my recruiter (a pilot) suggested I apply for pilot in addition to Infantry Officer, since my scores were high enough that I would be competitive. Of course, being a pilot would be...

To me, this seems like taking a work phone on vacation. What little positive impact it will have on your time there is more than outdone by the distractions. But, of course, nobody asked me. I'm still planning to leave my laptop at home during BMOQ though - whenever that happens!

He clarified afterward by telling me that I'd scored in the 96%th percentile, and normally the people who are scoring that high are aiming for engineering or medical positions. Since my degree is in advertising, I figured he'd meant that it was strange that with a score so high I wasn't eligible...

Mostly the same here, I was told that I scored strangely high on the CFAT for someone who was interested in Infantry Officer. I was also told that there would be no more calls until April I was merit listed 21 Oct. Knowing that at least one Infantry O call has gone out makes me that much more...
