    What do I wear when I arrive?

    I'll aim for the one on the left and hope for the best  :P. I'm probably over thinking this... I showed up for my first parade night just hours after my swearing in ceremony, and was wearing a suit and tie. We did a few push-ups, which was not a problem, but the floor was so dirty that the only...

    What do I wear when I arrive?

    So, I was told by my unit that I wouldn't have my uniform before starting BMQ, which in my case will only be around September. The only rule I was told concerning what I should wear is "Clean, no jeans." My only concern is that I do not want to tear a pair of dress pants/shirts doing the odd...

    Test d'aptitude (TAFC)

    Je ne connais pas les délais pour rapatrier un dossier, mais ce que je suis fais dire souvent sur ce forum et par les recruteurs, c'est de rester en contact et de faire un suivi "régulier". Appelle au centre de recrutement, et rappelle dans deux semaines si ils n'ont pas de nouvelles. A quel...

    The WTF News Files

    Ah! And when they go out of their way to make an impossible scenario, say, a zombie apocalypse, so that this type of confusion doesn't happen, they get flak for wasting money training for imaginary things.  :facepalm:

    Canadian Forces Trait Self Descriptive Personality Inventory

    Having answered a lot of these recently for student jobs from big employers (Call centers, hotels, etc.) I have the worst opinion of this type of test. You can often smell what answer they are hoping for, yet the question still makes no sense whatsoever. As an example, I was once asked "Is it...

    White House: Taliban not a terrorist group. It’s an Armed Insurgency’.

    White house spoke person about war on drugs: "The Hells Angels is a motorcycle club, whose members partake in criminal activities in a somewhat organized fashion. But I don't think calling them a criminal organization is right." ;D

    CFRC system update

    The recruiter I spoke to in October told me to call a few days after sending my application to make sure everything was alright. I sent my online application two weeks ago and got the following email: "We have received your application to the CAF. Please note that we are conducting system...

    Reserves Weapons Tech

    This may not be in the good section, but the EME subforum is quite slow, and my 2011 post didn't get any answer  :-\ I am still trying to make things work out for me to enroll as a weapon tech (reserve) in Quebec. I've been thinking about this for a good while now, and went trough pretty much...

    Purpose of Reserve Maintenance trades?

    I thought I'd revive this old topic to see where are the tech trades these days... I will be enrolling hopefully this summer as a weapon tech (reserve) at the 51e service battalion, in Quebec. I've been thinking about this four the past six months or so, and went trough pretty much all the...
