CFSCE general info

[CivJuniorProgrammer]

Hey everyone just wondering if someone could elaborate what daily life is like at the Canadian Forces School of Communication and Electronics.

such as:
1. do you stay in a dorm with roommates?
2. Do you eat in a cafeteria or buy your own food to cook?
3. Can you leave the school on a weekend to explore the city?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

The answer depends on the course -- assuming your interest is as a potential student?

It has been a few years since I was at CFSCE, but here are the answers:

1. The norm is that you are expected to live in barracks while undergoing DP1 with, depending on course numbers, up to three roommates. There are some exceptions but they are few and far between.

2. If you live in, you will eat at the mess. There are no cooking facilities in the barracks.

3. It depends on your course. Sometimes there is weekend work. Sometimes you may be the barracks Duty NCO. Sometimes you may be in the field.
