Anyone have details on this new test? I've heard some folks are being tested with it now.

I'm kind of in the same boat, though I'm not a recruit. Is this just a matter of taking my prescription to Base supply, or do I need to go through the optician at the base hospital?

Hey GDawg, 2EW is a fantastic place to be posted between phase 1 & 2, you can actually be employed somewhere your skill set can be used. Me? I used to be a Tool and Die Maker's assistant before I joined the forces, so I'm being employed in the Maintenance section. Since you were a Sig Op, you...

There is a course starting on the 21st of jan, I believe, with another starting in february or march. Hang tight. You'll get to kingston soon.

PRETC for every non-combat arms trade is in Borden. Read around, there is a whole thread on it somewhere here.

Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time in PRETC to do the pre QL3 math pack. The CQ at PRETC issues them to all comms research.

I've just started my phase 1. You will find people from all walks of life, lots of age ranges, and a huge range of skills when it comes to computers/tech. After your BMQ, you will go to PRETC in borden and rot for a few weeks(at best, more likely it'll be months). Don't let the monotony and...

if you're lucky, you may get a driver-wheeled course., but don't counton anything beyond that, as hopefully you won't be hanging around too long. The key is to get taskings, because that will get you out to see a whole bunch of different aspects of the military, and let you see lots of different...

If your trade is combat arms(I'm assuming infantry, because you're headed to meaford), you will be in the Meaford PAT platoon, not PRETC. BUT if your trade is something else, like Vehicle Tech, Comms Research, LCIS, Firefighter, Clerk, AVN tech, etc.. You will be posted to PRETC while you wait...

I really don't know what all the complaining is... I was in 3RCR for 3 years, and really, PRETC and T-83isn't much different from your day-to-day life at S-111 in Pet. Sure it's boring, but just hang out, have fun with the people around you, work out when they give you the opportunity, and just...

No, what I'm saying is that if you choose Army as your element, wherever you go, you'll be dressed as army. If you choose Navy, wherever you go, you'll be dressed as Navy. BUT Army guys can be posted to Naval and Air Force units interchangeably, and vice-versa. Hope that's clear enough From...

Comms Research is a "purple" trade, so it doesn't matter what element you're in to be deployed somewhere. You can be an Army guy on a Boat with the Navy, or posted to an Air Force unit, or stuck in the dusty tents with the infantry if you're an Air Force. Again, If you're looking to not be...

It's kind of hard when it's my dad's business and I'm helping him out. He's not getting any work from his main client anymore, so he just can't afford to pay me right now. I understanding what you're saying CDN Aviator, but in my case it's unavoidable.

Kas, MUCH appreciated! I REALLY hope that i get my call soon... argh, though I don't think I'll be loaded on that course... that really sucks. I've been cut back in hours at my current job, and they may lay me off soon, because they know i'm going to be leaving soon anyway... but if  I'm noit...

Anyone have any intel on the next 291 serial that's starting? I'm waiting word from the Recruiting Centre about my standing with the merit board, but haven't heard anything yet. I was told that I probably wouldn't be given an offer until close to when I would be courseloaded, but they have no...

I'm on the Supp. Res. List. I thought it would be a good idea to have that tie just in case of a situation like this, should probably make it easier to get in overall. My application is in, and they scratched 111 off of my application. I'm waiting for them to verify my previous service and then...

That really pisses me off, because when I was there, handing in my Application, I had 111 as my #1, and 291 as my #2, but the Captain was standing there and told me to take it off my application because he wouldn't even bother interviewing me for it because it's "mostly internal trade anyway"...

I stand corrected...

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Nate, I was 031 (3RCR) and previously held a Level 2 (secret) security clearance. Will that speed things up, or will it not matter? That's a lot of crap to remember, and a couple of the places I lived in, I don't know who I lived beside because I kept to...

Unless all 291's are Army(which they aren't) then your statement about SQ  is completely wrong. SQ is for ARMY trades, not specific trades. When you put in your application, you are given the option of which element you wish to be in. If you choose Army(and there are openings in the army...
