I apparently got off lucky with mine, it took me roughly 2 months to get my VFS done, and another month or so to get my med docs. All my information had been sent to archives in Ottawa.

I'll be on the 8 January course for BMQ in Borden, see you all there :)

Hey guys, I always read these posts with a bit of teeth grinding, of "why haven't i got my offer yet" well today that day has come for me  :) I had initially been told i would be going AVN tech but today my official offer came in for FCS Tech, my primary choice. I had been told initially that...

I apologize, yes i will be on the 8 Jan 2007 course

I got my call today as well, AVN Tech surprisingly enough. I had been told initially that it was a closed trade but i'm not complaining :)

Hello, I have just recently been advised by recruiting that i will be getting an offer in the next few weeks for vehicle tech. I'm doing a recruit school by-pass, but have had a hard time finding out exactly what will be involved in terms of training. My understanding is i will be skipping...

I apologize if this seems to derail this thread, but i just wanted to add something to my posts from earlier, especially in regard to illegal weapons being used by the Company i was, and no longer am, working for. They did continue to carry CS spray and Baton though they were apparently fully...

A few of my personal favorites: -being inspected on my reserve BMQ course. M/Cpl checking canteens to make sure they're filled properly. Any that were not, he was launching over his shoulder. Watching him take a nearly full canteen, throw it over his shoulder, and knock out the cleaning lady...

Hello, Sorry about the extreme delay in my response. My computer needed to be completely formatted and a great deal of difficulty in getting the wireless connection going again. ah the joy of technology. I do apologize as i have been advised by my company that we are no longer carrying OC...

It definetly is a very fine line, and i have been accused of crossing it in court. As long as you can prove that you used the least amount of force needed to control the subject, then you should be fine. You will always have defense lawyers who will try to discredit you. Personally i was accused...

i have to admit, I do work for an excellent company. If we do need to use force, and it is justified our bosses will go to the limits to back us up. The few times i had to use my baton it was when i was faced with numerous, very intoxicated individuals with improvised weapons, who would not...

I know personally with the security company i work for we are trained / licenced to carry OC spray, baton, handcuffs. We had to go through cerification and testing for all of them, and are issued based on the location you'll be working at. For example at a low risk site we may just use open hand...

Hello again, I have met with the recruiters today and was given the update on what trades would be available with V4, and my current academic standings. It did narrow it down quite abit, though there are still some valuable trades available. As of right now i have been told my options are...

Thank you for the quick reply, I called the local CFRC and setup an appointment with one of the recruiters for tommorow to go over what my options are at this point. Any further input would be greatly appreciated. If possible i think i might modify my choices to Electronic Optronics tech, Land...

Hello, I have just had my medical cleared through CFRC and have been advised that my vision has degraded from V3 to V4, and that i am no longer qualified for my current trade choices, all 3 choices being combat arms. I wanted to inquire if anyone would happen to know what trade choices are...

My understanding of this is that you have passed all the testing required by the CF, and they are waiting for a position to open up so that they may send you for training.

Hello, I am currently looking to invest in a good set of running shoes for PT purposes, both with the CF and in civi life. I am looking for something that more or less will mean i'm hopefully not destroying my knees and giving the proper support. I have looked at Asics (SP?) and from what i...

I know for sure it was a beret. I had thought at first it might be something else, given the diversity we have for headress in the military but it was for sure a beret. It was also quite abit lighter then a belmoral (SP?), it was a very light tan. the other person that i had seen was an almost...

I appreciate the responses. I had only mentioned CSOR as it was the only unit i knew of that was to wear the tan beret (forgive my ignorance). They looked to be a unit on BMQ, just heading out to mess. everyone else was wearing AF blue berets, so they did stand out abit. I didnt have a chance...
