Hello again. I spoke to the recruiter on Tuesday and declined the offer. I thought it was best since I couldn't be 100% sure at this point it is in fact what I want to do, so better off in the hands of someone who's been waiting for this kind of offer; rather than me get 6 months in and not like...

Yeah I mean, of course I don't want to move away from my parents and friends etc, but this day in age you don't get to choose where you take a job, it's a situation of consider yourself lucky to have one, especially a career oriented one such as the CF. I could understand my woman not wanting...

Alot of good points made. One half of me wants to do what's best for both me and my girlfriend, and the more outgoing half of me wants to bang it all down and do this for me and figure out the love life later. I talk to the recruiter Tuesday, and whatever I decide to do, thanks for taking the...

I applied in November 2010, she was finishing her degree but never had  a job with it yet, so I guess she just thought "why not?" So I applied then, and got merit listed early in 2011. Since then now she's finished her degree and moved into her job, and now that the offer has come for me, we...

Hey everyone, just wanted to come to this section of the forums to let you all know about where I find myself now, and what you guys suggest are possible ways to approach this job offer. I was offered a position in the Geo Tech. trade last week, and would be starting BMQ on April 23rd. My...

Hey guys, can't seem to find this answer on here, but I just got an offer for Geo Tech position, and I was wondering where me and my girlfriend would be living while I attended Algonquin College in Ottawa for the 17 months occupational training? Also if anyone could tell me anything about...

Wow  ::) This is exactly what I get for posting on internet forums. Thanks for your replies to those who have contributed, but I think I might have heard enough of this; too much negative feedback, all because I am taking this decision seriously. No further discussion needed here, I'll just...

Hey again everyone. My spouse has been offered a teaching contract here in Newfoundland, and I was just wondering what would happen if I were to get an offer come April month for the trade that I applied for, and had to turn it down if my girlfriend was to sign this contract. If I can't accept...

Completed my new medical and interview, but have to see an optometrist about doing a stereoscopic test for the Geo Tech trade. Other than that it's now a waiting game for April 1st. It sounded pretty positive, but of course no guarantees! Good luck to everyone else.

Sorry man, I've googled this and whatnot but this is the first I've heard of this? Mind explaining a bit more where I can see this? Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm pretty stoked, the job looks awesome!

Thanks man!

Just to be sure I have this down right, once you enroll into the CF and get ready to go do your BMQ, you new salary is $2663 a month as a Pte (1). Correct? Then, one year from your enroll date, you advance to Pte. (2) at $3256 a month, and 2 years after enrolling you advance to Pte. (3) at...

Lots of people explains well enough thanks! Thanks for the reply. It's odd because last year this time I was reeling to get on the move and get done my BMQ and whatnot, for some reason now I have been having second thoughts. All the replies in here help alot, once again, thanks. Maybe I will...

Excellent reply, you tell it like it is, and that's what I was looking to hear. This is an important decision for me, as right now would be a good time to move into a career that is more permanent, and long term. To go from one dead end job to another just isn't working for me, and I could...

Thanks for the posts to my questions, it helps alot! I have asked a few questions to a friend of mine who is in the regular force as a tank crewman, however he doesn't have his own personal laptop, so it's hard to ask him questions about that kind of thing. I just wonder if my life will change...

Sorry, I should have been more specific about my situation, and what I was asking. I have my own vehicle, a job that I would consider average and my own apartment in St. John's and I spend alot of time on my laptop and playing guitar and whatnot. I have done quite a bit of research on the...

So I originally applied for LCIS Tech back in September 2010, done my medical and interview and was basically merit listed up until now. The CF recruiting has began calling me and asked me to come in and redo an interview and update my medical and they say that it looks like they have some job...

Ouch Carter, hope you get in your trade soon man, that's tough; but I wouldn't be suprised to see something like that happen to myself, which is why I'm still hanging onto my old job and all that jazz. Good luck man. Andrew

Thanks for the really fast replies, seems like I'm not alone in this and it's nice to see that some of you only took a matter of weeks. Didn't mean to stir a pot, but thanks, I'll defenitely be keeping you all posted, April's when it all has to be done by. Not sure if I mentioned it above but...
