Wow, I guess there is hope for me after all.  I'm not all that fit right now, and it feels like it is taking forever to get in shape.  Awesome!

What positions would level 3 clearance be required for?  Just Curious?  I am also wondering about the neighborhood part.  Since I've been in my current town- 11 years - not once have I gotten to know any neighbors - not one.  For the most part I couldn't even tell you what they look like.  So...

I was reading about someone starting their reserve BMQ a couple of days after being sworn in (I'm assuming BMQ means basic?).  How does reserve basic training work?  If you start in the reserves I'm assuming that you need some kind of training so that you can paricipate with your unit. Any info...

I was wondering if anybody knows how often the selection boards meet for DEO positions.  I am interested in 2 career paths - Logistics Officer or Health Care Administration Officer.  If anybody can help me out I'd appreciate it.

I have noticed over the last several months that the military reserves have advertised for recruitining quite a bit.  They have posted, not just a general recruiting ad, but postings for specific jobs.  Has anybody else noticed an increase in recruiting for reserve positions?   The reason I...

I have read other postings on this site that indicate that a 6 month wait is required between the surgery and your application to the CF.  i was also told the same thing by a recruiter.  This reason is so that they can ensure that nothing went wrong with the surgery and that you have healed...

I was told by a recruiter yesterday that having a bachelor's degree would entitle me to enter the reserves as an officer with the rank of second-lieutenant . 

I was just in to see a Recruiter today and asked them the same question about laser surgery.  They said ' it would be a 6 month wait' after laser surgery to ensure no peripheral vision is damaged or blind spots develop.  That said, you still cannot go into such trades as Pilot, because of the...

I am just curious...If you join the Reserves, how do other employers respond and make considerations for your new part-time career?  I understand from what I've read, that much of the training takes place during the summer- basic and trades training.  How have people dealt with having to take...

I am interested in becoming a port inspection diver (reserves).  I am wondering if there is anybody out there that can share some personal info about this trade.  I have read the information from the website, but I would like to get the whole deal straight from the horses' mouth.  Any help would...

You guys seriously crack me up  -  I need that right now. :-* I should visit more often Private Bignuts

I think my dogs feet smell more like corn chips - the puppy has stronger smelling feet than the older one.  Both Beagles. Private Bignuts

Thanks for all of your help.  I am currently a teacher, but absolutely HATE IT!!!  I'm sure dealing with adults is a bit different than a bunch of mouthy unruly kids.  I will probably visit a recruiter in the near future, but I will check out the recruiting sites to find out some more.

I have a diploma in Civil Engineering and a degree in the Arts.   I am worried about taking a position as a Officer in the direct Entry because of the leadership role.   i consider myself more of a follower.   i know that I should be qualified as an officer, but how does it work with selecting a...

I am a 31 year old woman who has always wanted to join the military.  Now I think that I am ready, I am concerned about the vision requirements.  I am very nearsighted.  My perscriptions says -6.5 in one eye and -6 in the other.  What are my chances of getting through?  I am very willing to get...
