I switched elements three years ago, from Army to Air.  One thing I can tell you, and this is only because I have experienced this, I'm not saying its the way all round because I really don't know if it is.  I can tell you that since switching to Air I have gone on every course I have ever...

What trade are you going in as?  It depends on your trade I believe.  My trade has been open and distressed (offering signing bonus) and I've been waiting near 3 years now.  I'm fully qualified, need absolutely zero training, they just need to phone me and tell me where I'm being posted.  And...

I caught something briefly on the news last night about the Coquitlam BC thief.  She phoned the Legion, all hysterical saying she did it but there were reasons.  The Legion rep. refused to say the reasons, and I give her (the rep) credit for not feeding the media.  The woman is a known...

Mike, are the new shirts in yet?  Or do you know when you'll expect them in?  My wife's mentions this morning "oh those tshirts look really nice!  it would be a great shirt for working out at the gym"  I guess thats a hint for another christmas present! Thanks, DME

Thanks for posting Matt, it moves me every time I hear or read it.

Now that PPCLI is in Shilo, whats happening at Winnipeg?  Is it closing down, or are they just keeping the air base open?  I'm assuming there must be a lot of pmq's empty now?  Anyone with info. on whats up there if you could please post it would be appreciated. DME

yeah, I can get the CFRC to tell me what trades are open, but not any info. on what trades are "hurting"

You should be engraving your gerbers.  If your unit doesn't have an engraver head to your local police station, most lend out engravers for free.

They told you what trades were hurting more than others?  Damn I wish I got that kinda awesome service!  Mind telling us what trades were hurting?

Hey speaking of Winnipeg hows it like there?  I heard to buy a house there its as cheap as it gets - true or ?

I've heard the same thing here in Vancouver, but I've spoke with others in Ottawa who found out easily how many openings for their trade.  I'm a bit miffed some recruiting centres will tell you and others won't.

Should you also be able to find out from the CFRC how many openings in your trade?

Depends what you like.  Do you like big cities or small towns?  Do you like west coast wet winters or snow covered fields?  Do you have kids and are concerned about getting to a base that is family orientated?  So many questions.  You need to figure out what you need, what you want then decide...

Yah, I've been merit listed for months now, at least four or five and I'm still waiting.  Your position varies according to who comes and goes on the merit list, one day your #1, another day your #19, depending on who else applies that is more qualified than you.

Me?  I meant ED Tech.  Is EGS the Electrical Generation Systems trade,  or something else?

I don't think theres many in the CF - last I heard maybe 100 or so.  Is that what your going in as?

Civilian members are not allowed to state they are members of the RCMP - for pretty obvious reasons.  If they got caught their job would be on the line.

Look, its crappy you've been waiting so long.   But if you file a complaint while you are trying to transfer chances are it will be delayed even longer.   Do you think the recruiting staff are going to look at your file, see you've complained about them and think "oh, I guess we better get our...

Not much different from the feeling you get when you get hitched.  The nervousness will subside then you'll really start to freak at what you did. Hehe.  Just kidding, have fun man.
