From Vancouver... not in yet, just waiting on the call.  Are we letting those playing "the waiting game" visit? Might be worth coming out and atleast meeting some people! ... Hopefully the black and red eye and stitches are all gone by then... (Gotta love it when you get into a bar fight and you...

You know it, Bro.  I'm hopin' to catch the Jan intake, since it seems I'll "know" a number of people headin' there.  You, and afew others from this forum.  Would be nice.  I'll be giving them a courtesy call/visit next week ;)

If I recall, there was just a merit board yesterday.  Hopefully my paperwork made it.

Looking forward to it, thanks for the heads up.

Wow... That wouldn't even buy a bachelor pad here in Vancouver... man... I can't wait to get off the West Coast and buy a place back East.

I just had my medical and interview today, 2 weeks after I wrote my CFAT.  I was originally offered an earlier date, but I was out of town.

Looks like those living in Kingston get a nice hookup; however, Vancouver is pretty lacking.

Well... having to had wait 3 1/2 to come back to Canada after spending a weekend in Oregon (picked up some Oakleys too, Woot!), I was not impressed.  They haven't had a need before, and yet now they do (yes, I realize as threats change...).  I just think arming our guards adds an extra factor...

Guess things have changed a bit since I was an Air Cadet in the '90's.  I was the Flag Party Commander, and I remember we used Lee Enfields for our drill purposes, same rifles we shot.  Flag Party was always 3 flags, unless it was a civic event, in which case we also flew the City Flag.  Always...

And while some people have mentioned more sound might be good, I spotted this on youtube.  Found it a little while after looking up the CF Ads on there, and thought while it's a tribute... it would make a good ad, well, a long one.  Just figured it was a good video, and would toss it in here...

If anyone is still lookin' to see the videos without having to go to the CTV site, here is a link to them on youtube - both are in one video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_6vK_JSSTo

I remember when I was with my Air Cadet unit, we were granted permission to fly the City Flag and were presented with it by the Mayor in the council chambers.

Yeah, going to do that as well.  Going to stop by the CFRC tomorrow I believe, and will see just how everything is coming together.  I added some "beef" to the resume, and have emailed it to the address I was told to.  Hopefully I'll get some info in the next week or two, if not sooner. Thanks.

It's not so much having to do it, just... not really sure HOW to do it like I said.  Don't have any Infantry experience, so I'm assuming all I can do is attempt to flesh out more leadership experience, camping? I have no clue... I already wrote down the Cadet experiences I had when I was younger.

The CFRC Recruiting Officer.  A Sergeant called me from there, as well, I believe she is a Sergeant from the Royal Westminster Regiment.  I haven't had anything done with my paperwork at CFRC Vancouver I don't believe, as I have to go for an Interview at the Regiment with the CO and such. As a...

Okay, I know this thread is over with but I thought instead of starting a new topic I could just attach my own question to the bottom.  I dropped off my package at CFRC Vancouver a few months ago, applying for the Reserve Entry Scheme for Officers, and hoping to get on with the Royal Westminster...

Wow... some of the photos from that link are amazing! Thanks for sharing it! CST

I guess most of my friends and family just saw it as a natural part of my evolution, and if anything, have asked what has taken me so long.  My parents learned that "disapproving" doesn't change anything.  I think they learned this when I bought my first motorcycle, so now they understand that...

I guess I'll chime in, just because this incident happened a few days ago.  I was driving home from a session of SOF at Jericho in Vancouver, and I spotted a guy riding a Harley (I ride a Kawasaki, so I tend to notice all motorcycles), though it wasn't the Harley that caught my attention... it...
