    Day 2 Day routine/life of an officer

    I am current in CL for DEO Signals Officer. I am an older individual and considered a senior in the IT world (not an e, c, or v to much politics for that to be worth my efforts). Sounds almost like my current day in the private sector. Work out. 6-7 (yes this is a bit unusual for most civies)...

    My Application is now in final stages. The recruiter had informed me that unless my security fails I will get an offer. So now its just a waiting game.  Don't expect anything before feb due to holidays.

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    Fair enough.. I should have phrased it differently. Most incoming immigrants at the rate of current immigration rate will insure that most immigrants if not all will have dual citizenship or at least PR in their own home country. Simply adjusting for historical data of immigration will...

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    The US is not Canada. In addition please keep in mind that what was 70 years ago and might not be a relevant boiler plate assumption. https://www.gallup-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/GIA-Book-2015.pdf We are shutting down the entire country for Covid where the predominantly the...

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    Draft is a terrible idea so is conscription. If the people are not willing to fight for their country then maybe the country is not work fighting for. The country I was born had conscription and had major issues with it, they got rid of it and now they have a professional army and lots of young...

    The Great Reset theory, split from the Liberal Minority Government 2019 - ????

    Everyone in this thread sound like they were born in Canada or at least Westernized nation. As an immigrant that came from a Socialist utopia I can tell you that I wouldn't trust any politicians and I would have to be willfully ignorant and stupid to ignore trends of moral tyranny our leaders...

    Fair enough. I didn't interpret your reply in that way, but now I understand what you meant now.

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    TOS is not a contract but TOS is part of the CAF employment contract. You don't agree to TOS but to an Employment contract. I spend way to much time looking at contracts. Little pedantic here.

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    Just to rephrase a little better. My name is on the contract and part of my personal ethos is agency and fidelity to my own actions. I am very ethically and morally bound to do what the contract obliges me to do and I will not break the contract. Never have and never will break a contract, and...

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    I agree with you. I see working in the Military as a job not a career or a calling. Its a contract job and that is all that it is to me. Career is a personal economic choice of employment paths. I have worked with contracts all my life the military job is a contract based on economic and socio...

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    Military is an itch I had to scratch. When I was 21 they told me DEO was bad because I had no leadership experience but I still applied. The wait was so long (1.5 years) that by the time they got back to me I had a job and a poor grad that's all I cared about. I declined the offer. This was in...

    Interview - Is this Typical?

    I just recently got my interview for DEO Sig.. It was a about 20 minutes long. I was just asked maybe 3 questions that stood out about personal background. Which were answered in about two sentences. Very short. No follow ups. Then like 5-6 questions. Are you ok with this?, do you consent to...

    Older enlistment Signals DEO 20/21

    Well they must have processed my application and medical in like 2 weeks. Bureaucratic light speed. Got my interview, got passed that. Now Security and reference check. Estimated time Jan 13, but for some reason I think it will be faster. The one surprising thing was that DEO is a 9 year...

    DEO 20/21 Intake numbers? DEO Log O

    I was told there is a 2 month backlog just in processing medical results. I am not in a hurry as enlisting would result in a massive pay cut which is not ideal situation prior to December. I am still waiting for my interview. I suspect I will not hear from recruitment until Jan/Feb.  Maybe half...
