From what I have found the CF Pension is regulated pretty much the same as the Public service pension, and that if you pay into the pension you are entitled to something after Two years of pensionable service. http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._396/index.html The difference...

As it was explained to me I can still qualify for 40% after 20, or if I stay the 24 it would be 46%. Maybe by 2038 things will change in my favor or I can argue a case to let me finish the 25. Also not sure how my reserve time would work into it, probably not at all. This is also the root of my...

Thanks makes sense. I am actually planning on staying in this time around, at 36 years old the only thing I want to transition to is a pension and weekend BBQ's after my 20 is up. I am just nervous about making the right choice, for me and my wife. She is totally on board, but everyone has...

Greetings, I currently have ATIS selected as my first trade choice. I came across this thread and was hoping to get some more insight into the life of an ATIS Tech. In addition to any information you care to share can you tell me; 1) Is this trade suitable for a married person, when compared...

No problem, I have found that making the search as simple as possible then sifting through the posts that come up works best. Regards,

A great feature of these boards is the search function...this has been posted before http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/menu/cfc-ecc/dc-cd/index-eng.asp Regards,

I am going to take a crack at this just to try and ease your tension, based on my experience and research, IMHO, 1) Every application is different, you may or may not have what the CF is looking for at the time of your application. 2) Prior service delays your application as they need to...

Good Call, I found this page that seems to be a one stop shop for links to Distance Education across Canada, I hope this will help anyone else with the same question. Thank you all. http://www.cicic.ca/419/online-and-distance-education.canada

Addendum to last post; does RMC or RRMC offer Distance Ed. or is AU the only option? Best,

Thanks, I am going to contact Athabasca and see what level of advanced standing my UofT credits give me. I am happy to do one credit a semester while working FT, It will take a few years to finish but complete is so much better than quit half way through. Best regards,

Thank you, Yes I looked at ROTP and found it would not work for me due to; 1) I missed the date and would prefer not to wait another year to enter CF due to my age. 2) I can not handle a 100% course load and be successful (a man has got to know his limitations). 3) I am not sure I would want...

1) Can someone confirm that these tests are required, (during the application process), and that I can have them done at my regular lab? 2) I am 36 thus it appears likely that I will need these tests, therefore I have booked an appointment with my family doctor to have this done in advance of...

Background: Joining the CF after two years of University - unable to continue due to financial burden. Query: 1) Should I realistically expect to have the opportunity to complete my studies while serving in the CF? 2) If yes, is there a time restraint as to when one can resume studies; IE...

Thanks again. This information is very helpful in my contingency planning. Best,

Thank you, I thought so. 1) Can I access the information pertaining to potential posts regarding the geographic boundary? 2) If yes, what do I search for; or can you provide a link to said information? Best,

Thank you again. As a married member, is there a distance from post regulation for living quarters? IE if I were to buy a house near or in Trenton is there a maximum distance that I can be from base? Best Regards,

Thank you. Clarification; 1) I do not speak French; will this eliminate Bagotville from the list? 2) Is there anything that I can do to increase my chance at being posted to Trenton? Best Regards.

Understanding that the needs of the service come first, as it should, as an ATIS applicant can I: 1) Expect to be stationed in Trenton initially, or 2) Have a good chance at being somewhere in Ontario*, or 3) Anywhere is a possibility and nothing can affect that I am asking as I have a family...

You can work on your grip anywhere, anytime, for an investment of $10. These work your hands and forearms. I found mine at Sportchek, but I am sure most stores with a sporting goods Dept. will carry them. Good luck.
