I found these while helping to clean out my grandmother's house, they were my grandfather's from his time as a paratrooper during WW2, can anyone tell me how he might have earned/been given these? Anything that you can tell me about them would be greatly appreciated as he passed away before I...
As a current college student in Ontario I think my story might be of some merit here.
When I was in grade 12 I had been hearing from my parents that university was the only way to go. They had both gone to university and so that's what I should do to. I put in my applications and was accepted...
Thanks for all the advice! I'll definitely start working on my math skills and will be staying in the program until I'm successful with my application.
That free shuttle and taxi system is a really good idea I hasn't thought of using it. But especially since I don't have any classes on...
Hi there I read your story and was amazed how much it resembles my own. When I got to the part about drilling and peterborough I had to laugh because I'm pretty sure we go to the same school as I'm taking Blasting at fleming frost campus. I've only recently submitted my application so if you...
Hi there, I have some questions about timing through the recruitment process.
I am currently enrolled at Fleming College and am on track to graduate in April of 2016 and would like to become a combat engineer after I graduate. Is there any way that I can apply while still in school and be able...
Hi all
I am currently studying Blasting Techniques at Fleming College, as far as I know it is the only program of it's kind in Canada, and when I graduate I am planning on applying to the CAF as a Combat Engineer.
A few weeks ago I was speaking to a friend of mine who is a corporal working in...
You're absolute right Bri.
There was a case in my family where my aunt was repeatedly raped at night by her father and no one knew about it until over a year after he died because she was afraid of the stigma and damage to the family that might have been caused by telling any one.
On the other...
At the moment I use TD just because that's the one that is most convenient for me. But I did learn the other day that they will wave any fees for closing out your mortgage early if you are a member of the CF
I don't know what the mods would have to say about it, but I would definitely be interested in seeing your photos.
I've always been awed by D-Day and the stories and sacrifices made. Unfortunately I've never been able to visit the area myself :(
As mentioned before it all depends on who else is applying that year. Remember that you are fighting for a spot against every other applicant from across Canada, to give an example of how competitive that is when I went through the process they were taking 35 people on as Infantry officers, 10...
I'll follow mrjasonc's lead and introduce myself first. My name is Tyler I was accepted into RMC last year before turning down the offer for personal reasons, now I am attending college and have an application in to become a Combat Engineer, I can't speak to your questions about life in the CF...
As well, the way the system is set up right now they don't get any sort of notification when they receive your file. Meaning that they have to go through the list of who knows how many applicants and try to find the new ones. Some people fall through the cracks so if you don't hear anything from...
You sound like you have the drive and determination to make it though the training and you say you're physically fit which should serve you well. Because of your age you're going to have to work harder to prove that you deserve to be there. But the biggest issue I can see is that a lot of your...
Even if his training is long enough to allow you to move on the army's dime I would wait it out until he is actually posted. My cousin recently joined and his wife and kids moved with him to Borden for his training. Once the training was finished he was posted to Gadgetown and was told that...
Great point. I had a three hour wait between my medical and my interview which I spent just speaking with the sergeant running the font desk. I learned more from him than I ever did from the recruiting website.
