I am going for RMS clerk but for Air Force!!  But I don't speak French so no disrespect but I hope they didn't mess up and put me on basic training that would be ran in French!!  I did a search on the basic dates and it said two platoons would be run during the same period.  But who knows what...

Anyone staring basic on July 20th for Reg force and if so what trade?  I've seen alot of people posting that they are going in August but so far haven't seen anyone going July 20th!! Thanks

I grew up in Shilo but it has been a few years since I've been back home.  I can't say what your training will be like but I can tell you that there is a coffee shop, grocery store, and department store in the Canex.  I think there is a Pizza Hut take out there as well.  There is also a gym...

You would definitely not be too old if you finished nursing!!  I am 36 and start basic for Reg force on July 20th.  It is your decision if you don't want to pursue the nursing right now but would rather be a Med Tech.  You are the only one that knows what is best for you but as people stated...

It is reg force that I am going in for so I am not sure if this will differ with reserves. I know the reserve pay scale is different since they are paid on how much they work.

I know this has probably been discussed before but I don‘t have the patience to do a search so sorry if I irritate anyone!! I am getting sworn in on July 16th with basic starting on July 20th. Does anyone know how long until I would receive my first pay? I know how much I will be getting paid...

I also got accept today for Reg force RMS clerk. Basic starts on July 20th!! I‘ve been waiting for over a year so I am so excited tp finally get an offer! Oh and congratulations Robertoalan!

I am not sure if this has been discussed before so if it has please humour me! Has the military recently changed it‘s policy regarding the length of years you must serve to be eligble to get a pension. I know it used to be 20 years but I heard today that it is being changed to 25 years. Does...

You might want to look for some posts by Koach as he works at a CFRC and has supplied useful information on this forum. Good luck with everything. I am waiting to hear from Halifax to see if I was picked up for RMS clerk. I applied in March 03 so it has been a long process!!

What trade did you apply for if you don‘t mind me asking?

I think it does depend on where you do the test. I did mine in Greenwood, NS and I had to do all 3 levels. But I did hear they were more strict in Greenwood than Sydney, NS for example.

You mentioned before you applied for RMS clerk navy. Was that reserves or reg force? I applied a year ago in Halifax for RMS and I am still waiting. Everything is done and I am waiting for the infamous phone call. I heard there was a selection on March 31 and I still haven‘t heard anything...

When I did my test I was very nervous!! I would run every second day and on the days I wasn‘t running I used the stair climber. Not the life step but the one where you acutally have to lift your legs to climb the stairs. I had a completely different work out when I used the stair climber...

Happy Birthday Cath!! Enjoy your day!
