Yep, I'm on a tasking tho, so it's not like I'm in a classroom doing nothing right now. But if the military wants me to get paid just to sit in a classroom, I'll do it, I don't care really. Make sure you have a precise list of your employment and address history. Even if you only had a few days...

Still waiting...  ;D that cuz I had to do it all over again, something came up.

Are there any positions at the NDHQ?

I see. Thanks. I will put that on the course senior report for Monday to tell the clerk about this. There's only one Comm Rsch candidate in my platoon that has the 02 designation while the rest of us are on 01 and also says Junior. I kinda want Ottawa although Kingston is not bad either. So I...

Hello guys I'm back! I got my posting message on Friday and it says I'm heading to CFSCE Kingston. Does that mean I will be on course? Me thinks it's fast considering you need a security clearance to get into the course. But anyway, that's where I'm headed the day after grad. It's hard to...

@PuckChaser @George Wallace Thanks for the reply guys. Hope to meet you both one day.

I see. This is new information to me, to be honest. Oh well... Is there a reason why they opt for an element change? For the time being, I have no plans for an element change unless it will be a disadvantage for my Comm Rsch career.

Why don't you apply the ROTP for the 2017-18, if you won't get selected, you can always go for NCM and hoping for UTPNCM when that eligibility comes? I'm interested in the latter but I've been doing distant education and got a couple of credits already with the money I've earned working in a...

Hey guys - I got the call last month and I heading for BMQ in a couple of weeks! So they offered me a COMM RSCH in the Navy! (Yes, I was hoping to be with the NAVY) Just a question for people in the trade with the Navy element, do you still designated to a "home port" even though this job is...

I sent my two-weeks notice a couple of weeks ago and the production overseers were surprised. That's because I've never told everyone about my application to begin with. They then offered me for $1/hr raise then I was like ... EFF THAAATT! I didn't dream to be a low-income earner for the rest of...

Thanks for your reply! I will most likely rent, 1 bedroom apartment or a loft. Either way, not picking which at this point in time. It's more of a plan for me just in case I get posted there in distant future.

What about the mid-20s people, where do they usually live? As much as I would like to live near my prospective workplace in the airport area, but the downtown is kind of appealing to me -- the coffee shops, lively, creative vibes, and etc. Which areas in Ottawa where young professionals...

I guess you have a union steward present with you when you get written up or sent to the office (or whatever is the equivalent in the military).

I'm currently in a unionize workplace and I kid you not, it's a mess. Right now we are voting for the new CBA. People who are with the other plant for 25+ years want wage increase like we're still in the 80s, while the new guys are willing to take a paycut to retain 80% health benefits plus a...

Hmmm... I'm 5'1" and 5'2" on a good day, so how screwed-up am I?
