I'm not a FR FTR or a recruiter so take my comments for what they are worth and hopefully it will give you a bank of questions to ask when you go to a Recruiting Centre. PViddy, are your 404's for SMP vehicles or only Civ pattern?  you may find that you might have to do a basic driver training...

NCM contracts are 3-5 years depending on the level of training provided.  Call a Recruiting Centre to find out about the contract for a FR FTR.  You will probably go into BMQ with other FR FTRs, but the majority will be other occupations.

CFFA doesn't have its own PAT Pl.  PRETC holds PATs for CFFA, CFMPA, CFSEME, CFSAL and CFSCE.  Once you arrive at PRETC, their OPS Cell determines what pre training you needand then you whatever training or OJT until you course starts.

If you decide to join the CF as a FR FTR, you should be prepared to spend some time at PRETC before occupational training.

The recruiting system is not the problem, the lack of training facilities is.  You tell the recruiting system what you want and they will get it for you, but you should be ready and able to train what you get.  Three years ago the recruiting system was told to recruit techs, they recruited so...

I did AASAM a few years ago, actually 7 or 8 now I guess, had an awsome time.

I have testicles too, but they are too small to interfere with wearing my mask.  You must have a huge set of balls. I think I may have wet myself.  Too funny.

Using the phone should be looked at as a privilege, not a right.  If you haven't earned the free time to get to a phone, tough $41T.  When I went through Cornwallis, we had pay phones in our shacks, every night the same guys were lined up to use them because they were homesick.  They were too...

The BMQ courses that are running in Borden right now are Regular, not Reserve.  I believe that CFLRS has taken over the facility that the Nav Res used and they are pumping out regulars.

I guess he finally ran out of lives. Have a good one, Airborne.

The forage cap sucked, the chin strap sucked even worse.

I believe that all Med Techs do SQ regardless of their element.

Good for you Cath.  Watch out for frost bite.

If you want to join a reserve unit in the GTA, you need to go to the unit to get the application package, not the CFRC.

Sometimes a recruiter will give you a half answer because he does not want to give you the wrong info.   This happened to me today, actually several weeks ago but it caught up to me today.   I gave someone the wrong information, he made a few decisions based on this bad info and now he is...

CEOTP is closed, but CFCCEP might be an option.

Wow, I haven't heard the term "Depot" in a long time, kellywmj, you must be really long in the tooth, like a hundred or so. BMQ has changed a lot in the last hundred years, it is no longer cost effective to weed out the week at BMQ, that is attempted at the CFRC. Instead of National Service or...

Cadets are a good stepping stone into the CF, it gives you some useful skills and experience but you need to have a plan for the future. If you are going to apply for ROTP/RETP you might want to concentrate on Cadets, team sports, employment and community involvement.   The Reserves might not...

Huggy Your personal letter to your folks took me back 20 years to a time when I had finally graduated from High school, it took me an extra year.  I had no idea what the future held for me except I was not going on to post secondary education, even if the opportunity was there.  I ran away...

Prepare for the test and you should do fine.
