  1. So I have to go here sometime this week. https://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_rn=4&gs_ri=psy-ab&tok=UD1H9qAf6_FqR0WsGfqvNg&cp=12&gs_id=1h&xhr=t&q=canadian+forces&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42661473,d.b2I&biw=1024&bih=667&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl !dangerzone

    1. @renovatedkitchen Neat! (also, not sure if Top Gun or Archer reference)

      1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Definitely Top Gun. Haven't seen Archer yet

        1. @renovatedkitchen Both are quite good. Archer is certainly an adult show, and content wise, very terrible. I felt like a bad person laughing at it many times.

          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx my cousin tries t convince me to watch it. I want to now, but it will add to my distractions :c

        2. @renovatedkitchen I'm guessing he meant all of the recruiting sites. :)

          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx ah. Makes more sense then

            Thursday, 21-Feb-13 18:32:48 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
          2. @xeleanorxrigbyx actually, would you know what I should do/look like when I apply?

            Thursday, 21-Feb-13 18:35:25 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
            1. @renovatedkitchen Well, you don't need a suit or anything, but I would be dressed nicely (polo/slacks type bit). Obviously be respectful, and be sure to ask any questions you have. Most of the recruiters I've met are pretty relaxed people.

              1. @xeleanorxrigbyx sweet. Thanks :) I'm sure they know that new people will be nervous too :P I'm so happy to do it and nervous!

                1. @renovatedkitchen They do. :) Try to get your facts in order before you go though. If they're like US recruiters, they have a monthly quota to fill and some of them lie. So have your ducks in a row before you head in.

                  1. @xeleanorxrigbyx darn. That sounds intense. I've been reading through and through about it. I don't care about pay and stuff as long as its enough to keep me alive and support my car. I feel like I'm going to walk in and say "give me an application"

                    1. @renovatedkitchen So long as you know what you want and stick to your guns you'll be fine. :)

                      1. @xeleanorxrigbyx thanks for the pointers :) it will be great. Going to go this Saturday to avoid that weekday rush hour

                        1. @renovatedkitchen Sounds like a plan. :) Best of luck! What're you going for?

                          1. @xeleanorxrigbyx Pilot. Apparently VERY few actually get in, and to become a fighter pilot is more of a dream than a reality but I'm going to give it a go. Been reading this guys blog. http://frombootcamptoflying.blogspot.ca/2008/11/signup-process.html

                            1. @renovatedkitchen Good job. :) Go for it with all you've got. and the blog seems like a good resource. Just remember us little people on the ground when you're a big bad pilot. :)

                              Thursday, 21-Feb-13 19:29:49 UTC from web
                              1. @xeleanorxrigbyx I'm doing this partly for all those little people on the ground, so that they can live their peaceful lives and thrive

    2. @thatonestocking Fine, Kenny Loggins reference. :P

    3. @renovatedkitchen Holy crap, do you have to go to all nine of them?!

      Thursday, 21-Feb-13 17:58:09 UTC from web
      1. @redenchilada Archer episodes?

        Thursday, 21-Feb-13 18:09:41 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
      2. @redenchilada or recruiting places? Not all, but one that is deep in the city. Then later I have to drive half way across the province to do my tests.
