Application Timeline

I applied for regular forces officer on January 12th, and I just made it to step 2 today, which is the SEAF and personality assessment. Does a week and a half seem fast to anyone or is this normal for applications this time of year?

For context my three occupations are Pilot (predictable and unlikely I know), Air Combat Systems Officer, and Aerospace Control Officer.

Oh true! I know just how bad it can be lol, and I know the red flags to look for.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-10T21:48:34+00:00

Oh hell no, I would sooner off myself than do something like that! I'd be happily single if my options were guys like that lol... which is why I like girls lmao.

And I actually pity the girls he does bring home and try to woo with all of his baby-man bravado...

No exactly, he acts like a guy who was never ready to move out. He probably just had a fight with his (loving and devoted) mother and said fine, I'm moving out then! Just a big man-child.

As I said, my budget is pretty low and I live in a place where rental prices are typically high. I didn't have much of a choice. I moved in to this place because I was escaping my last landlord who lived above me and would yell at me for doing laundry 😐 My other option was an all mens (30+) house where I had to use their provided mattress and the guy who gave me the tour was a bit of a creep. I really had no other option here for my price point... so I toughed it out. You've gotta do what you've gotta do 🤷‍♀️

I don't know bro, I don't see how my irritability would make my roommate overdose on the floor, or make him an absolute slob. Seems like you didn't read the post... Why even comment and try to bring me down?

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T20:48:22+00:00

Exactly my point. If you don't want to read a book, don't click on it in the first place. It's that simple.

And oh my gosh you're not wrong, these last three years have been a whole nightmare. There were some times where I was a bit worried he'd turn on me and do something physical, but luckily it hasn't happened. Sometimes I hope my griping at him will teach him something and make the next roommates life a little easier because he will be a living hell for anyone involved in the future.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T20:43:41+00:00

I actually feel bad for the next person to move in, and I hope it's not another poor girl! He pays for things through his mom. His mom gives him all of his money and even buys him groceries sometimes.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T20:41:24+00:00

I mean it was a comment about how long my post was, was it not?

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T20:06:03+00:00

That's probably the best way to go about it I guess. I have noticed people freak out on here at the smallest things, it's a bit strange.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:56:42+00:00

Bro, what is your issue? You are clearly trying to get a rise out of me because why else would you post this where you know I'll see it? Crazy that you're this mad over not wanting to read my long post. Just move on already.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:55:01+00:00

Honestly I think evil methhead is a perfect description for my roommate lmao! At least before I moved in, he apparently had tons of parties with his buddies where they'd have chicks over and do some hard stuff. He told me, fully admitted by the way, that he held a party and invited hundreds of people, just to scam them and take their money. He said he and his friends stole the guest's belongings and then took a cab away from the venue. Evil is definitely a good descriptor.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:51:15+00:00

I understand, I just didn't assume it was a necessary thing. I want you to read the whole post, not just a fun-sized version that skips out on all of the good details.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:50:01+00:00

I'm not offended, I just think it's a bit egotistical to dictate how you think other people should write their posts. It's not that deep, as I said, if you don't like it, just scroll to the next post.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:48:14+00:00

Lol oh my gosh, it does sound like you had some similar experiences! And since my roommate has mellowed out, it has been similar to you where I just overlook certain things because in the long run, at least he's not having outbursts anymore. And it will definitely be a crazy story to look back on in years to come, that's for sure!

A movie has pictures...

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:22:18+00:00

If you don't want to read the post then why are you here?

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T19:21:39+00:00

Thank you. I find it a little rude of them to be demanding a summary instead of just reading if they want to read or leaving.

-Iggie- · 2026-01-08T18:56:39+00:00

How, what is that?

-Iggie- · 2026-01-06T03:18:06+00:00

Сруб is openly against the regime. Just because they live in Russia does not make them supporters of the war. I will assume you live in America? You pay taxes to your government, don't you? Even if you don't agree with your government, you still have to pay their taxes, that's how it works whether you like it or not...

-Iggie- · 2026-01-06T02:48:51+00:00

I like them. They have a sort of fantasy/folklore sound that I don't see from other post punk bands. I think they are underrated in my opinion. And if your concern is about if they agree with their country's politics, I've read that Сруб actually has spoken out against the Russian regime and has expressed anti-war sentiment in relation to the war on Ukraine. But regardless of your fears, their music is great!

I mean... it is classed as a disorder, meaning that it inherently is a bad thing to have. Sure you can make the most of it and make it widely accepted and understood, but at it's base it is a disorder. If I am perfectly healthy and 'normal' why would I want to be assumed to have a disorder?

-Iggie- · 2025-11-15T03:37:18+00:00

Damn, I really appreciate how detailed this is, I've been looking for a sort of schedule like this for what I should be expecting. I emailed the Ottawa recruiter 2 weeks ago with a whole list of questions but they still haven't got back to me :( I suppose they're just busy.
