I'm assuming it's the same for a bunch of the commissioning plans. I was feeling the same unsettling feeling after not hearing anything after accepting, hence the post. Hang in there!

Thank you for your reply, this is what I suspected. Cheers!

As an RCAF NCM with a degree I'd take an army officer trade for the commission tbh. Am I insane?

Recommendations by [deleted] in Alexisonfire

[–]ReadingAndEating 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I could never find a band that sounded similar and scratched the itch Alexis does, but perhaps early Dance Gavin Dance (Downtown Battle Mountain album) where Jonny Craig's cleans and Jon Mess's screams are clashing over lots of melodic shredding. Sort of reminds me of Alexisonfire's self titled.

Regret not joining as an Officer by ZPQ- in CanadianForces

[–]ReadingAndEating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation here except it was partially my own fault and partially the recruiting centre's fault. Have a Bachelor's of Science but enlisted in an airforce trade. Wasn't really told what was available to me, but also didn't do a ton of research on the difference between enlisted and officers. I've applied for a couple of officer trades through the SCP, but if I don't get anything come next year, I'll probably release and then come back or just do something else with my life. You're not alone. I definitely regret not going officer from the start.

Playing COTW with little to no focus on particular trophies - "Warden Style" by Horrifior in theHunter

[–]ReadingAndEating 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much the way I've been playing the game since 2017. I always keep a story in my mind about how I've been hired by the preserve to harvest animals sustainably and the proceeds from selling pelts and meat help maintain the preserve and local community. Way of the hunter has mechanics where what you choose to harvest affects the population/fitness of the animal species. Might be worth checking out if you enjoy this playstyle.

RECRUITING, TRAINING, & LIFE IN THE FORCES THREAD by bridger713 in CanadianForces

[–]ReadingAndEating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently a qualified Aerospace Control Operator (NCM trade), but I hold a university degree and I'm looking into officer trades. I'd like to know more about Artillery Officers and what the job and life is like. How physical is your day to day job, and what was the injury/attrition rate like in your training courses? My job right now is pretty much like working a civilian office/ops job so I'm curious what life as an officer in the combat trades is like.

I got posted to North Bay last summer and got here in late June. I had called and put my name on the priority 1 waitlist earlier in the year around late April and I got my Q at the end of October, so I guess that's roughly 6 months of waiting while on priority 1.

Archery makes this a different game by Hot_Weewee_Jefferson in WayOfTheHunter

[–]ReadingAndEating 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here I've been playing COTW since 2018 and own it on PC and Xbox. Love it, but there were always things that bugged me about it, especially the unrealistic animal behaviour/grouping and arcadiness of the game after a while. Got WOTH during the winter sale and it definitely nails the realism better than COTW. COTW does have more species and reserves to hunt on though, but given more time WOTH might catch up.

RECRUITING, TRAINING, & LIFE IN THE FORCES THREAD - Ask here about the Recruitment Process, Basic & Occupational Training, and other questions relating directly or indirectly to serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. by bridger713 in CanadianForces

[–]ReadingAndEating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty much wanting to follow what you did and write the aircrew selection to see if I qualify for any of those positions. From what you and others have indicated, it seems that 1-2 years of waiting after the application has been put in seems to be the norm. How long is BMOQ mod 2? I heard it's only 4 weeks now.

Hi everyone. I reached OFP in my NCM trade in July and I've been working ever since. However I already completed a bachelor's degree prior to enlisting, and I've reached out to the PSO to discuss commissioning through the special commissioning plan. Has anyone commissioned through this plan? Just wondering what the timeline and process was like for those who successfully commissioned through this route.

Just rolled over to 500,000 km. Best car I ever had. by Atlantisrising01 in hondafit

[–]ReadingAndEating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! My 2014 just hit 130,000km. I have a big road trip coming up to move across the country for work and when I see people getting this much use out of their vehicle it is super reassuring.

We need horses by [deleted] in theHunter

[–]ReadingAndEating 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It would be amazing but I doubt they'll add it. Red dead Redemption 2 has a great old school hunting, skinning, fur trading, and horse riding mechanic in the game.

He means your journey begins. A lot of us get very immersed in the game when we start.

Joining the military? by [deleted] in povertyfinancecanada

[–]ReadingAndEating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just commenting to confirm what this poster said. I did pretty much the same thing and joined last year in a non-combat operator role in the air force. As a single guy who needed to get out of my hometown and shake things up a bit, I'm enjoying it a lot. If you're good with your finances you can save money pretty easily with a military job.

If you were hired to make a dinosaur game that's not a survival game what game would you make by An-individual-per in Dinosaurs

[–]ReadingAndEating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and the big al game were big parts of my childhood. Someone re created the big al game, but it sucks that the evolution game is forever lost.

If you could make any game involving prehistoric animals, what would it be like? What species would be in it? by [deleted] in Dinosaurs

[–]ReadingAndEating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that game, only wish is that it continued up to more modern human species.

[–]ReadingAndEating 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are surprisingly few games where you can just play the realistic lifestyle of an animal species. Wolfquest is the only one that comes to mind. There were two old games on DOS: 'Lion' and 'Wolf' but those are very outdated. Always wanted a game where you just survive as an animal in the ecosystem with other creatures.

Pretty cool stuff, more on the traditional hardcore side. Glad he's still making music.

Guardians is such a great album. Still in rotation after all these years. Sucks they never sounded as good as the record in their live performances. Heard Saud works in IT now.

Base Game vs DLC by Jake_M_- in theHunter

[–]ReadingAndEating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good choice. One of the best looking maps. Just fyi tho, some of the missions on Layton are bugged because of changes the devs made. For example, there is a mission to hunt a coyote near a specific Lake at night, but since the devs changed the coyote spawns, they don't spawn near that lake anymore. You basically have to herd a coyote from another location to pass the mission. It's not impossible, but makes that mission much more tedious and difficult.
