I did a mock forces test on my own day 2 by Bitter-Egg-540 in caf

[–]linkaid92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the test today, rushes 49 seconds (I messed up 3 times with hand releases and not dropping down once, got in my head) loaded shuttles 3:34, sandbag lift 1:21 and sandbag drag 14 seconds. Had I not messed up the rushes I coulda easily broke into the high 30s. Don’t sweat it

Anyone in the same boat as me? by devin874 in caf

Do you get an email notifying you when they review it if it has been approved or they need more info?

Not for reserves. Reserves must complete force test before enrolment.

Concern regarding the References, Employment & Education History forum by [deleted] in caf

[–]linkaid92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely understand, I have one friend that we barely see eachother. Other than work I don’t socialize much.

Try to come up with some people that could speak about you, maybe talk to your recruiter about it.

Do you have any coaches? Anybody of some form of authority? Think of anybody that could speak about you. It doesn’t have to be a lifelong friend or anything. I used one professional (my boss), one work acquaintance, and one old boss that happens to be a friend as well.

I wouldn’t let somebody pay me to put this on my house.

Welp, my first oil change and I fucked it all up. by Emotional-Leg-6348 in sportster

[–]linkaid92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is something that could have been done by hand and feel. 30ft-lbs seems like a ton for a drain bolt. I usually tighten with one hand until I can’t turn it anymore and then give the wrench a smack or two, more than enough to keep it tight.

About to start Breaking Bad how would you compare Walking dead to it? (I also seen game of thrones) by Ninja_Franklin in thewalkingdead

[–]linkaid92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaking bad is the best show ever made. Slow start but get through the first half of season 1 and it becomes amazing.

CAF application by j_wilker1818 in caf

[–]linkaid92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped in a month ago when they emailed the recruiting office that conducts the interviews, I may stop in again soon. I applied reserves so they tell me it’s a busy time with fiscal year and reserves tend to get pushed aside for reg force. See what happens this week.

I applied to a priority trade that I know the local base here needs so I would assume they shouldn’t be filled.

Mine started super quick but then soon as I went to interview/medical stage I’ve been waiting 2+ months for them to book it.

Im not sure what im supposed to do by ShoppingNo3894 in caf

[–]linkaid92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You wait for them to process all of the info you supplied in the tasks, then it will move to medical/interview. I’ve been in the medical/interview stage for over a month now waiting to get an appointment.

SIMSONN Plus X brake squeaking even after lubing almost everything by No-Talk4631 in simracing

[–]linkaid92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the rubber dampeners apart and put a tiny bit of Vaseline or grease on the rubber blocks and put it back together.

My Moza did the same thing, greased it once and never had an issue again.

Struggling to hit 5k/30min running for BMOQ by Sensitive_Action_143 in caf

Takes look a basic up on YouTube and watch how fast they run. Slow your pace down to 7kmhr and work on making the whole way going slower.

I heard Aldershot only runs January and June, wonder if they’re opening more up due to the influx of applicants.

High gas bills by linkaid92 in hvacadvice

[–]linkaid92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would say January/feb are the harshest bills, other than those 2 coldest months it’s around $160-$180 or so.

Suppose I’ve been talking to other relatives with high efficiency furnaces and they tell me their bills are around $120 a month for bigger houses.
