Where are you coming in from?

I'm in Ottawa. I'm finishing up my two weeks of work as a structural engineer. I'm also going to ramp up my training this month in preparation. Crossfit, running and lots of push-ups and sit-ups.

So I'm assuming we'll be a platoon of mostly DEO applicants, right? That should make things interesting.

I find as time passes by I'm getting more and more excited about this. I was really hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

Swear in date etc finally set with my RC- arriving August 24th in St. Jean

I'm hoping for the best, planning for the best, and preparing to do my best

Quite the opportunity.

Flying in from BC, super excited!

Does anyone know when we will receive our first paycheck? Will it be August 30th (since 31st is a Saturday)? or do you figure we'll get paid on September 13th (since 15th is a Sunday).

Maybe I'll PM DAA about it if no one knows here.

anneadit · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2013, 22:12:10 »

Did you guys get any email with information on what to do next lol

You will get your money direct to your account.Don't forget to bring VOID check from your bank.
First payment can be after September 15th because we can not do all paperwork before August 30th.

Just got my email and joining instructions today although the offer came in almost two weeks ago now. I am sure you will get yours pronto. Maybe call them if its getting close to your swearing in date and ask. I still don't know anything about storage but at least have BMOQ instructions for now and tentative departure date, although it keeps changing :p

Does anyone have any info on this security clearance form they mention on the CFLRS website?

Lysandria · « **Reply #16 on:** August 12, 2013, 13:01:58 »

I got it emailed to me, its one we filled out before I believe. Form 330-60 is what we need to bring with us, mind you I also had a call from my RC and they wanted a new 330-23 as well.

Hey all,

I'll be flying out of Calgary on the 24th.
Going in for infantry.

Hope to meet you guys while there!

Stiman · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2013, 07:44:31 »

Awesome! see you there!

Stiman · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2013, 07:45:24 »

What is everyone bringing for clothes for those first couple days? Jeans and polo? That's what I was thinking of wearing.

Lysandria · « **Reply #20 on:** August 13, 2013, 10:08:30 »

The joining instructions say casual dress pants and casual dress collared shirts so I'm bringing black pants and dress shirts. I'll probably pack a pair of jeans for when we get weekends off later on in the course.

Stiman · « **Reply #21 on:** August 13, 2013, 16:30:08 »

I read that too. The reason I bring it up is because I've read on this site somewhere that people who were over-dressed in those first couple days wished they had just worn jeans and a polo like other people. But I don't recall whether it was people talking about BMQ or BMOQ.

Also, I swear in tomorrow. I'm very excited for this!

Join the club!

Honestly, bring a pair of dress pants and a few shirts. Bring jeans too ... and some comfy polo's or something. I'm sure you will get some time to change if it comes down to us being overdressed. Just do your best to following the joining instructions to a T.

Where in BC are you flying from Lysandria? Anyone else leaving from Victoria on the 24th?

Hey, out of curiosity, which joining instructions are you reading? The link with the Candidate Information Booklet provided to me is dated July 2012. Consult page 6, it doesn't specify dress clothing but COMFORTABLE clothes.

Just want to make sure i'm reading the most recent+ accurate material.
