    Re-opening file with CFRC

    Just an update for anyone searching the issue. I contacted the P Res unit, and they instructed me to contact the P Res Co-odinator at my local CFRC. They subsequently re-opened my file and the issue has been resolved. Thanks

I got the call for weekend BMQ in September, however I received the call with literally 2 days notice (They contacted me on a Weds for Friday BMQ). Talking to a friend of mine who is in recruiting they told...

    Foreign Drug Use

    The same standards would be in place that are for alcohol. As long as you are abiding by Canadian law, if you are on vacation and are pursuing legal activities in a jurisdiction where it's acceptable, what ethical grounds are there to punish you? That is entering into a realm of control that the...

    Foreign Drug Use

    The same question could be applied to Washington State and Colorado. If one was to pursue recreational cannabis use (a harmless substance) in a jurisdiction where it is legalized, is there any ethical grounds for punishing them back home? While marijuana is still illegal on a federal level in...

    Reserve BMQ vs Reg Force BMQ

    Currently in the recruiting process for p-res infantry. Still have to do my medical, cfat, and interview though. When I talked to my recruiter she mentioned our regiment will be doing a 5 week full time BMQ this summer, however I thought that was a bit short, or maybe I just misunderstood her...

    Reserve BMQ vs Reg Force BMQ

    Hey folks, Noticed the difference in duration between p-res BMQ and reg force BMQ. What are the primary differences between the two (assuming both are the "full time" option, and not the weekend version), and is it possible to elect to do the full reg-force BMQ if you are a reservist and...

    High risk sports and recreational activities

    I.. I see what you did there... On a side note, thread derailed. QUESTION: Re: Adventure Training Hey people, so if my Coy was going to have an adventure training day or weekend, and it was an activity that I was passionate about and proficient in, would the opportunity come up to act in a...

    High risk sports and recreational activities

    Hey folks, This question is in regards to the segment on the application that deals with ones physical activity routine. I know from personal experience that some employers will judge prospective applicants for positions based on the risk level of recreational activities they choose to...

    From Paramedic to Infantryman

    About this, I understand that all soldiers go through combat first aid (isn't it called the 5 C's, or something similar?) But in order to fulfill the duties of a Coy Medic, wouldn't I need my QL3+4, etc? What would roles and functions be? Ie, on paper you would still be a rifleman, however you...

    From Paramedic to Infantryman

    Thanks for the response MedTech32, I considered reg force, however I decided against it for a number of reasons... I love being a paramedic, and will soon be doing my ACP. Im a bit of a freak... I love night shifts, and I love crazy, hectic days at work. I know (from reading and talking to...
