The training goes in this order, BMQ, BMQ-L, and Dp1 Arty. BMQ (Basic Military Qualification) which is the basics. BMQ-L (Basic Military Qualification Land) which is more learning how to fight as a soldier. DP1 is trades training, so it's learning artillery specifics. I know you can get full...

So if I do the GED I have a chance of getting in the CF, and for my other questions I'll contact RMC. Thanks, McThor

I am going to be applying to the CAF for ROTP, the problem is that my homeschool transcript is not "Accredited" :facepalm: so in order to apply to the CAF the easiest way is for me to take the GED, then if I am accepted and if I want to go to RMC, I would take the SAT tests they require and hand...

This one's me.... Yesterday, I went to the Source for a part I needed for my computer. What I was looking for was a Bluetooth Dongle which is a bluetooth adapter that goes in your usb port and enables you to create a bluetooth network. Anyways I walked into the store and proceeded to ask the...

Unfortunately I don't follow a curriculum  :(. I am working on the SAT and the subject tests now, and I contacted the Ontario homeschooling authority, but they don't know what to do either. Am I SOL or what? Oh well I'll keep on looking for answers. BTW JEDelta, did you use A-Beka or another...

I have read lots of books on the subject of being a leader as well as putting of thought towards the subject. I appreciate all the encouraging posts. I know the things I could be walking into are not the easiest, and I know the responsibily I am undertaking is not small. Thanks, McThor

Hi, I am selling "Normandy and On" by Les Callan. The only major flaw in its condition is that the cover is detached from the rest of the magazine via the staples. I am not entirely sure what it's worth. Google never found anything on it. Anyways I am looking for $20 (shipping anywhere in Canada...

I asked a question about getting into RMC being homeschooled a while back, and I did some reasearch on the topic. The problem is that there is really nothing I can do to get provincial recognition for my highscool diploma. I asked the Ontario Homeschool Authority and they said the only thing...

Oooops... I forgot the link, sorry guys. http://one-4-all.tumblr.com/bmoql Many apologies, McThor

Hey, I was browsing the web the other day and I found this blog. I figured for those of you going to BMOQ you might want to read through this. It is about an infantry officer at BMOQ. It might help to give you a clearer picture of what to expect. Good Luck, McThor

Thanks for all the helpful replies! I am going to talk to the recruiter ASAP and find out what I should be doing. Thanks, Mcthor

Hi, I was wondering what a homeschooler has to do to get in to RMC. The question is, do I have to write a test to get in or are homeschoolers even accepted at RMC? The reason I ask is that a friend of mine (a homeschooler) applied to college and had to write an english test to be accepted. Does...

Awesome, that helps me out a lot, thanks. That is the only thing stopping me from joining. I know I just told my family about this direction last week and they seemed to accept it and even encourage the decision. If they don't have any objections then it is probably safe to say it is a feesable...

Hi, I just had a quick question regarding my personality type and doing well in the military. I am an ISTJ http://www.personalitypage.com/ISTJ.html and I wanted to be an Engineering Officer. I know that this could possibly bring me to the front lines of battle. My goal as an officer is to be...

The CF does have the courses I am looking for, as a matter of fact my preference would be to go to RMC. Thanks for the quick reply
