Hey All, Similar to the other threads, just checking to see who else got on the October 24th BMOQ? I'll be heading there from Halifax for MARS. Cheers!

I suppose I just wasn't certain that that was effective from BMOQ Day 1. After chatting with a few recent BMOQ grads, all who were there within the last year, I found out that the pay structure does in fact vary. Two members were paid as 2Lt, and 2 paid as OCdt with back pay (and a hunk of...

Looks like the MARS numbers have gone up to 18 this year. DEO Intake Numbers for 16/17  http://milnet.ca/forums/threads/122441.0.html MARS (00207): 18 Also heard from Halifax Recruiting Center that selection has moved up to June, so we could be hearing offers End of Month or early July...

Spoke with my Recruiter a couple of weeks ago, he informed me that there are 9 MARS roles available for this Fiscal Year, and selection would begin in July "Unless anything changes". Based on what I've seen in the Forum, looks like the earliest BMOQ after May 23rd is in September. I'm just...
