Have you looked at the website and at all the trades available? with your university degree you can choose from many NCM or officer trades. ead up on the different trades, talk to a recruiter and see what you are interested in.

BMOQ and BMQ in St Jean both have the option with staff permission to attend religious services at the chapel in the Mega. There is usually a Catholic service and a more non-denomination service. And the padres serve coffee and timbits!

Google Battle Pro -- there is an app and a webpage I believe. It should have enough to get you started. BUT: if you show up at BMOQ knowing "too much" you may nt have the easier time you were hoping for. All this stuff will be taught to you. That's why the first letter of BMOQ/BMQ is B for BASIC.

none of us can really say, It will be up to the RMO to decide. It will depend how high they were, and what that might impact - do you need meds, do you just need to tweak you diet, is there a danger for you or others (because if you go down in battle you are now a liability to your team) if you...

Definitely a better policy to be open from the beginning then omit the truth and get found out later.

I don't have the exact numbers but the number of medics they allow to VOT every year is something like 10. VOTs to other medical trades don't count in those 10, so going PMED or OR Tech doesn't usually get denied. Do not join one trade in the hopes of switching to another, unless you think you...

You will always be strongly encouraged/ordered to shower after PT. If the staff suspect you are not showering, there will be corrective measures taken. You can also shower at night after the workday is done. After your station jobs are done, and your homework as well, you will have some downtime.

Non, ce n'est plus necessaire de se raser la tête. Les règlements ont changes dans les dernières années. Il y aa toujours plusieurs personnes qui choisissent quand meme de se raser las tête. Pour ce qui est de l'anxiete sociale, seule le médecin militaire pourrait le dire. Il faut juste...

It's a job interview. You should know a bit about the CAF, a bit about the trade you are wanting to do, and the regular stuff like why do you think you would be a good candidate and where do you see yourself in 5 years. There is an NDA attached to the interview, so we really can't tell you much...

If you have a uniform, yes you should absolutely wear it.

They will do blood work, but only to check your blood type, your G6PD deficiency level (for malaria prophylaxis later on) and your pregnancy status if female. That's it.

And we can't offer any of those anymore. Cepacol is not in the formulary anymore, and foot powder is now a supply system item, not a medical system item. Booze is typically limited to 2 drinks per event, so I don't even bother. And after you get to certain ranks or leadership levels, it looks...

You can use it up until you get to BMQ. You can use it on weekends you leave CFLRS and stay in a hotel or go home. There is no drug testing. It is on the honour system. But if you don't have to use it, that's up to you.

Well, to be fair, coke is not legal, the way cannabis is... I kinda wish I had been staff on that course, just to see that discovery LOL

Using cannabis (medically or recreationally) will not be allowed at BMQ, at least not while at CFLRS. They go through your bags when you arrive for BMQ and confiscate anything considered contraband. You will get it back at the end of the course.
